Heh, yeah VR is something else, isn't it \^^

First off, check out the new user guide, especially the section on VR sickness. Note that there's a bunch of stuff in there about the predecessor to Rift S, this guy, so if something makes no sense for your hardware, it's about that & you can just ignore it.

Rift S is fully compatible with SteamVR games, so you should look there as well (although the Oculus store has most of the high-quality games), but you should run those using OpenComposite, a very lightweight piece of software that replaces the SteamVR runtime, so you can run Steam's VR games directly against the Oculus runtime. Benefits of this.

The Oculus-funded & published exclusive games are some of the best around, here's an article on those, and another with upcoming games (one of the games there, Defector, is already available)

Lone Echo is my #1, full stop. It's the most immersive VR experience I've had, and the best implementation & expression of the VR medium to date. It can be a bit intense though, you do a lot of floating around which can trigger the oculu-vestibular conflict detailed in the VR sickness part of the New User Guide, which causes motion sickness. Sensitivity to this varies though, and roller coasters are quite intense, so you may be alright with that locomotion. I've seen people say that they're fine with the zero G-locomotion, because you mostly throw yourself around, so there's a direct "physical action > movement" correlation in your head.

Lone Echo has a multiplayer side-game as well though, Echo Arena, which is free, so you can try this and see if you can handle the locomotion. Echo Arena is also an incredible game, but it's very populated with highly skilled people, so you kinda need to git gud to enjoy it & not get your ass stomped. It also has a DLC that introduces an alternate game mode, Echo Combat, which is like a player-versus-player team-shooter in zero G. It's $10, and well worth it.

Pokerstars VR is free and can be a blast if you join a table with fun people.

Raccoon Lagoon is a new game that's absolutely delightful. Has plenty of comfort options to avoid VR sickness-inducing motion.

The Talos Principle VR is an excellent port of the popular puzzle game, available on Steam. It's $40 though, so you might want to try to snipe it on a sale. I got my copy super cheap a while back. It's the full game, so a good chunk of content.

I've read a lot of really good stuff about Blade & Sorcery, which is essentially a sandbox combat simulator with advanced physics & mechanics. As far as I understand it, the entire game is just whacking down waves of enemies, with the fun coming from the complex gameplay mechanics available. Another well-received game in the "whack the shit out of a bunch of enemies"-category is Gorn. This is more of a fleshed-out game.

Robo Recall is a classic as well.

Then there's Skyrim VR. Probably my 2nd favorite VR game after Lone Echo. It's the full game, with all DLCs, with almost all mods made for Skyrim Special Edition being compatible. There's a small but thriving community of VR modders as well, see /r/skyrimvr. Fallout 4 also got a VR port, but I know less about this other than it having pretty steep performance requirements & not being quite as good of a port as Skyrim.

Rec Room is a gem as well, a pretty big game at this point with a ton of stuff to do, and entirely free.

Superhot is a must-have. The "time moves when you do"-mechanic works really well in VR, and dodging bullets like you're Neo from The Matrix is kickass.

Arizona Sunshine is a really cool zombie shooter.

Minecraft Win10 edition is also available if that's your jam. You have to buy the Win10 edition from the Windows Store, then use that Oculus app to launch it in VR.

Windlands and Windlands 2 are really cool games, too. I haven't played the sequel yet, but it looks really good.

No Man's Sky is also receiving a huge update on Wednesday, which includes full VR support. It's currently on sale at Steam. If No Man's Sky makes you wrinkle your nose, give this a watch - both the game & the devs have come a long way since the launch fiasco.

Google search for an r/oculus-search for game recommendations, the same for r/virtualreality, r/oculus search that includes all past entries of the weekly "what have you been playing?"-thread

Also, you should try something: take the facial interface off your Rift S (7:49), then put the headset on and push the eye relief as far in as it goes without actually touching your eyeballs. Do you notice an improvement in field of view compared to having the face padding on? To make room for glasses, Oculus made the facial interface wider & deeper than the original version 1's interface, but they went a bit overboard. Some people find the default face interface puts their eyes too far from the lenses, even with the relief pushed all the way in, reducing FOV & optical clarity. If this is the case for you, bookmark this page and/or enter your e-mail into the notice sign-up there. VRCover sell replacement facial interfaces for all mainstream VR headsets, and they should launch replacements that are thinner than Rift S's default, which may improve the experience significantly for some people.

I've also heard these headphones work well with Rift S. They were built for Playstation VR, but they should fit Rift S as well.

I've read good things about these, although they're.. quite overpriced IMO.

This seems to be the best value gun stock around, which would be a worthwhile investment if you plan to play a lot of shooters (like Onward, Pavlov, Contractors).

That's.. all I can think of at the moment. Welcome to VR & enjoy! Oh right, did the focal length of the headset lenses work with your eyes, or did you have to use your glasses?

u/SkeptikalAnus · 1 pointr/StreetFighter

1) Fight sticks. you do not need a fight stick to play street fighter nor do you need one to be good players like SonicFox and Luffy play on playstation controllers, theres no inherent advantage besides a few input techniques and in some cases a stick can give the game a rewarding feel or the game to "click in your head"
Maxalillion goes into this quite in depth i recommend you watch his video on the mater to further your opinion on the matter.


I've been recomending Fightsticks for alot for people on reddit when these threads come up and with friends in person and i have to say due to feed back though you may not want to spend upwards $200-$300 on a stick but sticks in this range particularly the Hori mini4 and Mad catz alpha though built well for beginners will be uncomfortabel to use or leave you longing for more. i would only recommend those sticks if you want you kids to play with you and not on your big daddy stick or you are deathly on the edge or very skeptikal on buying a stick. if you are trying to be a little serious and maybe want to attend arcades it is better to get a higher end stick as they last longer, preform a little better and will be a bit comfortable to use. i personally recommend the Hori Rap4 Kai as it is very high quality and the cheapest one the mad catz TES+( is just as good but more expensive (its the same price right now thats a steal!) And the best of both worlds is the sony venom around 86 us with the conversion and bought on the amazon.uk site very good stick and is easy to mod when you are ready. these sticks are worth the cash if you are serious. Think this through as geting an arcade stick will slightly complicate the learning process of learning a new fighting game especially coming from a game quite different like smash brothers. i personally recommend going to your locals area and see if they have a SFV scene and ask some of the guys there to let you try out their stick or teach you some stuff heres a video on what you will actually be probably using a stick


2)Since you tell me you have come from smash you know fighting games. and you know they are hard to learn and hard to "git gud" so dont be afraid to lose, the best winners are the ones who learn from their loses. the first hurdle is understanding the game you are playing then the technical parts should slowly be introduced.


This is a good start

Vesper arcade (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql2OZoRrfos&list=PLIhWuF_5aE1_xHpDsJD1U2OgU4ZuAZrxp)



Gootecks has a very good series aswell i recomend you watch this second (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AomsfS_8cT8&list=PL13KoUNKKsK2HQ_nWMR9wUqtwrA8k317I)

As for picking your main for a character you want to play. find someone who is fun and who you like regardless of strength. The Capcom character guides are a good place to see what a characters capable of and a little bit about their strengths and weaknesses for a better under standing (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs4LjNCY15zMKfPmf5M5_Ow9en17ur3BR) a youtuber under the name TrueUnderDogGaming has a similar line of videos (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXrezoc98F7jiQIPgeA9655yxUhRPI4x)



you said you like rashid SF has some insightful videos though they are for the micro complexities for the game they are short and helpful to understanding the game, did i mention he loves rashid hes also not a super duper good player so you will have an easy time relating and understanding him (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3f9nd40434_EJ-CkvC9pmzD6s0exYuaD)


on the sub reddit we also have pages dedicated to characters i recommend you check them out (https://www.reddit.com/r/StreetFighter/wiki/index)


like i said play who you want, but at the early stages there are soe chaaracters that are difficult to use, will impeed progress with complicated mechanics and play styles and worst case senario bad habits. if i were you i would consider giving THIS a glance before you make any final decisions



Another good resource to learn the game and im surprised it isnt praised and recommended to beginners is the street fighter V Collectors edition Guide book. it explains street fighter on a very basic level of understanding, explains some very general and important fighting game topics and lingo such as footsies and meaties. it also provides you with Frame data something very important later on in learning street fighter. i 10/10 recommend wish i had something like this when i started 2 years ago you can buy it at amazon.com


And the last place for help is our own sub reddit! you have any questions please come here everyone will help you out!


All the lingo, terminology and explanations so you can talk the talk on the reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/stReetfighter/wiki/iv/glossary

Adeno's The Innocent Toys Show Presents:

DualShock 4 Wireless Controller for the PS4

Product Description:

COME one, COME all, yes that's right, COME over here fast! Today we are giving the gamer deep inside you the chance to play the latest games in the most thrilling ways!

What I am holding here in my hand is my BIG, BLACK STOCK of a controller called a DualShock 4. Why should you get excited for a video game controller? It's BIG, it's BLACK, and it VIBRATES. Of course, you also have the choice of experiencing your thrills from a WHITE controller. Who cares about the color, as long as the RIDE is heart racing right?

The DualShock 4 is made of quality fine material, but don't let that stop you from playing as ROUGH as you want! Touch it and feel just how HARD it is. It's so hard it could crack open any oyster and liberate so many pearls that you could receive a pearl necklace eventually!

How you play a game can definitely lead this big bad brute into behaving the way you want to. Play a game in a calm manner and this baby will vibrate in tune to your rhythm. However, play an extremely exciting and rough game like Grand Theft Auto and this devil will shower your entire body with sweet vibrations!

Everything about the DualShock 4's been upgraded from the previous version in the name of efficiency and excitement!

Use your hand to trace the shape of this big black beauty and you'll definitely feel how sturdy it is. Grasp it in your hand and feel the pulsating combination of its texture and hardness. It is also very sensitive and precise, it can react and give you exactly how much tingle you want, from a simple and demure humming vibration to the more gasp inducing, body shaking, explosive rough vibration! Pushing the correct buttons will get you the experience that you want!

This impressive tool of excitement has also improved on its charge efficiency. Not only is it harder, it also lasts longer, up to 8 hours! You can play with it rough for the entire night and it'll keep on vibrating without any discharge at all! You're more likely to faint first due to the stress of being shook all night than this lovely shocker giving in too early! But what if it's spent all of its energy? Don't worry! Simply let it rest for 2 hours and it'll be ready to give you another 8 hour round of pure ecstasy!

Not only does this thing know how to regulate the flow of its vibrations, it can also allow you to go into "private listening" mode, if you're worried that your neighbors might call the cops on you due to your screams of delight! This dude knows when to keep quiet and when to be loud! Simply insert a 3.5mm audio line into this controller's little hole and you can enjoy all the moans and screams from your game directly from your headphones! Nothing is better than hearing the whispers and excitement directly delivered to your ears!

Are you the adventurous type who wants to SHARE? Fear not, because this bad boy is open for sharing! Simply press the correct buttons and you'll be able to take videos or snapshots of your "sessions" together and show it to interested parties who might decide to join in on your fun! You'll have a room full of big black and white vibrating handles of fun!

Have you COME to the conclusion yet of getting yourself a DualShock 4?

Your pleasure, is my pleasure! ;)

u/WTFProoF · 1 pointr/StreetFighter

Alright based on your answers and the stuff available on amazon.co.uk my suggestions would be:

  1. Venom Official PS4 FightStick
    It is cheap (65£, free delivery), but unlike the HORI Fightstick Mini, or the MadCatz Fightstick Alpha it has the size of a proper fightstick (though it is on the smaller side of things when compared to behemoths like the Razer Panthera, or the QanBa Dragon), actually it being a bit smaller makes it a good travel stick to take to offline events with you. It also is build like a tank. It weights at least 2kg, and is made out of thick plastic and metal, so you don't have to worry if you drop it once or twice by accident, or vent your anger over that stupid DP-mashing Ken in Ranked. Also because it is so sturdy it sits very well on your lap or the table (it practically doesn't move no matter how much you are churning the butter as Zangief). It is also lends itself very well to customization. All you have to do is unscrew the bottom plate and you have access to all the parts inside of it and you also can take off the plexi on top of it really easily as it is only held in place by six magnets (imo, changing the artwork on a Venom is as easy as it can get, unlike some other pricier fightsticks, I'm looking at you Razer Panthera).
    The only negative aspect of this stick are the actual parts used in it. The stick-unit itself is actually halfway decent, a little bit more stiff than a Sanwa JLF unit (the most commonly used for playing FGs), but it is still good, especially for beginners. The buttons on the other hand are quite bad, they are ok for your first couple of weeks or months learning to play on a stick, but afterwards you probably want to replace them with genuine Sanwa, Seimitsu, or HORI parts (which, as explained above, is pretty easy and doesn't take any soldering whatsoever). So in the end you get a brilliant beginner stick, that will last you for ages, is really good for traveling with and customizing. The only downside is, that you will probably have to spend another ~16-40£ on genuine Sanwa parts down the line (making the whole stick cost somewhere between 82£ and 105£ after modding it).

