Oxxidation posted:i've seen more negative impressions than positive and i'm beginning to suspect that the STR builds' sluggishness might be a factor. i stuck with the basic saber all the way through and didn't have any issues with movement, though the final boss of the demo wrecked me like a dozen times before i finally limped through Yeah I used the rapier through the whole demo and the combat felt great.

Getting caught up on the PC Gaming show, and this was just sad for games shown. I always like the cheesy Day9/Frankie skits though lol, i'm just easily amused.

Rusty posted:It seems really cool, but I got to the towers at the end of the demo I assume and had no idea what it wanted me to do after I got to some platform. I ended up clipping into a beam sticking out, lowered myself down then swung until my momentum was high enough that I could jump over to the other tower. Then climb around the back and up.

I was hoping they’d show off more Stalker 2 stuff  I also get that it’s an incredibly tall order to ask with regards to the war.

I looooove how everyone assumes you have a Xbox controller. It's not the OG layout on modern consoles, older ones, or the initial PC joycons. Like, it must have sold sooo drat well in other parts of the world to become the default, but everyone I know who does consoles is a Playstation guy and so it's what I bought for my PC most recently and it's baffling how no loving game can conceive that I own one. Waitaminute, is this a "Microsoft forced a certain layout in the windows control panel 10 years ago" thing that I don't know about?

Same. I literally have to emulate an XBOX controller for my Ps3 controller. It's absurd.

Yeah why is a controller layout from a Microsoft-based platform the default on a Microsoft-based platform. It's truly a mystery. I guess we'll never know.

I've been using a 360 controller for a ages. The sticks are getting bad and I don't know if if I should get a SHXV-whateverthefuck-microsoft-calls-the-latest-xbox controller, or just keep going with 360 forever.

I imagine the decision to use the XInput protocol was motivated by the desire to have DualSense controllers work on games other than the ones Sony makes themselves. Like, I dunno, the fifty million games already on Steam? Would you buy a controller just to play God of War and Horizon?

Mind blowing that the controller most people would use on a PC would be the one from the company also making the OS 90% of people play games on, and the one that has showed any amount of support for PC gaming over the last 20 years. Truly astounding.

Xinput is great and one of the best things Microsoft did with the 360, just building compatibility into Windows for the 360 controller. Before that game pads on the PC were a loving mess. "Press button 7 to jump!" Which is button 7? I don't know, they're not loving labelled! Now about everything supports Xbox prompts. It's great that Sony has made a lush into the PC space and the PlayStation controllers work on PC now, but that's on the developers to impliment prompts. I use a Dual Sense on my PC and I just translate the prompts when a game doesn't show PS prompts. I don't know about you, but it's easy to remember that X on Xbox is square on PlayStation and so on.

I wish more devs would implement configurable button displays in their games but it's just a rare treat instead. Not the end of the world that they don't, just a bit irritating as someone with decades of built up association with different labels.

You see A vs B or even Y you think "Oh right, playstation uses shapes and there is no Y button, Nintendo has the letters the other way around." I see X on screen and either am playing Zelda reaching for where X would be on an Xbox pad. Or playing street fighter 6 with a playstation controller with my brother, "Press X for random character. I know where the X on a playstation is I am not an idiot" aw gently caress it is the PC version with Xbox prompts it happened again.

xinput is great as long as you only care about the functionality of an xbox controller, but microsoft refuses to take it any further than that so anything that wants to do gyro controls or haptics or whatever has to step outside of xinput and things get really convoluted

If Sony had released good drivers for the Dual Shock 3 I think we would be having a very different conversation right now. There weren't a lot of options for wireless controllers back then, the PC dongle for the 360 controller took a long time to come out and was constantly out of stock. Instead, we had to wait until the Dual Shock 4 for a reasonably compatible controller and even then you still needed to download DS4windows to use it.

Controller support on PC used to be terrible. It is less terrible now thanks to XInput standards and Valve developing Steam Input.

Been using a PS4 controller, and now more recently a DualSense for as long as it was possible. I had bought a 360 controller specifically for PC gaming but holy hell the loving dpad sucked for anything that required a straight-down and not a diagonal. It was probably defective on hindsight but I remember a lot of people complaining about the dpads. Switched to dualsense because with giving up my office for my stepdaughter's room, my PC is now like 8 ft. from the TV. Bluetooth loving sucks on this desktop, but I have long USB-C cables that can reach the couch.

The xbox 360 controller is like 15 years old now, the newest xbox controllers are the best controllers you can buy right now for pc gaming imo and have great d-pads and have wireless dongles so you can use it wirelessly without having to use bluetooth. Edit: Almost 20 years old
