Explain.

>t. copetard
dualshock 4 is comfy as fuck and the single best controller ever made

Standardized four face buttons when it's competitors were all using six, dooming us to this awful four button timeline.
Dualshock 4 sucks and sony sticks have always felt like shit.

I can't believe you made this thread just for this stupid shit.

If I had a choice before 6 faces 2 shoulders and 4 faces 4 shoulders, I'd still pick the 4 faces 4 shoulders option. There's a reason why many games put key functions on the shoulders, like shooting in shooters, driving in drivers, and punching in punchers. Though not so much that last one.

6 face 4 shoulders

This.

What controller does this describe?

4 face 4 shoulder 2 grip/paddle + robust input remapping software
Valve was onto something with their steam controller and software. If only there was a version of the controller with the standard 2 sticks and dpad so that people aren't immediately scared off the controller for being too different.

The Steam controller honest to god has to be the best PC use controller I've used. Its elements are nowhere near perfect on their own compared to conventional console controllers, but fuck me if it doesn't work perfectly for the compromise it is meant to be.

It's literally an SNES controller with handles, what's the problem?

Why is Sony so afraid of changing the Shitty design?

Sega games barely ever found an excuse for all six face buttons to be meaningful, almost entirely because that shit can be hard to place without looking for casual gamers.

It feels cheap and the parallel analog sticks are just awful. Seriously awful. Maybe I’m autistic but seriously, DS4 feels like cheapo plastic

And the texture feeling on my hand sucks.

?
It's 8 buttons either way though. Are you okay?

I think he is implying modern controllers would be 6 face 4 shoulder buttons if Saturn controller became the norm.

I still reckon the PS2 controller is the best I've ever used.

You mean besides the lack of joysticks?
Nintendo did it better I agree.

So, less than a DS4? Ok lol

DS4 has 8 face, 4 shoulder.

>forever
The 360 archetype came out after the dualshock though.

I still use the 360 controller long after my poor old Xbox conked out because it's peak ergonomics.

HoriPad EX2 Turbo, but only kinda sorta. The extra face buttons are just LB/RB again. So you don't get extra inputs, but it does make it more flexible as you get to choose whether you input LB/RB as face buttons or bumpers on a game-by game basis.

It's the most versatile controller I've ever used. It's a shame that people were too scared of mapping their own input buttons, and an even bigger shame that Valve never advertised or fully explained its features.

I use my dualshock 2 for everything

Asymmetrical sticks makes it anything but ergonomic, desu.

Ds4 has actually 9 buttons (the touchpad can be used as two buttons, left and right) and 4 pads

A touchpad is a different thing entirely and the home/pause buttons don't really count since they aren't used in main gameplay. The switch technically has 8 buttons on the face, but one of them is home and another is for screenshots with only the +- buttons ever maybe being used in gameplay and usually just for pausing like the start/select buttons that have existed since NES. They're still functionally 4 button controllers.

I don't know how sonybros grew up with this digusting cheap ass controller. You guys talk shit about the N64 controller but this one takes the cake:

>Cheap hollow chinese plastic shell, feels like I'm fiddling with some novelty toy from the pharmacy
>D-pad is harsh and chafes, causes blisters in a matter of hours, inputs feel like you're pushing against something and not just pushing it as is gracefully
>buttons literally do not make any fucking logical sense, just a bunch of random symbols that ruin the established norm of letters
>literally had to rush out a 2nd revision with analog control after being BTFO by Nintendo a year later, and they still cannot compare, analog nubs are sticky, unpleasant and feels misplaced in relation to your hands and the other buttons

The SNES didn't have joysticks.

The SNES was a fourth gen 2D console while the Playstation was not. Are you abandoning basic reasoning in an attempt to defend this abortion of a controller or are you always this retarded?

There are 13 buttons, 10 if you don't count Start/Touchpad buttons. I'm not counting Share or Home obviously.
X, O, ∆, square. 2 analog buttons. Start button. 2 touchpad buttons. 4 shoulder buttons. The analog buttons are used in most games too, but people forget those.

>becomes obsolete within its own console generation
no

6 Buttons 4 Shoulders when?

Honestly fantastic unless you need a Dpad. I typically have another controller so it wasn't a big deal for me

heres your playstation and its controller

Nobody criticizing another controller in favor of the N64 should bring up ergonomics.

Isn't Retrobit making a controller like this? It's just taking forever to release.

It's a Snes controller with handles.
After Sony got screwed over by Nintendo, they took the leftover scraps from the failed project moved forward.
This controller, when properly mapped, is peak comfy.

Ps1 controller was always pure liquid worm shit, even the pathetic n64 controller was better

I'm sorry about your tiny baby hands

N64 grips are better.

why are sega fans always mentally impaired autists?

developer kikes nuked the steam controller and pushed jewish 4 button inputs to further the means of world domination
fuck playstation and fuck “white” people

>4 dualshocks 4 in 4 years
What the fuck is wrong with them? Is always the same failure with the left joystick, either drifts or stutters

So then what IS the best general purpose controller?

And just like all things, adding nipples fixed it.

any of you have one of these?
thinking about getting one for fighting games and platformers, played some 2d fightans on a cheap retrobit genesis controller and it felt great so I imagine a slightly better quality+bluetooth option version of sega 6 button would be nice

I love my PS2 controllers. Very comfy and workable. BUT:
1. My two originals are TOO OLD and literally won't have their D-Pads function. Yes, I know why. Yes, I've disassembled them to clean (but not replace) parts. No, the D-Pad still will not register connections.
2. My Logitech Wireless receiver (the part that fits in the controller slot) literally will not "find" my controller. Yes, under every loading process. Yes, after forcing it into search. Yes, after buying new batteries.

It's not so bad for my PS2 games (hello Analog sticks!) but I literally cannot play my PS1 games anymore, because I cannot move the cursor. Sucks.

>Nintendo 64 follows up the SNES controller by adding 2 face buttons, a joystick, and grips
>Playstation adds grips, ruins the dpad, and changes the button markings to act like they did something original

I've got it
It feels very similar to a real Saturn pad, my only issue is that I can't lean back and put my hands behind my headrest because the signal will get spotty, but that happens with my Switch Pro controller too

get new ones off ebay m8

>The correct answer
The one that is most comfy to you.
>The American answer
Xbox 360/One
>The Asian answer
PlayStation

for me, it's the sony dualshock up until 3rd gen

Why did Nintendo ditch this design when moving on to the Switch?

Attached: wew.png (600x600, 72.75K)

this would have been perfect if it had a d-pad instead of an analog stick

Switch has outsold PS4 in Japan, that's the Europoor answer.

thanks for the response, I'm used to playing with bluetooth controllers plugged in for least latency anyways so for the most part I think I'd be using it with a long usb-c cord, or at least when using it on PC
but that's good to know for if I wanted to use it with switch on tv though

>that leather stool
Man I remember a few of my family members owning 1 of these. Had some great memories laying on them while playing games and watching tv on them as a kid.

Only real criticism I have about the damn thing. The D-Pad is as spongy as it gets. In my experience though even that is something you can adapt to.

Pass the controller bro

Literally top five comfiest controllers of all time.
You're full of shit.

Battery drains too quickly, the useless touch pad should have been omitted.

d-pad aren't face buttons user
