I just use the Series S/X 20th Anniversary controller. Never tried the elite controllers, so I don't know what I am missing out on.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread
Went from an old XBOX 360 wired controller to the official one that is usually on sale for 40$ or so. I'm close enough to the PC that I picked up the one with the USB C cable included and its been great for about a year and a half now.
Dualshocks cost too much and XBOX controllers just feel comfy to me.Comment

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread
You can try adjusting the deadzones of the sticks in DS4windows if you use that or maybe in Windows 10 itself.What controllers are you guys using? I been going strong with my ps4 Scuf for a couple years surprisingly but the stick drift is starting to get bad now.
I decided to try out the Razer Wolverine V2 as my main PC controller. I also got a Flydigi Apex 3 to use for tablets/phone mainly but it'll be a good travel controller for whatever I bring with me.
I picked up an xbox one controller with the wireless adapter despite not having an xbox. I love that it's just plug n play whereas I always had to fiddle with something to get the PS4/PS5 controller to work on PC.Comment

Have you guys heard of this brand of drives? Looking to get more space for PC gaming and thought those price points are hecka low for SSD drives of those sizes.EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.Comment

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread
If I couldnt get a Steam Deck right now, im assuming this would be a decent substitute?

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread
Pre-load vs. Day 1 install
What are people's thoughts?
I guess I have never really paid much attention to this, but a friend of mine told me that he isn't going to preload Starfield because it's always faster for him to just download a new game rather than to preload and wait for it to unpack/decrypt the files.
I did find some people corroborating comments on on a search, but far from definitive.
I do not recall any specific examples, but after thinking about it I do remember thinking that some games took extraordinarily long to "unpack" on release.Comment

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread
Since I lack the download bandwidth speed to actually play an average-sized game on day 1 after downloading it the same day, the choice is basically made for me. And while I do agree that the unpack process can take an unexpectedly long time sometimes, it's still nothing compared to the length of time it takes me to download something.Pre-load vs. Day 1 install

Steam preloads are still pretty uncommon though AFAIK - this issue doesn't come up very often for me there. It's more of a factor for me with console gaming.Last edited by bcruise; 08-30-2023, 11:24 AM.Comment
