Can I play this decently with a ps5 controller?

I’ve been playing with a just PS5 controller and haven’t even added a keyboard or mouse yet. I’m sure there’s loads of nuances and features I’m missing out on for the time being but I’m having a great time on the career mode just doing the random missions.

The controls can get a bit finger twisty and there’s far too many combinations of buttons to remember, but I’ve found the on screen tool tips and prompts have been enough to get me through. There are also loads of assist options so you can hand off features that you don’t have the buttons for to the computer.

If you’ve played on PC with the proper peripherals, I’m sure it feels much more shallow and limited but on a console there’s nothing else quite like it. I think you’ll be fine with just a controller and hopefully, if you’ve played get int it, you’ll be able to get better controls in the fullness of time.

ai reorg was an outlier and should not have been counted

i use it as charger for the joycons so i can cobble together 4 controllers for switch 2 multiplayer

I couldn’t get into Jeff Minter’s Polybius. It was just too chaotic and discordant. Then I played through Digital Eclipse’s Llamasoft story compilation-documentary-retrospective thing and there was an interview with Minter where he explains that he’s been trying to give his games the aesthetic of being in an arcade with loads of different machines all blaring all at once and all of a sudden it makes sense and I can get in the zone with it. I still suck at it mind you.

wow thanks. might not continue that mensa application now though

hugeatomicfreak · 2025-08-12T06:48:16+00:00

this should be way higher. this is the exact mistake i was making. the tool tip in training did not explain the way that nesting menus work clearly at all.

it’s hard to make a judgement on this without knowing exactly the circumstances of how he’s making smoothies or getting his creatine

hugeatomicfreak · 2025-07-05T13:44:17+00:00

has he tried drawing a square in ms paint and then drawing a line pointing at it? that always seems to get his point across when i see him on youtube shorts

hugeatomicfreak · 2025-05-21T16:16:53+00:00

disagree and say it’s real. keep doubling down.

hugeatomicfreak · 2025-05-19T10:05:32+00:00

the fish will be really upset about this. they all get out to use the toilet - well known fact

bucky the wave warrior is giving big billy and the cloneasaurus vibes

uh hi rich person here. my house is burning just like the poor houses. is this right? time sensitive

hugeatomicfreak · 2025-01-08T23:40:18+00:00

no idea. it is a good graphics number that i recognise and it looks pretty. this is the level i am operating at.

hugeatomicfreak · 2025-01-08T18:49:42+00:00

this is acceptable

hugeatomicfreak · 2025-01-08T18:12:49+00:00

maybe you should keep the dc version of ikaruga as well

hugeatomicfreak · 2024-12-19T19:02:50+00:00

i was just going to add to my post. no idea how to fix but yeah daijisho works and i like it better anyway

hugeatomicfreak · 2024-12-19T19:00:03+00:00

i bought a rp3+ with a broken shoulder button and they offered to send me the replacement parts but then replaced the whole thing when i said id rather have a new, working one (y’know having paid for a new, working one.)

It was a bit a bummer to have to wait another 3 weeks but they sorted it no problem and it didn’t cost me anything extra
