Stop being so stubborn and actually give the DS4 a chance, how long have you used it 5, 10, 15 minutes?!


Borrowed my friends PS4 and used it for 4 days. The triggers and shoulder buttons are a huge improvement over the DS3 and it feels a lot less like a plastic kids toy but it is still the same archaic design. People often talk about symmetrical sticks vs assymetrical sticks but I think that misses the point. The real reason why the xbox controllers are better (imo) is because they put the most commonly used controls in dominant positions. Positions that your thumb will naturally gravitate towards. The d-pad is not very commonly used in modern games, yet it is still taking up prime real-estate on the DS4. Why?

The amount of gimmicks on the controller is also really annonying. Atleast with the sixaxis it didn't have any noticable affect on the layout. This time Sony has dropped a completely pointless touchpad smackdab in the middle of the controller forcing the start button into a really awkward position. I'm also not happy that there is a dedicated button on the controller for something I have absolutely no intention of ever using. Its awkward placement on the controller thanks to the equally gimmicky touchpad has led me to press it by accident on several occasions. The lightbar serves no purpose other than draining the battery and the mic is just another useless add on. The only thing missing is the kitchen sink.

Well the problem with this thread is how you the minority is complaining about a few little things on that DS4 controller that everyone loves, it's drawing in a bunch of attention and is completely pointless. If you hate the DS4 controller so much and prefer the Xbox then buy an Xbone and keep away from the PS4, keep your complaints to yourself. 

I can easily complain about how horrible the analog sticks are on the Xbox controller is, like how it jams into your thumb about a couple hours and can become painful, but atleast I can admit the Xbox controller is still a good controller besides this flaw. You can't sit there and bash the DS4 about a couple features in the controller that are great for everyone but not for you just admit it's a good controller and end this already.


If people don't want to hear me say anything bad about the ds4 then either stop reading or stop responding to me with points that I don't agree with. LOL.. I am most certainly not going to admit that it is a great controller because I don't think that it is. I honestly don't understand the insecurity of some people on here. I am not asking anybody to stop enjoying their ds4. I just wanted to see if there were like minded people that also wanted adapter options, if that is not the case then that is fine, at this point I'm just engaging with people who feel the need to debate my dislike of the DS4. I don't like the DS4, this is not a personal attack on anybody here, this is just my opinion. If you have a negative opinion of the Xbox 360 controller then by all means feel free to state it. If your points are valid I may even agree with you. It's just a dialogue, no need to get bent out of shape.

you can always buy an xbox and sell your ps4 if this matters to you that much.....

all i am going to say...
