Letters are >>>>>>>>>>>>>> shapes. Even if a playstation controller had a button layout and shape that was so perfectly comfortable, it could restore full motor functionality to a quadriplegic by being placed in their hands, said controller could not be considered more than "good." Shapes are just THAT inferior to letters

It's not. It has shapes. Shapes are drastically inferior to letters. It's a shame, because otherwise I might be interested in getting such a controller

It would be excellent, but the battery life on that thing is horrible.

I cannot get over the L2/R2 buttons not being clicky.
DS2 is my favorite controller from Sony for that reason

i feel like rechargeable battery life in console controllers are overrated. it can be charged a multitude of ways and lasts a fair amount of time. enough for a more than average gaming session. If it took replaceable batteries i'd fully understand the complaint but when it can run for 4-5 hours on one charge i don't see the issue...

You are okay with always getting up and plugging in your controller after every play session instead of not having to? Saving any amount of time is a good thing, and if you forgot to charge, you have to be plugged in. So much better when you don't have to worry and have a 40+ hour battery life for a wireless controller.

DS4 is fine. Not as good as Xbox 360 or X1, but it's not an abomination like the DS3 was.

You can actually play FPS titles and not think "man I should've gotten this on something else"

The only, and literally the only negative things about shapes is that it messed up an optional side-quest in a port of an old RPG.

Other than that there's literally no functional difference lol.

Best part of modern controllers is that you can just use a phone cord to charge them.

Shapes are fine but they suck when having to discuss them. They're too wordy compared to "eh", "bee", "ex", "why". "Press try-ang-gull! Press try-ang-gull!"

But the actual problem with PS controllers is stick placement and non-removable batteries with shitty life.

Chrono Trigger. But "messes up" is a bit of an overstatement. All it really does is remove the significance of a code you have to enter during Lucca's end game side-quest, lol.

Or just charge it with your ohone charger. Why the fuck would you use a 2foot cable to charge.

The DS3 is extremely uncomfortable. I have no idea where he got that from. It's almost like it was designed for alien hands. The grips make no sense.

I'm guessing geometry wasn't your favourite subject in school. Seriously, they're just shapes, unless you have some kind of undocumented phobia of shapes.

DS2 was great, just flimsily constructed and prone to breaking.

I actually find the DualShock 1 controllers to be more durable. It kind of kills me a little whenever a PS2 game states that it's incompatible with DS1 controllers.

Do you have to actually look at your controller to know where the symbols are?
