MetalProxy, I'm the same way, only in reverse.
I end up holding the DS4 awkwardly trying to get the stick to feel like it's in the right place, and my hands hurt from using it after a bit.
It just makes no sense at all for that left stick to be out to the right like that. None. Not when today's games require your thumb to be on that stick 99% of the time.
Do me a favor really quick. Lay your left arm down on the desk in...
I'm the same way in every aspect, including the part about being old. lol
I remember when PS1 controllers did not have sticks, then they added them, and most games didn't use them. Then games started using them and all I could think was "well now it's in the wrong damn place, this sucks".
Then Xbox came along and all was right in the world of controllers. :)
Strange how divided people are about controllers nowadays.
I think the DS4 is one of the worst controllers I've ever used.
How do you figure that offset sticks hurt your accuracy?
And Darth it is not wireless. This announcement isn't even new, I've looked at this thing before on Amazon, it's been on sale for awhile.
I was put off by the fact that it isn't wireless, and also that the right thumbstick is convex for some reason. I don't get why they did that.
I could have gotten past that, but I don't want wires across the floor in my...
The "symmetrical hands" argument is quite literally the stupidest argument I've ever heard.
I wonder what all PC gamers do? Do they use a left handed and a right handed mouse, and forgo the keyboard? They must because obviously their hands can't be using two differently shaped input devices at the same time, that's just ludicrous.
And me, every time I drive... My left hand operates the wheel and my right is on the gear shift. My ...
Darth, thank effing christ somebody else finally said what I've been saying for years.
Thank you.
I'm sick of people telling others how to spend their money. We get it, you don't like Xbox and we could play the games on PC and yada, yada, yada....
Can't you people get it through your thick skulls that some people just plain and simply prefer playing on an Xbox console?
We don't care if it is a "smart investment" (wtf does that mean anyway, it's a recreational device, not an investment), we just want to play games and hav...
Are you guys seriously so petty that now you're attacking an "unboxing" video for not actually being an "unboxing"?
Seriously, who cares what gloves he wore and if he opened the box or not?
I tried the free trial once and thought it seemed like a decent game, ended up grabbing it on sale, but I haven't played it yet.
Glad to see I get the upgraded version automatically. :)
The author of this article and about 75% of N4G commenters apparently forget about the existence of multiplatform games.
It's a new disease that seems to be spreading like crazy, I call it multiplat dysphoria. People seem to think that such a game just plain does not exist at all. There is just no such thing as a multiplat game, and you're stupid for thinking that there is.
Listen, I get it. Xbox doesn't have a ton of games that aren't ...
Ok, so you can give me all the scientific explanations you want, but I'm not going to take that over the example that I see in my living room every single night.
My Power center diplays a number on it that shows how much power is being drawn at any given time. It sits at about 1.1 amps with everything on standby. At max with everything going, I've seen it go up to 5 if I have everything on at once for some reason.
Last night I turned on Roku, an...
That's absolutely incorrect.
I have my TV plugged into an old Monster power center thing that actually displays the amount of power being drawn at any given time, and I can watch that number increase and decrease based on the amount of light the TV is showing in any given scene.
I've had that thing through 3 TVs, from DLP projection to edge lit Led, to 4k with Full Array Local Dimming, and they all work the same way.
More light...
I can't imagine why anyone would want this.
It's a waste of energy to have your TV lighting up all that empty space for no reason.
Seems like it would be harder on the eyes, too.
Yes, and everyone would say "greatness awaits" 39 times.
Ugh...
Krysis it's funny, it's not that Nintendo copied Xbox. It's just that they followed in line with every other controller ever.
Sony is the only company that still stubbornly won't put their left stick in the correct location. I don't get it.
Look at every controller since analog sticks were added and look at the positioning of the left stick. Even the weirdly shaped N64 controller has it above your thumb rather than to the right of it...
Concave sticks limit your responsiveness and feel "dead"??
What kind of utter nonsense is this, now?
lol
That blond with the British accent is ridiculously sexy.
Microsoft store still has them.
No, Liquid, they don't.
When playing games your left hand and right hand are performing completely different tasks most of the time.
