Dreadhead Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 Bought a key through a 3rd part website and will start the download when I get home. I'll see if I can get my footing or not 2

TMoney Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 This is an interesting analysis of the TF2 netcode. It is long, but worth a watch. Â
Dreadhead Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 I am all set on the game and started playing with the Xbox controller (from my Rift) but Brent says that I need to be more of a pc purist.... If the barrier to entry is that much play it may be some time before I'm in as most free time is going to exercise and learning piano.

If the barrier to entry is that much play it may be some time before I'm in as most free time is going to exercise and learning piano. Exercise and piano are dumb for old people. If you didn't learn before you were 50 it's not going to happen.Conversely, just use the controller if you're comfortable with it. You'll be fine. I know you don't have a good K/M setup where you're playing.**BRENT**Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
catscratch Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 Learning mouse aiming can be problematic for people that didn't grow up in the PC shooter era. If you're only going to play casually, then controllers are fine. If you intend to play competitively then you'll have to learn to aim with a mouse eventually, but it is a lot of work. On a controller, ergonomics are fixed and how to aim is more or less obvious. On a KB+M setup the ergonomics are up to you, and there are many different ways to aim, or even hold the mouse, so the situation's way more complicated. I'll echo the advice to use whatever you feel comfortable with, and if you start getting into the game enough to feel like you want to invest actual time into it, then learn to use a mouse. I've posted some resources to that end before, but I can relink stuff like this (not entirely accurate but gets the point across) or this or this. FPS games do take a lot of execution unfortunately, and learning it is not so much a function of age as a matter of effort and time, and not having said time when you're older.
TMoney Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 Boy did we ever get spanked last night by a bunch of 13-year olds. They even talked trash to us in the chat. My ego hurts. 1

Dreadhead Posted January 29, 2017 Report Posted January 29, 2017 I have not had time to play beyond starting the training thing to make sure the game works with the controller. I have had the kids in the evening every day this week and been so burned out I just went to bed. I'm at the lake this weekend and don't have any access to the gaming pc. 1
TMoney Posted February 24, 2017 Report Posted February 24, 2017 Ghost Recon: Wildlands is having a free open beta this weekend and I think Brent and I are going to check it out. It is 4-player co-op so if anyone wants to join in go ahead and give it a download. Steam Link (scroll down and click "open beta"):Â http://store.steampowered.com/app/460930/ 1
VPI Posted February 25, 2017 Report Posted February 25, 2017 I can't remember, is Ghost Recon the stupid one that you have to sneak around and not kill people? Â I prefer to not sneak around and kill everything that moves. 2
Grahame Posted February 25, 2017 Report Posted February 25, 2017 In that case, Jeff, you'd be fine with Killing Floor 2 and Titanfall 2. That approach can also be applied to Project CARS 2
VPI Posted February 25, 2017 Report Posted February 25, 2017 Yeah, I have KF2 and have seen you play PCs. I was thinking of Metal Gear Solid which drives me crazy with all the sneaking bullshit.
MexicanDragon Posted February 25, 2017 Report Posted February 25, 2017 Jeff, find a game you like and will play with us and I will buy it.**BRENT**Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
TMoney Posted February 27, 2017 Report Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) Grahame just successfully landed a plane in the water that was not a sea plane. Right after we planned and executed a meticulous assault on an enemy base that involved mini-gun towers, rebel mortar strikes, and one pesky electrical generator... Which was right after Grahame and I shot down a bunch of helicopters with a tank... Which was right after Brent got his drivers license revoked for killing too many civilians/trees with his "creative driving." -- Yeah, that was awesome! I will almost certainly be getting the full GR:W game at release. Edited February 27, 2017 by TMoney 3
TMoney Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 Had a surprising amount of fun going to the nVidia GDC event with Grahame. The projector they were using in-house was the single best picture quality I've ever seen on any screen, ever. My guess for it is 8k HDR 60hz. The on-screen demos were absolutely stunning. We got to play on one of the demo rigs afterwards, but all they had was some fighting game we were unfamiliar with. 3
Hopstretch Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 In for a 100" 8K HDR 60Hz display. Send the bill to Jeff please. 4
