Title: The playstation controller sucks.
Post by: Am_I_Anonymous on March 23, 2015, 09:27:17 AM: Bought my kid a PS4 to take to college. We hooked it up and tried some games. I don't know how anybody over 5'7 can play on these damn things.

Couple that with the clearly shoddy quality and I rate it as :trash

:yeshrug

Post by: kick51 on March 23, 2015, 10:18:18 AM: had to put covers on the analog sticks. who the hell thought concave sticks + somewhat slick rubber was a good idea?

Post by: Am_I_Anonymous on March 23, 2015, 10:19:27 AM: That and they feel like they cost about 2 dollars to make.

Post by: Eel O'Brian on March 23, 2015, 10:27:59 AM: Battery life is the fucking worst, too. My launch controller gets about two hours before it drops to one bar now, and I don't even play that much.

Post by: kick51 on March 23, 2015, 10:39:48 AM: I pretty much just play it connected all the time. And I had to put a piece of electrical tape over the fucking blue light that you can't turn off. Even on the lowest setting it was very bright in a dark room.

Post by: archnemesis on March 23, 2015, 11:15:07 AM: Easily the best controller to date. I charge mine every other play session to deal with the poor battery life.

Too bad there are barely any games to use it with though. :'(

:ufup

XBox has been the best controller on the market since the 360.

Post by: Eel O'Brian on March 23, 2015, 11:29:39 AM: I actually like the controller fine (XB1 controller is way more solid, though), just wish they hadn't cheaped out on the battery as much as they did. Touchpad, speaker, flashing lights, motion controls, rumble, headphone audio output? Yeah, let's put a fucking watch battery in there to power all that.

Post by: BobFromPikeCreek on March 23, 2015, 02:08:20 PM: I still prefer the XBone's controller, but the PS4 controller is such a HUGE improvement over the PS3 controller. Like, fuck that horrible piece of shit.

yeah it's the first time they designed a controller for analog sticks. they slapped sticks and those shitass concave triggers to a practically unaltered 1994 controller.

80-hour battery life on that sucker. :smug
Title: Re: The playstation controller sucks.
Post by: nachobro on March 23, 2015, 06:09:29 PM: Eh it's okay, and I'm a big dude. I like the triggers but the controller could stand to be a bit larger overall.

The biggest issue is the garbage tier battery life on it.

Wii U Pro controller is the best of them all this gen. The only issue that thing has is the console it's attached to.

Post by: headwalk on March 23, 2015, 07:17:07 PM: i have zero desire to replace my 360 controller that i only really use on my PC anyway.

pretty good analogy for this generation.

Post by: MCD on March 23, 2015, 07:40:56 PM: wii u pro is sex on my hands but dat button placement

ps4 shit battery

xbox one bumpers can be a pain with some games (I tried dmc4 on pc and boy, it required real adjusting)

Post by: AdmiralViscen on March 23, 2015, 08:10:37 PM: Pro controller has no headphone jack which is fucking distinguished mentally-challenged.

I prefer the One's left analog placement. I appreciate the bigger handles on the PS4 controller but they still have no rise in the plastic around where the base of your thumb should be resting, so your thumb kind of arches over it with a space and I find that uncomfortable. On XBox controllers I can fully grip it.
