Biggest Surprise/Disappointment of this Generation for You?

Holy shit that's a good one Worgen.

Shame that Steam's own controller didn't hold up.

Yeah, it was a neat concept but so awkward to use. I even skipped it when they were getting rid of inventory and it was just $5. But they certainly seemed to learn for the Index controllers, although those are only vr.

It's great for people who are really into the saga franchise, like all 20 of them!

I just don't get SE decision, of all the playstation game they could have remastered they picked saga frontier?! For people who never played a saga game, I'd describe them as intentionally sabotaged game, they're full of obtuse game designs that seem to serve no other purposes than to be make the game bad. Like you know how great the exp/level system is? Well saga game don't have that, they just have random stats boost after combat with their own unexplained mechanism. Why? No reason. The frontier has a couple of interesting ideas, but without a complete overhaul of pretty much every system it's borderline unplayable. If anyone played the recent octopath traveller, I'd describe it as the worst part of that, saga game have multiple protagonist with their own storyline that play lip service with the idea of being connected.

I really don't get why they picked that, next they'll do final fantasy legend or something crazy like that.

I'll fight you

Yeah, you level up the stats you use. Use punch get swole, use sword get fast, use magic get smart. Use skills to learn other, better skills. Or if you're a robot, your stats are determined by the gear you've installed. Or if you're a monster, your stats are determined by what you eat. Much better than "your mage punched a monster and learned fireball"
And Final Fantasy Legend *is* a SaGa game.

About the DS4 touchpad, it’s funny that its best functions now are being used as a giant pause button or shortcut to photo mode. I’m wondering what uses it could’ve had that wouldn’t have been dismissed as gimmicky though. I think at best it’s been used for things like turning pages in a journal, or imitating a wiping function. The crime game Erica uses it completely to some cool and intuitive effect too.

Mouse style inventory management?

What’s also funny is it can be used as a keyboard cursor, but apparently not as one for the web browser (or so I’ve heard; I never use it).

PhoenixMGS posted an interesting video a while back about SixAxis being used as an actual aiming device for CS-Go, and it worked surprisingly well -



It’s baffling that between these two functions we’re still stuck with right stick for aiming, even on the DualSense. Maybe that will change, but oddly enough no one seems to be complaining.
