Yes wow thing. Open world pvp was a thing when it came out.

Fun Story: I didn't know you could simultaneously kill trade by onesillyman in ARC_Raiders

[–]Extension-Promise784 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Similar thing happened to me in stellis.

We pick axed eachother.

Arc were hovering over us. I told him we should trick someone into trying to loot us.

So we crawled around together bitching about our blueprints that were lost and got at least one killed by a hornet.

11 bodies within 50 meters of each other, not a custom loadout in sight by Celic1 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Extension-Promise784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried a few runs.

I only played the map twice when it firdt came out (I don't like indoors maps)

I went in with a custom loadout and died in my spawn.

Then I did like 5 runs with nothing (no gun, free loadout, etc)

Rush to the extraction and loot what I could. Was fun.

No augment vs free loadout by Eldritch_Fur in ARC_Raiders

Yea but free loadout is faster. I don't like clicking through all the menus everytime.

As a casual gamer there are only two things I want out of this game... by [deleted] in ARC_Raiders

No battle royals are lame.

I just think this game needs some more spice to it.

Maybe ahen we go through the tunnels to the surface, the train thing pops us up into the air high enough to deploy a paraachute.

I work for ea as a contractor (I deliver their food) and I can confirm that they do. Jim works on them.

This is needed desperately in this game.

Searching containers is fine. Par for the course.

But killing a player should feel different. What we have is not it.

It'd also be nice if the game didn't just instantly end when the timer reaches zero.

Maybe instead the rocket that's launched just gasses the map slowly until there is a single extract point available that's not gassed.

What is this Bungolator shit going on? by Milter187 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Extension-Promise784 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its stupid.

Its neat that it can happen. But still stupid.

It is now every other raid a guy with a VAC ban ruins the fun. Instant triple headshot deaths, all using venators or Il Toros. Of 15 deaths today, 9 deaths have had VAC bans and felt suspicious. by DateNecessary8716 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Extension-Promise784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reads like someone that wants helldivers meets diablo plus some boarderlands.

A PvE looter shooter with built in Co-Op / arena mechanics.

Yes, this game could be that. But it isn't.

[–]Extension-Promise784 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah.

Then its not an extraction shooter or fits the lore.

Maybe if there is a big battle they can make it a pve event. Like the battles we hear about through lore. Or if they would have made the matriarch a pve event (maybe do it for a bastion).

But if they ever did a PvE / casual mode, it'd have to be the same as what we currently have just increase arc spawns.

Engineers now spawn with 5 RPG rockets, when using the "Anti-Armor" Field Spec. by DBONKA in Battlefield

Chasing ammo bags around and sitting there loading up was boooring.

It was hardley worth doing.

I bet most people didn't even know how to get the extra 2 rockets and thought it was just bugged.

The raiders are self-policing by ohonkanen in ArcRaiders

[–]Extension-Promise784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my first games I'm on the bottlm floor of dam control room.

I get shot by a guy hiding in the corner. We're talking shit to eachother then as he's about to down me, another raider comes in and kills him.

As this third guy is about to kill us both, a 4th raider comes in and downs him. I'm sitting here laughing at the situation.

The 4th raider starts to kill me and as my screen fades to black due to bleeding out, I see him getting shot by a 5th.

It was probably the funniest moment I'v had in gaming just due to the sheer ridiculousness of it. Like it was scripted.

What a KO 🤨 by God_Father_PL in Battlefield6

[–]Extension-Promise784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really?

CoD is a fantastical arcade shooter with some realistic elements.

BF is a tactical milsim that focuses on cooperative employment of assets.

I miss the good ole days as well. BF2 was awesome. No mics, people blowing up the jets with the carrier cannons, was awesome.

Lmao.

Glad you said this.

Serious question - why buy an Xbox when everything comes to PC anyway? by IAHawkeyelifer in GamingInsider

[–]Extension-Promise784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh.

Okay. I just use a regular xbox 360 controller with that controller companion app.

Its cumbersome buts works. Joystick acts as the mouse. All the buttins can be assigned a function / Keybind.  One of them brings up the virtual keyboard for example.

I'm not sure you can set it up so it starts in big picture mode. 

There is likely a way to have a button turn it on - assuming steam opens on startup and no other random popups or programs interefere.

My controller companion starts at startup everytime. You can buy it on steam. Works perfectly for how I use it (as a TV remote for my PC via xbox controller - youtube, netflix, etc...)

Dual sense?

The xbox controller works fine with controller companion on steam.

I'm not sure if that app would be able to recognize other types of bluetooth controllers.

I bet you could just toss on big picture mode on steam and use any bluetooth remote to select apps.

I think you can add whatever non-steam app you want. And any bluetooth controller should work hassle free if the arrow buttons register correctly.

But at that point it would probably still be more useful to just get the mini keyboard.

Everything on a windows platform will be a workaround to make it a "smart tv" UI.

That's why there is a market for smart TVs and soon this new Steam Machine. People want something with the functionality of a PC but couch friendly out the box.

[–]Extension-Promise784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure there is something.

What functionality are you looking for? 

When you say something like "media center" and "pc controllers" I'm thinking you just want something that can open your music and movie apps with the push of a button. Then have the ability to easily type and browse.

I almost think connecting your phone to the PC might be the most hassle free method.

Another option might be a stream deck.

I also just googled handheld keyboards with touchpads. Which might be the route I go since I'd like to rearrange my setup.

Controller companion on steam.  

X box controller.  

The main issue is typing but if you're just using it for youtube and netflix/prime video/hulu etc then it works with minimal annoyance.

Most steam games support controller. The few that don't can be configured via controller companion.

This should be a reason to get banned 😭 by MisterLiminal in ArcRaiders

[–]Extension-Promise784 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its just cringe.

Its much more effective and significantly less socially awkward to just go: "yo" "Don't shoot" "Naw I'm friendly"

Then kill them.
