Happy birthday!

Happy chappy birthday, I guess

Thanks

Kotaku: We're buying more PC games then we can play

Not a bad article. Sums up the issue pretty well.
Still my non bundle games are stuff I bought that I will actually play. It's those damn bundles and their one keys that ruin my library. Eh at least i'll have more than enough to play if I somehow can no longer buy games.

Is there any possible way to get a wired 360 controller with a transformable D-pad for PC?

 

[Deleted member 1235]

oh wow I won a spacechem! Thanks modbot and thanks the person that gave away the key!

edit: derp, key was from BKW, thanks BKW!

Is there any possible way to get a wired 360 controller with a transformable D-pad for PC?

Not that I know of. I tried transplanting the D-pad to my wired controller when I opened up a few old controllers over the summer, but it didn't fit the old frame.

Oh well, my controller still looks pimpin' now, including the better sticks.

If that's available then it's going to be custom made and more than likely off ebay and more expensive then grabbing the wireless controller and buying a receiver. What specifically do you need the DPAD for?

 

[wilflare]

is anyone using

(1) NEOGEO USB PAD on PC? is it just plug and play.. or do I need Xinput or Motioninjoy?
(2) Wii U Pro Controllers on PC?

Happy b-day jawmuncher.

For those that use a PS4 Controller with their pc/laptop, how do you go about setting the buttons to match a 360 controller?

Thanks.
As for the PS4 controller I was pretty sure the new wrapper for it did all the work on that matter.

Wrapper? I'll look into it, but it'd set say the 'Start' button to Options and the like correct?

Damn another birthday and dino crisis still isn't on steam. Thanks for ruining my birthday capcom.

Capcom have made steady progress since your last birthday... so hopefully they'll finally come through in time for your next one. Right?

Golly, I think this definition fits most of SteamGAF (I certainly fit the bill) - they may need a stronger term for you, Jase.

controller steam gaf should I ditch my 360 pad for a ps4 one? the dpad is an obvious upgrade, dunno about the rest.

 

[PandaPedinte]

is anyone using

(1) NEOGEO USB PAD on PC? is it just plug and play.. or do I need Xinput or Motioninjoy?
(2) Wii U Pro Controllers on PC?

IIRC the NeoGeo is plug and play and the WiiU Pro Controller you need to install a software.

They are ever so slowly inching towards it. Though by my guess it'll be another 5 birthdays before they get it right.

Happy birthday!

Thanks

The prompts in game are going to stay as Xbox 360 style unless theres a mod to change it like in Dark Souls. If you search PS4 Controller PC on Neogaf search you'll find the wrapper i'm talking about if someone hasn't posted it yet.

 

[Darkroronoa]

- They play games for 20 hours a week and spend 10 hours engaging with gaming media.

More like 50 hours engaging with gaming media,personally i spend more than 2x time in forums,reading articles and watching youtube gaming videos than i actually play games :/

 

[Ban Puncher]

If that's available then it's going to be custom made and more than likely off ebay and more expensive then grabbing the wireless controller and buying a receiver. What specifically do you need the DPAD for?

The D-Pad on a standard 360 controller suuuuuuuuuuucks for anything that really needs a D-Pad like platformers or fighters. I've already got a load of newer 360 controllers cluttering up the place, I might just go buy a 360 controller with the wireless adaptor for PC, use the adaptor with one of my current controllers with the transformable D-Pad and toss the bundled controller in a ditch.

I do have a spare PS4 controller but I was under the impression that they weren't compatible with the majority of games on Steam. Otherwise I'd just go buy a Bluetooth receiver and use that on my PC.

 

[fantomena]

Lol at those Kotaku noobies. They are compalining about theur 400-500 Steam library. I have 1097 games and I don't complain.

 

[Ryne]

IIRC the NeoGeo is plug and play and the WiiU Pro Controller you need to install a software.

I have to go find that now. My 360 wired is showing it's age and use.

They have not played 60% of the games purchased in the past 12 months

Damn. I should get started.