  2. HORI RAP 4 KAI
    Now this is where we get into the realm of sticks aimed at enthusiasts and serious players. At 91.71£ the RAP 4 Kai is probably your cheapest option to get a really good, brand new stick where you will have to do little to nothing to get the best experience out of it. It is build very sturdily, except for the cable-compartment cover, which a lot of people claim to be very flimsy on all HORI sticks. Though, I think most of these people are just morons who don't know how to handle their belongings with proper care, as I haven't managed to break the cover on my HORI RAP 5 that I used while staying in Japan, despite using it pretty much every day and taking it to several offline events with me. It has HORI's own Hayabusa Stick and depending on the model, KURO or Hayabusa buttons. They are very good hardware, though some people still prefer to to mod their stick with Sanwa parts, but I honestly think that is just down to preference as both HORI and Sanwa parts preform exceptionally well (FYI most of the arcade cabinets in Japan's Taito-station chain of arcades use Hayabusa Sticks and Kuro buttons right now, instead of Sanwa JLF sticks and OBSF buttons). If you do want to change the parts of the stick the procedure to do so is pretty much the same as with the Venom, though, you won't be able to customize the artwork on the RAP 4 Kai as easily because it actually does not have a plexi-cover on its top side at all, instead the artwork is a sticker glued onto the actual case. Overall this is you safest bet at getting a complete, top-level fightstick in the UK. The models I mention next are pretty much overpriced versions of the Kai with some quality of life improvements aimed at people who are really into fighting games and are ok with spending a lot of money on their stick.

  3. Razer Panthera/HORI Premium VLX
    Both of these sticks are great. Both of them have genuine arcade parts in them (Panthera has Sanwa parts, VLX has HORI Hayabusa/Kuro parts). Both of them are really great when it comes to customizing/maintenance. Just flip open the top-part of the stick and you get to the insides without even unscrewing things. Both of them are also build like absolute tanks. Sturdy plastic, really heavy. But, both of them are terrible when it comes to customizing your stick with custom artwork and both are insanely overpriced (199.99£ for the Panthera and 259.99£ for the VLX), so if you do not think that you are in for the long haul with fighting games, don't waste your money on things that are just marginally better than the two recommendations mentioned before but cost twice or even four times as much.

    With that being said I do want to warn you. Getting a fight-stick after playing for some time with a pad is a commitment to relearning a lot of the things you have learned thus far with little to no benefit when it comes to comfort, in some cases even a decrease in comfort (dashing on a stick is mostly considered to be more strenuous and doing advanced movements like Korean backdashing in 3D fighting games is a nightmare on stick compared to pad). At this point in time fighting games are usually created with pad players in mind so the controls on a pad are usually laid out in a very ergonomic way (and if they still don't fit you, you can remap buttons easily to fit your preference). These days using a stick does not really have any tangible benefits to using a pad, other than it looks cooler and is considered by some to be the "true way of playing fighting games". This can be proven easily by looking at the top SFV players right now, out of the current Top 32 players in CPT eight use a pad to play and two of them are currently ranked 1st and 3rd respectively on the global leader-board (though, Punk does use stick from time to time).
u/10GuyIsDrunk · 2 pointsr/CruciblePlaybook

People might shit on me here for sounding like a shill in a moment but I promise you I've got no affiliations with either of the products I will mention here. As much as that may mean nothing to you, it's the truth and I wanted to at least say it.

And I went on that ramble above because the first thing I'm going to recommend to you is buying KontrolFreaks, QCQ for left and a comfortable "ultra" for the right. These will let you control the sticks with more space to move, you will be able to make smaller adjustments without a (significant) loss to your ability to make fast ones.

Second, buy a "Strike Pack F.P.S", it will add easily assignable paddles to your controller as well as turning it into an actual wired control with actual wired controller input latency (plugging in a USB normally does not make it wired, it's still working wirelessly and simply also charging). Note though that this thing has "mod" capability (as far as I can tell, straight up cheats), do not even think about using them, you could probably get banned for it. Just leave it in "tournament mode" and all "mods" are 100% disabled and it just uses the paddles. I play puppeteer and you should too, if you don't the following recommendation wont apply to you, but you'll get the idea. You're going to set the left paddle to X (jump) and the right paddle to Δ (swap weapons). This is going to open some doors for you, now you can aim while you're jumping in the air (actually aim), this is going to let you get around the map faster with better movement/jumps as well as do things like hopping above entrances and blasting the cap of other players. It's also going to let you swap weapons while you are aiming in preparation to use them as well as while sliding, this is vital to shotgunning/snipping effectively. The goal here is that the only time your fingers leave the sticks is if aiming is literally not important at all, like when reloading or emoting. You can totally go buy a custom controller if you want to, but when it breaks it's broken and you either have to replace the whole thing or get it sent in for repair, with this attachment though, if it dies it's not expensive to replace (and it's well built imo, I'd imagine some kind of internal failure is more likely than paddle failure) and if your controller dies you can just pop it off and put it on the new one. To me it seems like the cheaper and better option, but if you really like custom controllers or have tons of cash maybe that's the better choice, your call, either way you need paddles.

Next, put your sensitivity on at least 7, I would put it to 8. Relax, relax, now that you've got your control freaks on this will feel more like 5 or 6 (or 7-8 if you jumped to 10). I play on 10 with them, but I never would without them. This is going to let you have that mobility you need to improve, it'll stop you from breaking your neck every time a shotgun ape jumps over you, and with your better ability to actually use all angles of the stick you'll be able to track these things. It is going to take you time to adjust to this, you've got new weird sticks, your sensitivity is bumped, and you've moved buttons you used to use your thumb for. It's gonna be wack, it's gonna make you want to return everything, just hold on and take a breath. Now take another, because over the next couple weeks as you relearn how to play you'll find yourself pulling moves and thinking, "huh, never could have done that before." It will be worth it. Oh and make sure you have traction on your boots, I'm sure (based on your sensitivity) that you hate this perk, but now is the time to learn to use it because it opens the door for your improvement and the reason you hate it is because you haven't stepped through that door.

This is going to give you a higher mechanical skill cap, you will, on paper, be able to do more and play better. The next few weeks of practice are about rising to meet that cap, it really won't take all that long and the new mechanical skill cap will be worth it. The rest after that is learning to take what you already have ("My strengths are map/radar/audio awareness, quick reactions and outsmarting the opponent") and implementing those strengths better in the game now that you have a larger tool box (faster/constant aiming and mobility), that will take longer, that's the infinite grind, but at least you won't be handicapped by your controls.

EDIT: If you think paddles are not critical, go ask any PC player if they would willingly take their hand off of their mouse every single time they wanted to jump/reload/swap weapons. You will be laughed out of the room. Paddles alleviate most of that issue, don't sleep on them.

u/hhhealthy · 5 pointsr/PS4

Having a long micro usb cable to keep a wireless controller charged is a good call (though you need to keep your system in standby if that is where you charge from)

However, i would recommend getting a second controller (some good couch co-op games this gen) and a dock like this: http://www.amazon.com/DualShock-Controller-Charging-Station-PlayStation-4/dp/B00ENFVJJO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411572210&sr=8-1&keywords=ds4+dock
and then just swap controllers when one dies.

There are a bunch of free-to-play games now, so you might have things to play before you start paying $60 for AAA games (I got into warframe for a while, but it is confusing to start). Also, a lot of cheaper ($10-20) indies too.

Of course i'd recommend paying the $30-$40/yr for PS+ (it should hit $30 on black friday, but you can find $40 every now and then. Normal price is $50/yr) you probably got a free one month card with your console, keep an eye out for the cheaper sales (this subreddit seems good for that) subscription stack. So if you can go until november, grab a couple for cheap then.

PS+ includes a bunch of free games every month, and further discounts on others. Of course the PS4 games are there (2 per month) but often times the vita or PS3 games might be on multiple systems and are "cross buy" or buy once play on any system. Also, go on a computer and "buy" all of the available games each month. It doesn't cost anything and sometimes a PS4 version of the game comes out later and is "free" if you had grabbed the other version when it was available. (happened recently with hotline miami.)

The camera accessory isn't necessary yet, don't worry about it.

A vita is a pretty great system on it's own, but it is really great paired with a PS4. You can remote play the system, leaving the TV open for other folks. This can work on the same network, but also from far away too (I've done it between NYC and Chicago but there was some noticeable delay, great for some games, not great for others (shooters)).

There are a bunch of great subreddits for various games (or trophy hunting, or finding PSN friends) so check those out.

Personally i'm just playing destiny now, but there is already a huge catalog of great games. Just don't listen to the nobs who complain about all the indies. They are some of my favorite games and they certainly aren't slowing down big games like Destiny, but you hear about it a lot on subs like this.

u/smalls1652 · 1 pointr/PS4

Hey man, fellow PC gamer (For over a decade) and I just jumped into owning a PS4 about two weekends ago. I'm not looking for super amazing graphics, but rather games I have been missing out on. So I know how you feel. I've been vegging out on Destiny and I'm having so much fun.

> Pro vs Slim vs Standard. From what I understand via a quick Googling, the Pro's main advantage is 4K support (irrelevant to me) but the framerate isn't that much better and doesn't even apply to some games (true/false?); the Slim is the cheapest option; the Standard is... I don't know. Does standard have any advantage over slim?

Nothing is different from the OG PS4 and the Slim. The Slim is just smaller from what I understand. The Slim does come with the updated Dualshock 4 though. I owned a DS4 for my PC before and the updated DS4 has a light bar on the touchpad and the analog sticks are noticeably clickier when you push them in.

> New vs Used. I know it's going to vary widely by where I get it, but how "safe" is it to get a used PS4? This is assuming that there isn't a bundle with a game that I want, in which case I'd go with that.

I'm more on the side of getting a new system because I prefer new things anyway. I think the only thing you'll run into is wear and tear on the blu-ray drive and the hard drive. The hard drive is easy to replace though and it'll take any 2.5" HDD and even SDDs.

> I'm not a massive graphics enthusiast, but being on PC for so long with a somewhat-above-average rig, I notice low framerate. I don't care so much about, say, 50fps vs 60fps, but I notice 30fps or below and it makes me enjoy the game less. I know it varies based on the game, but overall how are framerates for PS4 games?

Framerates are definitely lower. I never disliked 30 FPS, but it does have that sluggish look to it. That being said, I could honestly care less. Before I owned my 970, I would sometimes lock my framerate to 30 FPS to keep it from feeling jittery from the frame drops. I never really cared about the whole 30 < 60 FPS argument, but 60 FPS is definitely better overall. It's a matter of preference. Now if a game drops below 30, it's really noticeable and there are a few games that do drop from what I understand. Digital Foundry is something I've always watched even before owning a PS4 just because I love seeing framerate differences between platforms. I will say this though: The Uncharted Collection feels and looks so nice at 60 FPS.

> When to buy. I probably missed out on stuff during black friday/cyber monday, but is there anything on the horizon (other than Christmas sales) that I should wait for? Any new bundles or special deals coming soon?

I got a Slim with Uncharted 4 for $269 (On Amazon) two weekends ago and I had it price matched at Best Buy. Amazon currently has it for $249 (The same model I got) right now and it can still be price matched at Best Buy if you want to pick it up locally. Not a bad price if you ask me.

> I'm going to be playing on my computer monitor via HDMI, because I don't have a working TV (all its ports got fried by lightning and so my TV is only good for watching cable - in other words, useless). This setup works fine for my WiiU, I assume it'll be fine for PS4 as well?

If it has HDMI, it will work! Only thing I can think of that can cause problems is HDCP content being restricted, but I don't know what your monitor is and I doubt it will ever be an issue. On another note, my Corsair Void Wireless RGB headset works on the PS4 as well. So if you have a "gaming" headset on your PC, there's a huge chance it will work on your PS4 if it's USB based.

Hope I helped man. I'm really enjoying my PS4 and I'm probably going to buy Stardew Valley for the third time tomorrow (Steam, GoG, and now PSN) lol. It's weird that I haven't touched my PC in a few weeks or finished Pokemon Moon either, but I've been wasting my time away with Destiny. I've been wanting to play it for years and I'm enjoying it so much right now.

u/ArCn_Hulk · 2 pointsr/gaming

Right now Destiny is worth getting. Just get the version with all of the DLC because it has so much more content.

https://www.amazon.com/Destiny-Collection-PlayStation-4-Standard/dp/B01K63R7HY/ref=pd_sbs_63_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=B7TQ95RVB50FB9CK712P&th=1

The vanilla story isnt the greatest but it picks up with the taken king. Just playing through the story missions (which you can do solo btw) will get you prepared for the endgame. There are plent of resources to find people to help you with endgame content as well. destinylfg.com and r/destinysherpa come to mind as places to find help with any activity you need. the r/destinythegamesubreddit is a great place to ask for help too if you ever find yourself struggling.

