Microsoft is banning unauthorized third party controllers, so that may help alleviate some of the problem(though I’d assume more of them are on PlayStation since that is more popular).
The issue with that is that it negatively impacts accessibility controllers and niche gamepads like for fighting games.
Not to rain on your parade, but this is just the state of modern gaming journalism. There are thousands of these fluff articles that get written talking about a popular reddit post in gaming subreddits.
The outlets pay writers very little, so alot of writers churn out dozens of these low paying articles instead of devoting more time to longer, higher paying ones.
The outlets themselves don’t care because the only goal is to get people to click onto the site so that they get the ad revenue.
Okay this might be controversial, but Halo.
Don’t get me wrong, 343 has made alot of mistakes with this series. My issue is that on any old Halo game it seems like a huge part of the player population have all of the spawn points/cycles memorized. As someone who wants to casually go back every now and then it’s really annoying to get spawn camped every second or third game because the enemy team is perfectly tracking spawns on both power weapons and players.
As far as Infinite goes, I have never liked BR starts and that’s a majority of the playlists. Having the BR as a starting weapon means that most of the weapon sandbox won’t be used and every match is just long range poke fights. Don’t bother sniping because you’ll lose to someone with a BR if you don’t get the first shot or have the element of surprise. It’s the most unfun way to play the game imo.
Definitely not the dumbest, but Dva has such an absurdly large window in which she can disable Mei Ult. The initial throw makes sense. But once it’s on the ground it pops up into the air and starts freezing. She can eat it any time before it starts freezing, even after it hits the ground. Oh but once Ashe’s dynamite hits the ground she can’t eat that anymore? Make it make sense.
I know Kiriko already has already gotten a ton of skins, but I would still like to see her get an Omniblade Skin. If you don’t know this tweet shows Omniblade, which was the original concept for Sombra that bears alot of resemblance to Kiriko.
Using a third party device on console to trick your system into thinking that you are using a controller while you are actually using MnK. You get the benefits of MnK and still get console aim assist. Everything Diamond and above on console is infested with people doing this so it ruins the fun for alot of people.
If people want to talk shit to you online they typically just will. I don’t think most people will try and be snarky, they’ll be direct.
If it’s an officially licensed one or otherwise approved it won’t be an issue. From what I remember they did give a date that they were going to start blocking them. It sucks for the people who aren’t doing anything wrong, but it makes sense. Microsoft has spent a pretty penny acquiring fps titles, it’s in their best interest to do everything in their power to curtail third party devices like a Cronus or a xim.
