Mine's been pretty good so far, but I've only played a few games since it's been released (one of those being AC:BF, which the driver was mainly designed for
)

nikkas need to hurry upim getting both the XB1 and DS4 controllers. best of both worlds
The DS4 works partially albeit with no rumble. There's a directinput>Xinput wrapper tool out that I tried yesterday. It had a weird bug where Windows would make an alert sound everytime I pressed a button.

How do ya'll feel about Alienware?
I'm saving up bread to get a new gaming PC and I don't really know where to start. IDK if I should go prebuilt or not, or if I try to build one, what would be stable and futureproof.

Introducing Steam Reviews:
http://store.steampowered.com/reviews/
http://store.steampowered.com/reviews/
Read, Rate, and Discuss
Now it's easy to see what other Steam users think about a product before you buy. With Steam Reviews, you can browse for reviews that others have found helpful, or write your own reviews for titles you've played on Steam
Read helpful reviews
See the most helpful reviews written by users that have played the game or used the software you are considering purchasing.
Just look for reviews on any store page.
Rate others' reviews
Let other users know which reviews you've found to be the most helpful by rating them up.
You can also down-vote unhelpful reviews or report posts as spam.
Discover helpful authors
You may find a particular user that is great at writing reviews or shares your taste in gaming. Easily browse for all reviews by that user and see what other titles they enjoyed and recommend.
Write your own reviews
Let the community know how you feel about the games you play and the software you use.
To get started, just visit the Steam store page for any game you've played or software you've used on Steam.
Find and write reviews in your language of choice
When writing a review, users can indicate which language the review is being written in. Steam will then automatically prioritize the display of helpful reviews that are marked with the language of the user that is browsing.
For Steam users:
Q. Do these written reviews create an overall score or rating for a product?
A. Not yet, but we are looking to add that during the beta. Many products on Steam change significantly over time as the game or software is updated and new content is added. In order to form a score that accurately reflects the current state of a product, we first need to gather and evaluate the data from reviews.
Q. Do I need to have purchased a game in order to write a review of it?
A. Purchase is not required. You may write a review for any product you have launched via Steam. Whether you registered a Steam key obtained elsewhere, participated in a Steam Free Weekend, played a Free game, or played a game via Family Sharing, you will be able to write a review for that product. Your playtime in that game or time in that software title will appear next to your review.
Q. Can I write a negative review?
A. Yes. If you are unhappy with the product, or don't believe that it is delivering on what it promises, you may write a review and tell other customers why you do not recommend it.
Q. Can I report abusive reviews?
A. Yes, similar to other content shared on Steam, each review will have a 'flag' button to report offensive content or spam.
Q. What happened to the recommendations I've written to my friends?
A. All the Recommendations you've previously written on Steam have automatically been upgraded to Reviews for the product. They are all still marked as visible only to your friends by default. You may edit them and make them visible to the general public, if you wish, by going to your Reviews page.
Q. Does this replace Metacritic scores on games?
A. These reviews will be offered as additional data. Both Metacritic scores and Steam Reviews will be visible on store pages for both games and software.
For Developers:
Q. I'm a game developer. Can I respond to reviews?
A. Yes, when you post in the comments of reviews on your product, your comment will be flagged as being from the developer.
Q. I'm a developer. Can I delete reviews of my product?
A. Not directly. If you find abusive or offensive reviews written about your product, you can flag it as spam/abuse. The review will continue to be listed on your store page, but in a collapsed form and marked as spam until a moderator can either delete the review or remove the spam flag.
Q. My game or software has changed a lot since it launched. Will reviews reflect that?
A. The reviews that are shown most prominently on your store page are selected from recently-written reviews, which should reflect the current state of your game or software.
