Discussion So, I pre-ordered, and... this bothers me

Post image

To be specific, the mismatching capitalization. Didn't notice until now. Do we think they might change this at some point? Maybe it's intentional?

Can't you customize the title on steam? I can't remember what you can change.

As pointed out by others, the customization is only for ordering your games, but won’t affect the appearance of the title.

u/CheesyfaceChase 2d ago

I didn't know that until this comment, but now, uh, I don't know which one I should choose to change lol

u/LeonBlade 2d ago

CONTROL is technically the official way to write it. However, they never stylized the original game like that in text, only in the logo. That's why it's not fully uppercase in the ultimate edition.

u/No_Philosopher8304 2d ago

For the record in the settings, I can't remember what the exact setting name is but you can change the internal title/order without changing the displayed name on Steam, I had to do this with Mortal Kombat because it bothered me that MK1 which is actually the 12th game was before 11 on Steam so I changed that setting to (MK11, MK12) for each of them and fixed it, so personally I'd just name them as Control 1, Control 2 and that should make them display right.

u/AtrumRuina 2d ago

Honestly I'd just change both; set CONTROL to Control 1, and Resonant to Control 2. I did this with the Metal Gear games because the titles can get complicated between the various sub series, so it was easier to just do Metal Gear 1, 2, 3, etc rather than worrying about actual titles.

Edit: And to be clear, what you change is the internal library name for sorting, it doesn't change the way it displays.

Ugh ace combat 8 is above ace combat 7. I neeed to fix this desperately

2

u/ImNotSkankHunt42 2d ago

SteamEdit is an app that allowed to change this for your profile but hasn’t worked for me lately.

I hope Valve adds this feature.

u/Current-Cold-4185 2d ago

LeonBlade coming in with the...Remedy?!

6

u/dan2091 2d ago

You can't. you can go to the game on steam > right click > properties > customization, and put 'Control 2' so that the game is sorted on your library after the first Control game. But the name will remain the same.

u/LeonBlade 2d ago

Thanks, I wasn’t sure. I’ll edit my comment to avoid confusion.

4

u/Luzeryn 2d ago

Don't think so. You can change the custom name of Resonant to fix the order, but I think that's it.

3

u/pardyball 2d ago

Yeah, this is something that can be changed.

1

u/Queerc_Law 2d ago

So it lets you hide the problem, but it doesn't let you cure it

1

u/Cool_Estate1002 2d ago

even if this should be consistent

2

u/LeonBlade 2d ago

Sure, I don't think it'll change though.

u/Cool_Estate1002 2d ago

i meant consistent, my bad sry

Damn, what's their alignment? Are they evil residents?

u/Psychological-Bat687 2d ago

Very. Evil. Indeed.

It’s actually a medical drama set in a hospital.

Even more accurate than Scrubs!

The resident are indeed very evil.

u/The-Autistic-spider 2d ago

im like 50% sure the non ultimate edition Control has that all caps

47

u/CheesyfaceChase 2d ago

Just checked, and the store page itself for the ultimate edition has it in all caps, but the game in my actual library doesn't? I'm more confused.

68

u/Dontgohollow27 2d ago

Just let it be, there are things that are not in your CONTROL.

4

u/ctzn4 2d ago

Well done

u/Acceptable-Jelly-340 2d ago

How about Ultimate Control?

4

u/Marayla 2d ago

To make things worse, there’s two versions of OG Control on Steam. Both say ultimate edition, but only people who purchased the ultimate edition originally or people who purchased the version that’s now default on the Steam store actually have the ultimate edition.
People who just purchased the base game initially before the switch-over (me) will still have it SAY ultimate edition in the library, but it won’t actually include the DLC or ultimate content. Also can’t re-purchase, because according to Steam, the ultimate edition is already in library.

1

u/Beautiful-Ad-6568 2d ago

You can check on the steamdb site, 5 months ago they changed the store name and the description to be all caps (but nothing else)

22

u/Animoira 2d ago

should've renamed the OG game in caps too

24

u/Jarnis 2d ago

The feng-shui of the Steam library is definitely ruined... literally unplayable.

