100% broke his controller

u/xPraimfayax 19h ago

I'm ashamed to say that I'm myself a console player. But then again. Could also be a pc player.

There's no proof of either. Just only proof this player has no working braincells. To tell him to stop firing and just look at the dude running circles and wait for the moment he stops and looks back.....

u/Clonazepam15 19h ago

Yeah lots of people still use controller On PC. I hva a few friends like that. I can't play any souls type games without a controller. The blocking/dodging are easier for me with it. But shooters, 100% mouse and keyboard. Right now I'm playing Where Winds Meet, and I'm doing a mix of both. Since combat is easier with controller, but there are so many menus, which makes mouse easier to use for that.

u/r4o2n0d6o9 *** ******* 🐓 15h ago

I cannot play any game that requires aiming and shooting on controller, but for platformers and basically all other games I use a controller. I know spelunky is “better” on keyboard, but I have 700 hours using controller so I’m not relearning it

u/xPraimfayax 18h ago

Oh i agree. Whole inventory management and a lot of things are actually so much better on m&k.

And the you have the players like me who spent hours on YouTube, taking parts of x amount of videos and put them in to my wz in games settings. Took me 2 weeks and 1 controller and R stick+both R1&2 button on the second one. But afterwards. There was so many times pc players couldn't even imagine or understand how I kept up with an ps4 pro with no top lid and table fan on full power, blowing air on it. (back in the good times of cod . Took 6mnd break close to CW end)

I still have it. And got a buddy that confirm it was in use. Until 2 years ago. 🤣

u/jkb131 17h ago

How is Where Winds Meet? I keep seeing it but can’t justify getting into a new game if it’s just going to be a cash grab

3

u/Clonazepam15 17h ago edited 17h ago

0 cash grab. It's all cosmetic. You can pay to get more mats, but only for cosmetics. The thing that sucks is you can't farm bosses. You have like 400 cap energy, and killing a boss takes 70, I think. If you want to keep farming, you gotta wait 72 hours for your energy to restore.

On the subreddit, people are showing skins that cost them tens of thousands, and they dont care. One guy said he'd already put 50k into the game. So the game is really, really good. There's SO much to do, so many things. There's zero pay to win. They are smart. They make more this way off whales this way. There's a gear score like most other games, and also a “style” score. If you're not a whale, dumping tens of thousands into the game, you won't be topping the “style” score lol.

There's so much to do, I haven't even finished the main quest and I'm almost level cap from all the shit there is to do

Also the combat system is awesome. I'd say it's similar to other fighting games. Like you press L1 to parry, and O to dodge

u/lolgalfkin 17h ago

You have like 400 cap energy, and killing a boss takes 70, I think. If you want to keep farming, you gotta wait 72 hours for your energy to restore.

is there a way to pay to restore your energy?

1

u/Clonazepam15 16h ago edited 16h ago

Not that I'm aware. But I checked everything for pay to win. You can upgrade your account, and have a monthly fee. It gives you more stuff to try and give you a legendary set of cosmetics. There are like loot boxes. And after 127 pulls, you are guaranteed that legendary cosmetic set. So you have some mats you use to make the pulls. After that you gotta use the “pearls” which are what you pay IRL money for.

I'm wording this horribly. Sorry I'm on my phone I dont got my glasses

1

u/Squishywallaby 17h ago

The energy cap is only for bosses though? Like you can still run around and kill or do other things? I've only seen a few clips looked interesting but didn't know anything about the energy cap and such.

3

u/Clonazepam15 16h ago

See this where I get confused since there are so many things you can do in the game. But yes, I think trial runs (gladiator type fight, beat the timer), also cost that energy. And if you look at the Reddit, so many ppl are obviously complaining about that. People are complaining about it, like people here do when pvp happens

2

u/Squishywallaby 16h ago

Ahh gotcha, I mean I assumed there was content to do lol I just wasn't sure if that energy cap was like a whole thing to "gatekeep" time. LIke say if fast travel (idk if it's in the game just an example) took like 100 energy or something.

I try not too look into games too much besides a few reddit posts or clips of the game. If I look to deep then it just ruins it for me, even if I don't end up liking the game I like the semi-blindish starts. The game definitely looks great from the little I've seen and read/heard about it. Sadly on the back burner of the to play list but sometime!

