Yeah that's baffling, I thought it was better with KB/M, it's easier to target the machine's subsystems with a mouse! Even compared with auto-aim on the gamepad.
I've been curious about The Finals, it looks fun. Is it easy to get into? I worry about toxicity in multiplayer because I'm not great at team based games.
I think Elecoms are prone to sticktion. I have an Elecom Huge and I had to replace the bearings to make it smoother. None of my other trackballs have that much sticktion, my Kensington Slimblade in particular is buttery smooth.
Probably a toss up between Hi-Fi Rush, Doom Eternal, and Guilty Gear Strive. I suck at fighting games, but I love learning all the unique mechanics of the characters.
I've been playing a lot of Cult Of The Lamb. It gets a bit grindy, but otherwise I love it. Alternating between crusading and base-building is a satisfying gameplay loop.
I can't remember what the enemies are actually called, but the zombie dudes and the army dudes are the ones I always glory kill for health. I usually try to whittle them down with the rifle so I don't accidently kill them before they go all flashy. Other than that, I just try to keep moving around the map, and review the codex entry for each enemy type so I know which weapon is best against them.
And then they're stuck in your head for weeks like a fucking mind virus.
