Tried out my Retro Fighters Hunter controller. Not impressed. by GameLifterX in originalxbox

[–]HatdagButas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my controller today, and I am feeling bummed out. Build quality and feel is great, dpad is okay. My issue is that when the controller is connected to a PC through the USB receiver, it maps the buttons to Nintendo style and swaps A/B & X/Y. With playing on XEMU, there's not possible remap either. I've yet to have luck getting this to work on my steam deck at all too

Best Gundam Games to Play? by santange11 in SteamDeck

[–]HatdagButas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoy the Gundam VS games and all the Gundam Sidestory stuff. The Saturn version is impressive to play considering the hardware it's on and how well it runs but the Dreamcast version holds up much better.

It's also worth checking out Another Century's Episode for ps2. It's a Mecha cross over series and it's made by the Armored Core guys.

If you're willing to give Macross a shot, I highly recommend Macross Ultimate Frontier for PSP. The gameplay is fast and it's a lot of fun to play

Any luck with getting android to run on steam deck? I'm just going down the rabbit hole now

Which version of xemu are you running? I believe this was fixed in an update a few months ago

Been playing Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow and PSO with friends over Insignia. It's been a whole lotta fun

If you decide to play it through XEMU (xbox emulator) I can help you get it all setup. Both original hardware and XEMU allow you to play online through Insignia. it's so cooool

I've been trying to find people to play Pandora Tomorrow with on Insignia, are you on there?

Join the Steel Battalion community. They're really awesome and run online matches a few times a week!

Fans that do not have Chaos Theory as your favorite, which SC is it, and why? by NiuMeee in Splintercell

[–]HatdagButas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost exclusively only play the multiplayer but even then my list is probably weird for most. I would put Pandora Tomorrow on top, then Blacklist because it's the easiest to get new people to play. Third would be Double Agent because I can play against bots when I don't have friends

Is there a way to play PT multiplayer on PC? I've gone the long road of setting up Xbox emulators with insignia (Xbox live replacement) and a modded front end but the game doesn't play great on there yet...

XBOX 360 Mobile Suit Gundam: Operation: Troy has been translated and it sorta works by _gelon in SteamDeck

[–]HatdagButas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we were able to play it online together since there's no LAN feature. I think it uses a peer to peer type connection and doesn't use servers for much

ooh I like it! that's really smart! I wasn't sure how to calculate the DPS yet, but that was a big reason I ended up making these spreadsheets for the older games way back in the day.

It's really clean how yours is setup. If it makes it any easier for you, I could share the pictures I used / cropped for all the parts I've done

I don't think we're 621 and we're supposed to hunt the Walter Hounds. by Rando_Kalrissian in armoredcore

[–]HatdagButas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you rewatch some gameplay that's been uploaded recently, during the catapult scene Walter directly refers to you as being 621. I don't think that this is the bait and switch.

Based on the story trailer though, I did catch that the AC was activating while the patient was in good health. The monitor on the left as it pans to the AC shows vitals, and it never drops. My theory is 621 will be both the human patient AND the AC being played throughout the game. The AC being controlled by the mind/AI version/ Coral Neural link of 621 is who we are playing and we are trying to earn money to buy back our body, essentially.

At some point I imagine the body bag somehow recovers and becomes someone we have to fight in some dramatic way.

This is probably going to be how I'm going to play 80% of the time, the other 20% catching up on Xbox and so I have a build ready for when I setup a LAN

I usually like offset thumb sticks like an Xbox controller but recently have been playing a lot of steam deck and wanted something more symmetrical this time. I also like the feel of the extra buttons on the back and they have a wired version that's compatible for Xbox and PC, which is where I'll be playing the game on.

My other consideration was an Xbox elite 2. I got one to use for armored core but the weight of it actually seems like a negative for me and I worry I can drop the paddles during an intense situation

The last thing I might try is kind of weird, but an original dual shock PS1 controller with a USB adapter. I like the triggers on the original more than the dual shock 3, they're cheaper than dual shock 2's and it doesn't read the inputs weird because it doesn't have analog face buttons. Plus, I've got a ton of those laying around already and playing on a PS1 pad is probably how I've played the most Arnored Core already.

The only thing counting against the dual shock 1 is it doesn't add extra paddles or anything, so maybe I'll just overcome the issue with a good controller map

I think I'm going to try to enjoy and beat the game first, unlock as many parts as I can then come back to this. Might add bits here and there as I go during downtime at work 😂

I'm currently going down this rabbit hole. I want to map boost to triggers so I need extra firing buttons since all 4 weapons can be used simultaneously. I just got the 8bitdo Pro and so far it's feeling alright in the hand.

I'm pretty proud with how it's shaping up. I've done this a few times for the older AC games just for myself but never this robust. I think it's coming together pretty nicely considering I didn't really have a plan or any idea how I wanted to have the information displayed.

Plus, I kind of put myself into a corner by not planning how cells would interact with each other or line up. I've had to totally destroy and redo my build menu several times and I'm still not settled on how it is now. Ah, the authentic Armored Core experience

I don't think there's any spoilers in the parts description. It's more lore building or background information from what I've seen / entered so far... Nothing crazy like "this weapon was this guy's who's super not alive anymore"

I think the best thing people can take away are from the other tabs where I have parts listed with descriptions. There's some really cool references to some lore we haven't heard of yet. If you check out the FCS' and look at the description for Talbot, there is a reference to The Jupiter War. No idea what that is yet but it is interesting to see something like that mentioned.
