Not a fan of wired controllers

thekhurg3222d ago

For living room they aren't any good. For those of us that game at a PC desk they're amazing. I don't understand why manufacturers don't give everyone an option instead of just releasing wired only... But oh well.

neoandrew3222d ago (Edited 3222d ago )

I play on pc i would never buy a wired only controller.

3222d ago
Bolts3221d ago

Wired is fine for PCs but for console it's shit. I'm 12 feet away from my TV, there's no way I'm using wired anything.

Bahamut3222d ago (Edited 3222d ago )

Yeah, definitely feel you, but wired has perks as well, such as lower latency and higher responsiveness. I'm strictly wireless atm, but thinking about buying something like this.

InTheZoneAC3221d ago

yes wired is always better, but it would take God to actually feel the difference between the two when talking about a controller 10 feet away from your console.

Klonoa-dreamtraveler3222d ago

Not liking the whole xbox button lay out. It not being wireless isn't helping either.

UltraNova3222d ago

Yeah me too i prefer the side by side stick layout too.

Vizigoth043222d ago

What Sony should patent is detachable left stick and directional button layouts so you can swivel them around on the fly. Clicks in and clicks out. And then go a step further and and the same with the right stick and circle square x and triangle buttons. This way you have a good customizable button layout. Can't be any more expensive than the touchpad and light.

zeal0us3222d ago

I came from 360 to Ps4 and dualshock felt weird to me and not mention lighter. This layout/design is tailor people who prefer xbox style over dualshock. I do wish they made it wireless and add a feature that allows me to turn on my ps4 with the playstation button.

Anzil3221d ago

Oh ya for sure I came from ps1 to Xbox and it took me a while to get used to the layout. It's whatever you prefer but I man I dislike the bumpers on Xbox one. Other than that the controllers are amazing!

Bahamut3222d ago (Edited 3222d ago )

Clearly this is made for Xbox to PS4 converts. WOLOLOLO

SirBradders3222d ago

If only they replace those awkward back buttons with paddles. The two facing the back are difficult to use and only really good for a non consistent button.The back triggers should be less sharp also.

InTheZoneAC3221d ago

paddles are no better. They just need to have natural resting buttons on the backside where your fingers naturally rest.

WeAreLegion3221d ago

Agreed. The chameleon controllers used to have that.

Bathyj3222d ago

No thanks. Sticks are in the wrong place.

IRetrouk3222d ago

Im glad im not the only one put off by this, thought i was just being picky but seems peps agree.

UnHoly_One3222d ago

That's how I feel about the dualshock, the sticks are in the wrong place.

I just want somebody to release a decent controller like this that is also wireless. Please, I'll pay good money for it. The dualshock is my most hated controller design in the history of gaming.

Nitrowolf23222d ago

Then buy a titan or chronus dongle

IRetrouk3222d ago

Thats it man, its either one or the other, im not saying whats best for anybody else just myself, i can play with both just prefers the symmetrical ones👍

Bathyj3222d ago

Really? The most hated design ever? The controller that popularised the now standard two analogue sticks?

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Iloveherliezz3222d ago

@Bathyj Ergonomics. Look it up its science.

No Way3222d ago

Bathy. Some would say that the xbox improved on the standard.

Rommy - the xbox has a more relaxed feel. I have to flex my thumb for the PS4 controller. Xbox is more of a V with my hand while the PS4 is more of a C.

specialguest3221d ago

Back when I was a Playstation only gamer, I tried the Xbox 360 controller for the first time and it felt natural and highly ergonomic. My FPS aiming skills improved as well. I prefer the offset of the thumbstick over the PS style any day.

UnHoly_One3221d ago

This is a pointless argument that will never have an end. Nobody will ever listen to the other side and decide to switch their preference.

I just stated my opinion, I don't mean to discount anyone else's. Like whatever you want, it's fine.

The reason I don't buy an adapter that lets me use an Xbox controller on PS is because it'll be missing features. If they wouldn't put that tilt crap and that stupid touchpad on their controller I would totally do that.

And yes Bathyj, it's my least favorite controller design. I find it uncomfortable and awkward to use. And it drives me nuts that I can't reach over and tap the Dpad with my right thumb if I want to. You'd be surprised how often that comes in handy.

@bathy, thats cool but to some people having asymmetric sticks could persuade them to buy a PS4 hence more sales. I can do either but having both options is good as it seems so important to some people.

Team_Litt3222d ago

Most widely used layout for PC controllers. Heck even some third party playstation controllers adopt this layout. I've never seen it the other way around though. No symmetrical Xbox third party controllers. Also just because a product popularized a feature does not mean 20 years later it still holds up. It's the reason I bought a CronusMAX Plus for my playstation 4

UnHoly_One3221d ago

Not just PC controllers, every other controller besides PS.

Go all the way back to N64, and look at where the left stick is in relation to your hand, and the PS controllers are the only one that put the left stick out and to the right of your hand instead of straight up from your hand grip.

I've always found that very odd.

NO, that can't be... No! I can't... Really?/s

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot14h ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose1d 19h ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE1d 17h ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername20h ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy1d 17h ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde1d 8h ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire861d 5h ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire861d 5h ago (Edited 1d 5h ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster30001d 17h ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle1d 11h ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk771d 8h ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Nuvem1d 12h ago

Where is the remake?!!!
