Also, huh... I just noticed that Cold Fear's Steam Store page was updated with new screenshots since the Winter Sale. There used to only be five screenshots, and now there's more, and a few more showing some stuff a bit later in the game. Wonder if there's any reason for that.

I've seen Xpadder mentioned more than pinnacle, so I'll assume that one.

Also, hope you enjoy Cold Fear! A word to the wise, if the game crashes when it starts after the first time, delete res.bin in the game's Steamapp folder, that file has some issues on newer PCs as it tries to launch the game at some weird resolution. This all said, I did like Cold Fear, it's not amazing but is a nice RE-clone game.

Checked out the first area the other day an was impressed with the graphics for an old game. The atmosphere was pretty sweet with the storm raging around the ship. Thanks for the head's up btw.

Of course, and yes, and this is one thing I think Cold Fear does really well, is its environments. It has a lot of other cool areas throughout the game, and they utilize the ocean setting, for things like ocean waves that can sweep you off deck in the first areas, and to not give anything away, some that'll happen near the beginning as well will include rooms that are partially flooded and furniture that sweeps back and forth on decks.

I used Xpadder until I discovered Pinnacle. Barring someone pointing out something nefarious about it, I'd never go back. It's made it incredibly easy to map controls for the DS4.

I''m pre-loading the game now, hopefully I can understand the combat. Apparently some of the RPS guys couldn't make it work for them.

I've read the article as well. Having played the tutorial and a few bits of Factions I can see where they're coming from.

They didn't play it on Easy, though. It might be more accessible that way, even for players not used to turn based strategy (like me... I totally suck at it).

I'm finished. It's up to the mods to decide if he's gone, and at the very least he'll be blacklisted from future giveaways.

Modbot is the best. I just don't want scummy people to fuck up the good time.

Man, Rising is a Metal Gear game through and through. Last night I spent 25 minutes in a row just listening to optional codec conversations, and I had done the same the night before (taking to different characters several times to hear everything they had to say). It's weird to see this in an action game, but I can't not listen to it.

I have to say I disagree. While including the codec conversations was a nice touch. Overall the whole game feels like it's missing something. Which to me seems to be the slower moments or scene's that question the player. About the only time where MGR felt like a honest to goodness MG game was basically any moment with jetstream sam and Raiden talking. Especially the when he's commenting on all the people Raiden had killed up to that point.

No idea why, but I only enter Raffles.
Think it's less about the content and more about active reminder that the universe hates me.

Any of you guys familiar with Xpadder or pinnacle?

http://www.xpadder.com/
http://pinnaclegameprofiler.com/

I want to play Cold Fear with the 360 pad and I'm not sure which is best and safer to use.
Click to expand...

Both would probably be fine.
Personally I use Pinnacle because it can see the xbox guide button as well, which xpadder didn't, last time I tried it.
So even if game supports xinput natively, I have the guide button set up to take a screenshot if I tap it, and record thelast 20 minutes of gameplay through ShadowPlay if I hold it for a few secs.
