not as true as it used to be but it's really not very confusing because the dualshock doesn't use letters

It's not that it's confusing, except for the fast action things where they say "hit X!" and you hit X which the game thinks is A, it's that it just makes the whole experience feel a bit more janky.

I've seen several indie games that let you switch between xbox/ps button graphics. Also there are some games where the overlays are plain graphics and people make replacements for PS buttons. Made Dark Souls PC a lot more intuitive for me at least.

Yes. I would also be willing to accept 2142 as an answer

I miss the term "midget bread," are little people a statistically significant enough demographic that buys and enjoys Final Fantasy games that they needed to change it?

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
DS4 triggers are way too flat. They’re not concave (or is it convex?) enough. It’s hard to get a firm hold on them.

If you use a DS4 on PC most PC games don't have PS4 buttons so it'll still show a/b/x/y directions everywhere. You also need to run a program to use it, because PCs don't/can't connect to it natively or whatever.

that program is called Steam

Actually the Steam integration is a gigantic pain in the rear end and causes massive conflicts and headaches with the DS4 software. He's right, you do need a program, but it's pretty dead-simple and it also lets you customize the poo poo out of the controller (vibration levels, light color, touchpad function, etc.)

this works with some games but sometimes it simply just isn't the case. dualsteam4 wasn't compatible with ni no kuni 2 earlier this month, but the third party profile was.

incidentally, steam's dualshock hooks also gently caress with Option button detection for Unity's InControl plugin. go valve!

Steam's DS4 support is fucky as hell and often it does retarded poo poo like mapping the d-pad to a stick, with no way to change it.

I think it's less to do with Steam and more to do with how certain games read the inputs, or something?

If a game has an option to use a controller I'm loving trying it. Mouse and Keyboard is the optimal way to play games but it sure as poo poo isn't the funnest. There are exceptions but they are rare.

Final Fantasy is only good for providing great backdrops and (usually) stories. Unfortunately they make loving JRPGs. Final Fantasy Tactics was the best Final Fantasy because it isn't a Final Fantasy game, it's a different and good type of game dipped in a bucket of Final Fantasy flavor.

Like Chocobo Dungeon.

I've got tiiits that swingle dangle dingle




Final Fantasy is mediocre gameplay stacked onto twee JRPG garbage story. It fails as both an anime and a game, it is the embodiment of, "never half rear end two things, whole rear end one thing."

The only thing that is a bigger giveaway that someone is completely insufferable than Final Fantasy fandom obsession is Kingdom Hearts fandom obsession.
