You can play with them even if you use kbm. You don't have to restrict yourself to a controller :eek:

You both just need to have crossplay enabled.

If I use the controller though they won't have to play against KBM though isn't it?

Oh I see what you're saying. Yeah, controller only is an option on crossplay too.

AlmightyCushion · 05-02-2020 10:19pm

It's better than what Intel have been throwing out that's for sure and I know it's only 15W but Far Cry and AC: Odyssey at 720p, low setting at 30FPS isn't exactly great.

Check out Rocket Jump Ninja and/or Badseed Tech on YouTube for a starting point. And use https://gearsearch.gg/ to compare size/shapes of ones you might be familiar with. Mice preferences are too subjective really though.

Always used the ~500 Logitech but got a corsair ironwolf lately and it's nice.

Good for large hands, had a large arch to it and indented buttons. Only thing I miss is the scroll wheel from the 500s. But the

It really wouldn't. Playing the latest games at lowest possible settings 25-30fps is not what I would call any sort of a gaming laptop. You can get GTX1650 laptops for €700ish that would be 4 times faster. It's more a case of being able to run CSGO or Rocket League type stuff better than Intel, but still completely unsuitable for any level of moden casual gaming.

If I was looking for an Xbox controller to use with my PC, is this the one I should be looking at? Has a nice discount at the moment.

Very good price if so.

So I went ahead and ordered this anyway, on the 13th. Got an email on the 17th telling me the expected delivery date had been changed from mid-March to this week! Picked it up from Parcel Motel today, and it is indeed the Bluetooth model. Happy out.

Gone back up to £45 so you got a great deal.

MadYaker · 14-03-2020 12:27pm

Well, now seems like a pretty good time to get back into gaming since were probably looking at 2 months with not a whole lot for doing. I was considering doing a new build. I wonder what are the odds of supplies of that sort of "non-essential" stuff being disrupted?

Need a new controller after my Xbox pad has been acting up lately. Any decent cheap ones you can get in Argos (assuming it's open) or Amazon?

Runs really well for me at 1080p anyway (i5, gtx1070). Near 60fps throughout, and looks fantastic. There are some great tutorials on YouTube for it that i can link if needed.

Had to do that for the last shrine i was in. Ingenious use of the phones motion controls, but i'd rather not have to do that again.

Handy setup video for the latest version.
This guy puts out a setup and optimisation guide for each release.

If you have time you should go back and play some of the earlier Zeldas too.
Link to the past especially.

Astartes Part 5 is out:

If you're not familiar, it's a series of animated shorts in the Warhammer 40k universe made by one guy unaffiliated with Games Workshop.

The production quality is absolutely mindblowing. Incredible cinematography, possible the best sound design I've ever encountered in any form of media of any sort.

Watch the whole thing from start to finish. There's a playlist on his youtube channel.

No, GW never did that to the Astartes series. The guy behind this did have an issue with some scumbags managing to hijack his channel and trying to ransom it back to him about six months ago.

The channel went down because someone knicked it, but it was sorted out with Youtube, the creator got the channel back, and everything is well with the world.

There's a history of independent 40k content on Youtube, with Death of Hope, and Richard Boylan's Helsreach series, and GW seem to be ok with it.

They'd be mad to take issue with it. It's free advertising.

They've even given Boylan a job. He's making some content either for his own Space Marines series, or an anthology, or both.

Some gigantic IPs probably have more cause to clamp down on this kind of stuff, but at the moment, all it's doing is whetting the apetite for GW to get into the TV medium.

There's an Eisenhorn live action show coming as well. I haven't read the books, but apparently they're quite good. It's being made by the guy who did Phillip K Dick's The Man in the High Castle, which I haven't seen yet but is apparently quite good.
