Pretty sure it will work with a VPN, but I am not trying to access it with workarounds cause games + input lag = crap.

Want proper local support.

Seems like they’re forcing 1080p + 60FPS in browser, the test app is still a no go.
I had to use a VPN with the test app, but definitely more dropped frames in browser vs app so Batman performs better than Forza.

Edit:

[AlphaJohn]

Anyway JULY 2021

How I wish it was the other one cause at least it had 1 game I would have played... this one has none.

Damn! and here I am still struggling with FPS using a controller. I'm too used to keyboard/mouse.

Totally agree..

Only reason I still have a gaming PC is cause of FPS.

Such a pity that more games don’t support keyboard and mouse

I made the switch to controller when I went to the X360 and have not looked back.

I don't think I can go back.

I guess it depends on how old you are.

I have been playing FPS with keyboard and mouse (inverted obviously) for more than half of my life, hard to teach an old dog new tricks

Same but I can switch between both, I was on console exclusive for almost 7 years until I got a PC again, was like riding a bike.

Very much depends how old you are.

I also used to only play KB&M when I was younger but then I got older and lazier and realized that it's a bloody pain to use a keyboard and mouse from a couch so I bit the bullet and decided to just move to controller. Haven't looked back.

 

[bokka1]

I am 51 and have been gaming my whole life, I am used to the controller.

@_kabal_ I don't think it is an age thing....

 

[AlphaJohn]

Bunch of old ballies here...

You lot should be on the "stoep" sipping wine and think about retireing.

Jeees, gaming is for us youngsters.

Still going to download doom eternal. Looks great. Pretty sure the last doom I played was doom 2.

maybe 10+ hours on a FPS with controller will make me better

I don't think that is the best game to start with, it is kak difficult. Rather start with Halo.

I agree. It's probably the most difficult fps to play with a controller if it's you aren't used to a controller.

I haven't used a KB+M since the early 2000's so I'm pretty good with FPS using a controller.

I struggle with Doom. The game is just way too sensitive to inputs. Start with literally anything else, and only play it when you're used to the controller...