Now for the negatives. If you absolutely cannot find people to play with after you finish the story, the game will get much harder because endgame content almost always requires a team unless youre super geared/experienced. PvP (competitive multiplayer) is really annoying right now because everyone has great weapons and have gotten good with subclasses. So if youre into multiplayer youll have a little (a day or 2) before you get the movement mechanics down.

Destiny with all of the DLC is worth the money right now. Its got a ton of story missions (most of them are forgettable early on but it ramps up once you get to taken king missions). The loot grind and progression feels good. youll have a steady stream of more powerful loot, and the item called "3 of coins" makes getting exotic weapons (most powerful in the game) much much easier, and you can get those every weeks with some being quest rewards as well. PvP will start off rough but there is a lot of enjoyment using supers. Id recommend it but, then again, it is my main game at the moment so I am biased. Ask around, Im sure plenty of people have opinions on the game.

u/ProjectDestati · 2 pointsr/KingdomHearts

It's not hard for a newcomer to start into the series--there are currently 10 stories to experience (9 console games, and a mobile phone game that's been made into a movie). Everyone sort of talks about how complicated the story is, but really, the series isn't as complicated as newcomers like to joke :) It's just that it was hard to play them all from 2002-2012 when they were spread out across different platforms, and skipping out on one of the games essentially meant skipping out on a story that drove the overall plot forward. But now that they're all remastered as PS4 bundles, it should be fairly easy for fans old and new to catch up with the overarching story before KH3 is released.

---

What makes the series fun is how deep the lore goes. If you want to start the series with a PS4, you should wait for the $50 "Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix", a collection of the first six remastered titles that'll be released on March 28. Afterward, if you enjoy the games, KH2.8 contains the final three. If you happen to get a hold of a PS3 and you don't want to wait, the $17 "Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix" collection contains the first two games of the series (Kingdom Hearts and the sequel KH: Chain of Memories) and a movie for the third (Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days).

Ok first off hi! I'm beatlemnkyhuman a.k.a Jesus nice to meet you.

You don't need a stick

It's a luxury. Sticks are pricey and custom sticks can get really pricey. I've heard of players buying sticks and never using them so some buy them just for the swag but it is no longer needed.

Luffy won evo and went pro with a ps1 pad and he still uses a ps1 pad.

Punk went pro on pad, nuckledu is pro on pad coolkid plays pad.

you no longer need a stick

A stick will not make you better.
Contrary to popular belief a stick is not magic.

You will still have to work. In my personal experience, it took me 3 months or so to get over pad and get used to stick. If you did not grow up with a stick then there's no reason.

Next thing, if you did grow up with a stick then your memory maybe rose tinted in that your remembering being better then you ever were. Sticks take work just like pad.

If after all this you still want a stick:

I recommend focus attack for custom art work and big e customs for custom designs as that's what I use

[the te2 is the pro standard. Amazing stick, easy to mod. Sanwa buttons and sanwa stick.] (https://www.amazon.com/Fighter-FightStick-PlayStation4-PlayStation3-playstation-4/dp/B018AW405K/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1543512575&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=madcatz+te2%2B&dpPl=1&dpID=41vrhKHqO9L&ref=plSrch)

some players prefer the hori rap4 with hori parts. It's cheaper so the stick is a little more loose. Hori parts fully and difficult to mod

the qanba drone is seen as a cheap alternative. Sanwa buttons i think and if not it can be modded easily. Known to not last

The qanba dragon is a monster of a stick that goes for 300 and the obsidian goes for 200.

EDIT: The razr panthera is a pro favorite as well, impossible to mod the artwork but an amazing stick for 200

If you want to go custom from the ground up then you can do allfightsticks. Com which will give you a sleek heavy steel frame or marvelous customs.

Each of those custom sticks will run you 300 plus.

You can even go wood frame which may be even more expensive.

Good luck.

u/Sipricy · 2 pointsr/KingdomHearts

There have been a lot of Kingdom Hearts games that have come out since Kingdom Hearts 1 came out in 2002. There's been the first game, Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts 2, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Kingdom Hearts Coded, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep 0.2 -A fragmentary passage.

The collections are the newest versions of these games. Kingdom Hearts 1.5, Kingdom Hearts 2.5, and Kingdom Hearts 2.8 are the collections. Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 is just both of those two collections on a single disc, but made for the PS4 rather than the PS3.

The cheapest way to get these games is either to get 1.5+2.5 and 2.8 used, or to buy The Story So Far, which is a digital version of all of the collections, which include all of the games so far. It's only $40, and you get six games and three movies (358/2 Days, Re:Coded, and X: Back Cover are all movies). All in One is exactly like The Story So Far, but also includes Kingdom Hearts 3. It's $100, so you don't save any money by getting All in One rather than The Story So Far.

My whole point being that you shouldn't pay more than $40 USD for all of the games prior to Kingdom Hearts 3.

u/Night_Eye · 5 pointsr/dbfz

Using numpad notation: (5 = neutral, 6 is toward the opponent, 8 up, etc.)

​

IAD: 8 6 6 and 8 4 4 are pretty inefficient try:

​

IAD forward: 9->6 (wait a little in between, going back to neutral before 6. the cleaner/faster you get with this the closer to the ground you'll be when you dash - which is preferable because it gives less time for the opponent to react)

​

IAD backward: 7->4 (again neutral in between)

​

Other people have pointed out the shortcut for airdashing - I've always found those kinda hit or miss, so i prefer the above. Up to you though.

​

Long Jump: input: 2 8 (neutral) or 2 9 (forward) or 2 7 (backward)

​

TBH i don't really use this as much as I should(? idk i just play for fun and self-improvement, i'm not competitive), but it's just a practice thing - getting used to your controller. To practice, a good setup is to see if you can do a move/combo (or in this case jump) all the way from one side of the screen to the other (multiple times if it's a far-moving move) without messing up. IAD is the perfect example, start from one corner and IAD repeatedly until you get to the other corner. Do it until you can go the whole screen without missing the input. (don't just grind for it though, probably best to do this as a warm-up for 20 mins or less per day for a bit)

​

If you're open to getting a different controller (it's not required at all, but it may be more comfortable or more consistent for you, it is for me), I really like [this one for ps4](https://www.amazon.com/Fighting-Commander-PlayStation-Officially-Licensed-4/dp/B01GVOFIAA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1537541528&sr=8-1&keywords=hori%2Bfighting%2Bcommander&th=1) and while i don't personally use the xbox variant [here it is](https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Officially-Licensed-Microsoft/dp/B01MSEPQ55/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1537541528&sr=8-2&keywords=hori+fighting+commander) Fightsticks are really nice too, but they're expensive.

​

Let me know if you have any other questions or if I didn't explain something properly, i'm happy to help.

u/atomiku121 · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

So I went into this, and read the article, thinking "hey, but PC has a truly massive Indie scene. Surely, the reason PC is so much higher than the other three combined is because it had so many more games reviewed, right?"

Nope, on PS4/XBone/WiiU there were 783 games reviewed, 20 of which were classified as "good exclusives" with a score of 75 or higher. PC had 450 games reviewed and had 46 games classified as "good exclusives."

If we're rounding, just 3% of games released on console this year became "good exclusives" and 10% of games on PC became good exclusives. I'd say this is another feather in our cap, brothers.

When someone says "PC has no good exclusives" we can say definitively, with evidence, that ~10% of PC games reviewed are considered "good exclusives" whereas just 3% of Console games reviewed (and for this to be relevant you'd have to own all 3 consoles) are considered "good exclusives."

To tack onto what I said earlier, for this comparison, where PC absolutely smashes consoles, you'd have to own all three consoles, PS4, XBone, and WiiU concurrently to be able to take advantage of those 20 games that are "good exclusives." PS4 Slim + Xbox One + Wii U = $800 spent. For $800 you could get a pretty bitchin' computer that would outperform the consoles easily, and you might be able to get a VR capable PC with Oculus' new min spec being the 1050 Ti/960 and an i3.

"PC gaming is dead" I say PC gaming is stronger than ever, and this just proves it. Unless we're in some kind of bubble that no one in the industry is seeing, it's not going anywhere any time soon.

u/GoingIntoOverdrive · 1 pointr/StreetFighter

I think everyone's pretty united on this: you don't need a stick to be good at fighting games or to get the whole experience. I'm a kb/m guy who's been playing PC for over 20 years so controllers feel weird to me. I got a stick the day after I picked up SFV and decided to get serious about it. No handheld controller was going to work for me. I also remember having issues with blisters on my thumb and the like that I didn't want to get into again (this was back in Alpha 3). Hence the choice for a stick.

The first stick I got was this one:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NOAWLBE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't know where you're from but either this brand (Mayflash) or an equivalent will be available. It's moddable, easily, and the construction is very good. Quality stuff. Art is replaceable as the plexiglass top is only held in by some magnets. This thing was built as an awesome first stick with great customization options. The alternative one is this:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-PlayStation-Licensed-8-Button-Arcade/dp/B00NHDSINS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468837173&sr=8-1&keywords=licensed+stick

They're the same thing but I don't know if the bottom one works on PC. The Mayflash one definitely does. Same chassis, much the same internals but compatibility might be slightly different.

I have since moved on to a Hori RAP4 Kai:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00RZ7T8N6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Again, using that on PC with no issues. Just need to drop x360ce into the SFV folder and run it once to detect the stick. Works like a dream from that point forward. If I ever buy a PS4 I know it'll work fine as well.

Hope this was helpful :)

u/WumFan64 · 2 pointsr/dragonballfighterz

I cannot attest to the quality of Mayflash fight sticks. If you're looking at something like this then I'll say I bought something very similar for the PS2, I'm talking probably the same stick even, and the build quality was very poor. The buttons specifically were so stiff they were hard to press. I bought it and a converter to play a Wii fighting game, but the stick's quality bummed me out enough to quit. If I had played the game as much as I wanted, maybe the buttons would have loosened up... or maybe I would have accidentally broken the thing.

However a stick like that would work on PC. I mean, it would plug in, and the buttons and stick would function. It'd just be a cheap, potentially crappy/easily broken stick. I bought my PS2 stick like 6 years ago so maybe the build quality is better now.

If you want my recommendatiom, I'd buy a regular pad like the PS3/PS4 pad or 360/One pad. The idea that fighting games are best played on sticks is a myth; many pro players in every game use pad and dominate. Many theorize that pads are actually superior overall to sticks. In fact, the penultimate controller for fighters seems to be something called a "Hit Box" which replaces the stick entirely with buttons (very similar to a keyboard at that point). What it boils down to is using something comfortable... which I worry the mayflash stick won't be.

Anyways, I'd recommend a pad because they're just as good as sticks, if not better, and they can be used for multiple types of games. The best pad users seem to like the PS3 style pad, which would be the one I recommend since its the cheapest with a decent dpad... though, personally, when I use pad, I use the analog sticks. If you REALLY want a stick, the only quality ones I know of are in the $150 range... stuff like this. It's possible to buy a cheapo stick and upgrade it with nicer parts, and its not necessarily all that hard, but that's a lot of hoops to jump through to play DBZ.

u/vegathechosen · 1 pointr/retrogaming

You can get a emulator front end for pc which works great it's also much easier to play mame aka arcade games on pc vs retro pie and obviously youu have more storage, like someone said above stay away from the packages of controllers, first those things should be 5 bucks a piece, not 80 for 3. Plus you don't want nes controller if you're emulating because you have access to so many consoles and with different controller layouts it's best to get one to suit your needs perfect. If you want to go cheap I'd honestly suggest this controller you can find it cheaper usually around 10 bucks PS3 Versus Controller https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0051MQK6K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_XgOCzb45T1KKH
I use it as my player two but honestly you'd be better off getting a couple of those. But since you're willing to spend 80 on garbage might as well spend it on something quality? I'd get one of the above controllers, and do what I did and get the best of the best for yourself Imo this is the best

Before we get into this, a lot of your questions are frequently asked and can be found with search. I don't say this to be mean, but that you'll probably find a lot more replies there than you might get in this one thread.

>Pro vs Slim vs Standard

Standard is retired. Slim replaced it. Same hardware. Pro is will do 4K with checkerboard rendering, which is a semi cheat but still looks great. Pro should also hopefully allow devs to hit 60fps more often in SP @ 1080, but the jurys still out. More on framerate in a bit.


>New vs Used.

I'm a fan of new, but if you can get gamestop of the like to give you some sort of warranty, that's up to you.


