Save 91% on Classic Sierra Bundle on Steam

The new Kings Quest might be worth the price of the total bundle alone, and the Gabriel Knight games are great too. Also remember the Phantasmagoria games, but might remember them more from the gore genre of the old FMV games than they were "good".

Played most games before, but that be some good value for some great old classics. 91% off on a bundle of

Gonna pick up Witcher 3 GOTY for 29 I think. Have the base game but its on that stupid GOG platform.

Wish they'd put the expansion pass on sale - atm GOTY is nearly the same price as the pass. ;/

Yeah, wirelessly the steam link is spotty, however, I don't have the most badass wifi router that I could have. I'm assuming it's better with a top tier wifi router.

Wired it's amazing and worth it for games you want to play with a controller from your couch.

How is the port for Dark Souls: Prepare to Die? I've heard mixed reviews but might say fuck it for 11 bucks.

I'm playing it. I have never played Dark Souls before but am currently playing it on computer and Xbox. Just get the DSFix mod and then go ahead and play. It's really that simple.

I usually don't budge for anything over $10 during the sale, but I'll break my rule for Doom.

Can I use my Xbox Elite controller with the Steam Link? Does the Microsoft wireless dongle work with it?

You can hack together a way to get the xbox 1 wireless working with Virtual Here on your PC. I ended up just saying fuck it and buying the controller though.

Soygen · Dec 23, 2016

I have a Steam Controller already, I just don't like it.

a_skeleton_06 · Dec 23, 2016

Yeah, I was trying to play something basic last night (Telltale Walking Dead S2) and jesus, I hate that fucking controller.

Gravel · Dec 23, 2016

What don't you like about it? I was considering buying one, and most of the reviews seem good.

Soygen · Dec 23, 2016

I'm sure a lot of it simply a learning curve and teaching new muscle memory(and I just wasn't patient enough for those things to kick in), but the lack of a physical right stick just drove me nuts. I find that often rest my thumb against the right stick when it's not in use(on my Xbox/PS4 pad), but you can't do that on the Steam Controller as even the lightest touch activates the pad. I love the customization and haptic feedback, but I just couldn't get used to the track pad replacing the mouse or right stick.

Exactly the same for me. DS4 controller just feels much better and works perfectly fine on PC.

a_skeleton_06 · Dec 23, 2016

Yeah, I notice that I slide my thumb when I'm going to select the xyab buttons and I'll accidently activate a key on the touchpad that will hose the shit out of me. Like Soy said, probably just muscle memory but ...

Especially since Steam added native support for it. Some games wont recognize it and you might need to use a 3rd party program. I use DS4Windows when it wont work on it's own.

Steam controller is the best PC game interface ever. You can play any game on PC with it, including things like Xcom, Civ (have great configs).

If you want to learn to use it, I can help you set it up. Just PM me. The best game to really fall in love with this thing is honest to god Saint's Row IV. The vertical nature of the super powers combined with the gamepad for everything but aim. The mouse + gyro is so fucking hilariously awesome. Flipping 180's with a game pad is unlreal feeling.

I have played almost every genre of game with my steam controller. If you put in the time to customize it at all to your desires. The thing is just flat better at what it does. It would be a serious competitive advantage if you could use the steam controller for Console FPS for example to its full powers. I am a reasonably top tier FPS players. I can achieve about 85-90% of my mouse/keyboard capacity with the controller in a competitive setting.

Its a wonderful device.

Mine sat on my side table for 2 months before I really decided I wanted to see what it could do. I can help shortcut understanding the config settings. I can also help get the haptic pads set to your hand size. This is key to enjoyment.

Any hardcore PC gamer is just flat missing out by not learning the steamcontroller. You will never go back, ever once you do.

I am Champion rank in Rocket League with it, and have at least 2000 hours with the thing across everything I've played. Keep your brain biases intact though if you want to convince yourself the DS4/XBox Elite are superior on PC. You're just missing out.

hodj · Dec 23, 2016

Steam controller is superior in every way except the one that matters most: Being able to just pick up and play a fucking game.

But it is definitely a fantastic device if you're willing to put the time into customizing it.

Cept fuck Valve for not including a rechargable battery on it. Faggots.
