Perfection.
>>737919306t. baby hands manlet
the ps2 had a much better controller zoom zoom zoomie
>>737919306Don't really understand why they couldn't have left this design the default controller
>>737919398Arent they pretty much the ssame?
>>737919306>shitty rough texture on the dpad that hurts fingers if you’re playing a platform>made for Japanese hand physiognomy only>triggers slip if you’re not careful Yea I’m thinking we leave this one behind, DualShock 4 deserves the title of perfection.
>>737919404sixaxis lawsuit pretty much ruined dualshock forever and sony is trying to separate from it ever since.
>>737919306Back buttons are nice though
>>737919306I think the DualSense is better, but this is an acceptable choice too
>>737919306Too small. The 360 controller mogged it to hell.
About 50% of the people I knew with ps3s had extenders on those shitty ass triggers
>>737919519>dualshock 4
>>737919404The ps3 version was pretty hated. Ps4 pad is pretty close with better grips
>>737919306It really was amazing to me.>IndestructibleThe amount of times I've chimped out at games on the PS3 and spiked or thrown my controller over for it to bounce right back up off the floor or wall and work 100% perfectly fine.>Battery lifeI swear I would charge that shit once a week and play able to play non-fucking stop without having to charge it.Compare this shit with the DS4 or even the DualSense and these newer controllers are just fucking pathetic. I like the DualSense haptic feedback and shit but my god is the battery life FUCKING PATHETIC AS FUCK. And both the PS4/PS5 controllers are fragile as fuck. I feel like if I just squeezed the shit too hard it would fucking shatter to a million pieces. Compared to the DS3 which I could probably drop off a roof and it'd still work.
something broke off and rattles around inside my sixaxisonly ps controller that did that to me
>>737919306>put it down on a table>the triggers just press in because fuck you
>>737919306>horns that don't contour a human handHow the fuck do you hold this? I'm an adult, not a 3 year old child.
Remember what they took from you..
pretty much if only there was a way to get one brand unopened I tried and got a bootleg
ps2 controller was better
>>737921485the battery life is because the ps2 controller polled at a rate of 146 to 200 hz. usually by default at 146 or so.Polling is basically it drawing power to check for input and calculate shit (if the hardware has to do anything like that)So the more you poll, the higher the power draw.modern shit tends to poll way faster and if it does anything else on top of that requiring constant data flow, it draws more and more power.lowering your battery life.for example, a PS4 controller (wireless, specifically) averages something like 750hzso the ps4 by a bare minimum is spending 5x the power on polling.wired shit meanwhile, even now, tends to cap out at 250hz.wierd stuff.
>>737922210>parents call me out to "fix their movie" for the dozenth time because they keep hitting R2 and getting it stuck in fast forwardi bought them the official ps3 remote after a while of that
>>737919306the sticks on my dualshock 3 controllers feel very loose. is it easy to restore them?
>>737919478>hurts fingershow fucking frail are you
Why do old ps2/ps3 controller sticks get that weird residue on them?
>>737919306i've used the ds3 for years on PC but i hate the stupid fucking gun trigger L/R2 buttons.
>>737919808>The ps3 version was pretty hatedBy who?
>>737922215Your not supposed to hold like your black boyfriends penis your supposed to fingertip grip it
>>737922597I don't know why you're talking about the PS2/wired controllers when we're talking about the Dualshock 3...which was a wireless controller.
>>737919306There's no good reason for L2 and R2 to be convex rather than concave. There's a reason the DS4 onward changed this.Though there are cheap add-ons which can fix this
>>737922210The best change from PS3 to PS4.
>>737923721It's not residue, it's the fake leather/soft plastic that was used at the time degrading and getting sticky. Eventually it will completely dissolve away.
>>737919398It's kind of an edge case but I always thought the pressure sensitive buttons on the DS3 were better than the DS2. But I like R2/L2 being buttons over the shitty DS3 triggers.
