I recently got a switch again after selling one pre-pandemic and using switch/8 bit do controllers has reminded me that xbox makes the most comfortable controller. I cant never use a PS4/5 controller, or any controller, with the left stick where it is because it gives me RSI if I play for more than an hour.

i know the switch pro controller is considered the best one but honestly I just want an xbox knock off controller for switch.

e: maybe not even cos im mostly just playing Mario Golf with my friends.

Switch Pro is comfy and has a physics defying battery but the shoulder buttons are mushy and the dpad is atrocious.

The Series controller is like ever so slightly too small for me to really use comfortably but the new dpad automatically rockets it to best controller ever made status.

This is actually a legit technical limitation; The voice mix is done on a per user basis, you can actually have different players (in splitscreen) have different voice permissions to different players, so you hear different things. There's basically no way for the DVR to account for that because the audio has to be user independent.

I got audio fine on my clips when I made it go through the headset and speaker. This was years ago so might be different now.

Huh. So then I wonder what's up with Quantum of Phallus then. Maybe it's based on if you direct voice audio to the TV or headset. Which makes sense, the headset is a straight up different sound device the DVR won't be recording.

(random niche weeb stuff is the only reason I really want a PS5 over a series, though the difference isn't as stark as it was back when the ps3 was around, mostly because Sony only cares about amerikkkan gamers now)

I think it looks absolutely atrocious as a machine (we hide ours behind the tv), the UI feels terrible to navigate to me, the media player is absolutely terrible, Sony still don’t care about backwards compatibility, it has no quick resume, no VRR, no GamePass (yet for a few of those). I just think it was released in a totally half baked state and most importantly it only started to get big games in the last few months. I played Returnal and it was fun for a while but it didn’t look amazingly good like a lot of people claimed. I haven’t played the new Horizon yet but that looks nice. So many of the big games on it I can play on PS4. Elden Ring will keep me busy for months though.

It's so funny how different folks' hands can be. The Dualsense is the first Sony controller with analog sticks that I don't find uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time. It's no Duke for the original Xbox though.

Elden Ring kills it with atmosphere, since they've had like 15+ years of practice since then. But Demon's Souls Remake shits all over it visually.

Elden Ring on PS5 just reminds me of having another go through Dark Souls 3 when I upgraded to a PS4 Pro and the only difference was like 10-15 higher FPS average.

It's easier to include AAAA graphics on a ps3 port.

Unless you happen to be Rockstar, then it's pretty difficult apparently.

It rules and you can just have fun loving around like I did and end up with a “lucky cat” that you adopt and it ushers in years of prosperity for your realm but then it ran away and my nobles rose up to overthrow me.

Bit late but if you hack your Switch, you can use other controllers with it. I played Shin Megami Tensei V with my Elite 2 with no issues at all, though I did have to downgrade its firmware.

CK3 is perfect for that, it doesn't have strict win conditions like say Civ. It's a sim where you pick your own goal and that goal can be hanging out and doing whatever. You can spend an hour reading tooltips that teach you the mechanics of middle ages government, or you can go off like a billiard ball and see what happens.

Also, 8Bitdo makes adapters that enable it without hacking.

There is only one version of that game and it is for $11 on the Xbox store.