>I'm not a massive graphics enthusiast

This could be your easiest hangup. While some stuff can be 60, a lot of stuff ends up at 30FPS. That's unfortunate, but it's reality. If that's a huge problem, you might want to reconsider.


>When to buy

You missed the black friday stuff, but I think I've heard of the slim for $249? Here's an example: https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Slim-500GB-Console-Uncharted-Bundle/dp/B01LRLJV28



>I'm going to be playing on my computer monitor via HDMI, because I don't have a working TV

PS4 controller has an audio jack for headphones. Or you can get sony or other headsets for the ps4 (golds are good). HDMI for video is great.

As someone who gamed on the pc for decades, I love my ps4 for exclusives as well as it's "pickup and go" gaming. I hardly game on the pc since the ps4 came out, I love it that much. It's not for everyone, but I've had a very positive experience.

u/Butter_Is_Life · 2 pointsr/StreetFighter

The Mayflash V2 is literally the exact same stick, but half the price (or $25 less if you get it from the Amazon UK site through BaconGlock's method) and minus the PS4 compatibility. Feels great as is, and is super easy to mod. Shipping is cheap, too, cause Amazon is awesome.

Although, it is 360/PS3 compatible, so if all you need it for is Street Fighter, it should work just as fine on SFV on PC (because it has X-Input support) or PS4 (because I'm sure PS3 sticks are backwards compatible with SFV, right?).

EDIT: Also heads up, /r/Fighters or the FAQ/General Hardware Topic on this sub are probably better places to ask stick questions, since mods tend to delete general hardware question topics.

u/Akikaze25 · 2 pointsr/RandomActsOfGaming

Ok, sure, let's give it a try, nothing to lose, just the tiniest chance to win, but it's something :)

I guess I would be ok with a Playstation 4, did not own a console in almost a decade and this one actually has games I would care about. Here is one. Would have gone for a PS4 pro, but I think that one releases sometime during the middle of November.

Thanks for making someone very happy. Also, congrats on your profit.

If you want a quick lowdown on whats not on the cheaper model is, its missing the repositional d-pad as well as the dpad diagonal sensitivity adjuster (this helps for more rigid controls or looser controls for easier circular motions). The shape is also slightly different but thats not a biggy :)

You dont NEED headphones, but it is nice not to be bothering anyone else around you by using a quality headset.

If you are looking for noise canceling headphones then ignore my recommendation. For seamless form fitting design and ease of use while sharing my headset with others, I am a total fan of the PSVR mantis headphones.

Bionik BNK-9007 Mantis Headphone for Playstation VR https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0735X5M4X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_yrn9BbPPMBE4X

They have quality 3d sound but are not as booming as total over ear, earphones and do not eliminate outside noises. I prefer this though, as I dont want to be totally isolated from my surroundings.

They are really well made and I've been very happy with mine. They really should have been included by Sony in the design as they are such a perfect and comfortable match. They dont make your ears to hot which is a big plus. I like that I can actually flip either side up at a slight angle away from my ear so I can hear and have conversations with people next to me.

If I had to come up with a negative, it would be the added wires that drape down the back. I ended up picking up some velcro wire management straps, to help and keep everything together as nice as possible.

I don't live in the UK but a quick search turned this up:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00RZ7T8N6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1

A RAP 4 Kai for 88.92 pounds including free shipping to UK. Wouldn't this be better? Literally a better stick for the same price.

Also my thoughts are that unless you're looking for some very specific modifications that even better off-the-shelf sticks (Rap 4 Kai, Razer Panthera, Qanba Obsidian etc) don't come with, modding a stick overall doesn't seem to be worth it. Most of the money you save from the initial price difference is re-invested into the modding process, and what little left of the remaining savings doesn't seem to be worth the extra effort and time needed to learn and complete the modding process. Not to mention the fact that cheaper fightsticks often feature lower quality casings as well.

Think about it this way: good fightsticks are already so expensive for the average gamer so like any other manufacturer of products, they'd want to strike a good balance between profits for themselves and affordability for consumers in other to increase the Return-On-Investment for their IP (which is essentially coming up with the design of the fightsticks).

If it was economically feasible to sell it for that much cheaper, they'd have done it already.

I know the question has already been answered at this point, but yes! The full collection will be coming to the PS4. Here's a few links that may interest you:

u/11fingerfreak · 4 pointsr/thedivision

No I actually know how to use it just fine. I’ve got scripts, access to a PC, had no issues with the coding and flashing. No technical issues. But it’s overkill. Most of what it can do better players already do anyway. And it feels like they do it better than the device does. There’s a lot you can script but why do any of that when you can just practice and achieve similar results? Then there’s input lag. I’ve seen videos of players running it with no problems. Me? I consistently had input lag on every game. When it wasn’t lagging it was fine, but it was 50/50 and that’s annoying enough to leave it shelved. Maybe I have too much EM interference but I’m not going to create a Faraday cage just to play a video game. If the key to doing a good part of what I’d want it for is just developing muscle memory and it’s laggy then that’s not enough to make me fall in love with it.

I also have the programmable Strike Pack. I like that device quite a bit although it lacks the flexibility of the CM. It also has less input lag than a CM, which is what made me feel the CM was clunky. What I don’t like is its poor fit around my controller. If it fit better I’d use it more often. Maybe it works better with older PS4 DS4s? But it’s interesting enough to tempt me to buy a Scuf or one of the other pro kits

If you’re looking for peripherals that will really give you an edge on console you’re better served by a Xim, a mechanical keyboard, a gaming mouse, and a large surface to use the mouse with. It won’t give you snap shotting or super quick zoom and shoot but it makes every shot more precise. That alone will put you ahead of even the best controller jockeys. The trade off is you need a desk or coffee table setup appropriately.

u/Korpse223 · 3 pointsr/PS4

Most 120hz TV's are really 60hz displays with software that makes it look smoother. Many TV's come with a game mode that disables the software because it adds input lag. Also look out for input lag in TV's. Some brands tend to have a higher input lag but generally Sony, Samsung, LG, and Vizio are pretty good.

I'd definitely pick a 1080p display over a 720p one. Even though a few games like assassins creed unity output at 900p the ps4 will scale it up to 1080p and there is a very noticeable difference between 720p and 1080p.

If you have kids or need to be quiet at night pick up a pair of headphones. They can plug right into your controller and the games audio will go through them. If online will be your thing skip the headphones and pick up a headset. Sony's gold wireless headset is a pretty good one and should be on sale either right now or by Monday. No cooling fans will be necessary but make sure you have a spot set up that gives your ps4 enough room. If you're picking up a second controller consider picking up a charging station that plugs into an outlet. I have the nyko one and it has been great so far but I've also heard really good things about the power A one. If you're not getting a second controller don't worry about buying a dock. I don't own the PS camera or a sound bar/sorround sound system so I can't really help there.

Here's a few TV's that an input lag website recommends for gaming: http://www.displaylag.com/best-hdtvs-gaming-2014-introduction/

I got a Rift S a few months ago and these additions were a must imo:

  1. Hand straps to make them like knuckles controllers. You don't have to be constantly gripping your controller which is nice for long play periods. I have wrist problems so any help is good. but just being able to "let go" of stuff is excellent for immersion. I got the Mamut ones, and really like them. There's these Kiwi too which are cheaper.

  2. I primarily play beat saber so vr cover is a must so the foam doesn't get super gross. Also I got a workout headband or else sweat will get all in your eyes

  3. And since i value sound for Beatsaber, the built in speakers just don't cut it (missing bass) so I got these clip on headphones originally made for PSVR. They will clip on just fine to the Rift S halo. They sound fine. Maybe $40 was a bit much. If you're a tinkerer look up the Koss headphones mod. They're like $12 it looks like. And there's 3d printed things to clip the Koss to the halo strap.

you'll want a second controller with a stand-alone charger like this: http://amzn.com/B00ENFVJJO. battery life is super short on PS4 controller and this will help him play if he forgets to charge one controller.

second: you'll want to replace the stock headset with something affordable like this: http://amzn.com/B006PP3ZK6 headset that comes with ps4 is not good. not good at all.

third: give him subscription to PS+. it is a similar service to xbox subscription. it will allow him to play online.


sounds like your kid likes sports games. Playstation has the single best baseball game ever made called "MLB the show" keep an eye out for it. it is very very good game. even many non-sports game players play it.

Hey dude,

I just recently got a pair of [Astro A40's + Mixamp Pro]( http://www.game.co.uk/en/astro-a40-gaming-headset-with-mix-amp-pro-for-playstation-4-grey-307913?pageSize=20&searchTerm=a40&catGroupId= l) along with the Official Headset Adaptor and set it all up by following some YouTube guides but the microphone just didn't work at all so I tried for 2 hours fucking about with the Xbox one's settings, Astro A40’s Mixamp Pro and Official Headset Adapter and I still couldn't get it work, It was driving me absolutely fucking insane.

I pretty much gave up and started putting everything back in its box so that I could take it back to the store GAME UK that I got it from so that I could get a refund for it and pick up a different headset instead such as the Turtle Beach Stealth 500x but I decided to Google the issue and I quickly saw that a lot of people on Astro Gaming Forums have been having very similar issues and quite a few people were recommending this 1.2m 2.5mm - 3.5mm chat cable and a few people said that this chat cable completely solved there issues.

I decided to take the risk and buy the Chat Cable considering I already spent £200 of the Astro A40's which at that time didn't work with the Xbox one and the Official Headset Adapter so another £10 wasn't a big deal and amazingly the chat cable turned up the next day.

I plugged the 2.5mm end into the Astro Mixamp Pro’s chat port and the 3.5mm end into the Official Headset Adapter and I've got to tell you that it fucking work’s and I am now absolutely fucking buzzing that my pair of Astro A40's now work perfectly fine with my Xbox One thanks to that chat cable but just remember to have the Official Headset Adapter set up so that the top right button ( + ) is set to max so that it beeps and also have the bottom left button ( - ) set to max so that beeps too and everything will work nicely.

Hopefully this information helps you out as I most certainly know how it feels to not have something that is fairly expensive work properly.

u/ChuckieFister · 1 pointr/StreetFighter

I've only really had experience with a couple of Hori sticks and the latest Madcatz te, as well as some custom ones I modded. You have a lot more options on PC, but as for quality I'm not really sure. I know there are some Qanba PC sticks for around $80, but I can't vouch for the quality, although the ratings are pretty good on [Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BXPIO1S/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_YWr7wbJ230K0F)

The buttons and stick might not be of the greatest quality, but it's a good start and I assume some of the high ratings come from being [easy to mod] (https://youtu.be/FllbddE4zes) but for that you'd need to buy new buttons and new stick.


If I were in your position, I'd opt for getting something of decent quality now with the intent to mod it later when you really get a feel for using a stick and get your execution down. And if I didn't want to mod, I'd wait a bit longer or mow a couple lawns and opt for a nice [Hori] [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SULMRI4/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_y8r7wb9MQ71NQ) or a better quality [Qanba] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007SGGLZW/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_39r7wb7K0TS7Y)
Either way, there's still a learning curve when switching peripherals so keep that in mind

u/Negative_Rainbow · 1 pointr/Fighters

In terms of games to play, Street Fighter V or Guilty Gear Rev are where you want to be. Street Fighter, despite all the complaints people have, is the game with the biggest playerbase, so you will find the most resources for that game. Guilty Gear has some of the best ingame resources for learning, and plenty of out of game resources so it also an excellent place to start.

As for prehipherals, if you want to try out stick on PC, I've heard the Qanba Carbon ($60) is a good place to start. I personally ordered one last week, can't report on the quality until it comes in, but the reviews are good. If you want a controller and are willing to learn dpad, the Hori Fighting Commander ($40) is the best pad on the market, I own one and it feels/plays fantastic. Also the fighting commander has ps3/ps4 support if you want to play in tournaments (most are played on ps4).

u/rmeds · 1 pointr/dbfz

People who use stick are usually the guys who grew up playing fighting games in the arcade- so it's something they are used to. However not all notable pros use stick- sonicfox for example uses pad, and he won winterbrawltwith with it. So I guess if you feel like you will be more comfortable using a stick, then go with it- but don't think that it's required to play well.

Personally, I use The hori fighting commander . This works for both pc and ps4- they have an Xbox version as well. I chose this as my input device because I grew up playing fighting games on a pad and because it's easy to transport.

I don't know much about sticks, but look into hori and qanba brands. What I do know about sticks is their users recommend spending a bit more rather than buy a cheap stick and needing to replace it other on.

Here's some vids that can help you decide

u/CanadianTurt1e · 1 pointr/PS3

I recommend going on amazon and seeing if there's and 3rd party sellers that are selling new. If you live in Canada, you can try kijiji, or craigslist if you live in USA. It shouldn't be too hard to find, especially if you're looking on sites like ebay. I know you said you don't like to buy used, but if it's from a reputable seller, and they have a good refund policy, then you got nothing to lose.

