I'm really glad the ps4 thread has had time to weigh in on the xbone controller for us today

Sedisp posted:Better things about the Xbone controllers vs a 360 controller: I bought a Xbone controller for my PC after my 360 one was lost in a move, and I like most of the changes like the d-pad and triggers. It feels better in my hand and I like the button placement a little bit more. I take pretty drat good care of my peripherals so I'm not worried about it breaking. Sticks feel fine to me. Unfortunately, I recommended an xbone controller to friends for their PC and they couldn't really get over the changes, especially the clicky buttons. And I really get it. I like it for reasons, but if you're coming from heavily playing a 360 every day, the changes must be annoying as hell. If you're not IMPROVING the controller, why change it at all?

ethanol posted:And yet I still have perfectly working xbox 360 controllers from 2005 Actually, same. The left stick can drift one step left at irregular intervals, but if you spin it around it corrects itself every time. It's still my primary gaming controller today. Did the Bone controller ever go wireless for PC?

Stux posted:also the guy that own the bone had sunset overdrive and has already traded it in because he said it was boring and unfunny and has been playing second son on the ps4 instead lmao This is definitely another stux lie. I'm sure of it. The bonetroller is nice, I'm sorry that you feel the need to hate it because you support a rival console. At least it doesn't crumble in your hands. Imagine how much ammo you guys would have if the analogs on the Xbox were as bad as the ds4!  Literally every single display unit ps4 I have seen has completely worn off analog sticks. I'm gonna start taking some photos I think, will post here when done! What a piece of loving poo poo!! I bet Sony have also invested around $100 million in the DS4, purely on replacement analogues and shipping refurbs

Console warrior stuff aside these are exciting days in next gen gaming. The Wii u just received a potential GOTY in the amazing exclusive platinum title: Bayonetta 2 The Xbox one just received the crafty and critically acclaimed sunset overdrive, today also sees the launch of the greatest remaster of all time - The master chief collection. And then there's the PS4, only 19 days till it gets it's next free 'failing to sell of its own accord' Indie game  Excellent stuff gamers!

So if the PS4 outpaces the Bone for November who do you thinks gonna buy the Xbox brand? Amazon seems like a likely contender I assume they will have the good graces to not rename it the Xbox Fire. Too true unfortunately.

I believe Sony will buy it with their 2 billion quarterly losses as a down payment.

Crafty posted:Console warrior stuff aside these are exciting days in next gen gaming. adding to that, Horizon 2 is really really good, if a bit arcadey for me, I think I prefer forza 5's physics and real life tracks, but I highly recommend horizon 2 to new xbone buyers, especially those looking for more need for speed than racing sim.

Crafty posted:This is definitely another stux lie. I'm sure of it. thats weird because i haven't even seen an xbox display unit, weird. yeah the ds4 sticks had some issues, but the new ones are fine now. i expect the xbone stick drift is here to stay though seeing as they spent $100 million designing it and probably can't afford to drop another $20mil on that. also they seemed content to leave 360 pads drifting the entire lifetime. i don't own a ps4 Crafty posted:Console warrior stuff aside these are exciting days in next gen gaming. and yet, still the ps4 far outsells the xbox. its almost as if third party games and actual decent IPs in the future is more important than the poo poo versions of 3rd parties and a bunch of junk and halo/gears of war rehashes. and its almost as if that thats how the ps3 ended up taking over in sales last gen too. weird. i dunno if you'd call the free ps+ games failing to sell of their own accord when they include fez, trine 2, don't starve, strider, spelunky and the binding of isaac. those are all pretty acclaimed games actually! and retail freebies hit next month. what did xbl get this month?

Warframes ugly brother. no, thats the weird DC mmo thing (which is playable on PS4 without PS+ of course), injustice is the fighting game, a full retail title. no they weren't working properly, it was a flaw which has been corrected. no mention of when stick drift will be eliminated or when that 32mb of ram is going to get a boost yet though

a harpy posted:This is stupid. Indeed. The 360 controller is even weirder, as the wireless controller can only work wirelessly. It will work "wired" on a 360 (recharging) but it's still technically transmitting its signal wirelessly, so if you hook up a wire to a PC you still need the wireless adapter for the controller to actually work.

It just doesn't make sense. Like just release a dongle for the PC and sell it for $15, why not? It would probably be a decent payoff for the work it requires (although I'm not sure.) I think the console warrioring in this thread rules because both sides are saying absolutely ridiculously stupid things.

The Xbone controller is pretty good! Sure, it needs AA batteries. And it has to download firmware updates to use a headset. And they unintuitively renamed the Back and Start buttons. The stick sensors break easily. There's no centre button, so games like Destiny (which uses the touchpad on PS4) require you to take your thumb off the stick and stop moving. The bumpers have a dead zone because they moved the hinges. The D-pad still hasn't been fixed. But the joysticks themselves fit a DualShock 4 perfectly! Thanks, Xbone controller -- your $100-million redesign solved their only problem.

If my vibrating butt plug runs low on juice I can always crack open my 360 controller and carry on the rear end play using its sweet AAs, can you do that with a DS4? No, you can't, gently caress YOU brony ponies

It's like Microsoft wants PC gamers to buy PS4s. Wired Xbox controller vs wireless DS4. Every Xbone console exclusive game also comes out on PC while no such luck with PS4.

Hey guys PS4 is getting injustice ultimate edition (metacritic 80) for free and i was wondering how that compares to killer Instinct (metacritic 73) on the bone since they are both the only real fighters on the market?? Except fighter within (metacritic 23) I guess how does that one stack up?!? Watch out for Crafty reminding us reviews don't matter (unless xbone is higher)