 

[JaseC]

Haha, it certainly would have been interesting to see some more of the extreme stats rather than just the averages.

Toki Tori is <3

Toki Tori was one of the first games I bought on a whim (still well before I began collecting, though), but I still haven't played much of it outside of the ApSci stuff during the Portal 2 early release ARG (which I quite enjoyed).

thanks man! can't seem to get the NeoGeo to work with Rogue Legacy though

Maybe Rogue Legacy only support xinput? Try the xinput emulator.

[Peachpies]

for using a game controller with steam is it better to use the xbox controller for windows or a ps3 controller with xinput?

 

[Atraveller]

HBD Jawmuncher!

 

[fantomena]

Goddamn. About 4 of those hours comes from idling. No wonder my backlog is killing me.

 

[graywolf323]

I'm a Compulsive Collector, you are a whole level beyond that which is something Kotaku apparently isn't aware of

 

[Atraveller]

Pretty much everyone here is a compulsive collector.

 

[dani_dc]

Did anyone else "Recent Game Activity" in the past 2 weeks go to 0 on new years?
Kind of annoying me to see it at 14 hours when I know it should be considerably higher.

More like 50 hours engaging with gaming media,personally i spend more than 2x time in forums,reading articles and watching youtube gaming videos than i actually play games :/

This is unfortunately something I also fall upon.
Though it can vary a lot.

Pretty much everyone here is a compulsive collector.

Suffering from OCD and having a Steam collection is not a good combination.

 

[NaM]

Yes, he has a backlog of 2000 games, not 50. Fucking kotaku...

Oh yeah, hb Jawmuncher.

 

[Tizoc]

Speaking of compulsive collector:
Are The Bureau X-COM DLC missions worth getting? I could get Codebreaker with my GMG credit for example soon.

The Compulsive Collector

- 30% of the gamers surveyed are Compulsive Collectors with a Pile of Shame at least 50 high.
- The average Collector has roughly 100 games in their backlog.
- They play games for 20 hours a week and spend 10 hours engaging with gaming media.
- They bought 26-50 games in the past 12 months: 80% on sale and just 10% new at full price. 6
- They have not played 60% of the games purchased in the past 12 months.

I wish my backlog was roughly 100 games.

Current count on Steam alone, 811. Chances of ever clearing said backlog? When meteorologists stop talking about hell freezing over.

They got nothing on Gears' Torque Bow.

Be patient in your approach and observe enemy behaviour. Exploit carrying a rock. You can worry about gold farming and acquiring the best items later after you're comfortable in any given world (Mines, Jungle, and so forth).

[Kuroyume]

I have a lot of games. Many from bundles. But some of those games aren't even worth my time.

 

[PandaPedinte]

Talking about backlog I decided to install less games and try to finish them before starting other games.

My Steam backlog is the DLC packs for Fallout: New Vegas. My complete library (collected since 2007) including betas, expansions, double entries for Mac versions and f2p games is 123 entries.

Am I doing it wrong?

Spelunky is hard.

Mostly because I don't have a feel for the controls at all. I did make it past the first area for the first time and ended up in the jungle where I jumped on some spikes. So yeah.

The first Toki Tori is cool and the second one is amazing, the design is really smart in using only two abilities in different ways.

I started buying pc games in fall of 2012 (when I built my rig)...up to 112(I think). Might be doing it wrong.

A... thing!

Yes, he has a backlog of 2000 games, not 50. Fucking kotaku...

Oh yeah, hb Jawmuncher.

That's probably not far from the truth, actually. At some point last year I decided to count how many games I'd actually finished, including stuff I'd completed a million years ago (e.g. Ultimate Doom) as well as on other platforms (e.g. Alan Wake) and I think the number was closer to 50 than 100.

I'd prefer to think you're just trying to balance out what Jase is doing

Those region-specific apps don't buy themselves! (I'm still a little miffed about Arma 2. )

The first Toki Tori is cool and the second one is amazing, the design is really smart in using only two abilities in different ways.

I've not read much on the sequel but even the original is a lovely, charming game.
