The current state of the playstation section at Target...

This isn't an exaggeration in the slightest: It's extremely bad. The controllers are built to fail, the joysticks I mean. They drift and they do it fast. It genuinely feels like when they update the controllers (I have no fucking clue why a controller would need any update whatsoever) that they crea

Gen Z Is Cutting Back On Video Game Purchases.

Makes sense. Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony have increased prices on all of their consoles, games and accessories over the past year. A damn controller is $100 USD after tax now for the Switch 2. PS5 Dualsense $80 after tax, which you'll be lucky to have last you a year before drift kicks in. Games (M

Is DualSense Edge worth it?

It’s expensive, but I eventually went for it since you can get a replacement stick for £20, I had so many drift issues with previous PS5 controllers I was fed up and I wish I got one earlier. The extra buttons/pedals and inbuilt options for stick height, stick sensitivity etc. and trigger sensitivit

DualSense Edge or Victrix Pro BFG?

Fair point re: remapping L3 and R3 to the back paddles. L3 and R3 are by far the biggest culprits when it comes to stick drift. I do sometimes like to remap d-pad buttons to back paddles (e.g. healing potions in RPGs, that sort of thing), but L3 and R3 make sense there too. I actually wish Sony woul

Spear Stab does not work on PS5

I see, I use a DualSense Edge so having dash bound to O/B makes more sense for me. X/A and O/B are my back paddles, and having dash back there is very ergonomic for play. Incidentally, I know the expense and new muscle memory can be challenging, but if you haven't tried TDA or Eternal on controller

Comando PS5 com drift

Tens que ler os termos da extensão da garantia. Até pode não estar mesmo abrangido. Dica: não voltes a comprar um DualSense novo. Vai à Vinted e procura por DualSense Hall Effect e compra um com essa modificação. Fica-te mais barato e não voltas a ter problemas. Jogo desde os tempos da NES, joguei e

Dualsense Controller [Lv. 1] Damage: 49%

Hmm doesn’t surprise me that Sony would skimp on the dual sense materials frankly as they are prone to stick drift they want make us see them as a throwaway product… Sucks when my ass old Xbox 360 controller will still work for another decade or so lol

AJUDA !!!

Sim, você é um incompetente, vi que você fez isso pra presolver drift, mas drift de dual Sense se resolve trocando o análogico não limpando o controle por dentro. Os potenciômetros do dualsense tem durabilidade baixa de propósito pra vender mais controles por que a Sony e é uma empresa filha da puta

I expected it to be low but... 6.7%!?

A worthwhile pc might cost from 1200 to 1700, and that's factoring it current shit prices. You can have digital ownership on pc, it's called GoG, you can't have that with Sony, and you probably never will. Sonys great lineup of exclusives since 2020 (PS5 release) (counting the pc ports) is made up b