Or if you want an actual good 3rd party PS3 controller, try this:

https://www.amazon.com/Horipad-FPS-Plus-PS4/dp/B0106XFCPI/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1538624918&sr=1-3&keywords=hori+ps3&dpID=410GJOh2lSL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Hori is a very trusted brand. Highly recommend them.

u/MachinaeZer0 · 2 pointsr/StreetFighter

For anyone looking for a ps4 pad to play with or use for dual modding, the Hori FC4 is down to 35 bucks on amazon: Link.

Link to my original post

I guess that even though the post was getting upvotes, as it is a thing one needs to play Street Fighter games at a price that people would surely like to know about, the mods determined it be relegated to the daily thread where it may fall through the cracks for some readers. Ah well. Hopefully anyone interested in a useful deal will happen to see this in the next eleven hours.

Hope the mods will consider allowing people to post peripheral deals in the future, as I don't think they come by often enough to clog the main feed. Just my opinion, of course.

u/machopunk · 1 pointr/TwoBestFriendsPlay

That stick looks almost identical to my first stick, and here's the best way to look at it;

Are you wanting a stick to see if you like/want to use arcade sticks over controllers? Not a bad deal

Are you wanting a stick to actually play stuff with? This stick is trash (the parts are so cheap that it'll break within weeks, not to mention no weight to it so it'll slide around constantly). If you end up liking how a stick feels and plays, you'll pretty quickly wish you had a better one.

The cheapest stick out there that's solid for the long term would be the HORI RAP 4. It's a great stick that I used for a long while, and would still be using if I didn't want a heavier stick and grabbed the Madcatz TE2 stick.

u/RU_Student · 1 pointr/Tekken

I'm only at vindicator with alisa but I'll throw in some suggestions - Take them with a grain of salt:

In your first match I noticed that you did b4,3 at the wall, ff1+2,2 or f4,3,4 are solid replacements that do more damage and are less linear

I saw you do ws1,2, then 4 - be careful with that as people duck it very often and are usually blocking already by that point. At higher ranks you will get launched for it if the other person notices a pattern. Only the ws1,2 is guaranteed.

Awesome use of iWr2, and nice job floating chloe out of cali roll with ws1,2 I actually didn't know you could do that. I usually use b2,4. (this also works against Eddie and his relax stance)

A safer combo on counterhit 4 is (micro dash), b1, ws1,2 b2, 4. The d3 one I say you using is fairly linear and can whiff

I noticed that you didnt use the f3,2 1+2 2 (then optional DES close with 1+2), Thats a great combo for keepout and punishing

Also learn KBD, Alisa absolutely needs it, she is a poke heavy character and you have to be able to space yourself from your opponent well. She crumbles at range 0 imo. When I learned KBD I practiced it after the round was over just to ingrain the motion.

I saw in someone elses post that you have trouble doing it on your pad, I've used this one : [Hori Fighting Commander] (https://www.amazon.com/Fighting-Commander-PlayStation-Officially-Licensed-4/dp/B01GVOFIAA/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_63_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=KX7N7CZ0874T81FJMFHM&dpID=41enwJFFLHL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=detail&th=1) and it felt much better for backdashing than a DS4 (for reference I'm 6'3 so I have big hands too)

Thats all I can think of for now, I'm planning on posting some of my matches up this week too, I play Alisa pretty differently so maybe you'll find something useful or just watch me get bodied. Also that chloe was obnoxious lol.

u/iWin4Prep · 13 pointsr/KingdomHearts

Is it worth it?
The answer is YES 95% of the time.
When is it NOT worth it? If you've played these games countless times and have the collection already on the PS3... or if you simply do not like the games.

What is it? It's 4 full, finalized, updated games and 2 other games that were converted into 'movies' essentially. This means you have about 300+ hours of gameplay here if you really want to get into everything. Not only that, it is EVERYTHING from the Kingdom Hearts series except the new 2.8 release and the future KH III release.

You get the full finalized version of Kingdom hearts 1 and kingdom hearts 2. You get re:com and the other game that I haven't got to yet.

I don't know why you are saying the price is $60. I get it at $35.00 on AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Hearts-1-5-2-5-ReMIX-PlayStation/dp/B01M32FMUL/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1498326651&sr=1-1&keywords=Kingdom%2Bhearts%2Bps4&th=1

At $60 it's simply not the going price. Go find it for $40 or so.

Be assured that all bugs have been patched (well, the important ones).

u/kuriatsu · 1 pointr/gaming

I'd suggest going for the kingdom hearts the story so far (minus 3) it's about 40$ usd, and has kh1 final mix, chain of memories re, kh2 final mix, recoded and 358/2 days "movies", birth by sleep, dream drop distance, kh2.8, and the hour long movie or so to hint at kh3 stuff. If you have never played a oh game this is a great set to get, but if you can find the 1.5+2.5 collection and 2.8 for cheaper, go for that as they are the same thing down to the bit from what I've heard.

Edit: you can also get a collection of all of them and kh3 on the psn for 100$ USD with kh1.5 and 2.5+ 2.8 as downloadable as of the purchase

Edit 2:
Psn kh3 all in one https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0082-CUSA12031_00-COLLECTION300000

Or:

u/arcticfox23 · 1 pointr/patientgamers

Hey /u/spirit32, I've been playing Destiny since the alpha and I've only just recently been comfortable recommending it to friends. Destiny, the base game, is a trial, you won't feel too satisfied with it. I, personally, consider Destiny: The Taken King as the "base" version of Destiny.

Prior to its release, it really really irked me knowing (but not confirmed) that there was a third subclass locked away behind a paywall. They not only introduced more story with TTK, but also fixed a lot of the way the game handles itself up to that point. (I'm sad you won't get to experience Destiny with Peter Dinklage).

I have Rise of Iron and, while its fun, idk if its a good buy. However, being familiar enough with Bungie, you'll be "punished" for not having it so I'd just go all in. If you can be a little more patient, I think black friday would net you a great deal to buy 2 copies of Destiny: The Complete Collection. Getting into Rise of Iron allows you both to play the best part (to me) of Destiny: The Iron Banner. Previous to ROI, the event was held in "the tower," now its held in a new social space that is exclusive to ROI.

At it's current price of $48, I think this is a fair price for all the content it brings with it (complete collection).

Why does linus act like PC gamers can't game causally?

its really easy for any one interested:

  1. buy a PC for the cost of a current gen console
    using tools like;

    PCpartpicker,logical Increments,/r/buildapc,/r/buildapcsales if you need help building consult; Carey Holzman,NZXT's guide or /r/buildapc

  2. pick your OS:

    Either; Windows 7/8.1 or linux/Steam OS or for advanced users hackintosh with OSX or Windows 10 preview.

    for a smooth console like UI use big picture mode in steam or Steam OS for Linux

  3. Pick for Favorite method of control:

    The keyboard/mouse,Xbox one and Xbox 360 all have native support for advance user the PS4/PS3 controllers will need rebinding software.

  4. Find some causal games you enjoy

    bonus Find some Roms and boot up an emulator to play all the classics' of your childhood

I have the mantis which are on ear. Because of on ear, they aren't noise canceling. I prefer to have noise canceling so I can get 100% immersed in the game, but there are definitely advantages to on ear. The main advantages for me is I can flip it up and hear my SO if she needs something. They are beneficial in that sense since you're not completely divided from the real world.

This doesn't benefit me because I love horror games, but those who are easily scared will enjoy the mantis because you can still out things outside of the game making it less scary knowing you can hear your family around you.

Easy setup and they are very comfortable. They still produce a solid volume.

u/Hellraiser_Fanatic · 0 pointsr/PS4

My reply is certainly going to reak of "sony apologist/asshole". That is not my intention.

Your biggest problem with the DS4 is the battery life, and even though you play it 3 hours a day (based on your post) you can't be bothered to do something extremely easy to fix it? Charging the controller is easy to do man, just plug the thing in...how hard is that? It takes you less time to plug the controller in than it does for the PS4 to turn on!

In all seriousness I do agree with you on finding plugging things into the stupid cables every single time you touch them to be annoying. You know those memes about "I plugged in the usb cable...and it was facing the right way on the first try....winning!" That is a real thing. But why? Back in the day the only device commonly found in the house that was used every day that had a rechargeable battery was our home phone. These always had a desktop cradle charger. Can you imagine a cordless phone where you had to charge it by plugging it with a cord all the time? And let's not forget how shitty those nicad batteries were...I kid you not, there are people who made their fortune on selling those stupid things in a retail store, having to be replaced every 6 weeks, people buying the wrong ones, or heaven forbid if you had the audacity to not follow the impossible charge/discharge practices they recommended.

Thankfully, battery technology really improved, but unfortunately the GOOD thing about that era (the cradle charger) went the way of the dinosaur and for some reason (profit) companies stopped including them.

The cradle charger suddenly became a "premium" ie: overpriced accessory. I remember the last cellphone I purchased that came with a cradle charger. This was over 10 years ago, in the era before phones even had color screens.

What I'm trying to say here is a cradle charger is the way to go, and there are multiple options for PS4. Here are just a few:

This is the one I personally have. It works great! I have 3 controllers, and it comes with 2 of the little attachments that go on the controller to charge it. Nyko sent me another 2 for free when I asked them.

http://www.amazon.com/Nyko-Charge-Base-PlayStation-4/dp/B00FLLFJ68/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1422371016&sr=8-2&keywords=ps4+charger

This is another very popular one, it is very commonly recommended on reddit. It doesn't require any adapters to be connected to the DS4 since it uses the extension port to charge.

http://www.amazon.com/DualShock-Controller-Charging-Station-PlayStation-4/dp/B00ENFVJJO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422371016&sr=8-1&keywords=ps4+charger&pebp=1422371073104&peasin=B00ENFVJJO

There are other options, but most of the other options work by the charger physically plugging in to the micro-usb port on the top of the controller and hanging from it, which seems problematic to me. The 1990's style cradle is where it's at! The Nyko one is the closest thing to that style. And no, the little adapters that let it dock do NOT interfere with the operation at all, it's very small and you don't even know it is connected. Because everyone asks this (completely unnecessarily, as every lithium ion based charger behaves this way) yes, it will automatically stop charging the controller when the battery is fully charged.

There's even another style that connects directly to the PS4, if you are wanting to keep the controllers near the PS4 itself. Although personally, I think it makes much more sense for the controllers to be stored where they are used...ya know, on the couch. But I literally have not touched my PS4 since I purchased it, since I am (obviously) one of those people who only buy digital games, because damn, why should I have to swap a disc just because I want to play a different game?

http://www.amazon.com/Nyko-Modular-Charge-Station-White-PlayStation/dp/B00MUTASR4/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1422371016&sr=8-13&keywords=ps4+charger

Why did I post all of this, especially with the assholery beginning? Because so many people just love to complain about every little thing they don't like, when there are a multitude of products available to make all their woes go away. Even if the DS4 had 24 hours of battery life, if they wanted to not buy a charger for it, they'd still be messing with that stupid USB charging cord eventually...which is a crime against humanity.

Spent $20, and you can be a smug asshole who is much happier in life, thanks to having one less usb cord to have to plug in.

(PS: If your phone supports wireless charging, buy a few of those chargers for your cellphone...and if it doesn't, make sure your next cellphone does!) The only time I plug my phone into ANYTHING is when I flash a new rom to it. Charging is as simple as setting it down on the charger, it synchronizes data (such as music/pictures) over wifi, and earphones are bluetooth. They call it a wireless phone...right?

Modern consumer electronics used without wires...will make you a happier person. Your thinning hair will grow back, your penis will become longer, your belly fat will get smaller, you will get a promotion at work without even asking for it, your children will do their chores without complaining, your mortgage company will approve your refinance, and you will get the bonus onion ring every time you purchase french fries.
Comcast will still give you shitty service...but hey, this new way of life can't work miracles or anything.

u/Rotjenn · 2 pointsr/StreetFighter

Those extra 2 buttons are for all punches and all kicks. You don't actually need them, as you can press all three buttons at once instead, but if you find that difficult to do, those buttons are useful for that.
You can also map other things to those buttons, like throws or whatever, if you want.

Honestly, learning to play with just 6 buttons from the get-go is pretty neat.

My only gripe with that stick is the size and weight of it. You'll want it to rest firmly on your lap/desk when you play. It should never ever move when you do sudden inputs.

I have this arcade stick, and the only gripe I had with that was the Kuro buttons on it, which I have switched out with Sanwa buttons. I recommend it, but know that it will take you a while to get used to a stick. You'll suck for days if not weeks.

u/Nokel · 1 pointr/FIFA

The sticks aren't too bad to get used to but I think the controller overall is a bit too short height-wise (ie. where I rest the palms of my hands to where my fingers lay over the triggers). On Xbox 360 my fingertips fit perfectly on the triggers so that my fingertips were on top of the buttons, but on PS4 my fingertips are almost completely off the trigger buttons (ie. having off them past the first knuckle) and I either have to move my fingers back so I can press the L1 or R1 buttons or I have to keep my fingers completely off the side of the controller so my fingertips lay on L2/R2.

