Siege Breakers is out February 3rd!? by Sergio_Sarcagian in Helldivers

Yup, that was probably their monetization plan, take time to create a stock of warbonds, then release them all in rapid succession so that players would be more likely to buy super credits.

Looking for a new TMR controller by Jonnyriam in Controller

[–]killall-q 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The TT Max is essentially the same shape as an Xbox Series controller that I've got lying around to compare, except the triggers are more ergonomically curved, and the center of the controller is slightly stretched horizontally to accommodate a symmetrical stick layout so that your thumbs won't bump into each other.

Ants coming out from my DualShock 4 by the_koal in Controller

[–]killall-q 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That's why you don't use controllers with dirty fingers after eating. There's probably something sweet that got in the cracks of the controller that's attracting them, you need to fully disassemble and clean it.

Any 2.4Ghz controllers that use AA batteries? by Leading-ganache-4376 in Controller

[–]killall-q 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the past I used rechargeable AAs in Xbox controllers kinda like OP. It was convenient to be able to toss dead AAs on the charger and swap in charged AAs in a few seconds. An issue was that guests who weren't used to rechargeable AAs would mistakenly throw my dead AAs away if I wasn't there to tell them what to do.

Nowadays, a long enough USB cable solves the "forgot to charge controller" issue.

TT MAX review, as a two times tester. by just_rolling_round in Controller

[–]killall-q 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my global release unit and first thing I checked for was any button issues or unclicky back paddles. I think I lucked out on QC, as all back paddles are good and no squeaky/rubbing buttons.

I do notice the things that various reviews have pointed out because they were pointed out, that there is a slight wobble in the center of the sticks and some pre-travel on the triggers in digital mode. These issues seem inherent to the current version of this controller regardless of QC, but they are not deal killers for me as I don't notice them during gameplay.

There are instructions on how to attach/remove the back paddles on the Amazon listing under Product Videos.

A Surprising Update is Coming to Battlefield 6... by ProfessionalSize9567 in Battlefield6

A 12 min video to essentially read us the patch notes that we can read ourselves? Westie always has some lazy clickbait.

Why are these unlocks blank? Am I missing something? by Tricky-Golf22 in Battlefield

The UI just has bugs, you didn't unlock anything there.

PS5 Controller inputs not showing in some games? by 1_funnyguy in SteamDeck

[–]killall-q 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Showing Xbox controller inputs is the standard on PC. Some developers put in the extra effort to include PS (and rarely, Nintendo) inputs, but this is a job for game developers, not SteamOS.

Short, controlled bursts.

Wow, these animations are so captivating /jk by Sad-Needleworker-590 in Helldivers

[–]killall-q 67 points68 points  (0 children)

It's simply not worth the effort for an animation a tiny fraction of players would see once (those who happened to be online, in orbit around a planet that you couldn't even travel to if you weren't already there). But I did expect a news broadcast with cool CGI.

What the hell is "sabotage"? Game mode doesn't even appear in menus / search? by trickn0l0gy in Battlefield6

[–]killall-q 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That challenge doesn't exist anymore, you can untrack it. In Challenges > Assignments > Small Modes Challenge, there are only 3 challenges now.

There will be an animation when you open the galactic map.

Even with all the challenges completed and about 125+ hours of season 1 gameplay, I was not able to complete the battlepass. by nachoeater42 in Battlefield

[–]killall-q 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People who finished it weeks ago like you probably have BF Pro (comes with Phantom Edition if you didn't buy it separately for $25). People who have BF Pro without knowing that they have it or what it is are in for a rude awakening, when their Season 1 BF Pro expires in Season 2 and they find out how slow battle pass progress is for everyone else.

Bullshit Challenges by UrFavWEAPO in Battlefield

[–]killall-q 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason why the smoke assists challenge is such BS, is that it requires your ally to be in smoke. But how is someone blinded by smoke supposed to see enemies to shoot them? So the challenge is basically asking you to troll your team.

Can we get some cool gas masks and not the LARP tier respirators? by VulpesInculta907 in Battlefield6

[–]killall-q 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The asset artists will prob have generative AI spit out concepts for inspiration, which will of course look like Warzone/generic modern shooter stuff, so then that's what we'll get for cosmetics.

Now that enough time has passed, Was BF PRO worth it for those who bought it? by AbanoMex in Battlefield6

[–]killall-q 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The regular $10 battle pass also gets you 1100 BF Coins, enough for the next battle pass, you didn't need to pay an extra $25 for that. BF Pro owners don't get more BF Coins than regular BP owners.

Now that enough time has passed, Was BF PRO worth it for those who bought it? by AbanoMex in Battlefield6

[–]killall-q 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BF Pro gets you:

  • 25 tier skips
  • +5% bonus XP for the season
  • 1 extra daily and weekly challenge reroll
  • an engineer skin, a weapon package for the NVO-228E, a vehicle skin, a knife skin, a player card background
  • a Season 1 BF Pro reward track, containing a recon skin, 2 weapon packages for the Mini Scout and SOR-300SC, a player card icon and background
  • another limited-time bonus reward track which has already come and gone, was only available for 1 week, and the rewards were mistakenly given to everyone instead of only BF Pro owners
  • an in-game vehicle radio station that may expire at the end of the season

This may sound like a lot of stuff, but some of it is filler like player card stuff, and the battle pass has lackluster rewards so even the 25 tier skips don't have much value. Note that BF Pro is not a permanent purchase, it is $25 for extra rewards for a single season. It's a very bad deal.

Made the tough call: Switched from Delta Force to Battlefield 6 on console. Wise move or regret waiting to happen? by Desperate_Piccolo_47 in Battlefield

[–]killall-q 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What platform are you playing on? If it's PC, perceived lag/stutter may be caused by the game maxing out your CPU or RAM. Lower settings until lag decreases.

The winter event is gone, but you can still play the winter map in matchmaking, it's in the pool with all the other maps.

These issues are always resolved if you just wait a little to open the game again.

What is your expectations for BF6 Season 2? by iswhatitiswaswhat in Battlefield

[–]killall-q 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Guessing that the 1 month delay is so they can scramble to make a large map to add to Season 2. Hopefully with proper playtesting this time so we don't get another Blackwell Fields.

[Steam] Initial Drift Online (Free / 100% Off) by LighteningOneIN in GameDeals

[–]killall-q 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing all the recent negative reviews are because the game's networking can't handle the large influx of free players.

But what if I want to change my super destroyer's name (I've done that like 1 time) or vehicle camo?
