ruin a good DS4 that way with stickyness
morningbus
Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
How often are you looking at the buttons?
Do you look at your controller when you play? How would modifying what the buttons look like help you?
My biggest problem is that I keep pressing X on the DS4 thinking that its the X on Xbox. Since they're on different area.
I never look at the screen. Head down at my controller all the time.
Honestly? Just play Path of Exile.

I didn't realize that Paradox published the Crusader Kings games and also a game called The King's Crusade. I was momentarily very confused while looking at Steam.

hopefully, with their being so much love given to the DS4, we'll see more stuff like this:
or mods like this, which are awesome:
I guess my suggestion would be to learn what the buttons do in the game. Unless it's just a random QTE, usually it's telling you to X for punching (which would be square) and A for jumping (which would be X). I guess when the prompts come up I just think about the action, not the button (double tap jump to jump over an enemy). Or whatever.

Van Helsing 2 goes on sale frequently/already and is a better game than TL2 is if you are looking for something less time consuming than D3 and that doesn't have the "demand" for HC play that PoE does.
PoE and D3 are the genre kings (and operate at different poles on the spectrum, and as such peacefully coexist).
ffxiv and the swapper are ones I remember with the PS button option
edit: whoa I didn't know I'm a page off

I can't tell who's serious and who's joking about this Controller business.
...you can play C,S,D with a controller?
This changes...everything.

Well it's obvious a few of you haven't suffered through the pain that used to be the old style numbered button prompts coresponding to the button asignments from a directinput controller. Nothing beats trying to pass a QTE in Resident Evil 4 when it asks you to press 4 & 8 to not die. Who the fuck knows what buttons 4 and 8 are off the top of their head let alone in the heat of the moment. And not every controller had the same layout either, even the waves of PS2 rip offs.
Anyhoo just catching up on my on the fence October releases and between The Evil Within and Alien Isolation I have doubts about each. Defiantly liking the look, feel and art of The Evil Within but not a chance am I preordering that until I've heard how it runs. Conversely Alien Isolation looks to be alright on PC from the few bits and bobs I've seen but I'm not too sure about the gameplay, mechanics and longevity.

You want fun?
Witcher 2 screws up the prompts if you change the buttons and use a controller. Some of them are correct and others show up wrong. Also, inconsistently wrong, so sometimes a X prompt will mean RB and sometimes it will mean Y. Inexcusable. Not that random QTEs are excusable anyway.
Oh cool, Sunrider got the free update. Time to play that again...
Yes, yur right. I've been meaning to go through my backlog but i keep getting distracted by GW2 and Haearthstone and CSGO and Marvel and random waifu games.
But frosty-kun, is it worth it? I dunno.
Speaking of worth, the thing coming out tomorrow is totally not worth it. I'd rather get it on the Wii U than on some handheld where it's apparently neutered(?). Who plays a party brawler/fighter(?) on a 3ds anyways? The flimsy analog is gonna fall off. Silly bakas.
Will Korra be worth it? I hope it's cheap enough.
Is anything worth anything?
What am i fighting for?
Will Olicity be endgame?
Is deleting all these games for FFXIII worth it?
Find out on the next episode of Dragonball Z.
Sounds like someone needs to save up for a new hard drive.
Or play some games so you can, y'know, delete them when you're done.

i want Xenoverse, hope it's worth it :O
Yeah, Cook, Serve, Delicious and FFXIV ARR are the only games I've played that actually let you select whether to display Xbox or PS button prompts. But really, if Chubigans can implement it in CSD, larger devs really have no excuse not to.
I know Transistor supports PS button prompts, but only if you have a DS4. People with DS3s are still stuck with Xbox prompts.
But you get used it. Even though I haven't turned on my Xbox in over a year and a half, I have no real difficulty associating Xbox buttons with the corresponding buttons on my DS3. I'd rather have the correct prompts, but it's not going to give me any difficulty if they aren't there.
Oh yeah, it's great. I couldn't imagine playing it any other way.

Yeah that was way harder than the present issue. The present issue isn't really an issue if you used both consoles for the better part of last gen.

I just copied the PS2 control scheme and I think I could read most of the prompts from the button position. At least with 2 buttons at once, I think there were some like that in the
Krauser fight
Or just eventually got used to it playing the game, dunno.

If I remember correctly, Octodad Dadliest Catch shows the PS4 controller by default.
You almost convinced me to try Van Helsing, but I'm kind of burned on the whole genre, played too many hours of Torchlight 2, Diablo 3, Path of exile and for some stupid reason I even sank 100+ hours on marvel heroes. I think I'll wait a few years.
Yeah The Witcher II isn't know for being particarly controller friendly. Still it's nice to have the option.
For sure. Plus each individual button having a colour tied to it for me is faster to recognise than the letter or shale they're meant to be. The green and red button prompts are the same across Game Cube, And Xbox controllers (with PlayStation swapping blue for green) so straight away it clicks. That and they are more often than not used to confirm and cancel respectively. If a prompt comes up saying press 3 to confirm and 5 to cancel that's a completely different story.

