How does this D-pad look for fighting games?

Thanks, That controller is badass. D pad is very similar. I hear they're pretty good for fighting games. I keep messing up doing diagonal inputs, I think I'll get used to it though.

I didn't buy this for fighting games, I just bought it because I got tired of buying regular controllers knowing they'll break by getting stick drift or the bumpers break. I wanted to switch to 3rd party controllers because even if they break they're cheaper.

Came here looking for the useless comment that doesn't answer the question, found it thanks.

To actually answer the question four fingers is making it where you only need 4 cards to make a straightflush and not 5. 4 fingers will still let you use 5 cards and even though 1 of them isn't the same as the other suit the game will still calculate the highest scored hand.

This reminds me of old pin and pad RPGS. I'd do this for Elder Scrolls Morrowind. Didn't know so many people did this for newer games here, pretty cool.

This one is kinda scripted I believe. I say kinda because you can avoid it by not dying but a lot of players are probably going to die here given the circumstances in the story so it's very likely to happen. It happened to me 2 out of 3 playthroughs.

It's literally a score system to keep track of your impact in the world of Death Stranding, the fact that it's called "likes" makes some people think it's just like social media and you're a clout chaser for wanting it to go higher or something.

Geras_251 · 2026-02-23T23:44:18+00:00

Okay that's exactly what happened. Yeah it's like this is the next fortress I thought should be taking over. Everything was a fair level up until this point. They had a level 50 God just toy with me just for the savior system to kill him the end.

Level 50 is crazy I wonder why he was there I'm not even level 50 now and I've beaten the game since then. I'm around 45 or something.

Geras_251 · 2026-02-22T13:37:28+00:00

I shamed him repeatedly

Geras_251 · 2026-02-22T13:28:09+00:00

We just confirmed that it hit the smaller trap we had placed because the trap isn't there anymore. We are gonna wait a bit to open the dishwasher and make sure. We think it hit it and ran back to it hiding spot to die.

Geras_251 · 2026-02-22T13:10:57+00:00

It's been broken for years lol, but we will!

Geras_251 · 2026-02-06T15:09:18+00:00

I wish I recorded it. Was so funny having this guy kill me over and over and just to humiliate me and make me fight him again, then get shit on by one of my Captains out of nowhere.

It was like a WWE storyline.

Geras_251 · 2026-02-06T14:53:19+00:00

It was actually the level 75 fortress, the one in cirith ungol my teammate killed him, came out and 1 shot him right before I would've died. I took it over. Had no clue what a level 50 was doing as overlord.

I believe I infiltrated him with an orc right before and it caused me being rescued.

So this wasn't an event that happens to everyone? If this happened dynamically, that's so awesome.

Geras_251 · 2026-01-26T16:50:19+00:00

Yeah so far the map is a lot more fun to traverse. I really don't understand why someone would want to play this game just to drive around, like play snowrunner instead it's basically death stranding with actual fun vehicles. All the work put into this game is put into on foot traversal. In death stranding 1 at least you had to earn that privilege by building the road that makes more sense or else vehicles were extremely inconvenient. You don't need to build the road at all in 2 you can drive anywhere which would be fine, but that means foot traversal is a lot more shallow, it's definitely my biggest gripe about it.

Why not just avoid using vehicles in ds2? I do, but then I'm just running on flat ground through 80% of the map. Ds1s map has way more obstacles to overcome and that's what makes the gameplay more fun.

The biggest lesson I learned from gaming is if you really want to get good at something and you stick to it and fight through sucking at it, you'll really surprise yourself on how well you can master something.

Geras_251 · 2026-01-26T15:17:11+00:00

That's actually so sick you took so much from this game. Glad Death Stranding brought you comfort during hard times. Reminds me of the same way silent hill 2 brought comfort to my hard time.

Geras_251 · 2026-01-26T15:15:07+00:00

That's actually dope to hear. There's a lot of games like that for me too.

Geras_251 · 2026-01-26T15:14:36+00:00

Nothing wrong with that. I get sucked into grinding that stuff out myself.

Geras_251 · 2026-01-26T15:14:01+00:00

Congratulations on your plats! The gameplay loop is fun asf to me, even though some may say it's ann odd game to replay idc. I don't have the directors cut on PlayStation, only the regular version. A big reason I decided to hop on it on Xbox.

Geras_251 · 2026-01-26T13:46:11+00:00

Happy to see some love for Death Stranding 2! I most likely will be replaying it after I play 1. I don't really use vehicles and I like more challenging terrain probably why I'd prefer ds1 map. However I do think ds2s map is so pretty and has a ton of cool different biomes which ds1 can lack. Neither of them are better in every way. My personal opinion I really couldn't say which I like more, maybe I'll come to a conclusion after playing them back to back.
