I think someone said it before but the PS4 is losing out because all games are being made cross platform to the lowest common denominator.

This is actually much worse then that. This is nerfing something for the sake of sparing feels. If they developed a game to not take advantage of some superior shader or some shit it's not a big deal. Going out of your way to make something run worse is horseshit.

If I recall, when games first came out on the PS3 that also worked for the Xbox 360, they were noticeably slower and had other graphical issues. The reason is that the PS3 was harder to develop for, and you couldn't just toss a 360 game into a program to have it transfer all the files into PS3 readable format. Why is this generation different, where they are intentionally holding back the stronger console so that the weaker one stands a chance? Why not do it the same way they did for the 360 & PS3? This is dumb.

Broke my PS4 controller R2 today - found it amusing that the fix was to remove a spring that really didn't help that much when it was there though...

I posted that fix Awhile back but let me say something. For most games it's not
A big deal but for FPS or Diablo be careful what you assign the button cause it's touch is very sensitive. Make the r2 a low mana buff or something not in a timer.

It's perfectly normal for mine after doing that fix, shrug - doing Diablo 3 with it with a quick draining ability on it (Shield Bash) and it's triggering just as much as I want it and nothing more, shrug. Will see Destiny in a few after I'm done making dinner.

Maybe over time it'll loose some springiness though - probably getting a new controller tomorrow anyhow and relegate this one to "while recharging" status.

I have one controller without springs and one with them. The one without, I use as the main controller for my HTPC/Steam box and it is super-sensitive. The lightest touch counts like you're pulling the trigger basically.

I guess I'm precise about when I bother to pull the trigger at all, not seeing any difference in D3:UEE or Destiny thusfar in actual practice - feels a bit different on the touch though going from the wife's controller to mine, but no difference in play quality for me.

[Keep in mind though, my hands are as abnormal as they come though - YMMV drastically]

Both systems are using the same architecture this time around (They're even more similar to pc's than the last gen), it's just a matter of specs

(...as I understand it*)

It usually has nothing to do with me touching it. It's when I set the controller down or rest it on my lap. The one with no springs triggers every time, the 'stock' one doesn't. The actual trigger "feel" is pretty much the same.

Why the fuck is the PS Store so hard to navigate? Every fucking month it takes me forever to find my free damn games (that i pay for monthly) You can normaly get to the a few of them from the main menu, but i cant fund Dust at all right now, I click on the big tile and i get a short cut to membership options and one of the games. How the hell do i find the old school menu that shows all the free stuff avaliable at once? 1stworldnightmares !

I just use the website version, it's so much more efficient especially since it covers all 3 platforms at once.

I use the Playstation App on my iphone, which brings up the mobile browser version. I just go to Playstation Plus -> Free Games and look there, although sometimes it doesn't list them all! The plus side is you can set your systems to download everything you get through the store right there.

The systems GUI for this shit is horrendous. The PS3 GUI is also slow as absolute horse-shit.

I beat that Dungeons and Dragons arcade game we got for free this month. Was fun, would be more fun with 4 people. Only lasted about an hour, so nothing spectacular, but if you loved the old arcade games you'll love this.
