If it's any consolation...my experience(and frustration level) with the xbox mirrored yours to some degree. I don't know if I'm dyslexic, or if it is because I'm left handed....or possibly it could be tied to a TBI that I have to live with...I just couldn't get the hang of those controllers. AND I assure you it wasn't for lack of trying. I don't give up easily...:).

Essentially...my problem can be boiled down to this...when I wanted to go right, I'd go left...and vice versa.

I ended up returning it... :)

Best Regards,

Liquid Cool

I can't get GTA5 to run without random crashes and believe me i've tried everything except the right thing. It's stability is making me unstable. So i switched to Saints Row The Third for some mindless mayhem and it's running fine.

Has anybody played Call of Cthulhu by publisher Focus? They have published some good games as of late and i wondered if this was another one...maybe i'll play it and Alan Wake for Halloween's sake.

Cyanide’s Lovecraftian horror is a mind-shattering good time.

I’m almost always a sucker for Focus published games. Maybe it is the great love I have for AA and Indie games over the vast majority of AAA. I have that game, but it is still down on my backlog list. If you get to it first I’d love to hear your thoughts!

The Town of Light. Walking Simulator. The ending made me squirm in my seat. Good game.

I played that game. Pretty good at keeping the creepy factor up. I didn’t see it as a “walking simulator.” It’s a first person Adventure game. There is a lot to interact with and that you NEED TO interact with to solve whatever puzzle or portion of the story you are in, just like any Adventure game.
 
This seems to be the appropriate thread for this kind of question, so I'll go ahead and ask: Has someone here played Assetto Corsa? And if so, is it comfortably playable with a controller?
I've seen loads of people saying that the steering sensitivity with controllers is extremely delicate, but I've also seen some people on Steam forums saying that it's perfectly playable if you ajust some of the settings.

Asseto Corsa is a nice game but the controls are not as sensitive as Project Cars 2. It is not as good as Grid in control though.

Oh, I see. Guess I'll give it a try then. Thanks a lot!
 
Greedfall's (patched), 2nd half of the game after getting stuck / running out quests due to a main quest chain breaking bug. Finished Plague Tale in between getting stuck/patch wait.

Your right I changed it. But the help key is there if someone just wants to experience the story. The hints made it more like a walking simulator for me.

I've finished Leon A-Claire B part of RE 2 remake quite some time ago, I had to thank myself for not watching any let's plays of it 'cause it would have ruined it entirely. Well, there was a certain scene in the original that pulled my heartstrings the first time I saw it, it didn't punch me in the gut like I expected it to, in fact I felt nothing when watching most of the cutscenes in the remake, maybe my insides turned to stone or something.

I want to go for unlockables, but the enemies that insta-latch onto you brought my blood to a boil at times, or whatever is chasing me just happens to teleport right behind a door, made me quit a few times, when the fun stops, I had to stop. Maybe it was a problem with me not using as much ammo and avoiding fighting as much as possible, I only noticed later on that combining gunpowders at lower total ammo counts during a playthrough means you'll get more ammo from them. So if you're not completely useless when aiming, it means you'd probably never be out of ammo if you're playing smart, it still sucked that ammo for the most powerful guns is scarce and you don't get to keep what's in the safe box in the next playthrough, it's not a NG+ like I assumed it would be.

Well after all of that, I just felt relieved Capcom didn't **** it up. And compared to Resident Evil VII, at least I had more motivation in finishing it.

I went back to playing Skyrim... again... just felt like updating a few mods... and I'm hooked again. I bought the Oculus Rift S. And I am dying to try my first VR. It just peed me off that I had to buy a separate Skyrim copy just to play in full VR. At least I got it on a very short sale, and it just so happens that a few people are selling their VR gear at the moment.

The problem is, I've got nearly no days off to enjoy any of that and feel like calling in sick any moment now. :laugh: (I've still got a cold, for reals tho)

I just can't get immersed in a video game anymore, knowing and being reminded that in the next several hours I'll be back doing something utterly boring.

I want to try out Code Vein, but some people spoiled it for me and said they don't like it because of the fighting mechanics, which is nearly the whole game.

@Calmmo for Plague tale all you need to do is restart the entire level and it will work. no patch or fix is ever coming up (if we are talking about the same bug). There is a quest where the female npc get's stuck. she needs to trigger the next scene the npc does nothing. restarting the entire level helps.
Other than this Plague Tale is an amazing game...the story and voice acting are superb! It takes you on an emotional ride....

Something that also takes you on an emotional ride is

....Nioh, co-op. When you need to restart the level for the 5th time cuz it's so hard.

Played Bloody Spell. The best part of the game is the home screen wallpaper. At the incredibly high price it is being sold, it's not worth the money.
A souls type game, with 2 levels...that get changed around with different enemies spawns making for "more levels' even tho they look kinda exactly the same.
You can also change the skins of the character (just like in Nioh) and get to play with a 90% naked woman.

I also played Ion Fury. And it is soooo good! Sucks that i recorded for about 4 hours (probably almost finished the whole game) and the recording is all white...with just sound in the background.
It looks like Quake 2, made in 2019...it's a first-person shooter with an angry woman with great funny/violent lines. I did not get to any boss fights. But it is a fresh breath of air.
100% single-player shooter...that just works! You shoot stuff, it looks amazing, it feels soo amazing. The entire experience is very pleasant.
 
I'm getting tiered of mindless mayhem. Even though i've got the best mod for Saints Row The Third...i would post a pic but y'all might be at work. :D

I'm gonna give Call of Cthulhu a whirl. I'll start it tomorrow.
 
Felt like something open world ish.

Ended up here. Strange how this looks, feels and plays quite precisely like Fallout or Skyrim. And then consider its seventeen years old.

Still, Morrowind does nail it in terms of atmosphere, world building and narrative for me. More so than any other. Everything has great cohesion, and literally breathes adventure. That, and enchanting, spellmaking... and even half decent itemization and nice build options.

Ahh, I see you're a man of culture as well. Good. Good... Elder Scrolls gang for life!

I got around trying modded Daggerfall Unity, and it was pretty cool to try out. I think Morrowind was the least I've ever modded a game so far, huh... Seriously that game barely needs mods because it has so much content. Non-speedrunning and going through every main quest and occasional dungeon hunting has me enjoying a playthrough for weeks on end.

Playing in OpenMW, and knowing the game will never crash is such a huge relief for me. I was haunted by the great crash to desktop boogeyman all the time since I started first playing Elder Scrolls games. It feels liberating.

My game is almost unmodded... Just the mandatory community bugfix stuff and Morrowind Enhanced Overhaul which is mostly UI and graphics. Also MGE XE. Modding Skyrim took waaay more effort whenever I did it. This was peanuts :) Its funny how grass, godrays and water makes it all look so much more vivid.

And like you say, there's not all that much needed to change. The combat is equally clunky but mechanically works way better than it does in Skyrim (or Fallout, which really plays like Skyrim with guns), same as spellcasting, so no mods needed there unless you want 'more' of things.

Yeah Daggerfall.. that might be a tad too vintage for my taste :D