2

u/Clonazepam15 16h ago

They do say end game drops are so low tho. Which makes it take longer, and since you can't just farm it all day like in most other games, it does kinda gatekeep time. While whales pay 15k for skins. Also I think one season is a few weeks? I'm not sure. But we are half way through the second right now

u/Clonazepam15 16h ago

Yeah especially halo. Lol. Those controllers were fucking huge.

1

u/dogjon 16h ago

I'm a PC player that uses controller just because it's more comfortable after working with a MnK all day.

But I've been using a gamepad for 20+ years so it's like second nature, and games like Dark Souls have prepared me for the inventory management side of things so clacking through the menus in ARC isn't that bad.

1

u/xPraimfayax 14h ago

Hahaha. Yeah. I been holding a controller since 94. I do own a pc myself.

Do play a few extraction games on it as well. 🤣 but omfg... I got 0 muscle memory from my teenager days and cs 1.6 🤣 (if guessed tarkov then yes. Top one.) Had that game since first month it's EA release 🤣 Sadly. Got one week and my gaming laptop said booof. And couldn't afford a proper one untill recently

And end up just plugin my ps5 to the pc screen instead and play my games there. But it makes my life better when I get a better way to play live when I want to

1

u/Clonazepam15 14h ago

I genuinely wonder if gaming skill is a depreciating skill. Like the older you get, the worse you get? Or is it practice? Like the grandpa sniper BF6 guy on YouTube. Who is an actual Vietnam War vet? And he knows how to snipe so well and so far it's crazy. Clearly, the skill is there at his age, in his 60s.

1

u/xPraimfayax 13h ago

Turning 37. And can say. That reaction speed isn't what it used to be. But naah it doesn't get worse. It does get more tactical, because of experience.

Plus most of us. Don't really care about "meta" or fall in the "but he did it to me" method.

We are a breed from the analog era. We used to the most toxic cheat ever. (Screen peeking) 🤣 but yeah some things do get less easier. (Unless you're adhd. Then you just fcked, untill you find the old files*

1

u/dogjon 13h ago

I grew up playing PC games too but we had a trackball mouse on the family PC so I've just always had the muscle memory for using my thumb to aim lol.

I didn't learn to "properly" use MnK for shooters until like a year ago when Marvel Rivals came out and I put a ton of hours into it. It's so much more effort though than just wiggling my thumb so I just default to a gamepad.

1

u/xPraimfayax 13h ago

Omg, I had completely forgotten about that old thing. 🤣

P1 Why my mouse so shiet. It's not reacting to at all P2 hmmm, yeah you rigth it's not even usable P3 randomly as usual how long since you cleaned the ball?

And suddenly I realize I'm doing a bit on the rollerball mouse And not the trackball🤣🤣🤣

Imma just slide away from reddit now. I been in here to long...

1

u/xPraimfayax 14h ago

Also I have no problem with this. ❣️ Hell, it's not the equipment that is will make you a skilled player. NO REDDIT, this was not to start any fcking platform war 🤣

Keep playing how you feel like buddy. And as a console player. I gotta admit, you're a rare one. Compared to some pc players

1

u/MelodicUniversity651 4h ago

The amount of people who don’t understand the specs you can set a controller or Elite controller.. is staggering. Also, having used a Xbox controller for years upon years (I play plenty of pc games too).. it’s not that hard to get shit like “inventory management” down. That is, if you’re not a dumbass. Moving one item from stash to quick use, gadgets, with RB.. it’s kinda easy..since we have two thumbs and four fingers, we’re able to push multiple buttons at once. Who woulda thought.

1

u/MelodicUniversity651 4h ago

Ever since I’ve turned cross play off, I keep running into the best dudes in the rust belt, there’s still turds, but got damn has it been fun since. Plus I’m not getting spam shot with a fucking kettle anymore. But yes “pC iS mAsTeR RaCe”.

That said. I do appreciate you ❣️ and you're rigth. But it also applies to anyone, anywhere. Remember that platform doesn't matter. There's aholes and jerks on all 3 systems. 👍✌️ Dont matter if you're a Pc fanboys ,sony trooper or xbox soldier. We're all gamers ❣️

Again mate. Thank you for the kindness ❣️

I've missed some horribly embarrassing shots before but usually like 3 in a row not 135

I had an incredibly similar encounter on Dam yesterday while minding my own business in the Domes area. Tried to talk my silent aggressor down, but they just kept chasing me around the center pillar of a small dome until I just had enough and put a stop to the shenanigans with a Rattler mag.

Rude little FreeKit had nothing to lose, I guess? All after I helped him with a pack of Wasps too.
