That just reminds me of Subverse, which was basically pitched as full on pornographic Mass Effect, but apparently is considered to have come out a better RPG than it is porn.

I remember hearing about this and people saying that it's actually a really solid game and also porn. People saying it eclipses mass effect is funny because mass effect is just uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

my actual complaint about the ps4 controller is that the mini usb connector on the back is poo poo from an rear end and comes unplugged if you set it down the wrong way

You might have a faulty one? I've used a wired ps4 controller on PC for hundreds of hours and I've never had disconnection problems.

PS4 dualshocks and Switch Joycons suffer from drift. That's the only real problems with controllers these days. The rest are just aesthetics.

Anyone have that ELITE (lol) Xbox controller that's like 200 bucks?

Ergonomics too, although it is true that there is now an accepted standard for the shape of controllers which is kind of unfortunate because it was fun back in the day watching console developers try to figure that one out. There is only one main difference between the two main controller types and it is that the left stick is shifted an inch or two

I can use both xbox and playstation controllers just fine, the position of the stick doesn't seem that important.

I mean modern shooters on console have that auto aim feature built in anyways so it's not like it really matters lol

I got the 8bitdo pro 2 controller to use with my pc and it seems pretty good
I was previously using an xbone controller before it started getting some stick drift on the right thumbstick.
The 8bitdo has playstation-style thumbstick positioning but I don't really notice the difference vs the xbox style... both basically feel the same to use after 2 minutes of holding the controller.
It has a nicer dpad though, and when it's set to xinput mode it Just Works(tm) like an xbox controller does without needing to faff about with special software.

That's funny, I never had an issue with the PSX controller and seeing the xbox controller it seemed like they just took the Sony design and just randomly flipped the left stick and d pad to call it an original design

The original Xbox controller always struck me as more of a Dreamcast rip off than Playstation.

They didn't have a little doo-dad to stick in the middle though, so they just put a giant logo on the biggest controller and closures it a day.

I do, I really like it. It’s got a nice heft to it and the back paddles are awesome. There’s ones out there for cheaper with paddle/paddle analogs but the paddles feel worse, come out all the time, or are harder to program (or some combo of the three)

I remain mad that company owns the patent on paddle buttons so we can't have them standard in a controller until probably one more gen

MS had a business relationship with Sega and were actively trying to outright purchase them at the time of the Xbox's development cycle.

I always thought the same thing, they just integrated dualshock 1 functionality into a dreamcast form factor.

Whatever monster decided on clicking the control sticks in should be a common button is a monster.

Is there a patent on "buttons on the back" too or is everyone designing stuff too stupid for that one?

It’s for the actual paddles, the Wolverine controllers do regular buttons on the back, though it’s two on the back and two up by the bumpers. They’re a way better place to put L3/R3 type stuff though.

I sit too far away from my PC to play with any wired controller, and the thought of plugging in a super long usb cord and using that sounds absolutely awful.

That being said I would like to try a DualSense one time, I never have because getting one for your PC is pretty pointless since the special features won't even work.

Buy a rug and a USB extension cord, then run the cord under the rug

The ATB system used in Final Fantasy IV to IX just sucks. The only games it worked well in are Chrono Trigger, FFX-2 and I guess World of FF.

In CT you can wait for multiple characters to fill their ATB gauges to use dual or triple techs, and you can wait for enemies to move into a position where a tech can hit more of them.

There’s actually a benefit to not immediately selecting an action. ATB is also responsible for people just selecting attack instead of using any sort of strategy because if you don’t act immediately you’re just letting the enemy attack you.

In X-2 it’s actually possible for multiple things to happen simultaneously, so you’re not just queuing up actions to happen one after the other. I think you can even kill enemies during their attack animation and avoid taking damage.

In WoFF you can just have time pause during your characters’ turns and just have it play like FFX’s turn based system.

Nice idea but no thank you, I like the freedom

Plus I already have a floor rug and it goes all the way to the back of my couch so that would be kind of awkward. Having my direct internet line go from my counter across the floor into the living room to my computer is quite enough annoyance already