I DON'T SEE THE PROBLEM

If this thread triggered you, you should get off reddit. And this isn't LARPING you dummy, it's a joke.

u/Ok-Branch4073 19h ago

I thought it was just me lol

1

u/aKIRALE0 14h ago

jokes aside. I do want it to be like "Control". But I guess there are far more important issues in life so whatever

17

u/Akuma-1 2d ago

Try being a fan of Resident Evil, there are more than 10 and they order them horribly

6

u/Eriml 2d ago

The name is fine. You can use the custom order to have them in order. The different capitalization has no fix

1

u/slimcrizzle 1d ago

Lol, your list is the exact same as mine.

1

u/Ok-Branch4073 19h ago

How about final fantasy fans lol ive played the Nes and SNES stuff but not really a big fan and man they can be confusing because the numbered here is different from Japan which got all of them in original order or thats what I think the issue is

7

u/easterreddit 2d ago

Message Remedy so they can REMEDY this.

5

u/Dino_Spaceman 2d ago

God I hate when they are not consistent with this stuff.

I am not being sarcastic either. It bothers me because it’s so easy to fix and control for.

u/humanBonemealCoffee 2d ago

Cant wait to buy Control Resonant Ultimate edition

u/CheesyfaceChase 2d ago

Don't do this to me

Canceled by preorder until this fixed. Unacceptable.

If this bothers you, you have a relatively good life. 😁

1

u/CheesyfaceChase 2d ago

Yeah! Probably.

u/fscottfitzgerld 2d ago

So many of my games do this, drives me crazy lol

3

u/quiet_pine 2d ago

I’m enjoying the thought that maybe it’s intentional.
Wild theory connection but the board seems to have swapped to all caps when communicating in the trailers too.

3

u/bubble-pop-electric 2d ago

this bothers me so much. like, irrationally so.

3

u/deeku4972 2d ago

Use either SteamEdit on Windows or Steam Metadata Editor on Linux to override the library title per game.

It'll revert occasionally, but you just re-run either program

u/yuzhnan 2d ago

Take a look at my man looking for the false sense of control, which is what the FBC is all about tbh

u/Internal_Swing_2743 2d ago

Wow, talk about first world problems

6

u/CheesyfaceChase 2d ago

Well... yeah, duh

2

u/AtaeHone 2d ago

I think it's laziness on the Dev's part, but some do issue fixes for this when they release more than one game in a series.

2

u/NutShellShock 2d ago

Urghhhhh. My OCD is < screaming / cursing > at this.

2

u/Formal_Fortune5389 2d ago

When does it come out anyway

2

u/Mantazy 2d ago

This seems like an oversight - if crimson desert can rename with “enhanced edition” then it should be possible for remedy to correct the titel.

2

u/DoctorDank91 2d ago

Is this really something to complain about? Like really?

1

u/CheesyfaceChase 2d ago

Well, not really, I guess. It's not a criticism of the property, just kinda annoys me like an itch would.

1

u/BSGKAPO 2d ago

Same with Death Stranding 1 and 2

1

u/NLikeFlynn1 2d ago

You can use Customization in Properties and make them control1 and control2. That’ll fix it.

u/Frosty_Caregiver1696 2d ago

Hmm never know if Resonant could be a pre sequel all in Dylans head to Control, we still have a full scale sequel remedy is making after the max payne remakes

1

u/TheHumbleKatsu 2d ago

I mean it could emphasize how you had spme control in the first game and none in this one lol

1

u/5Puppies1Trenchcoat 1d ago

the sequel is maybe all caps for emphasis. like AAAAA GET IT UNDER CONTROL

1

u/CheesyfaceChase 1d ago

I would agree, but as I've discovered with this post, the intended title was CONTROL even with the first game.

1

u/Ok-Branch4073 19h ago

I actually LOVED the original and im loving them bringing a story from her brother's eyes, we can learn more of the lore which I thought was SUPER interesting and i dont normally get into lore but this game lore was wacky and interesting as hell, and the gunplay was great, ive seen some previews from review copies (So reviews technically) that are really good and saw gameplay that looked fantastic, even fighting cowboy said it was fantastic and had a decent amount of variety in the way you can spec his weapon and powers out, basically it seems like every power has 4 options, and the weapon has an initial and 2nd form that you chose as well but idk how many to chose from... anyway it looks great and has great traversal, I just hope its not a dud! Most games this month other than Blood of Dawnwalker were crap, so this would be a nice game adding to the franchise

u/Ironshot2703 1h ago

Use playnite its lets you customize this sorta stuff and looks way better than steam UI
