Quoting: tuubiI've been happy with the ergonomics of my F310, triggers and all, but the cable is a nuisance. The build quality isn't anything to write home about either. I'm on my second controller right now. I fixed the previous one multiple times, but this one started breaking apart in exactly the same way quite soon after purchase. The left thumbstick button (the one that triggers when you push down on the stick) is pretty much unusable already.

My next controller will probably be an F710 though. It's only about 15 € more than the F310 these days and I won't have to get used to a new layout. It comes with two AA batteries, but I've got AA rechargeables to replace them with. Battery life should be great according to reviews. The build quality should be better as well, but I guess I'll find out.

Run away. Run fast, run far.

The quality is bad, it is noisy as hell, and it is the only controller in my collection that do not possess a USB plug, for when your batteries die and you need to be back at the game fast.

If you find its ergonomics good, I urge you to test something else, like the DS4 or the Xbone S. They offer a much quieter experience, and spare parts are easy to find.

Quoting: GuestCute graphics. I’d buy it if it wasn’t for this: "The danger of the adventure is emphasized by the possibility of saving only in certain places". Replaying the same segment again and again is not something I enjoy. Dead Cells did it right: you can stop playing anywhere and restart from there.

Me too. Definitely not a fan to replay large segments of a stage just to die and have to do it again. This is not a thing from the 8 bit era that I have good memories of.

And the beta client is really Laggy, am i the only one getting this issue

it's laggy for me as well and sometimes it refuses to refresh at all. the input still works fine, weirdly enough, but the display is frozen until i minimise/maximise the window, in which case it would refresh it but only for 1 frame as it freezes again.
So far I haven't found a reliable/consistent workaround to get rid of this problem.

Beta client is really slow for me too and I have nvidia card. But more serious problem is memory leak that occurs when I open certain game's library page. For example, opening Oxygen Not Included page eats all my 8 GB of RAM + 2 GB of swap file in a matter of seconds. This happens only on certain pages, not all of them. Really strange.

I have this problem too, and I'm on a AMD card. Terrible memory leak. At last the stable branch (non beta) is okay for now.

It is my impression, or people complaining about performance on the native version are using Nvidia, while others saying its fine are on AMD?

Looks like it is from a Brazilian developer. "Areia" means "sand" in Portuguese.

Quoting: JolltAlso the amazing filezise. 88mb for the full game? Damm.

88 megabytes? Those guys do not think of us folks still using floppy disks? Not everyone can afford CD-ROMs man.

Quoting: ShmerlLot's of small hidden interactions. Trying to interact with a power socket gives an electric shock :)

Now the new activity would be making Shelly running around and pressing hidden buttons everywhere :)

That is a thing I miss on modern games. The scenery is very static, sterile. Most games you shoot a lamp and nothing happens. Objects cannot be interacted with. And this is a shame because, with so much CPU power nowadays, you wold think interactivity and NPC AI would be through the roof, but the opposite is true. Is like games had regressed on these regards on the last generation.

The reviews on Steam are not very good. People are complaining that the game is unpolished. The game is also on the Unreal engine, which is known to have low performance on Linux. I hope it is on a better shape by the time it launches on Linux.

Quoting: M@GOidOne thing that really piss me off to no end is the gearing noise and micro-vibration of Logitech wheels.

Heh. The only force-feedback wheel I've ever used :( was in the arcades, years ago. So long ago I don't actually remember what the game was, but it was obviously pretty early because I got the impression that the activation was digital, either on or off. And it both felt and sounded - above all the racket of an arcade, remember - like someone jamming a crowbar into the mechanism. Turn a corner, and... CLUNK! FOOOORCE-FEEEEEDBAAAAAACK!

Horrible. I wonder if that experience is what's put me off buying a modern wheel (which I'm sure would be much better).

Sega arcade race machines were like that. The strongest one I remember was Indy 500. It could actually yank the wheel off your hands if you didn't hold it firmly enough. At first I thought it was cool, but it gets old pretty fast when you actually try to beat your friends and win the race.

One thing that really piss me off to no end is the gearing noise and micro-vibration of Logitech wheels. Is very distracting and not realistic at all (I work with cars, the only ones doing that are the defective ones). The gears mechanism is cheaper to make, that is why is used.

I heard that the belt mechanism used in more high end wheels from Thrustmaster, Fanatech and others are quieter and smoother, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance to test one to see it for myself.
