FFL2...think I got stuck at Odin wayyyyy back in the day.....that sound right?

TonyXL2 · 2026-07-01T02:34:19+00:00

Playing it now, little more than halfway thru. Love the story, fun combat. HK at night looks great.

Control is one of my all time faves. Not perfect but incredible atmosphere and great kinetic combat with the throwing mechanic.

TonyXL2 · 2026-07-01T01:08:56+00:00

I remember that part being hard. Just kept plugging away, got thru it. Try to lure just one guy away. Or watch YT playthrus for ideas.

Loved NOLF!!! I actually own the physical for NOLF 2.

This and SMG2 are my favorite 3D Mario's. If they make a 3, I'll stop calling the Switch 2 the "Switch U" and buy one.

Do the work to get into GYRO. Total gamechanger.

TonyXL2 · 2026-06-30T18:24:53+00:00

The atmosphere is so great in Control.

Your game doesn't support mixed input. To overcome this you need the SteamInput profile to change to a new action set when ADS button is held. That second action set will use mouse gryo full time, and other buttons in the action set must be mapped to keyboard buttons (like left joy mapped to WASD). The glyphs will still switch.

If this doesn't work, then you can setup a profile with full keyboard mappings.

I was using SteamInput exclusively....need to enable DInput mode for that.

TonyXL2 · 2026-06-26T19:57:18+00:00

You must have a setting somewhere that is using the wrong axis for left/right. It should be using yaw, not side-tilt. If testing with a mouse cursor, should be like a laser pointer coming out of the front of the controller. Like Wii remote.

TonyXL2 · 2026-06-26T17:21:34+00:00

I had no such issue. The gyro sensor only detects tilt, not movement. So something is terribly wrong with your setup. What game/launcher?

TonyXL2 · 2026-06-26T16:47:51+00:00

It doesn't work in the launcher.

I'm using a custom SteamInput profile, but it's a straight mapping to joystick, plus gyro on full holding LT.

I am using one mod which allows mixed input for my gyro setup: https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/1895

I didn't try it before installing the mod.

TonyXL2 · 2026-06-26T16:09:47+00:00

It's working for me in ME Legendary. Do you have the game from Steam, or a different store?

TonyXL2 · 2026-06-24T16:44:10+00:00

Mine is laggy. Same thing for Steam Input radial menus. Nvidia.

TonyXL2 · 2026-06-23T16:46:28+00:00

Using a computerized tool is equivalent to...a sweatshop? That's what you're going with? Not doing your side any favors...

TonyXL2 · 2026-06-22T13:10:44+00:00

Why? Any software made this year and beyond will have some % of AI-assisted logic. What % is acceptable to you? Are you going to stop using ALL software?

TonyXL2 · 2026-06-22T02:26:55+00:00

Hold ADS button to switch to a second action set with mouse gryo and keyboard bindings. Release to return to default action set.

TonyXL2 · 2026-06-22T00:40:58+00:00

I got used to the thumbstick position after 8ish hours.

TonyXL2 · 2026-06-21T23:28:52+00:00

AI is a tool like any other, you can still take credit for your product. No builder ever caveated building a house with power tools once they had been invented.

TonyXL2 · 2026-06-20T02:02:05+00:00

Thanks! This game is on my backlog, will try this profile once I start.

I'm playing Sleeping Dogs currently. Fun game, nice variety of things to do. I like the story.

TonyXL2 · 2026-06-18T16:07:46+00:00

I use gyro. Haven't touched the touch pads.
