#ghostwiretokyo — Public Fediverse posts

Unfortunately, my weekend didn't quite work out as I planned, but I did actually get some #gaming in, over a few hours yesterday afternoon and into last night (DW: TLA notwithstanding).

Some brief commentary.

- Check that a game can actually remap keyboard and joystick keys before purchase. I'm looking at you in particular #AceCombat7. Designed for an Xbox controller, and while you *can* play it with HOTAS (T16000m TWCS), you cannot remap keys, and it *insists* on showing Xbox controller key IDs.

- #Cyberpunk2077 falls into a similar category, surprisingly. It just straight up prevents you from remapping some keys in-game. Can be fixed (and accepted by the game) by quitting, editing a json file, and restarting. Yes, I definitely want to use T as my throw button, TYVM. Apparently this is a #CDProjectRed thing that affects #TheWitcher3 as well.

- #GhostwireTokyo is *really* interesting. I may go back to Japanese VO with English subtitles though, because the English VO & audio feels painfully out of sync.

- If I can't get your freemium game to even start because of #BattleEye issues, I'm not going to waste my precious time trying to debug it, #Planetside2.

- The #EpicGameStore launcher continues to suck major ass, and I'm literally only using it for exclusives and the free games, and even then, I've paid for some of them on #Steam

- #BlackFriday game sales, plus retail therapy as a coping mechanism is a bad combo. I have too many games.
