I can't figure out how to comfortably hold a PS3 controller with access to the triggers with my hands.  The controller is just too small, and doesn't have any natural place to rest in my hands.

I always cramp playing with the PS3 controller.  That has never happened to me with a Nintendo controller...so there is that.

But the double finger trigger hold is so.... unnatural and uncomfortable.
I always end up switching 1 finger back and forth between trigger 1 to trigger 2.

[Spak-Spang]

I have held it both ways.  Pushing the Triggers is very uncomfortable for me.  I wish this wasn't the case.  Right now I think Nintendo has the best controller.  I wish you could get a Nintendo classic Controller Pro to work on the PC and MAC.  Or the new Wii U classic controller.  I would buy and use that in a heart beat.

[BranDonk Kong]

DS4 > Wii U Pro Controller.

[Spak-Spang]

I will not oppose other people's opinions.  I just find the controller uncomfortable to use, and the button names confusing.  But, if you like the controller, more power to you.

I really want to hold the Xbox One controller and see if it is good.

Spak, you can!  I use my Wii U Pro for PC gaming on Steam and for FFXIV 2.0. It works wonderfully well!

Thanks.  After I posted that I realized I was a lazy net surfer, and started looking.  I have to look around for something to work with Apple, but I will definitely do this in the future.  I am going to get a new laptop in the near future, if finances hold out, and then I can get some nice computer gaming happening.  I always hated computer gaming because I love playing games with a controller.

You can use the various Wii controllers and the Wii U Pro controller with a Mac pretty easily. They're Bluetooth, and there are fan-made drivers that work pretty well in my experience.

Really?
I just naturally went to it because of the NES Days and the Max controller where I held it up with me top fingers.

[ShyGuy]

Have you guys seen how you're supposed to hold the Xbox one controller triggers and bumpers? The bumpers push in so you hold your fingers diagonal so it crosses over both. I haven't held one yet, but weird...

Uh no, you just alternate your fingers between the bumpers and triggers, just like on a PlayStation controller.

My PS4 arrived today. I haven't gotten to actually play anything on it yet because things are taking a while to download, but I was able to test out remote play in the menus and it seems to work well everywhere in the house I'd want it to. I really like the feel of the Dual Shock 4, and as someone who couldn't stand the previous models I think the changes were subtle yet very effective.

[BranDonk Kong]

Yeah, tomorrow is my last day of school for the semester so I literally haven't had a chance to play mine since the weekend I bought it. My kids were watching a movie on it and left it on, so I picked up the controller to shut it off and forgot how much of an improvement over the DS3 it is.

[BranDonk Kong]

BTW - brandogg360 on PSN. Haven't activated my PS Plus 7-day trial (came with BF4) or my 30-day trial (came with the system) or my 1-year subscription ($29.99 on Black Friday woohoo) but I will be tomorrow night.

Do the Trails first.

I've played a fair bit of FIFA via remote play now, and have had almost no issues with it. I lost connection once or twice, but like with the Wii U Off-TV play it automatically pauses the game and lets me pick off right where I left off once I reconnect.

As for the game itself, the graphical improvements are nice, but largely irrelevant with the normal zoomed-out camera, but the increased horsepower makes the menus a lot less sluggish than they were in the PS3 version. All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase so far.

Posted this in the Xbone thread, but it should be here too I guess...

Xbox One is the new PS3?

Not sure how these links will work for you guys

So... One of my DualShock 4's won't charge, won't hold a charge, and won't stay on even plugged in.  I'm going to have to contact Sony customer support to figure out what to do.  I don't know if I can just go to the store and exchange it for a new one.  We'll have to see but in all my years of gaming I have never had this happen with one of my controllers.

[BranDonk Kong]

I imagine it would be as simple as that...most stores have a 90 day return policy now, or at least the decent ones do.

Anyone play doki doki universe yet?

I downloaded Pinball Arcade PS4 tonight, along with all the Season 1 tables since they were being offered for $15 to people who already paid them for all those tables on PS3 & Vita.  To say this game's presentation on PS4 is "amateurish" is the understatement of the year. The splash screen that displays while the game is loading is in 4:3, the main menu itself can only be controlled by the Dpad, and you can't download all the DLC tables at once.  No, instead, you have to download each one individually by trying to play them, wait for them to download, and THEN you can play them. The table I played also had glitched Goal unlocking. 

And don't even bother trying to Remote Play the game. It runs at like 10 frames per second and has massive input lag.  ****ing Amateur Hour.  My Vita can handle ****ing ASSASSIN'S CREED 4 and speedy games like Resogun like a Pro, but Pinball? Man, that's just too much!

That said, once I got past the nonsense required to actually get to a table, I found the game to be an excellent upgrade from the Vita version I usually play, though you really need to turn off the in-game lights to see it. The Dualshock 4 is an excellent controller for this game, probably even surpassing the Vita's responsiveness.

Incidentally, Twilight Zone is still an incredibly cheap table. No wonder it gets used for tournaments! It goes out of its way to be a colossal **** to the player!

My Best Buy in Franklin, TN had a couple.

[BranDonk Kong]

I was just at Walmart (god I hate Walmart, sorry, UB) - PS4 sold out, plenty of Xbox Ones in stock, but amazingly they were actually sold out of Wii U consoles too.
