Gaming

Just claimed my Little Nightmares.

And I now have a controller!

I had a quick go on Trials with it and didn't get that awful hand cramp once. Not once!
Unfortunately I'm completely rubbish with it.

Haven't used one for three or four years and I'm afraid that muscle memory has forgotten itself.


EDIT But driving games are SOOOOOO much better with the analogue triggers.

Don't you just hate it when you have an itch on your back and you just can't quite reach it yourself?



Ooh, just a bit lower, Senua. And a bit to the left.
Aaah, that's it.


Did this fight with my controller and by trying out all the buttons I've realised that you can do a kick attack as well. You live and learn.
Well, you do if you didn't pay attention in the tutorial.

I really wish that the GTA V map had more information on it. More markers. Labels. Something?
I was going through some of Trevor's side quest and met Maude who sent me off to catch someone hiding at the quarry. What, now? There's a quarry? Where?
I drove around for a while looking for a rocky, sandy kind of place but nothing was showing up anywhere. In the end I had to give up, save, quit, then search on the internet.
Oh, THAT'S where it is.

In gamepad related news it's one of those games that plays much better with the controller.
I have been going through all my games and testing them out. Most are more comfortable now but I think I'll stick to keyboard/mouse for Skyrim because I do love the mouse wheel camera zoom.
Witcher 3 felt a bit awkward though. Normal movement was very clunky, I kept bumping into things, and riding Roach was like trying to control a runaway train. Movement was better during combat but I did keep accidentally taking potions.
And it doesn't solve the sword-drawing problem.
