That's your opinion though. I've had absolutely no problem with the controller (well, bar the short battery life) and have no problem recommending it. Why should I be "ashamed"?

ps+ might be good value with free games you get but i am struggling to play anything on it. killzone multiplayer is muck and infamous while pretty is infamous ugh.

i hate this console war **** ridiculous anyone questions either consoles and people jump down necks.

The controller is a huge improvement over the PS3 controller, try playing Dark Souls 2 for two weeks and then going back to the DS4, it is a great fit in the hand, is very comfortable and is far more sturdy than the old controller.

I haven't turned on a console all summer, too bright to be playing games. Well still playing Street Fighter but that's in a friends house.

Also the fact the Xbox pad still needs batteries is an instant 0 score for me.

It might take batteries, but id rather that than the DS4's abysmal battery life.

Destiny is multiplatform.

I am referring to exclusives and their impact on console sales over a specific period of time, maybe between September and February.

It is multiplatform, but you've said "the PS4 is due a very quiet period after The Last of Us until 2015", to completely ignore what will likely be one of the biggest releases of the year on either console right in the middle of that timeframe seems like a mistake on your part. It will generate sales for both consoles, neither console will have a "quiet period" upon it's release...so don't you think that scuppers your opinion a bit, just a little.

There appears to be confusion, you said "this thread is crazy its like two groups of teenage lads beating chests and grunting at each other lol" so I asked if this was hypocrtical or ironic [given your past interactions in such triads] it was meant as a jokey interaction as you had called yourself an "xbox fanboy" in the past, that's all.

I completely agree, I don't have an allegiance to a console but that doesn't seem to matter, if I question either side it seems assumed that i'm a member of the other side.

Sony have 32 console exclusive games slated for release for the rest of 2014, so I would not think there is any lack of games, some find indie games far more enjoyable than big titles like TLOU and vice versa, so it is enough to keep everyone happy.

I am kind of thinking from the average joe point of view. The guys who mainly only play AA and AAA games and not the niche indie titles.

I agree with you that there is plenty of games.

No one's been called a Nazi yet, I'm disappointed tbh...

It's a great thread really, I had hoped it closed but it's getting funny now.
It is just the latest variant on the usual willy waving when a couple of consoles go to war for the same market share.
Speccy Vs Commie
Atari Vs Everyone else
Sega Vs Nintendo (several rounds of this, Master System Vs Nes, MD Vs Snes)
Sega Vs Nintendo Vs Sony
Sony Vs Nintendo Vs MS
and so on.
Same old vile slurs, over generalisations and abuse delivered at a remove so the other person can't just hit them a smack.

Yeah this makes no sense to me, however if that's your preference then fair enough.

I just plug it in when the battery runs out, no big issue. It also charges in standby

40 hours with AA batteries, and 30 hours with the play and charge kit versus what is it, 8 hours battery life on the PS4 controller?

With respect though, September to February is usually jam-packed with all the multi-platform games. Neither PS4 nor XB1 have a lot of exclusives coming out during that period. DriveClub and Sunset Overdrive are the big one for each, along with XB1 release of the Halo Collection. Aside from that, there's little to be said for either consoles exclusives this winter.

There is also Forza Horizon 2 and Ori and the blind forest.

Genuine question is the PS4 controller really that bad???

RasTa

It's no issue as I never play games for 8 hours so nothing to worry about. Seems a strange point to bring up to me anyway. However having batteries in 2014 is to me. The fact there is a play and charge kit just shows MS want you to spend more money as €500 for early adapters wasn't enough.

It seems there's been a fundamental misinterpretation on your part then. I did not call DARK-KNIGHT an xbox fanboy, he did, it's a term he applied to himself in the very recent past, as mentioned in the post that didn't trouble you, Lol [oblig], the silliness.

Xenji

The battery is not great, but I have the controller plugged into my laptop most of the time, so it is never really an issue.

Not in the slightest. I am referring to the average joe consumer who may be making a console purchase decision between September to the end of 2014. Since multiplatforms games can be bought on either console that's not going to be a major decider for a purchaser.

I am thinking myself if I buy The last of Us bundle now, once I play that there's nothing exclusive that keeps my attention until Bloodborne in 2015. So I think myself I'll wait until 2015 to pick up a PS4.

Magill

I've not had any issues with the controller... however I didn't buy a jizzed on second hand one and generally don't get more than a few hours at a time to play it so it's always fully charged.

It takes pretty much the same time to swap out 2 rechargeable batteries as it does to fiddle around with and plug in the cable.

See I would look at it differently. The average Li-ion battery lasts what 2 years at most give or take. So within two years your going to have to replace a whole controller for €60 odd (or just play permanently wired) where as Xbox it's just €30 (assuming you don't have rechargable AA's laying about the place which cost like €10 in Tesco with a charger).

Me thinks it might be Sony looking for you to spend more money rather than MS and maybe those controllers using batteries don't sound as bad now

ShadowHearth

In fairness PS4 controller battery life is really ****. The only way I am actually tolerating it, is that I got 2 of them. I just swap them around all the time. I dont even play that much ps4 and it pisses me off.

Doesn't cost the same, is my major gripe and point. They should have bundled the kit with the console.

I disagree, "Destiny", in my opinion, is going to sell consoles (for both) so the question for the average is which one? that doesn't really matter in this scenario though as both consoles will see a spike in sales due it's release, how can one of those consoles be deemed to be having "a very quite period"?

Then again, maybe by some fluke "destiny" will tank and have no effect on sales making this whole thing moot or your own hypothesis could be equally off base with no significant swing in momentum :pac:

they should have bundled the kit with the pack in controller but on the other hand controller with P&C costs the same as a ps4 controller and when the battery does die 2-3 years down the line id rather only spend the £15-20 the kit costs than the £45 the controller does

Inaccessible batteries are stupid on something thats supposed to last a long time

Evade

The 8 or so hours battery life isn't really that much of an issue for me. When I'm not using the controller it's plugged in to my PS4 charging. If I do get a low battery warning when I'm playing it's usually a sign that I should get up to see if my legs still work because I've been sitting down playing videogames for the last 7 hours

So you agree with me then? Did you have a PS3? My pads are still going strong after 2 years , the play and charge from the 360 didn't hold a charge after about a year.

We are talking about 2 different things.

My point of the PS4 having a quite period of AA and AAA console exclusives between September and February has nothing to do with multiplatform games
