AD has performance anxiety  

Haha, nah, just not too experienced with Duos or Squad. The best I have been able to do is 2nd place in Duos, and I was able to get a win in Squads(running solo), but I pretty much lurked and let others kill each other.  I might have gotten like 2-3 kills that match.  The major difference with it and Solo is players are downed instead of killed, if they still have teammates alive.  I mainly play Solo where I win a lot of the 1v1 battles.

Fortnite Fridays?  D1P squad?  Being terribad all night for sweet Drift exp? WHo's down?

I'm down, the later the better.

Sorry for playing shity @Slug, I'm just not used to duos. We need to get a group of 4 going though.

Mo got to see first hand my awfulness yesterday. :P

 

Every console player I know has said that it takes some getting used to, but ultimately builder pro is faster and better for them.

Builder pro dedicated building items to a button, so no scrolling through the building hotbar.  Right trigger is wall, left trigger is ramp, left shoulder is pointer roof and the right shoulder is floor/ceiling.

Box yourself in with holding the right trigger and doing a 360, aim up and do another 360, jump and look down and pull the left trigger to create a ramp, rinse and repeat. 

I'm sure there are videos on YouTube to teach you builder pro controls as well.  Learning them felt like I was cheating. Kind of like gyro aiming.

You'll have to teach me. Verticality is the devil.  I'm good until I either get above or below someone, then I'm garbage.  I can't keep track of my enemy's position.  As soon as I lose sight of them it's game over; I can never reacquire them and they ace me from above, below or behind.

Headphones are a must, you're playing on PC, which means the people there are using different strategies and have building structures macro'd, so I can't help you there.  With a controller though, you must go builder pro controls and learn to quickly wall yourself up, create ramps and floors to go vertical quickly.  I'm not on a professional level, not even close.  I still get out built, but it's all about doing what you know.  when building ramps, it's smart to double ramp, as well as add walls, as an extra line of defense to your ramp.  

Most importantly, you must learn when to shoot and when no to.  Not to mention, get comfortable with weapons.

Damn dude. 

 

I have 3 wins out of nearly 800 games.  And I only count one of those wins as legitimate. o_0

I got another 3 wins last night.

The gyro aiming has increased my gunplay skills by a ton.  I've netted 4 wins in the last few hours of gameplay with basic weapons or green weapons.  I tend to run assault rifle, SMG and either a shotgun or some type of explosive,  something for health and something for shields.  

Game is just awesome. Best moment since the 5.0 patch for me was driving up a ramp someone was making, running him over and scoring a kill.

I got my weekly challenges completed.  Damn llama took forever to find.

Fortnite and Mario + Rabbids.  As soon as I beat Rabbids, I move on to Octopath or Shinning.

I tried out the motion controls, feels good. Great addition. 

 

Epic isn't just shaming pubg, they're shaming the whole GAAS industry with these updates. I suppose making a bajillion dollars a month is a great motivator, but they're really killing it with fortnite. Every week there's something new happening. 

I just tried out the gyro aiming as well, felt damn good.  Got 4 kills using it too.  What an amazing addition.

And yeah, Epic is fucking killing it as the best GAAS dev.  Even if you don't buy the battle pass and don't care about the challenges, or whatever, their free support to a fun game is amazing.  And the shotgunning people tried doing is already feeling different.  

Holy fuck.  This is why Fortnite is easily the best BR game out there.  The amount of support this game gets is insane.

There are quite a few things added and changed.  I love that the progression stuff will no longer be tied to a single season and will now be based on XP, rather than season level.  I had enough vbucks to buy the Season 5 Battle Pass, but gave them an extra $10 to get the Season 5 Battle Pass bundle.  They earned my money.

Shining Came out yesterday (on steam at least) so you could start that one right now.

I have it on Switch. I'm just not sure that I should start it. I think I'll just wait until I finish Octopath. I dont want to put a few days into a game, and not remember what i was doing when i return to it.

Yup, I can't believe this and Shinning are a few days apart. I'm torn on which I should start first.

If you skipped the season pass you wouldn't be missing much. 

I've got plenty on my plate, not to mention I purchased two JRPGs for the Switch this week.  

Never heard of it.

While waiting for the new Fortnite season, I've been playing a lot of Mario + Rabbids, as I never got around to finishing it.  What an amazing title.

I got to say the GameBoy Advance and the PSP were my favorite handhelds.  Switch is easily gaining on them.

18 units more would be inconsistent with the commentary they have given.

 

Why do you think it is a given that Switch will sell more worldwide?

I honestly think Japan will explode with Pokemon and Smash.  And the rest of the world will follow.

As well, according to NPD, PS4 has been the top selling console every month since February.

Maybe the PS4 has sold 18 more units a month consistently. I can see why the NPD would put the Switch on top and not any of the exclusive software.  Smash won't have enough time, and Pokemon is technically two games. 

I think worldwide, it's a given the Switch will sell more hardware. 

Expect to see me playing this on the switch.  This game is perfect with it's short burst levels.  

It still baffles me how much more fun I had with this game over Destiny.

Uh, like a grace period where you can transfer? does this mean I can play on both, or I need to pick a platform to lock into? Would be big news for me if I can play on both! 

Not sure. 

I'd ditch PC to go Switch though, especially if I can keep my PC content.  It's not as ideal as  being able to use the same account on both, but I'll take it over nothing.  When I started on xbox, I wasn't able to transfer to PC, so I had to start all over. Which wasn't a big deal, as the game was drastically different from the time I had played it last.

I doubt I'll double dip before a crazy steam sale.

Playing God of War (mopping up side quests) -- trying to decide when I should start tackling Valkyries (I tried one while I was a low level 5, and coultdn't get her more than 75% down after 3-4 goes...)

 

Finished the campaign for CoD: Infinite Warfare over the weekend.

 

Started up Watch_Dogs 2...

I'm still waiting on a sale for the season pass before starting WD2.  I snagged up the vanilla game on super cheap, maybe 6 months ago.

Lack of controller support?  I've never played it on the console so I can't really say much.

That's what it might come down to, yeah. It's weird though, since Blizzard has controller support for PC Overwatch.

An hour before maintenance started managed to finish my UE set for my Demon Hunter in Diablo 3.  Thank god, I hate the Marauder set.

I'm looking forward to the Switch release of Diablo 3. For some reason, I can't seem to fire it up on my PC.