It's not awful for stuff like Shadow of Mordor (where time slows down when I need to use L2/R2) but I think I'll have to buy this controller in order to play FIFA comfortably.

Assuming you have a PS3 or PS4, Birth By Sleep is in the Kingdom Hearts 2.5 collection.

They put Kingdom Hearts Final Mix and Chain of Memories into the 1.5 collection for PS3.

Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix and Birth By Sleep Final Mix in 2.5 for PS3.

And then they did Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 together for PS4.

Sorry its so complicated.

u/tattybojan9les · 2 pointsr/Fighters

Arcade world uk sell decent sticks and parts, generally Qanba are a pretty good way to go. There's a good deal on the Q4 which is a a little over budget but honestly its not a bad deal for a new stick.

Here's a Qanba if you're only looking to use it only on pc Be careful as it doesn't use Sanwa or Seimitsu parts, so the reliability of the controls may be a cause for concern.

Here's a Hori stick thats a little over budget but very much will suffice. Just be sure to use it in PS3 mode if you're on PC.

Otherwise look on ebay for second hand sticks, look for Hori and some Madcatz TEs.

If you're just getting into it there's a few budget minded sticks that you can go for like the fightstick alpha or the Hori mini. I wouldn't recommend them if you really want to get into fighting games, but if you get the for under £40 its not a bad thing to invest in to see if you're interested.

u/MogwaiInjustice · 2 pointsr/StreetFighter

I don't have that but I just got the version previous to that and one thing to realize is that if you've already been playing with the PS4 controller for a bit you're muscle memory is going to be thrown off a ton. You will be worse before you're better.

I'm starting to get used to it now and starting to realize the pros. It has a better d-pad I can use more accurately, better button layout for fighters with all 6 buttons up front and the right triggers make for easy EX/V-reversals, and overall more comfortable. I prefer using it but I wouldn't say I'm appreciably better at the game having it.

u/stop_drop_rofl · 3 pointsr/PS4

No third party controllers, but you could try getting either new thumbsticks (Xbox One thumbsticks fit perfectly), or you could get a thumbstick cover.

Ive used GelTabz before and liked them. They add a good amount of gel thickness that should make clicking the joystick more pleasant.

Grip-It thumbstick covers are also considered very good.

I have the PS4 FC4 coupled with a Brook converter. The FC4 allows changing the orientation degree of the D-pad which is awesome to enhance directional comfort. Will this Xbox FC version include the same feature? I see it is also missing the extended left palm rest which is also really comfortable.

"This pad is a pure performer with the industry's best D-Pad" - uh we'll see about that...

IMO this is the best fight pad to date; great build quality and useful features: https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation/dp/B00TKLFES8/ref=sr_1_4?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1486249887&sr=1-4&keywords=HORI+Fighting+Commander

u/DontPoke · 3 pointsr/StreetFighter

As far as prices on the Amazon US go:

The Hori Fighting Commander 4 has universally positive reviews, is compatible with PS4, and now it's discounted to $30.

The Qanba Q1 is a very good budget choice for sticks, costs $80, proprietary but good quality parts (can be modded later), and is compatible with PS4 SFV in legacy mode.

For higher-end, there is the Hori RAP 4 for $150, PS4 compatibility, quality Hori stick and buttons, pretty much the best you can get ($200 on MadCatz TE2 is not worth)

Or you could try the used route, I bet there are many people selling their old but good sticks on eBay because of PS4.

I'm really excited to be joining the SF community, I've always watched with interest from the Smash Bros side of venues and figured now would be a good time to bridge the gap and try it out! I'm also lucky to have a few friends who are willing to teach me the game and hopefully be practice partners as I learn the ins-and-outs of true 2D fighters.

The most important part of shot gun aiming, on a controller, is the ability to put jump onto your left hand, meaning you can aim and jump at the same time. Taking your thumb off the analogue to jump and then swiping the stick to try and aim again is really un-efficient way of aiming.

You will need: A scuff, battle beaver, XBOne Elite controller, doesn’t matter. Personally I use the FPS Strikepack Dominator, for my PS4, and it’s absolutely amazing. Heres the link to what I use.

Using the FPS I am able to set my left paddle/button on the back of the control to jump. So i can jump using my left ring finger without taking my right thumb off of the aim stick. It took me 3 days or about 8hours to get used to the extra button, but without a doubt, my aiming and shotgun confidence has improved massively. Judging on my aiming vs others, Id say as a rough guess that about 30-40% of players on console have the extra button. And these buttons are legal in MLG. If your Xbox, maybe look at an Xbox Elite controller, or PS I highly recommend what I use. Or just get a Scuff, but personally I think they are way to expensive for what they are.


This video will show you an example and is what convinced me... Skip to 3:30 to see it in use

For the price of a Scuff, I bought myself a brand new PS4 v2 controller in Steel Black, the FPS Strikepack Mod, and I can replace either one if they break and will still have spent less.

Kingdom Hearts 2.8

All the games are on the PS4 for you to play. 1.5 refers to the Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Re:Chain of Memories and the 358/2 Days as a cutscene movie. 2.5 is Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix, Birth By Sleep: Final Mix and Re:Coded as a cutscene movie.

  1. Playstation 4 Controller My secret Santa got me a Sony Blu-Ray player for the Christmas exchange. With a PS 4 Controller I can access hundreds of PS 3 games to play.

  2. Rise of the Tomb Raider for Xbox 360. I am a huge Tomb Raider fan. My current PC can't run the most recent game but I do have a Xbox 360.

  3. Skylanders Trap Team: Kaos Trap. I am a big fan of Skylanders. The Kaos Trap is the last trap I need. Still need the [Light Expansion] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QU506JY/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2U7TJSOOKGSUC&coliid=I10SQW2SJNJLYI) $70 and Dark Expansion $90 but those are way to expensive.

  4. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for the Wii. I have the older Wii system and I love the Mario and Zelda games. This one is high on my wish list but just to expensive for me currently.

  5. Light Blue Yarn Yoshi Amiibo. I don't have a Wii U or the game but this Yarn Yoshi is just so cute and adorable. You can't just say no to such cuteness. I want one for my collection.

If story is important to you, you will be absolutely lost. If understanding plot is vital to your enjoyment, I can't recommend it. You definitely need to play the other games first for any of the emotional payoff to mean anything.

The 1.5, 2.5, and 2.8 collections are an amazing value and could offer a couple hundred hours of value if you find yourself doing optional content. The Story So Far has all of that in one package (if you can find a copy) for about $40. It's fantastic.

Years ago I used to just use a PS1/PS2 pad with a converter.

u/-dPhidt · 1 pointr/StreetFighter

I'm looking for a stick to play UMvC3 and SFV on PC. This mayflash stick is pretty cheap and is the amazon recommended one, but my buddies who play the games recommend this hori one. I've used the xbox/pc version of the stick that my buds recommend and I really like it, but I want to know if it's worth it. Any suggestions?

u/CkPhX · 2 pointsr/Fighters

It's okay. I sometimes fuck myself up by hitting the middle of button of the DS Pad (cause I fat finger it), but other than that it's just like any other pad. I'm hoping they port PS3 TE sticks for the PS4 SF5, but I'm not holding my breath. PS: Battery life blows on the DS4.

For setting it up at events, it's not complicated as long as people disconnect the DS4 that they connected. Pretty much someone else can make it super complicated for everyone else.

Edit: If you're looking for a alternative pad you could maybe look into something like this http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8/

It was on sale the other day for $29, so you could either get it asap or wait for it to go on sale again.

u/pizzaghoul · 2 pointsr/PS4

Yes, yes, and yes. They also make this controller that I used to make the jump in March. I very quickly got used to the newer one though, as I loved the kitchyness of the touchpad and the speaker and the motion aspects. Like, in Infamous: Second Son, you have to shake the controller and move it around to spray graffiti. Its so cool. But here is the controller that feels like the Xbox one: https://www.amazon.com/Horipad-FPS-Plus/dp/B0106XFCPI/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1498607773&sr=1-1&keywords=Horipad+fps

EDIT: Also, I literally sold my new PS4 and bought a Pro like a month after and the difference even on a non 4K tv is worth the extra hundo. The FPS improvements are night and day in some games.

u/Ajedi32 · 2 pointsr/oculus

Annoying yes, but seems like that'll be pretty easy to fix with an accessory if it really bothers you: https://www.amazon.com/Bionik-BNK-9007-Mantis-Headphone-Playstation/dp/B0735X5M4X/

The bigger concern for me is tracking occlusion, as I play a lot of Echo Arena (which should be pretty much the worst-case scenario for inside-out tracking). If it turns out that tracking is "good enough" even for Echo Arena or if Oculus adds an option for outside-in then I'll be seriously considering the Rift S.

u/10000_vegetables · 2 pointsr/virtualreality

When you get your unit make sure you know how to adjust the eye relief (it's in the manual). Apparently some people never realized they could get better FOV and clarity until a lot later. For software, OpenVR Advanced Settings and Oculus Tray Tool are handy things to have. VrCover is almost done developing their Rift S cover (i've been waiting so long for it), so keep your eyes peeled for that or sign up to get an email about it when they're done. Also you should get OpenComposite for those times when you want to run a SteamVR game that isn't working or has bad performance.

There's a big chance you won't like the built-in audio. If you do end up liking it, awesome, but if you don't, it's easy to upgrade it. If you don't want to spend much, you can't go wrong with Koss KSC75 headphones ($15). Plug em into the side of the headset and you're good to go, but you can take out the built in speakers and have them hang down using this mod or this mod (personally I did the latter). If you're willing to spend more, the PSVR Mantis headphones ($41.91) seems nice and easy to install and use.

u/YouAreSalty · 1 pointr/xboxone

I understand the technology behind this, so you don't need to re-explain it to me (although I appreciate the effort). What you are describing, that advantage needs to show actual evidence of significant gain. I think people some thing get hung up on the details, and forget that this is a game, this minute details are for the ultra competitive that most of us aren't in. Does this actually result in a statistical difference that matters? More importantly, is the user bothered by this?

For me, I probably don't care, because I couldn't tell in an encounter if they were running at a higher frame rate. It just looks like they pulled the trigger before I did.

Take for instance instead, kb/m in Gears 4 (since that is what I play). Whenever somebody abuses the kb/m advantage, I can instantly tell, because the game wasn't balanced properly between controller and kb/m. This means, kb/m users can instantly get one shot kills much easier with sniper and huge advantage with boltok/hammerburst. You go do so fast. This is a significant imbalance that frustrates me when they abuse it, so I turn off crossplay. However, there are people that uses adapters to connect kb/m to the console to gain that advantage.

>The kb/m is in fact cheaper than controller, unless they plan on releasing a ''official'' kb/m for no reason whatsoever then put a pricetag of 100 dollars, wich i don't doubt but there will be support for standard kb\m i hope atleast.

I don't think you understand what I mean. In order to connect kb/m to a console, you have to get an adapter from third party that is not sanctioned (and considered cheating). It cost $150:

https://www.amazon.com/Keyboard-Mouse-Adapter-Xbox-playstation-4/dp/B00MG654FM

I wish MS would just crack down on that, but there are disabled gamers that use this for legitimate reasons.

u/Freakysheikh · 1 pointr/PS4

It’s a little usb stick that lets you use a certain controller on a console. For me i have the Xbox elite controller but started to play more on the PS4 over the last year or so. I decided to use my elite and it works great just plug and play. Only issue is an update from Sony could break the compatibility. It rarely happens but it happened this time. The company is usually pretty quick about updating the software for the converter.

If you want to take a look

u/Larry_Mudd · 2 pointsr/oculus

These things! Designed for the PSVR headset, but they fit the Rift S halo fine.

I think they're worth it - makes the Rift S "almost as good" as OG Rift, audio wise. They touch my ears more than the CV1 headphones did, which annoyed me at first but doesn't bother me any more. I think the sound quality on the Rift was maybe a bit better, too, but it's hard to say as it had been boxed up for a month before I started using these. For sure night and day compared with the Rift S' built-in audio, though.

They cost less than half of that in the U.S. so a better value if you happen to be on that side of the border.

u/jonnyboywonder · 1 pointr/DestinyTheGame

You arent buying the correct collection. It should be around 60$ and include ALL dlcs. see here
The game is super fun to play with people and so if you are playing alone you will find it hard to stay up to date with the highest level stuff without using 3rd party lfg programs. It is heavily reliant on guns rather than abilities but at thwe same time the game feels very different depending on which class/subclass of abilities you are using. If you can find a friend or two to play it with i highly recommend it

u/ZambonieDrivor · 3 pointsr/PS4

PowerA Charging Station - 2 controllers, not little kid friendly, as it has a spring to load/unload the controller and kids will just pull it off. If the spring is in the incorrect position, it can be difficult to put the controller on charge.

