A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:

[–]WhalesAreScaryAsFuck 21 points22 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

it's fairly common to have the movement keys be the arrow keys on RTS's, for example Company of heroes. I actually prefer it that way for some strange reason.

[–]Stubborn-Atheist 17 points18 points ago

After playing Empire and later Total Wars I cannot go back to the arrow keys. It just feels so weird now.

[–]WhalesAreScaryAsFuck 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

weren't the total wars before empire arrow keys? but yeah im with you on that, it does seem more natural for those.

[–]Stubborn-Atheist 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yes they were arrow keys. Thats the reason I cant play Rome anymore. It still is my favorite TW but the controls just dont agree with me anymore. Oh well. Rome 2? Yes!

edit: Yeah I do actually play Starcraft, Dawn of War, Company of Heroes, etc. just fine on the arrows. Just takes me a few minutes to get used to it. TW? Forget it. I cant adjust easily there.

On a related note, my buddy showed me something genius... He uses ESDF so he has more hotkeys open to the left... I really need to get around to this, but have yet to want to invest the time to reconfigure.

[–]uvarov 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I recall a 'discussion' recently, somebody put forward the claim that WASD is better than ESDF because you can reach Ctrl and Shift, which are modifier keys and guaranteed to work (whereas depending on the keyboard, pressing several character keys at once might not register them atll), and the edge keys are bigger targets. Still, to each their own.

I've used a crummy 2 screen setup (not playing game, just casual browsing) and I have to say, it's FAR less distracting then it appears to be.

[–]xmsxms 44 points45 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Two screens would put the bezel right over the cross-hairs of a FPS.

[–][deleted] 26 points27 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That's why people don't use eyefinity for 2 screen setups, just use one monitor. I've never seen anyone go dual screen on an FPS.

[–]Yeugwo 84 points85 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I really wish games would offer 2nd monitor support. Show a map, or inventory, or something on the second monitor. I dont want to stretch the game across both, just have additional info on the 2nd one

[–]Legitimidget 19 points20 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That would actually be very nice for some games. Play the game on one screen, have the scoreboard/minimap on the other.

[–]Kratzyyy 18 points19 points ago

Was gonna say I'd love playing BF3 with the map on the other monitor, but then I realized BF3's mapping is just about useless.

[–]lerkz 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

When playing bf3 in eyefinity its nice to enlarge the minimap on your left screen, makes it a bunch easier to read peripherally, just that it minimizes every time you die and you have to enlarge it again. :X

With a touch screen that could be really nice for inventory

You go three screen so the middle one is normal.

[–]Loplop509 8 points9 points ago

Dual screen is ideal for having your FPS on one and a Mumble/TS/Vent list on the other. That's how my friend does it when we're on Project Reality and we use him to manage users in channels and such because he doesn't need to tab it

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

How if the game removes your cursor? You'd still have to alt-tab, no?

Yes. i run surround vision and it doesn't feel like they are 3 different screens. Just 1 big one.

[Edit]: Just posted my rig in r/Battlestations

[–]PhoenixFox 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

but three screens doesn't put a bezel right in your face. Think of an FPS - with two screens, or four horizontal, then you have a bezel where the crosshair should be. With six (or anything with two rows), you have the same problem, but horizontal rather than vertical.

3 is good but an even number of displays puts a bezel right in the middle of everything. Not so good.

[–]AppleDane 5 points6 points ago

I would think games that have a crosshair in the centre of the screen will be weird to play. I'd think a 2x1x2 or 2x3x2 setup would be better for stuff like half-life and most other FPS.

That's because you're putting two bezels next to each other- when shopping for a multiple monitor setup, you have to remember to double the width of the edges to figure out how far apart the screens will be.

On an LCD or plasma screen there's a small gap between each pixel because they're physical things. If I'm not mistaken on a CRT there's only lines between rows of pixels (it's been a rather long time since I've had a CRT monitor though)

[–]Dr_cow 5 points6 points ago

Unless I'm very mistaken each monitor is in 1080p so you get a much higher resolution out of this set up than you do with a single 42 inch tv.

[–]reddog093 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

In games that scale, you do get a lot more coverage.

I use to play Eve with 3 24" monitors. Instead of 1920x1080, it was 5760 x 1080. I had so much free space that it made the space environment feel so much nicer. Plus, I could load up tons of windows for browsing the market & doing side-stuff while mining.

I'd assume if you can afford 6 monitors, a nice computer isn't that far out of reach.

To be honest, I've always hated multi-screen setups with the game displayed across all of them. The black borders between the screens would just drive me absolutely insane.

Anyone know if they sell a monitor that essentially has no bezel? Just 100% viewing area or as close to it as possible?

It's amazing how many people comment with condescending remarks without knowing a damn thing.

Good to see alk the core gamers telling him what keys to use too. How other people play matters.
