Just buy the X1 my G. No DRM for the best controller ever made series plus perfected.

Holy hell, is that QB in your sig?

Damn right son. I'm super excited about this joint.

QB and Wild on PS4 (eff Sony) are the titles I'm really drooling and anxious to play.

Well Halo and TR are a given.

If you can't get used to a controller then that's your problem, I constantly switch between my 360, PS3, Wii U and it takes seconds to get used to changing controllers.  Its not hard...

I don't mind using the best controller ever made

The X360 controller works with it?

Read the quote again. He said best controller ever made.

This isnt DRM at all, maybe you should look up what DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT means.

That... isn't DRM. Not even close, and to be honest it isn't at all surprising. Why should a console work with other controllers anyway?


I'm not saying they have to build that feature into the system, just don't make it so cumbersome that outside groups can't make adapters for it. Sony checks every 8 minutes to make sure that you are using a DS4

That is unnecessary. The ps3 didn't do that.

1. That's not DRM. That's just software compatibility.

2. The DualShock 4 is the best controller ever made, by a very long shot.

It's not hard to use the DS4. It's not like I'm completely incapable of using the DS4, I would just prefer other options, the same way I had on the PS3. 

For most people it might not matter, but being able to play with the controller of my choice is just something that I enjoyed last gen and I honestly don't see Sony being hurt by this since people like me would have to be a very small minority. Maybe I've just made an argument as to why they shouldn't bother patching this, but I don't really understand why it was important to implement in the first place.

Clickbait title. And I also dislike the touch pad, light bar and speaker. Everything else is fine.

Yea... we are really scraping the bottom of the barrel when these are the complaints around here...

I don't have issues changing between DS4/3 and X360 controller. Probably will have a X1 controller down the road when it becomes the default for PC games. In the past, using a Master System controller and a Dualshock 1 (or an original PS controller) and changing sometimes to a N64 controller, a much more radical change, wasn't anywhere near a problem.



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.
