There probably is some kind of fix for it, that would save you from having to buy another one.
But the PC Xbox360 controller is brilliant. When I bought a new laptop I decided to give some games a go, and that’s perfect. It’s so much more comfortable than a keyboard, and it’s compatible with all games that accept controllers - it’s made by Microsoft for Windows so game designers make it with that controller in mind when they’re designing their games that why when you sometimes have top change it to ‘controller’ on the menu screen it has a picture of the Xbox controller. Just plug it in and go.
Been playing Skyrim lately on my 360, my favorite RPG yet. Always been a fan of all the Bethesda rpg’s. Being able to become a werewolf is a pretty fun addition from just only a vampire like oblivion. And not to mention, killing dragons heh
SnuffSniffer, I only played on paper once with some older friends, but maybe could have or still could get into it. But I’ve liked some on the PS1, PS2, PSP, Gameboy Advance etc.
though captain this time around the vampire option is hugely disapointing and annoying. You don’t feel very vampire like. My things regen slower and my stats suck more barely (and not noticably) wow at night I’ve got better stealth? Nope feels more like being a night person who just prefers the dark cause they feel better then.
I took a break from Skyrim for a bit, and have been playing Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition. Great story, but I’ve had a hard time adjusting to the game mechanics. Four characters just doesn’t seem enough to form a well-rounded party, and the approval-disapproval system for party members is confusing. Yet despite the frustrations, it’s enjoyable enough to keep me coming back for more.
One RPG that I love is Etrian Odessey on the DS. It’s v v v old school, you have to draw your own maps and basically see if you can get to the bottom of the labyrinth. It is punishingly difficult and takes a lot of time to level up, but if you don’t mind grinding for literally days at a time, you’ll like it. You get out of this game what you put in, and when you have mapped a full level there is a real sense of achievement, a very niche market game but well worth it IMO.
dragon age combat is great. It’s kind of hard to figure out at first. Once you get the swing of it and get higher levels it’s easy to make several balanced parties. It’s just a little trickier.
@Mr.O it is well worth it if you like an 80’s style rpg, but like I say it is v v v difficult, as one reviewer on amazon said it’s like the game thinks, “well you haven’t died for couple of hours so now you will”. Somebody mentioned Chrono Trigger above. I started playing it last night for the 1st time ever, I didn’t get to bed till 7 this morning that’s how good I found it, bloody brilliant.
Stefan. Yeah, I love the old turn based games, with just enough strategy, not the ones played on a grid etc., not where you must use perfect timing to get a critical hit. So anything like that I’d probably try and like. Are you brutally punished for dying? Just curious… I believe I mentioned Chrono Cross/Chrono Trigger, I’ve got one or the other, and a few other PS1 games that I haven’t really gotten very far into yet, such as Legend of Dragoon… Some of them I might be willing to part with once finished, if there’s one you’ve been looking for let me know, maybe I’ll have an available copy.
Sounds good, Mr O. You’re not brutally punished for dying on Etrian Odessey, but you can only save your data in town or at a Geomagnetic Field point, (the 1st one is on the 6th floor, and believe me it takes 15hrs+ to get there and survive), so it is a bit limiting, but you can always use a warp wire if you get a bit low, to take you back to town and save. Like I say it’s a v v v niche market but if you liked 80’s RPG’s where you had to draw on graph paper it’ll be up your street. It is certainly a blast from the past, but at least you can draw your maps on the touch screen :-). I’ve also downloaded the sequels off of a certain legalish site and have yet to play them, but I believe they work on the same premise, so I’m looking forward to trying them.
