Support NeoGAF

[Nabs]

Steam Controller is the best controller. All they need to do is revamp the voting system. These people with basic 360 pad configs and 3000 users got to fall.

I hate playing fighting games on a controller, but I found that the left trackpad worked surprisingly well for your average Street Fighter motion. I just really hate not having arcade buttons to mash.

I'll pick up the steam controller once they get support for non-steam games in. I enjoy gyro typing on PS4; I can see myself loving gyro aiming.

They already support non-Steam games, they just don't support sharing configs yet (next week). You can still do it by copying the config over to your steam folder from http://steamcontroller.rocks.

Yeah my big hang up with the steam controller is mostly with shooters. I've had great experiences with it in Transformers Devastation and Van Helsing. I also really wish I didn't need to be in Big Picture mode to use it. I still play stuff at my desk I'd rather have the traditional Steam interface. I get why it's the way it is but for a device that's all about options it's kind of weird that not using Big Picture mode isn't one of them. I think I'd even be okay if I had to install separate program to avoid that.

You just need to set up your controller in BPM. After that, you'll be able to use the regular Steam interface if you'd like.

Is there an emulator I can put my Genesis roms and Neogeo roms in and play from the same front end? Hopefully a nice looking front end.

re: Age of decadence. Wanted to do the imperial guard questline with a new mercenary character. I can't survive a single fight, neither with a strengthblock build or a Dexdodge.

Retroarch is what you want.

I think this is the one that I heard good things about. It was the first Google hit at least.

Edit: RetroArch is what I was thinking of. Guy above me has it right.

I knew this, but having to boot up Big Picture before every game is kind of a hassle. It's just an unnecessary step I don't need and makes me hesitate turning the controller on every single time. It's a silly hang up I'm aware, but since I'm trying to give an honest opinion I figured I'd mention it.

I'm kinda impressed that people manage to play fighters on the Steam Controller, I can't even play these games well on regular controllers. I always hate the mushy feel of the dpad with almost all modern controllers so I usually end up using the analog stick instead but because I lack precision with these I end up jumping a lot without intending to do so.
Oh well, I'm currently happy being part of the keyboard warriors and with SFVs input buffer I'm in no rush to get a new fight stick right now.

I haven't played XIII-2 at all and I'm considering buying LR ... I just really do not want to play as Serah but then again playing the first part and last part of a trilogy but skipping its middle part isn't something I usually do. Maybe Serah isn't as lame and annoying as I expect her to be?

I swear that the little lava hole in the Old Iron King fight killed me way more times than the boss itselft lol.

In Serah's case, she still has more personality and character than Lightning could ever have.

no one ever does on steam

we only have people removing their purchases to pretend they never happened

Symmetric sticks can go fuck themselves..

Sorry to hear you got mutated asymmetric hands buddy. Hang in there.

For my - thank God - symmetric hands, symmetric sticks works just perfect.

Jokes aside, everyone would get used to different layout with time anyway.

 

[Kriken]

I'm so glad I can swap between PS/XB/Wii U controllers no problem, although I do prefer the asymmetrical sticks

Big issue with the dpad emu in the Steam Controller is just how alien it feels for games like shmup and fighting games. Took me about a whole day to get comfortable with it, and I can't play unless the haptics are high. After that I've had no problem with fighting games.

I played an hour or so of Guilty Gear Xrd with it last night. It takes some adjustment but it definitely works. That being said, I'm not sure if I wanna keep playing fighting games on it. I'm a bit of a button masher and now I'm wondering if maybe I was too rough with it.

The dpad now makes this kind of light clicking sound when I slide my thumb from one direction to another (while pressed). And I'm not sure if that was there all along and I just didn't notice or if I was too rough with it and something under the trackpad got... I dunno, loose or whatever. The other trackpad isn't doing it.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Boooooo

I.. I thought you were a decent human being. ;_;

he's right though.

 

[Hektor]

Asymmetric sticks and an inverted y axis is the only way to go.

A cardboard box has more personality than lightning, its not hard to beat.

Cities Skylines and Banished, the former has more content but Banished is just as fun.

There is also Simcity 4 and the Tropico series.

Thanks! I've been meaning to check out Tropico. I like the setting.

Yeah Planet Coaster looks incredible!

Though RCTW looks like a trainwreck, maybe not in the trailers but from vids and impression of the beta.

I'll have to look more into that about RCTW. Bummer. I was more interested in Planet Coaster anyway.

Advanced Settings Return: Final Fantasy XIII.

Surprisingly some German translation is super awkward. For example, options to change input between Controller/KBM are called "Art des Controllers" & "Art der Tastatur" which roughly translate to "by way of controller" & "by way of keyboard". Wow, I thought these kind of translations would not be a hurdle for translation team, ha.

There's a 30€ bundle on the store page (it also containts ALL DLCs apparently, and it costs less compared to the 40€ pack offering only episodes plus special episodes).

What a useful site. Thanks, I'll bookmark it in case I happen to pick up the controller this weekend.
