A pretty big group of my friends are getting together to play Phantom Dust, which was remastered and released for free the other day. I try to play the game on the keyboard and It's like crushing my testicles in a vice. I go to bestbuy yesterday to buy an xbox one controller and it's $65. I don't want to play the game and unlock everything I just want to do multiplayer so I was planning on spending $20 to unlock everything in the game. Now this free game is going to cost me $85. Idk when a controller for a console started costing this much money but jesus christ.
I'm so tilted
Should have just gotten a Steam controller. Really enjoy mine. Or get a used 360 controller on ebay.
I haven't purchased anything yet. I was considering a steam controller but have never actually felt one in my hand

It's really nice. A bit heavier then a wireless 360 but the weight makes it feel much niceer in your hands. The trackpads are actually pretty good for a M+KB replacement but they blow the pants off the 360 controller in terms of comfort.
Granted this is my opinion as I'm not a console gamer but I really like the Steam Controller and how it feels.

Summer sale should be very soon. I think I'm going to pick up a steam link if it goes on sale in June.

I like the Steam controller a lot in theory but find that it is a bit large for my hands so it becomes uncomfortable after a relatively short usage window. Other wise pretty cool.

Oh I have big hands I find the 360 controllers to be too tiny and light. So that may be the difference.

I recently got a PS4 bluetooth controller for gaming. I absolutely love the Playstation line of controllers.

I am talking about coop boardgames, just to be clear. Not CoD coop.
OH, like D&D.
Not Pen and Paper, board games in general. Haven't really convinced any players to try RPGs unless they've done them before... male or female.
I'm finding that half of everyone that I know, with some strong leaning towards the female, are playing D&D these days.
It's been a gaming renaissance of late. Lots of really amazing role playing games and board games are coming out in-part because of Hasbro/Wizards investment in the space since 4e. I'm not a big fan of D&D but I appreciate where it is driving the market.
It has jack shit to do with Wizards and Hasbro. They are flat abandoning D&D.
IMO, Board games are resurging thanks to Felicia Day and Wil Wheaton teaming up to produce Tabletop. Hasbro's celebrity D&D games drive a little, but not much.

I would say that board games were long since exploding by the time TableTop started but I'm sure they haven't hurt things at all. Crowdfunding has also been a crazy driver of both RPG and board game development since it came into existence.

Board games never ceased to be developed, but the popularity was never really changing.
Crowd funding brought money direct to game makers and it helped also.
Cards Against Humanity brought a lot of people to the table again, but that quickly because just another drunk party game to many people.
When Geek & Sundry started pushing things it really changed sales.
-
I would expect that crowd funding also allowed more direct customer to product funding so that publishers were less part of the decision chain as much as the customers themselves are. Now customers interested in a specific game can make sure that their voices are heard.

Really? They've been pushing D&D 5E ridiculously hard since it came out, season event, new books and formats, it's not 3.5 for sure but it plays better, is much more streamlined, and easier to introduce people to. 4th Edition was a misstep sure but 5E has been bringing in a ton of new players that wouldn't have been exposed to the genre otherwise. Then you can introduce them to other RPGs.
They are getting butts in seats and to cons which is a good thing.

I really want to play ES2. I haven't bought it though since things have been...interesting...from a financial perspective lately. Hopefully soon though. If not there are always Steam sales.