Collective Minds PSVR Stand and Charging Station - 2 controllers, 2 move controllers, and 1 USB slot for headset or PSVR AIM controller.

PlayStation Platinum Headset - Went through 2 PS Gold headsets due to weak plastic frame. Platinums feel more sturdy. Haven't used too much to test durability. Great sound, but I am not an audiophobe.

PSVR AIM Controller - Got it bundled with Firewatch. Read that it felt good in hands. I thought it felt a little awkward, but definitely easy enough to use. Just have to get used to the button layout.

AC Infinity Fans - These are 80mm fans. It comes with 2 fans in parallel that are powered over USB. I don't use my PS4's USBs, because those are taken up with other accessories, so I have it attached to my surround sound receiver. One fan pulling air from the back of the Pro, and the other directing the fan out of the shelf area. I recommend these, as I've noticed the spin up on my Pro has significantly went down.

u/JohnRobertMatz · 3 pointsr/OculusQuest

I'm a bit of an audiophile (my job requires it, after all) and I'm really liking the Bionik Mantis headphones. They're designed to clip onto the halo of the PSVR headset, and they just barely fit onto the Quest without modification (just make sure you put them on the correct sides or you'll have a devil of a time taking them off again). They work stupendously well, and they keep all of the convenience of function of just slipping the headset on and off, without having to deal with extra elements, since they effectively integrate into the headstrap, like the OC Rift or Vive Deluxe Audiostrap.
After reading a very detailed breakdown from a friend involved with the design of the audio systems for Valve's Index headset, I'm rather liking the philosophy of on-ear headphones, or near-head speakers as opposed to total isolation or earbuds.
Anyway, long story short, the Mantis does a really great job. Highly recommended.

It just plugs into any wall outlet. Plus it looks nice enough that I can leave it on the entertainment center and not worry about hiding the controllers. You can even "rest" the controllers on top without clicking them in to charge.

u/Spockrocket · 2 pointsr/PS4

If you want to use an actual stick, I'd say it's probably not worth getting the Alpha. Miniature sticks such as the Alpha and the Hori Fighting Stick Mini tend to be uncomfortable to use for extended periods of time, and are made using lower quality parts than full-size sticks. If you want a stick, the cheapest one I'd recommend would probably be the Qanba Carbon. I own one and it's a fairly nice stick for beginners. Technically it's not a PS4 controller, but Street Fighter 5 and a few other games support it in Legacy Mode. Check to see if the other fighting games you have support Legacy controllers. If they do, this is a great option for your price range. Otherwise, your next best bet is probably the Qanba Drone.

If you want a pad, the revamped fightpad pro is a good choice. I've never used one but the new model has gotten significantly better reviews than the problematic previous model. Personally I went with the Hori FC4, but the price has gone significantly up since that model isn't being manufactured anymore. The newer model is only $40 though, so that fits in your budget.

u/Hehe_EkssDEee · 1 pointr/Guiltygear

I got this one a year ago it came into around a 100 dolars. Its lasted a year and its in perfect condition, for a budget stick its of excellent quality and is insanely easy to customise. I'd definitely recommend this stick to any beginner or anyone on a budget.
The buttons are good but definitely not of Sanwa quality but if you really want higher quality buttons its fairly cheap and easy to switch.
It's compatible with pc and ps4/ps3.

I have two fightsticks. The first one I bought was a cheap Hori one, which wasn't particularly that good. Then I got this bad boy and have never looked back: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-PlayStation-Licensed-8-Button-Arcade/dp/B00NHDSINS/ref=sr_1_5?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1520770477&sr=1-5&keywords=fightstick

It's not the flashiest fight stick with lots of extra buttons/functionalities, but it's rock solid and incredibly comfortable/responsive to play with. Plus it's pretty reasonably priced as well.

But yeah, I would suggest doing some research before you invest. See what others recommend and make a budget for how much you're willing to invest.

u/StatSemita · 4 pointsr/dbfz

Find one of these.

I particularly like the 4 over the newer version. I hold the controller with my left hand normally, but rest my right hand on my leg and use the face buttons like a stick. Best of all worlds, imo.

u/lews0r · 1 pointr/StreetFighter

A great starter stick is the Venom although it probably depends where you live as to whether its cheap or not (i live in the UK so it works out about £70).

Still a big commitment financially but not the £200+ of the Madcatz sticks. Its a good quality stick and very easy to mod. Recebtly changed the buttons with ease and id never modded a stick before. The artwork on top of the stick is just paper that can be replaced so over time you can make changes to it if thats what you want.

I recently started using the Hori Sports Pad Pro which has octagonal gates around each analog stick. It takes a bit of getting used to, but I'm truly enjoying the controller. Note that I did need to get extra thumbstick covers because the thumbsticks wear very quickly and feel strange on the thumbs -- I got these which fit perfectly.

u/MrEdews · 0 pointsr/Fighters

Well, if you want to get into fighting games, Skullgirls has a great tutorial that teaches you the fundamentals of fighting games in general. Definitely one of my favourite fighting games.

Ultra Street Fighter IV is really good in Endless Battle. I don't play Ranked because I've had bad experience with the net code but aside from that, game is really really solid and it gets my recommendation.

I don't play Killer Instinct as I lack the console but everyone's saying that it is phenomenal, so it might be something to look into.

Maybe you should play with a pad for a little while to see if youre comfortable with it or not. If you feel that you really need a fightstick, then you could buy the Hori Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai since it's pretty cheap and Hori makes good fightsticks.

Here is another decent mechanical keyboard for a very reasonable price: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-STRAFE-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B012B6X7MI/ref=zg_bs_402051011_8?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=GN2GG2268K8TJTNJ4BNH&th=1

I'd also like to note that there are a ton of mechanical keyboard clones now on the market and it can be super confusing to pick a good one. I would suggest you look at Cherry MX switches only. In addition there are different Cherry switches so I'd suggest doing some research. This will help:

Seems very form over function. The white with light wood trim is pretty, but it looks like it would take forever to put away my PSVR and controllers.

And since I have a toddler and a girlfriend who are constantly vying for my attention, I need to be able to pull off my headset and put it away safely and securely (out of reach of the toddler) with one hand in a few seconds.

For my money, I prefer the Collective Minds stand.

Yea! I ordered this one as well. Super easy to put together and everything stays in place. When I put my move controllers in, there was a nice 'click', and while they are easy to take back out, they aren't falling out any time soon. The extra USB port and hook for my PS Gold headset was what sold me on it, and I'm glad I bought it.

The Sony Gold Wireless Headset. It's amazing. One of the best headsets out there for the PS4. Make sure to download the companion app from the PSN Store. I believe the black set is $80. The white set still sells for $100. But watch for this item to appear on Amazon's Warehouse page. I got the whites refurbished for $85. They match my white PS4 nicely.

I use this controller charger. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ENFVJJO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Works really well. Both of my controllers are always ready for me.

u/Hori--FTW · 1 pointr/Kappa

Your chances of finding a legit contoller are pretty low. They were made in a very low supply and only in Japan. They sold out quickly and the Chinese bootlegger's jumped on it. So if you find one like this on Ebay, chances are that it's a Chinese bootleg. I should know because I bought one and the D-pad snapped right off after about a month of moderate use. $50 well spent. Sarcasm.

You're best bet is to buy an authentic Saturn controller and then buy an adapter. https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-Sega-Saturn-Controller-Adapter/dp/B006ZBHXEO/ref=pd_sim_63_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=2V8355E46Q050YHG5BZ0

I have no idea if there is an adapter for PS3/PS4 but I can verify that this adapter works for PC without issue.

Saturn D-Pad is good but it's little loose. If you've ever held one of those Madcatz controllers it's like that but obviously of a better quality.

The gold standard for fighting game controllers is the Hori: https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-PlayStation-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01GVOFIAA/ref=pd_sbs_63_img_0?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=B4MMEAK7DTTM9CMFCJCD&th=1

Specifically this version with the switch for PC. Avoid the Pro version like the plague. I've bought two different Pro's and they both stopped working after less than a year. I've bought this controller over a year ago and have yet to have any issues. Hence my username.

But use what you're comfortable with. Reminder: Smug, I'mStillDaddy and Nuckledu use the standard PS4 controller. I think there's a couple of other pad warriors that hit top 8. I know Luffy uses a controller but I don't know if he's still using a PS1 controller or made the switch to PS4 or Hori.

u/cozalt · 2 pointsr/PSVR

Congrats on joining the community!

I'm no expert by any means and will just be providing my personal opinion/experience, but to answer your questions:

Question 1: Keep the headset out of direct sunlight, especially the inner lens. Some use the box to keep it stored, I purchased this which works great. Clean the lens with glasses cleaning cloth or lens pen cleaner, such as this.

Question 2: I wear glasses as well. I noticed after months of use a tiny scratch on the lens but it doesn't affect my gameplay at all. There are solutions out there I'm sure, but I have not invested into any. PSVR is considered safe to use with glasses.

Question 3: I don't know the worst game, but I can give you a small list of the ones I've played and would say are worth getting in no particular order:

Batman,
Battlezone,
Eve:Valkyrie,
Resident Evil,
Farpoint (/w Aim Controller),
Playstation VR Worlds,
Robinson: The Journey,
Dirt Rally (/w Steering Wheel),
StarWars Battlefront (for X-wing mission - I found it cheap for $10),
Until Dawn: Rush of Blood

It's not hard to find amazing upcoming game, as this sub posts them often. Just to name a few I'm stoked for:

Skyrim VR,
Ace Combat 7,
Doom VR

Hopefully this helps you - goodluck!

Edit: I missed your last question. I linked already to the VR stand. Get a pair of Move controllers and Aim Controller.

    HORI Fighting Edge

    Razer Panthera Evo

    Hori Rap 4 Kai

    The 'Hori Rap 4 Kai' used to be the most popular until the 'Qanba Obsidian' came along. From what I've seen, the Qanba Obsidian is the most popular stick right now. The 'Razer Panthera Evo' is an updated version of the 'Razer Panthera' and it's a solid stick from what I've read.

    Personally, I'm looking to get the 'Hori Fighting Edge' next because the button layout got me curious and the aluminum panel seems really nice.



    I have the Qanba Obsidian and Hori Rap 4 Kai so I can speak a little about those.

    >Qanba Obsidian

    Quite big in size and heavy. Definitely sturdy. Lots of room to rest your arms on. Custom art work replacement is easy. Same goes for replacing the buttons. The miscellaneous buttons up top are a little too small and fat fingering a button happens sometimes.

    >Hori Rap 4 Kai

    The size and weight lean towards average. It'll rest on your lap nicely and not feel overbearing. Custom art work replacement requires a little work because the default artwork has strong adhesive binding it to the steel plate inside. Replacing buttons is no problem. Miscellaneous buttons are on the right side underneath the right wing. You can also rebind buttons.

Are firmwares not known by serial or other numbers on the co sole at this time?

I. The past I remember it being possible to tell when the console was produced>what firmware it had by serial.

Edit: nevermind, it seems manufacture date is located on the ps4 box, and I’ve found a partial list of mfg date and firmware version.

Here is the incomplete list

mostly start dates. with no end dates, but im fairly certain the mfg date on any new box will be enough to determine firmware, unless it is a newer bundle/ps4 slim that is still in production.

i live in a fairly large city, and all stores have many older bundles. they are also available online.

i found the uncharted bundle in the link above for 340, which seems reasonable to me.

obviously a used unit or unit you can test is best. personally ill take my chances on the mfg date ob the box when i buy eventually. (totally broke for a bit).

*hereis the uncharted 500gb slim model. 5 dollars less than a 1tb with uncharted included. NOTE: this is an affiliate link from the above listed site! If you wish, please search it out on your own as to not give $$ to the above site if you so wish. I have no connection with them and this is a disclaimer.

There are pro models with firmware starting at 4.05-4.07, but it will be harder to determine pro firmware from the date, unless you search for more Info, which I’m sure is easily doable.

I high suggest you look at either this fight pad by HORI or this MadCatz one not many people think about getting a pad but its a say cheaper alternative than buying a stick and a WAAAAYY better DPAD than yourre used to i bought the Mad Catz one and it was the best decision i have made. espcially if youre looking for something wto help with your inputs these definetly do the trick as an aleternative to the controller and as a form of a "good cheap" fight stick. i know you said you were looking for a stick but these a great other options that most people arent aware of . and if you are aware of them and you say frick that get this fight stick.

