It's more for padding, I find the DS4 a little flimsy coming from the xbox 360. After trying these out, it added a little more substance to the controller. Each to their own I guess.

Thanking the thread for the heads up on the KontrolFreaks. Got the CQC for the left stick, and FPS Ultra for the right, and it's pretty drat awesome. Cranking up the sensitivity isn't a problem now, it's not quite mouse and keyboard but it's the next best thing.

It's pretty easy to set up a lot of these, save, then do them and reload the save so someone else can get it. You can get a lot of people trophies just by setting up your world correctly.

Weird. Seems silly not to just make it cross buy if that's how it's going to work, even though there isn't really any reason to play the PS3 version if you already have a PS4 unless you have some friends that haven't upgraded or whatever. I'm just gonna buy the disc so I can sell it if I don't end up wanting to play it for months.

There is a great reason for me. I have my PS3 and PS4 in two different rooms. Now if I want to play in the living room I do not have to move my PS4. Fire up the PS3 and I'm good.

Mine squeaked for like a day a few weeks after launch then stopped. Someone said they sprayed some WD40 in there but I just ignored it and it went away on its own.

After buying Hotline Miami on PC and then PS3, I decided to give it another whirl on PS4 and try to get into it and I can honestly say it's the most uncomfortable game I have ever tried to play regardless of platform. I really want to like it but the controls are just so loving weird and uncomfortable and frustrating to me. I really just need to wash my hands of the game because I'm never going to get used to this.

I am finding the opposite is true for me. I enjoy playing it with the controller way more than the mouse. It also helps that the enemies don't seem as difficult on the console as on the PC. That might just be a bug though.

I haven't found anything really that wrong with the controls, except that the touchpad is a useless gimmick.

Please be excited.



Does anyone know if the 'constantly ejecting disc' bug can turn into an irreversibly broken system? I've had it twice now (months apart from each other), and both times it was fixed by either unplugging it or nudging the screw (I did both so I don't know which worked).

Wondering if it's worth being long term concerned about, since it's been such an easy fix up to this point.

From what people have told me when I have this issue, at some point the fixes will stop fixing it and then it's RMA time.

Why the gently caress can I not play my drat vidyas off of a USB stick, this is 2014.

Also my DS4 has a square button that works but doesn't go clickity click when i press it, it is very frustrating. I need my clicky sounds or I don't know if I'm gaming right.

My R2 AND L2 are squeaky but I figured that was a feature. I like it.

I had that with the controller that came with my console. After a few weeks I bought a second controller and noticed that that one did not make any noise. So I took the first one and got it replaced by the store easily when they heard that noise.

I have three controllers.

The first, the left stick is falling apart.
The second, the square button is mushy and the r2 used to squeak.
The third is perfect.

I'm about to head over to Best Buy to grab my first console since N64 days and I have no loving idea what to do between now and Destiny's launch. Ideally I'd like to play around with something that has similar aiming/firing mechanics as Destiny to get comfortable with the console controls.

Anything like that on PSN? I rather not sink $50+ into a game that'll collect dust come Tues.

I just sent mine off because of this. Had 2 intermittent bouts with it, and this most recent one wouldn't go away regardless of what I did to fix it (various unplugging and resets plus screw adjust fix).

Sony has a nice system in place for returning your repair as far as keeping you informed, but it's slow as poo poo for me so far. Took like 5 days just to get my coffin and I live I a pretty big metro area.

Plex Media Server works really well. I've only found 1 or 2 videos that don't run on it and after converting them in Handbrake everything runs great. It also pulls all the movie data so you get to a nice cover photo and synopsis and junk. It's not perfect and yeah running from USB would be nice but it's a nice work around for now.

I bought a PS4 about 3 months ago and I don't seem to have all the controller problems everyone else does. I wonder if the first batch of PS4s got different controllers or something (or maybe I'll start having problems after a few more months of use). I'm interested to see if the new White and Blue controllers end up with the same issues.

Well yeah, do this. Velocity X2 might be my favourite game of the year. It'll probably get you used to the controller pretty quick too.

If you die, can you get your poo poo you dropped? I died a few times i a cave system I got lost in so retrieval was hard. And I just had a lot of good poo poo on me and a loving zombie pushed me into lava. I assume there's no getting your poo poo when it's in Lava. Yeah?

Lava destroys anything that drops into it. Anything that didnt fall into the lava would be around for 5 minutes before despawning.

If I remember correctly, it only stays on the ground for a short while (like a few minutes.) I can't remember off the top of my head if lava destroys dropped items, but you tend to 'spray' them out when you die so a few bits might have survived.

Toilet Rascal
When you die all the stuff you were carrying lands on the ground around you. If it goes into lava it burns up but if it lands on solid ground or in water it will stay there for a while and you can go pick it back up.

If you build a permanent base it's a good idea to have a chest with spare pickaxes and swords for when this sort of thing happens, or collected raw materials so you can replace them.

My only complaint about Velocity is when you are missing points on a level and there's no indication what you might be missing. I want a perfect drat it.

ImpAtom
May 24, 2007

I think my big problem with Velocity is that I really don't like the huge levels with lots of repetitive backtracking. They don't really feel like they fit the pace of the rest of the game and they're the ones I'm most reluctant to Perfect just because they feel longer and kind of boring compared to the other level types. The backtracking being used sparingly works a lot better than "welp, teleport here, then here, then here, then here, then back again."
