    I've tried that, but a part of me says no to any D2 content that's not official. Luckily the upcoming D2 remaster fixes several things, stash space being just one. I hope they'll work on that game further and add new content. Last time I checked there were plans to support the game after its release.

    I'm considering pre-ordering COD Vanguard simply because it has SP Campaign, something lacking in BF2042, which makes the latter a hard pass for me as I do enjoy playing with myself...eh, by myself.:p:D

    I agree and ideally I'd like to see more FPS games with proper SP experience and top plots.

    Did it, pre-ordered Standard Edition of COD Vanguard as I don't need the extras of the frills of the Ultimate Edition. I'd be busy in just over a week's time when it'll be released.

    What do you like using for gamepads on PC?

    I keep seeing 8bitdo show up but I've also heard that official console controllers for Xbox/Playstation/Nintendo will also work too.

    Also how many games do you have installed in your system? There is literally no way I could have my entire Steam library installed but constantly uninstalling/installing games is a big hassle too. I feel like you should only install about 5-6 games that you are currently playing at a time.

    The dualsense is the best controller I've used.

    I have used a number of Logitech gamepads over the years with a PS4 and Switch Pro controller more recently. Overall, I liked the PS4 controller the best, though I really liked the Switch Pro controller while emulating past Nintendo systems since the motion controls worked.

    I went ahead and got the 8bitdo sn30 pro controller. Easily removable batteries sold me.

    I'll let you know what I think

    as much as I love the dualshock, the dualsense is just immensely better as a controller.

    I use the dualsense with PC, I like it. Can customize the led color in steam, can use the TouchPad as a mouse, and it has USB c

    Return that shit. I've owned a half dozen 8bitdo controllers and they're crap compared to the dualsense.

    @Cspirou I have the 8Bitdo Sn30 Pro+ and I really like it. I would try it out and see if you like it before you decide to keep it or return it. I don't like to use Bluetooth on it, I prefer wired. Great for my 2D gameplay titles and some 3D titles.

    I prefer xbox controller, it fits my "bigger than average" hands better but i would be happy with the PS5 one as well, really enjoy how it feels in the hands.

    Yeah, I'll give it a try. I tend to prefer wired but it seems like everything is bluetooth these days which makes me worry about signal delay. I checked a few reviews before buying and nothing stood out as major flags.

    My problem with playstation controllers is them always pushing the analog sticks to be squared up in the middle... just not ergonomic for me. Kills my wrists where they meet my thumbs. Like... economy of motion is just not as good. I feel like im using my entire hands to work just the sticks on them, whereas on an xbox controller its pretty much all smaller thumb movements.I do have big, lanky hands though.

    Im using the latest Xbox controller. It's great but the d-pad makes such loud clicky noise.

    Compared to PS controllers, Xbox controllers have better compatibility with PC.

    For ergonomics, I kinda lean more towards PS controllers.

    Can we use Dual Sense on PC? Hows the compatibility? Have they solved the reliability issue as well? If yes, I will get it asap. It looks so ergonomic.

    Yes dual sense works pretty well with PC, especially with steam, but even not with steam. Mine has had no issues, I bought it when it came out and have been using it on PC to play rocket league

    This is not the case with the dualsense anymore. It just works with PC now. Some games even support the adaptive triggers which are a game changer.
