Continuing FF X-2 HD on PC, trying to get 100% first time ever. Of course I have a laptop with guides in front of me. :laugh:

Some day I'll get all the achievements on X too, I did it already on PS3.

edit: 90% after clearing the Den of Woe. I made one mistake so I'm not getting 100% this playthrough, dammit

I bought The Falconeer on a Steam sale a few days ago. So far it has been more fun than I expected, although I had to find the right setup for mouse+keyboard inputs (the game slightly flavours controllers/sticks).

Splinterdog · Apr 12, 2022

I bought Lara Croft - Guardian Of Light and Temple Of Osiris in a sale last year to complete my TR collection and whilst they are fun, top-down games, they are very difficult to control with a mouse and keyboard.
Perhaps I'm just not used to this kind of view because the last top-down game I played was yonks ago, which I think was Expendable from Rage Software, the devs behind Incoming.
I'll persevere and see how far I get...

Never even tried with mouse and keyboard, a gamepad is a must for games like that.

92% now. Still have stuff to do. But as I made that one mistake, I still need at least one new game plus after this playthrough.
edit: 93%

This. Plug in a controller, configure your button layout, enjoy.

This game is one of the few I have in my Steam library. Controller is the way to go.

Xbox (One S) controller is without a doubt the best purchase I've had in years what it comes to gaming. Though the first one broke in exactly at its 1yr birthday, the one I got in return from RMA turns 4yrs soon. Still works like a charm. :toast:

SN2716057 · Apr 13, 2022

A bit of Elden Ring, and Wreckfest to cool the nerves

You got a white one too?
Why you don't get the 2020 latest controller?

Why should I when my current controller works like a new one?

The trio works perfectly fine.

Do those stick hats muffle the noise. I mean the tuck tuck it makes when you move the stick around?

They give a better grip as I suffer from sweating hands :laugh:

haven't noticed any other difference.

Rahnak · Apr 13, 2022

@MaenadFIN @Lei Do you guys use the controller with bluetooth or MS's dongle? I use mine with bluetooth but occasionally have some annoying connection issues that drop the fps to like 4. And it's not always due to weak batteries.

A cheap 2EUR BT dongle from ebay, works like a charm. And I use cheap Finnish branded batteries, those also work fine, use those also for Rift CV1's Touch controllers.

Rahnak · Apr 13, 2022

I've updated the firmware to see if it helps (one of the tips I found online).

Also, to get back on topic, I've been playing FH5 weekly, to complete the series events, as well as Final Fantasy XV and The Room 3.

Vroom, vroom.

I use a bluetooth 5 dongle and an xbox rechargeable battery kit.

Mine is a cheap 4.0 piece of crap and still works like a charm. And I use just normal batteries.

Lei · Apr 13, 2022

@Rahnak
So connect your controller with cable and see if the lag is caused by wireless connectivity.
I can use usb-c cable and play without bluetooth, batteries out and it feels a lot lighter. I always prefer wireless though

Been grinding in Rogue Legacy since epic gave it away, quirky and extremely difficult I am really enjoying it.

A great game, I finished it multiple times then completely reset it so I could do it all again.
