How do you assign mutlibutton functions (e.g., shift+4) in the new Steam Input interface?

Does anyone know if you can add EA app games to Steam? Adding the game exe will launch the game, but without the overlay.

Lakitu7 posted:In Doom Eternal how much time do you spend wandering around after everything is dead trying to find where the one open door is, or where the blue key was 8 screens ago? Is it less than in Doom 2016? Might be less but there’s still a fair bit of exploration down time in Eternal.

Exquisite tea, on off the chance that you see this before the sale ends, did you end up playing all the Titan Quest expansions? Which would you recommend?

Looking for a last minute recommendation, if there's anything on sale. I'd like a game with great traversal. I'm thinking Gravity Rush, Just Cause 2, Spider Man, and to a lesser extent Saints Row 4. With GR/2 and JC2 I'd spend hours just roaming the world. I'll give ME Catalyst another go since it's just $2, but that's not as laid back as what I'm asking for.

Resdfru posted:Tell me more I replayed a bunch of the R&C games last year through RPCS3, a PS3 emulator. It was great to see Tools of Destruction unshackled from 720p. It ran great for me (less slow downs than the original). I have a decent computer but not top end by any means. The CPU is the most important part. The older games should be PS2 emulatable, but I stuck to the PS3 collection, which has native widescreen and some texture improvements iirc (and a few sloppy oversights). That should work on weaker PCs too.

Resdfru posted:Oh cool, will have to take a look at the compatibility list for RPCS3 again. I tried it for last of us when the TV show was announced but it didn't work great Performance will largely depend on your CPU. You really want something that came out in the last couple of years, the newer the better, and preferably with at least six cores (though it’s not a hard requirement, and the CPU family can be more important than core count).

TheDiceMustRoll posted:I've been playing God of War because, well, it was a gift. I absolutely hate it when something looks like it might be solvable with clever thinking but is actually item gated. It was a big problem with Watch Dogs 2 for me. Lots of cool tools, but its puzzles usually have a very specific solution. They might require upgrades you might not have picked up yet. I wasted so much time in that game trying to figure out puzzles I couldn't complete (didn't help that I played it directly after Prey which had the complete opposite design philosophy). Resdfru posted:I have a 12th Gen i5, just built pc last year. I read last of us is just poo poo emulated and I assumed most ps3 games were poo poo emulated so I never tried anything else That should be perfect (better than mine). Idk how well TLOU plays, but you should always consult the RPCS3 wiki, which for major games will mention most issues and any solutions. Sounds like it might work fine with a few tweaks. https://wiki.rpcs3.net/index.php?title=The_Last_of_Us btw, if you didn't know TLOU is coming to steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/1888930/The_Last_of_Us_Part_I/

Just realized Codemasters took down Fuel when GFW* died, but never bothered relisting it. So it's been effectively abandoned for a decade. *That was a dark period for pc gaming, glad it didn't last long.

For a 14 year old game, and there's no hiding that it's from the PS3 era, FUEL has it's moments.     This is with some minor mod enhancements, but I don't think they touch the graphics much. Not for everyone, but it's a neat, unique take on a racing game. Very hands off. Feels pretty modern that way. Also runs great even on an older system. Over 100fps most of the time with a GTX 970/R5 2600X at 1440p. (Delisted from Steam).

After updating to Windows 11, Steam identifies my Xbox Series controller as an Xbox One controller, which means losing the screenshot button. Anyone figure this out for themselves? I updated the controller firmware via the Accessories app, but that didn't fix it. Rinkles fucked around with this message at 05:15 on Jan 11, 2023 |

zoux posted:Wildlands is a really fun shooter where you can set up all kinds of fun ambushes and action set pieces and 100 kill stealth ops. The squad mechanics are great, the map is huge, the weapons are essentially aesthetic so it’s about maneuver and finesse. Breakpoint is a loving disaster of a game where they took what was a cult favorite and tried to turn it into a looter shooter and ended having to retroactively invent something resembling the mechanics of the first one but didn’t quite get there. Not to mention bullet sponge drones loving everywhere and changing the player character from a nameless cypher into a somehow even broodier Marcus Fenix. They laid out a lot of cash to get John Berenthal to mocap the villain so every cutscene is these two dudes growling and grimacing at each other. If I ever pick one up in a sale, which should I get?