I learnt where they were on a Microsoft Sidewinder (or something like) through trial, error, pain, suffering and repetition. Probably by the time I got it down I more than likely would have finished it.
But yeah, it would be wonderful if devs would include alternate button prompts on their games, it would be super easy for them.
There was an article today/yesterday @pcgamer about it:
http://www.pcgamer.com/the-weird-ecomomics-behind-steam-prices-around-the-world/
Which is strange, because the movement, combat setup, and menus all seem designed around a controller.
But that QTE mess and the dizzying door-exit camera spin bug really hurt the game for me.

VH2 has some interesting spins on character customization and has a neat (for the genre) tower defense mode. It's not that bad, but again it is something you go to when you're burnt out on everything else but can't seem to want to play other genres. I'm more or less OK with the recurring Diablo 3 relapse.
Thanks! Hopefully it will force me to manage my time better! \o/
Oh no, not Fish!

For the DS3 controller
master race
Now when I plug my controller in, it recognizes it as a PS3 controller under the "safely remove hardware" tab, but all of the lights on the controller blink rather than the P1 light staying on. The device manager doesn't recognize the controller at all, so every time I plug in, I have to uninstall and then reinstall the XInput wrapper! Does anyone know what's going on? :O
I'm pretty sure that I see Paradox employees every time I go to the good burger place close to where I work.
Too bad I don't really like their games or I'd ask them what's up.
The fact that the TD mode is apparently more expansive in VH2 than it was in VH1 is precisely why I refuse to buy it. That shit was completely awful in VH1.
all these 4/6gig recommended specs huh
im counting on that Nvidia rep who showed up on GAF and gifted me a 560ti way back for making the steam sales thread to show up again on christmas

What? Replaying the EE edition right now (Steam achievements yo!) with a controller. Going for a 100% playthrough, on the final chapter, I've never had it happen.
Notes:
The original release was a mess though.
QTE's are secret indoctrination attempts by Flagellants.
Because there is always a subset of a population, in this case Europeans, who have a tenuous grasp on how exchange rates work.
If you could take advantage of an entire continent, wouldn't you do it too?!
At least there are cool pubs like XSEED and others that understand the difference between $ and .
yur controller that is.
or something
use a a different DS3 and see if the same thing happens?
Try plugging your DS3 into your PS3 and making sure it works. Then take it out and plug it into your PC and see what happens.
That's weird though. I always use BetterDS3, I don't know if that would help at all.
Off the top of my head, is your PS3 turning on? I've had that happen a few times, and it screws things up.
If that's not it, are you on using a wired or wireless connection? I use wired, so if for whatever reason my PC is not recognizing my controller, I unplug the USB cord on the PC end (checking again that my PS3 does not turn on when I unplug it), and then plug it in. Usually forces windows to recognize the device.

Those things are optional. No one is making you do them except you.
This just happened to me two weeks ago when my computer forced my Win8 up to a Win8.1.
Basically, the windows update wiped away the drivers. I just redownloaded the PCSX ones and reinstalled them, rebooted and everything worked perfectly again. You could try just removing and reapplying the drivers if they still exist on your compy. You can remove them by using the exe that you used to install them in the first place.
Hope this helps.
I played on what I think is the latest version (played about 6 months ago). The QTE bug only happens when you change the buttons from default. It may also only happen when you change default face buttons to triggers/bumpers. I wanted Dark Souls layout and it buggered all QTEs up. Didn't really realize it until the forest boss, when i thought i wasn't hitting them fast enough, cuz some would work and others would fail.
The door spin bug is well documented. It happened in different spots of the game; when you entered or exited a door without your sword drawn, the camera would spin 360 degrees rapidly. Every time. I don't get motion sickness from games, but this bug seriously disoriented me. There is no fix and they never patched it. The only workaround is to pull your sword out every time you enter/exit a place. Which causes problems in towns with guards.

I use keyboard and mouse when the game benefits from it, and a controller when it does not. But the lack of a functional d-pad makes the 360 controller a no go.
It's honestly not that difficult to get a PS3 controller working on a PC. It took me all of a minute to install the Xinput drivers, and in the course of a year, it's given me issues about 3 times (all of which were fixed by simply unplugging the controller and plugging it back in and/or turning off my PS3).
Honestly I just don't know how to set up a ps3 controller. Hearing all these problems Momo and the other person was having just makes me think it isn't worth the hassle.
Yeah, i figured a DS4 would be easier to set up.
We doing Speed today or you gonna back out again?

Probably the second best Metal Slug after 3. Haven't tried this version yet though.
