DS4 uses direct input so the game also has to support it to work p&p. Use a xinput emulator like x360ce to play the rest. DS4 for PC gaming rules!

It sucks that the XBO Elite controller is too expensive to recommend because it's easily the best and most comfortable controller I have. Controllers are really overpriced in general now IMHO

They are outrageous. $70 to replace a DS4

The 4 feels pretty solid to me, I just wish there was a way to turn the stupid light completely off. I have never used the light for anything and even on dim it's just draining battery

It doesnt have the embarrassing squeaky flex that the ds3 did, but the internals for it (until the redesign last year) are real lovely. the usb port and the triggers are held in place by the grace of god alone, and if you ever have to disassemble it you're rolling dice to see many frail plastic retaining hooks break

I had to disassemble one to try and see if I could fix it without having to buy a new one and even after I unscrewed everything the internal plastic just shattered when trying just to open the shell which was annoying.

The nice thing about that controller was that I was able to save it and the only thing that "broke" was the lightbar so now the battery lasts longer lol.

To the ds3 credit I tried very hard to twist one in half a few times my first time through dark
SOuls and it didn't fall to pieces and I'm fairly strong. every time my DS4 hits the floor I expect it to loving shatter

I didn't find anything super detailed, so I just looked up a disassembly video and eyeballed the differences. the trigger assembly looks pretty noticeably different, and the back half of the shell no longer has to be maneuvered around the shoulder buttons to come off. the little circuit board that the microusb and lightbar sit on also got shrunk down

I bet someone plays Megaman on an emulator using an analog stick and they are completely happy about it. Too bad they are objectively WRONG to do so

i agree with him, good menus pwn. i like ones that you can open and mess around with and close as fast as u can press the buttons, and ones where you can keep playing the game while using it. in other words ones that are like souls games

You gotta make those pixel perfect steps though in original Megamans. You can't just tap the analog stick like you can dpad and expect just a single input

From the previous trailers it seems there are a lot of call backs to the old game. It's a self-contained story so I don't think you'll be at a loss. At most you're going to miss some references to past characters.

Nobody knows yet but it seems like it's gonna be a self contained story it looks like

Something from Nier that was a big big spoiler that I think might figure into this story from what I can tell

You find out near the end that the "shadows" you kill which you thought are demons are the souls of humanity. Every person alive today is basically the left over bodies of humanity without a soul, the Shadow Lord is trying to return humanity to their bodies and you've been working against that the entire game. He kidnaps your daughter because she was his daughter, and puts her soul back into her. Eventually you kill him and doom humanity to get your fake body daughter back

On New Game + you can hear the shadows speak to you and they're begging you to stop killing their children and friends it's pretty brutal


The reason I think it's gonna come back is during the demo the machines start playing random PA messages and someone says "they're just machines nothing they do has any reason to it" and it reminded me a lot of that twist. Also the demo boss slowly starts to talk as you fight it

To get myself hype for Nier I'm finally getting around to playing the dmc games and in the first 30 seconds where Dante shoots a bullet through the Graphic Violence warning and a narrator shows up with "Two Millenia Ago..." and then trinity from the matrix shows up...I've been missing this game my whole life

I only played 1 & 2 on ps2 and they were both amazing. There's also a sort of score attack/parasite eve Chrysler building mode where you just go ham on waves of monsters
