So if Valve is announcing a controller today, do people expect it to have any special features that separates it from the standard controller?

It may or may not be a phallic symbol.

Oh wait, that won't separate it from competitors.

 

[Kuroyume]

There really should be a way to delete coupons.

 

[Tenrius]

There really should be a way to delete coupons.

There is Trashbot.

 

[MRORANGE]

Steam: "You have 20 new items in the your inventory!"

Me: "Oh wow, I wonder what it could...OH MY GOD, WTF????"

DIAF Train Simulator 2013.

Oh god, just checked mine, got 10 coupons.

 

[Kuroyume]

There is Trashbot.

Ah, great. Too bad I have to wait a few more day since I took steamguard off. Btw, those of you thinking about taking steamguard off don't do it. Valve lied about the penalty.

There's a patent floating around that details a system of interchangeable components that would allow you to customize the position of analog sticks, buttons, and even accommodate more specialized pieces like a track ball.

I hope we see something to that effect.

I'd personally love for it to be a split controller design, but I've never heard people at Valve espouse its benefits or anything.

 

[keenest]

I'm used to playing MS Pac-man on MAME for many years now using the arrow keys on my keyboard. So doing the same for PAC-MAN™ Championship Edition DX+ is like second nature to me. I can much better control pac-man than I could possible do with the Xbox 360 controller.

The game is as excellent as ever.

Is Groupees down for anyone else? I keep getting this message but it's been well over an hour:

We are sorry to be closed for emergency maintenance. We estimate that we will be back online within next hour. Apologies for your any inconvenience

I am getting the same message when I launch the webpage.

 

[maty]

your other 55 games won through modbot can comfort you in this difficult time bro

I was going to say the same thing. Does he ever buy games or bundles at least? I know SteamGAF is generous but come on.

If you check his steam profile, he doesn't even play. The most played game is SS2 with 3.5 hours, probably idling for cards.

 

[Stallion Free]

So long as there are no lightsabers or glowing dildos, Valve can design the controller however they want and I'll buy it.

 

[nexen]

I solemnly promise not to meltdown ... today.

Valve could give me an exact copy of the Jaguar 64 controller and I will buy it.

Jaguar had the most godawful controllers.
Like a Genesis and an Intellivision's mutated offspring.
What is the one on the right? A prototype?

It's perfect for my Sony method of holding a controller.

You can always use Modbot to block people who you feel are abusing the system, either use BLOCK or BLACKLIST with their username.


I think the best rules to use with Modbot are:

NOLURKERS
NOWINNERSDAILY or NOWINNERSWEEKLY
SHORTRAFFLE or RAFFLE

oh and forgot GIVERSONLY

Too many people sadly forget to use extra rules.

Bundle in a box is having a happy hour, base price is down to 99cents.

A few hours now.

Is that a white Jag controller? Actually, hold up - is that SIX face buttons I see? Did Atari even make those? :O

A stats page for Modbot on givers/takers would be quite interesting.

Yes, I already do, especially with people who abuse the modbot giveaways.

That'd be great actually. You'll probably find that it's always the same people giving away stuff.

 

[woo and indeed hoo]

it's gonna be weird if valve releases a controller cause the xbox pad's already standard

what if it's better

what happens to my standardized button prompts

huh I just got like 40 coupons for various train games/dlc :-/

 

[Turfster]

Yep. Sadly, Stump didn't seem too keen on it.
(We want to use these torches and pitchforks, dammit!
Ah well, I keep my own tally and try to go for parity, with giveaways currently in a comfortable lead.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Stump mentioned something about that a while ago. Something about not wanting to public shame people i think?

Agreed, would be interesting to see.

Good thing I am mostly controller agnostic. Worst comes to worst I'll just stick with my wired 360 pad.
Except for that Jaguar one. Thing is an abomination.

 

[Maxwood]

I'm never gonna get rid of these Origin codes, am I?

 

[TheSeks]

Hohoho. Dead Space 2 CD-key can be redeemed on Origin.

DS1-3 on Origin and DS1-2 on Steam. Thanks for saving me $5, Valve.