John Murdoch posted:Something full 3D with action and open world elements (or really just any kind of tangible exploration, doesn't have to be a full blown Ubisoft iconfest), but without relying on the same repeated sandbox formula where you toil away space trucking between generic space stations so you can afford to make numbers go up a tiny bit and exploration takes the form of "sometimes you see a pretty skybox". Like I want to zip my little ship inbetween the wreckage of some huge gently caress-off dreadnought to retrieve some cool bespoke weapon, then when pirates inevitably ambush me I can use the terrain to my advantage. It's probably going to sound dumb as hell, but basically the same kind of well-rounded experience as something like the Arkham games or Tomb Raider or something but you just happen to be in a spaceship. Explore/sneak/fight, find collectibles or upgrades, mild RPG elements instead of insanely meticulous and granular ship customization. How was Freelancer in that regard?

Anyone play Disciples: Liberation? First impressions were decent but now I’m beginning to think everything is too slow. And the map is pointlessly littered with high level enemies. There was some of that in the originals, but usually you’d have to go out of your way to find them.

anilEhilated posted:I'm currently playing it and liking it a lot, although it is necessary to speed up combat animations before you die of old age. The units' abilities have interesting combinations and the story is a lot more responsive to your choices than you'd expect from a strategy game. I think it’s an interesting evolution of the series. The battle system is good, but I’m not sure if I have the patience for dozens more of these low stakes but time consuming fights. But I’m not giving up yet.

Is it just me or are Necromunda: Hired Gun’s gamepad controls pretty, or possibly very bad? Aiming feels loose and button choice seems poor (like binding dash to a stick click).

credburn posted:Oblivion was probably the greatest hype-to-disappointment plunge I've ever felt. Coming to the game predisposed to over a decade's worth of negativity, I had the opposite reaction to Oblivion a few years ago. Not that it didn't have a billion issues, but there was a lot to like, and I think Skyrim was a regression in some respects even. (Undeniably, though, mods let me ignore some of the rougher edges.) Runs kinda crap though. It could really do with an engine update. Rinkles fucked around with this message at 08:20 on Jan 20, 2023 |

I'm getting real mad cause bad at NFS Heat. I suck at driving, so I knew what I was signing up for, but my lizard brain still can't help but get frustrated. It's also weird to be drifting with nothing but the gas pedal (you initiate a drift by letting go, turning, and then hitting the gas pedal again when still turning).

I didn't follow it that closely so I don't know if this should be much of a surprise, but The Division seems quite good. The premise notwithstanding (and it's a bit hard to ignore when you're constantly ordered to shoot on "rioters"), I really like it so far. The shooting feels great and the presentation is slick. And they did a really good job with the city. I'm not sure how to describe it but it both feels tightly designed and wide open like a real city (though it's not exactly; you usually need to take specific entryways to access mission areas). It's been surprisingly tactical. It's the first shooter in a while where I'm consistently blind firing from cover (and feeling good about it). And though it's been surpassed graphically, it still looks good. And there are a poo poo ton of art assets.

The combat in The Division is really top tier. I just had a fight I had to redo three times, but it felt well earned when I overcame it. (It was against three snipers in an area with no good cover, whilst being swarmed from different directions). It's very good at making every little tactical decision matter, your positioning, where you set up your turret, whether you blind fire, even whether you reload mid-magazine. And you feel smart when you get it right. And the AI is great. It's quite human both in how smart it can be, but also the mistakes it makes. Here's an enemy patiently waiting for my turret to expire, only to expose themselves to my own fire when it does. https://i.imgur.com/yWk5YmC.mp4 Rinkles fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Jan 23, 2023 |
