The gameplay is braindead just like most mobas and is not anything like TF2. Its smite with guns.

10 years? Oo

Aloomineum , in 10 Years Ago, Hideo Kojima's P.T. Scared the Hell Out of Us on PS4

We were robbed of a potential masterpiece of horror media.

I eat horror for breakfast, it’s one of my favourite genres. Games, movies, novels, comics, you name it. Playing P.T. for the first time was the most unsettling, paranoid, anxiety inducing experience I have ever had in the genre. And the almost hysterical community at the time trying to piece together this demented puzzle was an extra layer of mystery and madness.

Ultimately we don’t know what the finished product would have been like, but I have a hard time imagining anything else but a master class in horror.

Kojimas new horror game OD will likely be good, I’m sure. But you can only do a game like P.T. once, and that boat has sailed.

chloyster OP ,

Same boat here 😔. I can still remember when I first heard it was officially cancelled. I’ve never been more devastated by any media being cancelled than this

Aloomineum ,

It really was so sad when they cancelled it. It also sucked when Konami removed it from the Playstation store. Every few months I’ll be sitting around doing something unrelated when my brain is like “member P.T.?” ah… At least we got to experience this playable teaser before it was all canned.

Now starring the cast of the movie?

jagermo ,

Its a tie in!

“So what you’re saying is: You like what my friends and I do with our Borderlands video games even more than you like what some of the biggest and best cast and crew of film makers on the planet have done,” he wrote. “I’m super flattered! We’re working extra hard four you on what’s next….”

…what? Lmao.

Having the best crew doesn’t matter if you’re trying to race the Daytona 500 with a box car with a monkey that was only trained to turn right and to have an actress in her late 50s play a character in her early 20s.

theangriestbird OP ,

wasn’t Randy responsible for the “box car” part?

Midnitte ,

You’d think he would have discussed it when he was negotiating.

But, I can’t help but include this hilariousness. https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/502f42e5-cc63-4ad2-a580-cad9c35d67f3.webp

AceFuzzLord , in What's your favourite and/or least favourite gaming hardware?

Least favorite has to be a tie between switch joycons in general and the circle pad on 3DS.

Joycons on their own are too small to be all too comfortable disconnected and connected they’re slightly better since I can position part of my hand on the back of the switch, so there’s at least that.

And with the 3DS circle pad, it’s just nowhere near sensitive enough. Movements feel too quick, with little to no control over how far the pad move, in my opinion.

As for favorite, I’ll say that in general I absolutely hate track pads and everything they stand for, but steam deck is the only exception. With most track pads I’ve used recently outside of the steam deck, I have trouble clicking since the mouse buttons are built into the track pad and half of the time feel like they don’t work. Though with the deck I find it real easy to just click pretty much anywhere on pad and it’ll click for me.

Only problem I’ve had with deck pads is that sometimes the click is a bit too sensitive for me, so I’ll sometimes accidentally click while on the onscreen keyboard by accident or click while playing a game like Gemcraft, making me deselect a gem or power up while dragging over.

sleepybisexual OP ,

The 3ds analog is good. Comfiest stick ever.

AceFuzzLord ,

To each their own. I got a used 3DS less than a year ago, so maybe that’s why I find the analog bad. Wear and tear.

confusedbytheBasics , in What's your favourite and/or least favourite gaming hardware?
  • SNES was the ultimate From childhood until the release of Nintendo 64
  • In high school it was a PC with a mouse and keyboard.
  • Now it’s a PC with an xbox controller. Using a mouse and keyboard reminds me too much of work.

There is a PS5, a Switch, and a Steamdeck, in the house plus several more devices in the garage. I’ll watch other people play but gaming on dedicated hardware just doesn’t grab me. I’ve never tried gaming on a phone.

sleepybisexual OP ,

Yea, SNES is good, one of my favourite systems. Phone gaming is bad (shitty practices)

knokelmaat , in What's your favourite and/or least favourite gaming hardware?

My favorite is honestly my PS5. The load times are fantastic and I love the feel of the controller and the rumble / adaptive triggers. I also fucking loved my PS Vita, to bad it had such a mediocre run games wise.

Worst is pretty harsh, as I have loved all my consoles. But there’s no denying that the PSP was a bit garbage with its single analog stick (which was also very hard to use).

sleepybisexual OP ,

Yea, single stick devices piss me off. I don’t really get the PlayStation hype nowadays. Isn’t it just a gaming PC?

monsterpiece42 ,

Yeah basically a kneecaped PC with horrible data policy. Example, if you have a game with a 3rd party save/account like a lot of games do, Sony owns it and you can not migrate it to other platforms. I bought my nephew a gaming PC and he lost about 2000hrs of progress in Apex because Sony owns his account.

I’m not even a snob against consoles, just Sony sucks balls these days. I’d go with an Xbox but by then you’re basically buying a PC… Although you can prob get a cheaper price on an Xbox especially if you’re not building your own machine.

AVincentInSpace , in What's your favourite and/or least favourite gaming hardware?

Is that 3DS jailbroken? If not, you totally should.

sleepybisexual OP ,

It is, but I don’t really play much on it

averyminya ,

After you jailbreak it, you can! Lol.

Also, I’ve heard that PSP nubs fit perfectly in replacing the C-stick on the 3DS. May be worth looking into!

Oh yeah, they made a third one, didn't they?

averyminya , in We played Valve’s secret new shooter: Deadlock

I got in today, got to play a few matches. It was pretty fun, I’m not huge on MOBA’s but I’m not entirely against them. I liked games like Sanctum and Sanctum 2 (this isn’t really like those, since those are tower defenses) but it’s got the same vibe going. Turning a familiar genre and adapting it into a different perspective. The characters I’ve played have been interesting, I haven’t loved them all but it seems like a decently well rounded cast. There’s some really good gameplay moments in there though with some of the character abilities. Playing slow and methodically has been working out well for me.

Interested to see what will change. It’s a bit chaotic right now, in some good ways and in some difficult to see ways. I have noticed a couple of the same characters in every game, can’t tell if it’s out of interest or if people knowing they are very strong. I like it though so far, it’s pretty easy to get the opponent tilted if in a single lane. Steal their soul points, push them with damage just enough to annoy them, punish when they start making mistakes

Their definition of “secret” seems very different from mine.
