Best controller

I need to get a console controller that is wireless for my steam link should I get PS4 or the Wii U pro. It seems like the ps4 would have that fucking useless screen everywhere

No. The d-pad is shit for fighting games.

Use it as a touchpad
>>319852974

how do you do that?
>>
>>319852828
I heard that the WiiU one has way more battery life than the ps4 controller, though I haven't heard whether or not it actually works with steam link. Personally I can't deal with the joysticks being high like that.

>>
>>319852669
It's so weak. I've had one since Black Friday and the R2 and O buttons already feel like they're giving way. I also just dislike how the face buttons feel in general. The Options button is too resistant, and the face buttons are too soft.

I also hate the convex thumbsticks.

I still think the 360 controller is my favorite.
>>
>>319852950
You could get a 360 afterglow controller
>>
>>319852669


I do like the DS4 but they need to enable a function to toggle the lightbar completely off. Saw somewhere that its a HUGE power draw and if you have the balls to open it up and disconnect it you can save 30-40% power.

>Wii U pro
Feels like cheap glossy plastic, because it's made of cheap glossy plastic

It also has digital triggers, what if you want to casually play some driving games, or some jet / army / mecha game that makes use of actual triggers/acceleration? What if you want to emulate pic related or other console games not compatible with a wheel?

> It seems like the ps4 would have that fucking useless screen everywhere
You can use the screen as your mouse cursor, and/or use it as 2 seperate buttons. It's the standard controller with most buttons out of the 3. You can disable the mouse-like functionality and use it only for added functions too

>>319852974
You can change the color
-make it flicker or other show-y options
-make it reaaally dim
-less saturated, more saturated
-make it one color for charging mode, another for fully charged, etc
-turn it off completely or partially in different modes (for instance, it could only turn on to a red if the battery is low to warn you)

>>319854147
I wish you could do that on the PS4. for now "dim" is the only option. On PC you can though.

>>319853159
Download InputMapper. That's what I use anyway.

>>319853134
triggers too shitty, analogs too slippery, and shape isn't for everyone
>>
>>319853134
It feels flimsy as fuck once you're used to the DS4. Like a McDonald's happy meal or some shit
>>
That's not a Japanese Saturn controller...
>>
>>319852669

I ordered one of those because I'm a nostalgiafag. I'm liking the PS4, but bothered by a lack of Castlevania, Tomb Raider, Spyro and Crash. At least Rayman's still here.

>>319854619
Very nice. Some people complain about diagonals being difficult to pull off, though, so if you play fightans with a controller you might want to give it a miss. For everything else 2D, though, I've found it works fantastically.
>>
>>319854619

Almost as good as the Vita's, no clicky unfortunately but definitely good.
>>
>>319854317
Once you get a fresh DS3 the dpad has grip it's when it gets old the dpad gets slippery
>>
>>319855069
Sorry I meant the analog sticks but same for the dpad
>>
>>319852828
>steam link
isn't that only compatible with 360, bone and steam controllers?
>>
>>319855243
It's compatible with a lot more from what I've heard, but the only ones I know of for sure other than those are the DS4 and Wii U Pro controllers.
>>
>>319854862
I might get one in the future. I have a Dualshock 3 right now and I might get a PS4 later for some jRPGs and switch over to the DS4 for my PC.
But buying a high quality controller might not be so bad as well

>Castlevania
Try Bloodborne for a good 3D "Castlevania". The official reboot is shit, and the N64 ones weren't that great either. You can even start bloodborne with a whip

If you want a 2D metroidvania try AxiomVerge. It's more metroid-y than SoTN but still a very good game.

A few VanillaWare games are coming next year too, OdinSphere remaster if you haven't played it before and AegisRim:13Sentinels.

It's about the shape too, it doesn't help. And they are meant to be used, not thown out every couple of years for a replacement.

Could I make my guy in Bloodblorne slightly resemble Simon Belmont? That'd probably be a good time. I'm a little salty about that Tomb Raider exclusivity shit. I just got into the series, too.

Really really like the DS4, the analog sticks are so smooth it's crazy

>>319855482
Well the shape depends on the size of your hand. I have big hands and it sits on the palm of my hands comfortably so I don't see the issue with the shape of it

Both are almost the same setting, so yes

There are even a couple of castles in BB (see >>319857019 )

This. I'm legit amazed; I've never used such a fucking GOOD controller. Even friends of mine who never care about controllers are surprised when they hold it; it's just incredibly well made.

>>319857561
You never have to grind in Bloodborne, unless you repeatedly die after amassing a lot of blood echoes and then lose them.

The whip is also a starting weapon. I'm pretty sure if you pick something else in the beginning, you can just buy it fairly cheaply after beating like, one boss.
>>
>>319854895
it does not have a better grip, facebuttons, or bumpers.

and battery life is irrelevant when the damn thing makes you use AA batteries still or else buy rechargeables for $3o

It's pretty cool, but I got the Arctic White one instead. Looks like a goddamn Stormtrooper. I'd be keen to pick one of these up eventually, though.

Don't fall for 360 controller meme unless you intend to never use that awful as shit d-pad.
Both the WiiU pro and the DS4 are good options.

>>319869409
If the 360 dpad was bigger it would be great. The WiiU Pro has no diagonal part and the DS4 is disgustingly segmented.

The DS3 has better d-pad than the DS4. I don't know why Sony downgraded the d-pad. Hell, the d-pad for DS1 was best. People took it to tourneys.
