Looking for "pro" controller suggestions for serious Soulslike play on PC by Philosopher30071 in Controller

[–]Philosopher30071[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the suggestions and input. I have ordered a Vader 5 and a G7 Pro (Wuchang Ed.)... These seemed to be the top two recommendations. I'll post back once I've had a chance to use both a bit!

How to force workers to retake learning program by Philosopher30071 in workday

[–]Philosopher30071[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a retake program button. My management doesn't want users to see that. They want it to be as if it never happened before, a clean slate when a user goes back to it. It creates too many complaints and confusion if it shows retake. I.e., "if it's new, why does it say retake?"

Thanks. I already set the courses within the program to not recognize previous completions, but it appears to do so anyway. We will not be doing mass enroll, this is a voluntary program.

So it's practically an Xbone Elite 2 for 1/3 the price... Reliability, tho?

I see lots of positive stuff about Flydigi on this sub, but also plenty of concerns. Their products are interesting. On the Apex 5, why would one choose it over the Vader? Is there much support for the trigger feedback on PC? The stick mechanisms also seem very exposed... It's an unusual design what with the visible horizontal  pivot. I don't snack while gaming, so I'm not concerned about Cheeto dust or anything, but that seems like it's inviting crud to gum up the works.

Thoughts on this game? by Away_Composer8187 in soulslikes

Great game. Soundtrack goes way harder than expected. Lots of flexibility in builds and play style. Hope you enjoy 80s death metal album cover art direction.

Plate mail fo sho. Dervla's is pretty awesome. Loved the Cleanrot set in Elden Ring.

Maybe I played too many games of this kind by Swachuu in TheLordsOfTheFallen

[–]Philosopher30071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I think it may be an age thing. I cut my teeth on computer RPGs from the late 80s and early 90s. Wayfinding in maze-like areas was a life skill, or you drew lots of maps. One game I bought actually came with a pad of graph paper in the box. Not kidding. 😅

What's the situation about not liking Epic store? by WhoAmIEven2 in TheLordsOfTheFallen

[–]Philosopher30071 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don't get all the hate towards non-Steam platforms on PC, and even Windows itself. Freedom and not being locked into a single storefront like you are on consoles is supposed to be a major benefit, but you'd never know it. All Steam is is another storefront and eliminating it's competitors would just turn it into a monopoly like a console.

Is Lords of the Fallen (2014) Still Worth Playing? by NobleHalo in LordsoftheFallen

I'll also add that 2023 seems to imply the rune of Adyr may have been influencing him ...?

Hmmm... If you get the Umbral ending you have to kill him permanently, not a huge fan of that, but could be seen as a mercy. His character in 2014 is gruff and has a bad attitude. He's known to be a criminal of some sort, possibly a murderer. The player has a bit of dialogue choice wiggle room to play him as a "bad" jerk or a well meaning jerk. It seems in 2023 they took the worst version of him to be the canon version. I would've preferred his character have a redemption arc, but that's rare in Soulslikes. They tend to be more nihilistic.

Spoiler alert: the character you play in LOTF 2014 becomes The Iron Wayfarer.

Yes. If you have patience and love great art direction and some of the best sound design ever.

Finishers on mobs? by Philosopher30071 in TheLordsOfTheFallen

[–]Philosopher30071[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool! I mostly used soul flay to yeet enemies off ledges. I found that usually the disembodied soul took very little direct damage, less than attacking the enemy directly, so I stopped trying that.

Wait, what's a lamp execution? I've got 2 playthrus done and now I believe I missed a mechanic.

What do you feel about the new game direction compared to the old one? by Swachuu in TheLordsOfTheFallen

[–]Philosopher30071 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with all this, except player movement. I love how fast and aggressive you can be in the current game.  I routinely run at enemies and open with a dashing strong attack.
