“Helldivers fans – we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward....
Making a PSN account wasn't the main issue it was players that can't officially make an account no longer being able to play. If it went ahead, player numbers would've gone down substantially, hurting the game in the long run.
Looking to buy a new controller, currently have Xbox One but the thing is I don’t really like the sticks on these controllers, the way they push in and out means they don’t glide smoothly, I’ve used the Elite controllers and they don’t have this issue but $200+ is a little steep, so does anyone make a good controller...
I got the same controller for the same reason after my Elite Series 2 got stick drift. Really responsive sticks and it doesn't feel too cheap even with the lower price.
It made me realise I never actually finished Arkham Knight. I played a couple hours but was put off from the performance issues at the time. Runs fine now apart from a few ini file tweaks for aesthetic reasons.
A number of developers have said they are concerned about the future of Apple Arcade, with one person stating there is "the smell of death" around the mobile game subscription service.
I played the demo during a Steam Next Fest and thought it was fine. Didn't finish it as there was an issue progressing in an area while using a controller. Probably didn't play enough to get a full idea but what I did see was interesting enough to give it another shot.
