Video games?

I'm still playing Ifsunsets on Steam. It's beta state early access but it's addictive as heck. I'm keeping my eye on the remastered ES Oblivion for a sale price.

I played the prologue long enough to go ahead and buy it. Try it out! As early access it's only part of the zones up now and there are bugs but I've played it for weeks and enjoy it. I'm not usually big on the survival games but love it. Note that your progress in the prologue does not carry over to the full version so if you like it go ahead and buy before prologue finishes. I play single player my own world. If you try it you will have questions, hit me up and also join their discord. Lots of help there

Half life was the original . I think it's called Half life : source now .
Half Life 2
Opposing force is played from the view of one of the Marines
Blue shift is played from the view of Barney the Cop / guard .
They had several online mods , that are played online only as FPS .

I downloaded Half Life 2 demo on Steam but cant get controller to work. Oh well. Sound like a game I might like.

I always used a the keyboard and mouse , but I think you have to go into the Steam settings and enable controller . Turn on all controller types it shows there .

I'm not at the machine with Steam on it , but when I get a chance I'll take a look .

Play Fallout 4. Lot of quests. Start small and build yourself up to take on stronger opponents.

I'm a diehard keyboard and mouse gamer. I remap a lot of key bindings because of being left handed.

I swapped controllers this morning to charge and my other one works. I did disable steam input which sometimes works. I have several games the the controller will not work. I am a controller guy. I had looked for a steam controller as they suppose to work on these games but looks like they dont make them anymore.

Edit: Well after quitting game and going back it no longer works. Oh well I tried.

Did you go into the Steam settings ? Choose " controller " and enable all the choices ?
Here's a screenshot ,


Starting the game from Steam . To the far right of the green launch button
you can see 3 icons .

Looks like this zoomed in . Should be a controller icon in there
if it sees one .

Yeah I tried all on and off yesterday. It does show controller but also says not supported. I have several games like this that I bought but at least they where cheap. I sometimes wonder if maybe it seeing it as controller 2 though game tester says its one? I always switch the input off for the controller I not using. I got a refund on Arma 3 yesterday because controller was useless. I sit in recliner and play games from Tv. Think it would be hard with keyboard and mouse and really have no desire to learn.

So after spending couple hours last couple days trying get controller to work I decided to roll the dice and just buy it. i was playing Demo. The paid version seems to be working. I think I getting near the end of Black Mesa and really liked that game.

Well now you got me playing Half life 2 again , which I don't have time for . Lol .
Finally got Steam all updated and went into the game configs .
If it keeps working that's great but if it stops again ,
You should be able to make that controller work so you can at least play the game .
This is in the options of the game itself . Choose gamepad .
Then on the bottom right enable that tab .

and it takes you here ,