>>737919443I swear even the material on DS2 and DS3 are different from each other
>>737919519Why not make clawing easier instead?
Excessive yet lacking.
>>737925836I really want to play a game that uses the middle scheme. I don't remember ever seeing one, pretty much every game seemed to use the left.
>>737919306Over time, it gets random inputs if you're too rough with the d pad motions. Apparently it's because of biodegradable parts inside of something.
>>737922291Genuinely why I'm looking at the Steam Controller
>>737925261got my controllers mixed up.That makes it even better though.the ps3 dualshock polling rate was even lower.84-89hz.its using half the power I was talking about the wired one using.
>>737923942>your supposed to fingertip grip itFor what purpose? Every other brand designs a controller that feels better. Why would I use a fucking dualshock?
>>737919306If only it was a bit bigger. Like my dick.
>>737926341Ok well that makes sense why that shit felt like it lasted an eternity before I had to charge it. And also like I said it was practically indestructible, especially for a controller that was so light in weight, you'd think it break more easily and yet I've literally spiked PS3 controllers and had them work flawlessly afterwards. I feel like if I even breathe on modern controllers they'd shatter, shit sucks. And also not mention the shit battery life, which doesn't matter as much since I usually played wired any way but still.
>>737926462yeah and the more modern shit you stack on newer stuff the more shit it has to poll and draw power from.have a trigger/button measuring how much you press it? (haptics and the like) thats eating a LOT of power, especially at higher poll rates.its a math game with diminishing returns and people basically traded for minor gains in latency by paying a massive power sink, when combined with some of the fancier new stuff.
>>737922291I remember as a kid back in my day, seeing that futuristic lookin PS3 and that hyperfuturistic boomerang controller, it was the greatest thing I ever saw and my hype was uncontrollable.> t. mid 30s zillennial unc
>>737926717To be fair though the haptics and adaptive triggers are fucking nice though. I just wish you could turn off the LED bullshit. Or even just outright disabled/enable the microphone (not just mute) to save power. I mean I almost always played wired so it's not a problem but there are some scenarios where I play wireless because I'm playing from my bed and the controller usually dies pretty fucking fast. I would honestly give up the LED shit, microphone, and even the touch pad if it meant I got an extra 4-5 hours of battery life.
>>737919306>shit stick layout>shit dpad>no analog triggerswrong
>>737919306The shitty PS3 controller is the whole reason>put control down>kill NPCmeme exists in soulslop. It's a horrible perversion of Ken Kutaragi's vision
>>737919306DS2 is the perfect controller. This one is fine too.
>>737925804>Why not make holding the controller wrong easier instead?Because it's retarded. >>737925959It's because analog stick camera controls are bad.>>737927680None of the generation names mean anything, it's always "Thing I don't like".Boomers will always be the out-of-touch oldfags that ruined everything, Millennials will always be the quippy hipsters that ruined everything, Zoomers will always be brain-rotted phoneposters that ruined everything and Gen X will [Footage Missing].
>>737927348>Shit stick layoutItjustworks.wav>Shit D-padSony D-pads aren'r too bad, below nintendos but above Microslop>SIXAXIS/DS3 not having analog triggersWrong retardI guess when you're an expert in sucking cocks you fail in every other field
>>737919306yes
A weird bomerang thing that causes anyone who touches it to become gay unless they are already gay.
The triggers on this piece of shit get pushed down when you put the controller down for any reason.
>>737932574They magically levitate if you know how to make them do it.
>>737931240>bomerangboomerang, it has 2 "o"s
>>737919306Nah it was mediocre at best. Feels cheap and creaks, the sticks were an afterthought on the original PlayStation design and are too close together, turning L2/R2 into triggers was also an afterthought.
>>737919478How is the DS4's trackpad+gyro mouse+keyboard emulation?
>>737925836This controller was so stupid in hindsight when you realize the stick could have easily been placed to the left side of the controller like with most controllers today outside of maybe some fringe unknown chink gimmick shit I guess.
