I’m considering buying the Steam controller. I don’t like using the 360 controller for PC games. Is the Steam controller good?

For the interesting looking KS games, it’s largely a given that they’ll meet their goals, so there isn’t much of a point in funding them then, unless you want the bonus items that come along with them. You could just wait until they’re out on Steam to buy it.

vinny liked it i think, but it probably takes quite a while to get used to especially considering that there are no cross game standards for how to use it

i still use an old dualshock 3 and i’m very happy with it


#766

I use a wireless 360 controller and I like it, except for the d-pad which is a bit wonky.


#767

The Steam controller is revolutionary. It’s such a leap forward I have no idea how to use it.

I really don’t have the will to retrain all that muscle memory these days, but in the near future I bet I’ll find the right game to commit to it. Or maybe VR will drive me to find better controllers.

Either way I highly recommend it to anyone willing to put in the effort to learn a new control scheme.

i think i would really like a roadtrip game, like that highway 17 part of HL2 but like for a whole game with you going through many different places like deserts, mountain tops, old cities, remember when you played those old arcade racing games and drove slowly to look at all the details outside the tracks, especially in cities? i want a game of just that where you can explore and walk around and maybe have objectives and conversations with people? like that

and you drive one of those old eastern european sedans, and you have a radio that plays music or maybe you can inject mp3s into it? but with static and bad stereo and stuff

what have i missed

Something about SJW and the volleyball DOA game.

Really want to see that in VR, though.


#772

There’s no SJW. It’s just manufactured controversy.


#773

Is Black Friday a thing in other European countries? We imported the idea a few years ago and this year it’s huge. Pretty much every store is having a sale.


#774

I think quite a few Americans (at least I am) are fed up with Black Friday. At this point, the deals don’t end up being worth putting up with some crazed shoppers.


#775

our Fnac stores have sales going on but it’s super weird and i don’t think most people even know what that’s about


#776

Today, I’ve spent like $900 on various sales. Now I definitely can’t afford to pay more than $5 for Wolfenstein.

About Play-Asia and SJW: It was a really bad showing to manufacture controversy and attract the wrong audience to gain more sales. I won’t be buying from them anymore, that’s for sure.

About Black Friday: it appears to be on the rise in the Netherlands. More retailers are offering deals…although most of them were hardly sales. It seems we’re noticing better deals digitally through PSN etc. I bought Hatsune miku Project Diva f2, Blazblue Chronophantasma Extend, Hyperdimension Neptunia 2 and U on the vita thanks to Black Friday.

There are better deals from British retailers…I bought Chibi-Robo Zip Lash (3DS) for 12 pounds including shipment costs. For that price…it’s barely worth getting.


#778

Many stores in Sweden had a 20% off everything. That’s not enough for impulse purchases, but I did pick up a bunch of things for Christmas that I was going to buy anyway.


#779

I wish that was the title of one game and not two separate games. It made me laugh until I tried to look it up.


#780

Haha, I was afraid it might come over that way.

Speaking of Hyperdimension Neptunia games…PSN has the third one on sale…I went ahead and bought it :x I now have all Hyperdimension Neptunia games on the vita besides Hyperdevotion Noir. Let’s not talk about that idol simulator, that game doesn’t exist.

@archnemesis
Are you going to make a thread for the Sony PlayStation Experience conference?


#782

It depends if I’m watching it or not. This weekend I have more time than usual but I haven’t looked up the exact time yet.
