A man of culture.
Steven Spielberg being based as fuck, as per usual
A man of culture.
Unpopular opinion, this is the only work of Spielberg’s that I like. I can’t stand his movies.
I find it very difficult to believe that you don’t like a single Spielberg movie, just on a quantity level. He’s made so many at this point, at least one must tickle your fancy.
It’s a good input system even better if your mouse has side buttons, the problem is lazy, often japanese devs, ports, I remember Nioh 1.0 having no mouse support at all, you had to use keyboard buttons to rotate the camera, it arrived later with a few updates.
I had bought Dark Souls 3 on PS4 but I suck at controllers and couldn’t play it. So I rebought it on PC, I was just the same but worse on a keyboard.
Steven Spielberg was the producer on Boom Blox for the Wii.
If your analog control requires your entire hand, it’s interesting.
If your analog control requires several pointing fingers, it’s interesting.
If your analog control requires your thumbs, it’s shit.
Now get the fuck out of my office!
There used to be stories (not sure how many were true) of him going to events like E3, Tokyo Game Show, Gamescom, and other developer-centric game conventions.
He also was a key figure / contributor in some old school PC adventure games like Indiana Jones from waaaaay back in the day.
This is one of like 5 celebrities I would vote for if running for president.
I used to be kbm exclusive but there have been some pretty good controller improvements made over the years, things like hotkey layers in Skyrim UI mods or the final fantasy MMO giving dozens of unique hotkeys on a controller, and new hardware with back buttons and shoulder buttons that keep both thumbs on the thumbsticks. Can’t beat mouse for precision, but there are tradeoffs for that.
Mouse for aim, wii nunchuck for movement.
I like playing shooter’s with m&k, str games too. I know for example in Apex, lot’s of pro players une a controller.
But 3rd person games feel somehow much better with a controller. I’m not sure how uncharted, or HZD would play on Mouse and Keyboard.
Steam Controller and Steam Deck converted me to controller. Trackpads and touch activated gyroscope are complete game changers. I still can’t play first person games with a thumbstick though.
Yeah my steam input configs are crazy
I have a whole system for desktop navigation which I’ve grown to really like
I’ve recently taken to using touchpad touch as a button chord modifier and it is soo nice.
How come Steven Spielberg hasn’t done a video game movie? I envision a heartwarming tale of a young boy befriending a Strogg from Quake by giving it Reece’s Pieces.
is this sarcasm? lol he did Ready Player One. the ultimate video game movie!
It was a terrible movie, and the book wasn’t much better.
Also one of the worst
I mean… It’s about video games, kinda. But I wouldn’t call it a video game movie considering it’s based on a book not a video game lol
I mean like why hasn’t he done something like Borderlands? Surely he would have done a better job than Eli Roth even with a bad script.
He knows he can’t top the master, Uwe Boll
I was shocked to find his highest rated movie was Postal. Maybe not that shocked, since it’s actually kinda good. At least, strictly as a comedy; didn’t follow the game at all. But it’s not like the game has a real story, either lol
