But they have this crazy rumble system that is used for 2 games that you really need.

There’s better controllers for half that price

But got damn are the triggers and haptics ever fucking dope (even if they only work with a couple awesome PC games)

My newer PS5 controller suddenly started refusing to charge when plugged into a USB - the PS5 gave a warning that the charge was too high and it made my PC's USB slots stop working for a bit after plugging it in. Glad they made that alternate way of charging at the bottom, as I got a charge stand and it worked.

Really wish Sony would just allow DS4s to be used for PS5 games.

My favorite part about hacking systems is when someone makes other controllers compatible.

In using my Xbox controller on my hacked Wii U.

Lol damn. Glad I'm a patient gamer.

So am I, but I've gone through pretty much every PS4 game worth playing so I want a ps5

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (8 children)

I just got a PS4 like last week. I have They are billions....and that's it. Although I'm really only interested in spiderman.

I guess my plan to hold out for the Pro to see if the regular console drops in price isn't going to work.

How is the bootleg ps5 controller market? I don't have a ps5 myself but it seems like the obvious answer is to just buy the highest quality off-brand at the better price if you don't want to pay more.

That haptic feedback on the PS5 controller is a rare feature that actually adds something to a controller. If there are third-party options with the haptics, I'd love to know about them, because they kind of spoil you once you get used to them.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Yeah the PS5 controller is about the only innovative part of this console generation. The adaptive triggers and haptics are just great. I use one on the PC and for the games that support the extra features they really do add an extra dimension.

Funny because I noticed the haptic feedback for the first time recently after owning my PS5 for over a year and was instantly looking for ways to disable it. I don't trust an unnecessary vibrating motor not to fuck up the parts of the controller I actually care about keeping functional and the Dualsense battery life is abysmal enough as it is

It's designed from the ground up for the haptics though, it ain't going to break it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I mean the counter arguement to that is the joy cons joysticks break all the time by just using them.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't have a PS5 but bought a controller. The first time I was playing a game that supported that feature, I thought my shoulder buttons had broken somehow. I suddenly had to press very hard after pressing the button halfway, and it was clicking. It clicked a bit later that it was a feature when it wasn't happening all the time, just when doing a certain thing in the game.

The touch pads on the steam deck are freaky like this. I thought my left one was broken until I used it in a game compared to the os menu.

Also, motion controls are wicked awesome in shooting games.
