BF2S Forums The "All Other Games" Chat Thread

Space Marine, an over-the-shoulder worked really well with a controller, but high levels of online play were pretty much mouse/keyboard. Twitch shots with lascannons, fine mid-air control and combat with the assault jump packs, etc. Melee is about the only time gamepads offered a greater degree of control (thumbstick vs 8-directional).


@rthicki ahh, makes sense

I bought a knockoff Xbox controller to play RDR2 for all those reasons, so now I'm aim-assisted scum, I guess. I never played GTA V, but coming from Rockstar, where I had last played GTA on consoles, it felt right. A lot of 3rd person things feel that way to me that they want a controller e.g. Assassin's Creed, Shadow of War. They do get a lot of work out of button combinations in the game, though.

mouse vs controller on red dead is a tricky one. free aim when on horseback or hunting for example is actually really demanding and you have to be precise. bullet time or whatever it’s called (i haven’t played that much) is however laughably easy. so long as you have enough juice before any encounter it’s basically a point and click adventure game. anyone who can’t just line up 6-7 headshots and wipe out a gang of bounty hunters at once  must be retarded.

ah yeah, dead eye, that’s it. yeah it’s literally just slow mo take-yer-pick with mouse. i never played fallout but it resembles that aiming system.

Both windows and steam have had borkiness in the past few days.

GW legal would like you to use the term Aeldari

GW can go fuck themselves with stupid copyrighted names with faux latin because they get pissy that certain names get used non-40k stuff. I will call Imperial Guard, Imperial Guard and Eldar, Eldar.

Its like George Lucas getting pissy with the usage of "Droids" outside of Star Wars, only he was succesful in trademarking Droids while GW had to resort to trademarking some made-up BS name

Please further explain the Imperial Guard controversy. When I think of Imperial Guard I think of Napoleon.

I checked their website and they are still using Space Marine etc. I guess they needed a trademark name just in case.

Some Warhammer 40k factions have simple names like Space Marines, Eldar, Imperial Guard, Chaos Space Marines.
GW tried to trademark these and failed so they made up faux latin names for them and only use those now afaik.  Eldar are Aeldari, Space Marines are Adeptus Astartes, Imperial Guard are Astra Militarum.

afaik both names are still canon though.

What faction would I be?

You'd probably be a worshipper of the perverted space elf god.

Tell me how I can get into this.

I looked up the different factions and don't really see any that represents lazy stoners. Besides, that whole God Emperor meme/identity thing is sacrilegious.

Yea but their god is real so alien genocide is cool

Best faction name is Drukhari. Whose Line Is It Anyway? was great

It did all start as a joke so.
He blew up churches to stomp out religion while wearing big gold armor, being immortal, and having plenty of godlike powers
The first son to rebel did so because he was smacked for writing a book saying emperor was god. Book then became the basis of the godemp religion after godemp got smacked by one of his other sons so hard he got put on life support for 10k years

Um seems like a lot of projection onto gaming figures. Nevermind.

Which reminds me, I should buy a D+D set and dig out my figures, for the nostalgia. Fuck knows what happened to my original rulebooks, I'm sure they're worth a fortune.

I wasn't really planning to meet up with actual people.