 

[JaseC]

It's not that I forget but rather I haven't given away a single uncommon gift since the additional rules were made available -- they've all been bundle throwaways and so I don't think it's necessary to be overly restrictive.

Is this true fellow GAFfer? If it is.. :/

---

Either way, I can't express how tired I am today, not even Coffee can save me, yet I had to squeeze some time to check what is being announced today with my good GAFfers. I also need to get back to my Dead Space playthrough but that can wait for now.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Post openly in the Origin thread....that's what I did with mine. Taken or not, at least you don't have to worry about them anymore

 

[morningbus]

From The Video Game Critic:

Controllers: D. For a console released in 1993, a controller with only three buttons is unacceptable. And why are they ordered C-B-A?? By the time Atari got a clue and released an eight-button replacement (complete with shoulder buttons), it was too late. And while Atari's controllers sported a complete numeric keypad, it took up a hell of a lot of room, and few games took advantage of it.

[Copons]

Ok.
I have 1h45m to:
- fully uninstall MotionInJoy and fresh install SCP DS3 Drivers (because I don't want shit fucking up my playtime anymore);
- finalize Dark Souls installation;
- handle GFWL in some ways I don't know;
- install DSFix and other stuff;
- play the hell out of Dark Souls;
- be back here for the big announcement.

WILL I BE ABLE TO DO ALL THIS STUFF?

What's your problem??? many of those "bundle games" were givenaway to friends who cant buy games, I live in Venezuela where exist an iron control over the dollar exchange, only allow us to spend $ 400 annually on digital purchases ... And if I played little lately is because I have work to do, when I get vacation'll have more time to play ... Dont judge me without knowing me ...

From The Video Game Critic:

Huh. I don't remember having less than six buttons on my Jag controller. Sold the whole thing a long time ago so maybe I'm wrong.

 

[MadOdorMachine]

Is there a reason my entire Steam library would have to be re-installed? I just logged in for the first time today in about a month and none of my games are installed anymore.

 

[TheSeks]

Yes. Though uninstalling MotioninJoy may be a bitch if it leaves some remants of it in the drivers manager.

Everyone should just go the XInput workaround, seriously. I don't have a 360 controller to see if it conflicts with the PS3 controller but it's the BEST way of using a PS3 controller on PC right now.

So then you're... abusing Modbot... to do "giveaways" elsewhere? Something Stump didn't really want people to do?

 

[JaseC]

I had this happen with a few games earlier in the year. Just install them again and Steam will detect the existing data.

I've never played or really heard anything about the games in the bundle. Anyone know if they are any good?

Nosgoth announcement trailer and closed beta registration open

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=685945

I knew something was up yesterday

Whoa. Nosgoth to be released relatively soon?

They are getting the store page ready. Added in a line to show the controller support and metacritic name. Really don't need these lines until release.

I got the impression it was relatively far off from the mamarobotnik thread. Maybe I will send him a PM and see if he has any information.

Thank you for this fellow GAFfer, good luck for those who will enter it!

I don't know about MotionInJoy, but the rest should take you less than ten minutes.

edit: not the last two things

Sweet! Thanks for Huntsman, jshackles.

I have Dead Space 1 and 2 on Steam, and Dead Space 3 on Origin. I know it's silly, but it bothers me not having the complete trilogy listed under either of these.

 

[Copons]

Yes. Though uninstalling MotioninJoy may be a bitch if it leaves some remants of it in the drivers manager.

Everyone should just go the XInput workaround, seriously. I don't have a 360 controller to see if it conflicts with the PS3 controller but it's the BEST way of using a PS3 controller on PC right now.

Fact is, I installed XInput SCP drivers some time ago because fuck MIJ of course, but without uninstalling MIJ.
Now, every now and then when I plug the controller it isn't recognized (I get all 4 leds blinking instead of just one) and I have to uninstall and install again the SCP drivers.


Turns out I had already uninstalled MIJ, can't even remember when, and so I cannot follow the uninstalling guide I found somewhere, so I'm probably stuck like this until the next format.