Same as /u/Lokisfather, I too use my elite controller on my PS4.

https://smile.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-Brook-Converter-Gaming-Adapter-Keychain/dp/B01GDVGQ48/

Not that I'm advertising, but just letting you know what I use, and it works pretty seamless with Destiny. I love having the same feel of controller in my hand, with the paddles... for both consoles.

Grab a Hori Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai -
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Real-Arcade-Pro-Kai-PlayStation/dp/B00SULMRI4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485751635&sr=8-1&keywords=hori+arcade+stick

Compatible with PS3 / PS4 / PC. Should be around ~$220 delivered. The only difference between this and a (far more expensive) MadCatz stick is it uses Hori's 'Hayabusa' buttons/stick, which feel slightly different to the Sanwa buttons/stick used by MadCatz. Purists will tell you 'Sanwa or nothing', but I can tell you honestly from 7 years of playing SF4 using Sanwa sticks to using this Hori stick for SF5, the difference is negligible. The good thing is you can easily swap the stick and buttons out for Sanwa parts if you really, really must have a Sanwa setup.

Would recommend 100%.

  1. Steam Controller - might be able to maintain some continuity in letting you play mouse-needed games from a controller, but otherwise is a pretty good hybrid that will work for everything and has robust support through Steam, and totally customizable configurations on a per game basis. Also if you have a modern Samsung UHD tv, the Steam Link beta is free (works wonderfully) and the Steam Controller is one of the two controller types it currently supports. $49.99, includes everything needed. http://store.steampowered.com/app/353370/Steam_Controller/

  2. Xbox 360 Controller - Will work on basically every game, but some games - even those with 360 pad support - will be retarded and not recognize it, like Dead Rising 2 Off the Record. Not much to say, it's a great controller. You have to buy the wireless dongle separately, it's usually like $30 for the dongle and at this point I'd say $30 or $40 for the controller. https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Wireless-Controller-Glossy-Black/dp/B003ZSP0WW/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1503597208&sr=1-3&keywords=xbox+360+controller

  3. Xbox One Controller - better than the 360 controller, but, despite natively having drivers in Windows 8 and 10, it has a lot of driver related problems. Does not include accessories - if you have an S type or newer controller, they have Bluetooth support. You can only pair one XB1 controller via Blue Tooth at a time to your PC. Wireless adapter accessory is somewhat unreliable - it may not ever work for you, period, might work fine. Controller - $40 if lucky to $70+. I have 3, got one for free, one with console, paid $60 or so for my Gears 4 limited ed version. Also the battery life is kind of terrible, I'd say 30 hours if you're lucky. https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Wireless-Controller-White/dp/B01GW3H3U8/ref=sr_1_5?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1503597180&sr=1-5&keywords=xbox+one+controller

  4. Dual Shock 4 - I have no experience whatsoever with this controller on PC but it does require a separate adapter for wireless. Personally I don't like the feel of it, it's too lightweight when I have used it and the sensor bar seems pointless. It seems like it's probably solid though. https://www.amazon.com/DualShock-Wireless-Controller-PlayStation-Black-4/dp/B00BGA9X9W

  5. Logitech F310 - Wired but absolutely solid controller, no input delay. The layout is PS2 Dual Shock 2, with Xbox face buttons and PS2 style sticks, but the actual thumbgrips are more like XB360 if I remember right. D-pad is one solid piece like the 360 controller. It will work with literally everything, flawlessly, except games that have hardcoded controls like KOF98 / 2000 etc. The only annoying thing is the xinput/directinput switch is in the place where you would expect the Select button to be on a Dual Shock 2, and the select / start are above that. This can often lead to you changing the input on accident, which will basically screw you in any third person game because both camera and character control will stop working. Also the back of the controller is more angled than the DualShock 2. You should be able to grab one for cheap - they've been around for at least 6 years. Despite the 1 piece d-pad I actually think it does fairly well for fighting games, too. It's well made and can survive a lot of abuse. I've dropped mine, stood on it, dropped it, tossed it, thrown it, yanked it from the USB port on purpose and on accident, and it's in perfect shape still 6 years later. http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/f310-gamepad

  6. Logitech F710 - everything above but wireless, maybe a slight input delay, and it also has a vibration switch across from the input select. Different color, 2.4ghz band. $50 http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/f710-wireless-gamepad

    I personally would recommend the F310, if near the PC but the cord is not very long, so more likely the F710, or the 360 controller. I like the XB1 controller but it's battery life is simply unacceptable, and I don't use it enough that I'm willing to consider the sync problems acceptable when I do.

The new models of the Hori RAP 4 Kai should all have Hayabusa stick & Hayabusa buttons with their updated PCBs which has an XInput mode in addition to PS3/PS4 mode and reduced input lag. I ordered one off Amazon last week and it's all there.

Personally I prefer the Hayabusa lever + buttons to Sanwas. The stick movements feel smoother to me than my Sanwa sticks, the difference in resistance is noticeable and I find it easier to instant air dash and whatnot.

The Hayabusa buttons have noticeably shorter travel distance compared to the Sanwas, it's kinda like comparing Cherry Red MX to Speed switches.

I also very much like that the stick + buttons are slightly further spaced from each other, it makes the whole experience feel less cramped.

Looking at the listing on https://www.amazon.de/Real-Arcade-Pro-Kai-PlayStation/dp/B00RZ7T8N6/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1526897111&sr=1-1&keywords=hori+4+kai - it looks identical to the listing on the UK site (notice how on the last 3 pictures the stick has a little grey strip along the right hand side with a legend of what buttons are under that right hand side ledge, my RAP 4 Kai has this and is the updated model!).

I'd pull the trigger on a RAP 4 Kai, if you got a PS3/PS4/PC switch & matte finish buttons you're good to go.

In regards to warranty - https://www.engadget.com/2018/04/11/ftc-warranty-warning/ I thought it was illegal for companies to refuse warranty because of stickers?

Edit - Forgot to mention the gate:

I would say stick with stock parts as long as you can before trying out things like different gates, be patient with getting used to the controller. Building muscle memory will take time!

I remember when I first started out I tried all sorts of nonsense like stiffer springs, octo gates, bigger actuators, hitbox etc. but in the end I wound up on a stock RAP 4 Kai and all I really needed to do was find a comfortable setup and git gud.

On the plus side I can now switch between pad/stick/hitbox/keyboard at will and it'll take only a few minutes to get combos down haha. I'm still tempted by the hitbox dark side but for now unless I can get a specific style of custom hitbox made I'll probably just use this stick now.

I agree with this, I do miss my CV1 audio, not sure how the decided this audio was OK, did they listen to any music at all on it? But the was it sits on my face is great, I did have issues when moving around a lot, like in Beat Saber when you have to dunk under stuff, etc... But if you crank the knob down some it seems fine and at least all that pressure is not on my face. The screen is great, I knew it would be because I loved my Go's screen and knew it would be so much better on the Rift-S with better render targets. I have no real tracking issues, it is better so far than my CV1 with 3 sensors honestly.

I have seen people with some headphones kind of like these, but were bigger and maybe better.

  1. Keep it in the box, or on a stand. Always have some sort of glasses cleaning cloth to wipe the lenses periodically. It isn't the "fragile" type of expensive, so you should be fine with whatever solution you come up with.

  2. The system helps you figure out the best IPD settings by taking a picture of your face, but some would argue that it should be a little higher or lower.

  3. The Martian VR is the only one I can really think of. EDIT: And Loading Human! That game was the most disappointing game I have ever played.

  4. I personally like getting physical copies of games, but that is just preference in case I want to resell the game. Though it is easier to switch between games if you digitally download them.

  5. A charging VR stand like the Collective Minds one is a good investment as you don't have to keep around the controller chargers or use up USB ports on the system. Speaking of, make sure you have the move controllers. Don't spend a lot on headphones, any pair of headphones should work.
u/dsebulsk · 2 pointsr/NoMansSkyTheGame

Well the upcoming DLC is worth $30 alone. But there is this collector's edition that has everything including the upcoming DLC for $60.

The Taken King was worth the original $60 price in my opinion (it had an actual story and the April update made the grind negligible!). Year 1 Destiny absolutely did NOT earn it's price.

Year 1 Destiny had a bunch of problems, but you have to hand it to Bungie because they listened to our feedback and improved the game drastically to answer that feedback.

$60 for Y1+Y2+Y3 Destiny is a great deal, considering it is technically a $190 value.

The only problem is you'll have a hard time catching up since the whole community will be focusing on Rise of Iron. But there will be new players you can find.

  1. Yes we do. Did you see Skyrim? That's not the remastered version, wanna take a guess why that is?
  2. PS4 and XB1 constantly go on sale for 250, and right now you can get it for 260 on amazon. With a game. Switch comes with no games bundled. https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Slim-500GB-Console-Uncharted-Bundle/dp/B01LRLJV28/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484286542&sr=8-1&keywords=PS4
  3. Yes, but they were the strongest/most capable home consoles on the market at the time. The Switch is not, aside it's portable aspect, it has nothing grand to offer for that price. They single handedly alienated both their home console and handheld market.
  4. Yes, 3rd party shovelware. They showed nothing in this presentation to prove me otherwise, because they would be showing the most anticipated releases of 2017, not..this.
  5. Yes, hyperbole on my part but their launch line up is not good. It's just a bunch of mini type games and simple couch co op games. Zelda was the only game showed that people actually..you know..want. Mario is in the holidays and splatoon 2 is in spring.

    Cmon now, stop trying to defend this shit.

I would like to chime in on another better method to get AP afk/overnight. The method is 1 AP about every 7.5 seconds but there is a requirement to purchase a ps4 turbo controller to do it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2raCWyqH2Y
The original video above is by a Japanese person and I take no credit for finding this method, just trying it out.

Basically, you will need a ps4 controller that has turbo mode, one like the Hori FPS Plus.
https://www.amazon.com/Horipad-FPS-Plus/dp/B0106XFCPI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481247710&sr=8-1&keywords=hori+ps4

Go do the basic level 5 training at camp.

  1. Hold turbo button and press R1, repeat it for a second time.
  2. Hold turbo button and press triangle, repeat it for a second time.
  3. Hold turbo button and press circle, repeat it for a second time.

    What this does is loop the training sequence over again with Noctis warp striking Gladios doing a 1 hit KO. I've tried it and managed to gain 3000+ AP over one night.
    A tip from me is to equip all your accessories with strength enhancement if you are unable to defeat him in a single hit.
u/Intelligensaur · 2 pointsr/truegaming

You can get a more current and accurate answer on what the game would be like for a new, DLC-less player by asking r/DestinyTheGame.

But if you already have the game in hand, it seems like you'd be better served giving it a try and seeing if you even enjoy it before starting to consider whether or not to buy all the DLC (which you can probably do cheapest by buying the collection.

u/tehponycorn · 3 pointsr/KingdomHearts

You really won't. KH3's is built on top of a solid 7+ games. The game does it's best to recap things, but I don't imagine it'd work if you have no knowledge of the series at all. Is it possible? Yes. Will you be very confused though? Yes.

If you pick up KH3, I'd recommend you also pick up The Story So Far. The PS4 version of the game is only $25 on Amazon, so you'd be getting pretty much the entire KH series for less than $50, which is a steal.

More than that, you'd be able to play the entire series and best understand KH3.

u/Deceased_Puppy · 1 pointr/Warframe

I bought these for my GF's PS4. I put jump on the right and melee on the left. It's not as much control as a KBM, but it helps for sure. It's wired, and you have to make sure you turn on the PS4 without it connected, then connect after signing in. The paddles don't break, they actually fall out because they're connected via magnets. Don't toss it across the room, you won't lose the paddles. However, you also won't worry about snapping them because they just disconnect. Also the extra long charging cable is nice.

u/MissedHerPink · 2 pointsr/PS4

Really eh. If the controller's all you like, get the Horipad FPS plus.

I prefer the xbox controller, but I don't hate the PS4 controller. It still feels nice imo, and has way better features. But if I could only recommend one console, I'd go with PS4 just because of all the exclusive titles that xbox lacks, especially if you're not into Halo or Gears.

u/_3_7__ · -1 pointsr/Rainbow6

Look up the FPS Strikepack on google, basically it clips on your controller and adds 2 paddles on the bottom like a scuf, it’s also a modpack but I don’t use any mods

The paddles have magnets in them and you can remove both or one of them if you’d like. So I remove the right one and set the left one to circle

I really like it, way more than scuf, and it’s only like 40 dollars. You can set the paddles to any button on your controller in seconds, it’s really easy to use

It's really simple, actually. You have to buy an adapter, but they're pretty robust and easy to use. The XIM (linked above) allows you to play console games with a keyboard/mouse setup.

u/Morkaii · 2 pointsr/CruciblePlaybook

I have tried the Xbox Elite and the Scuf Vantage. I MUCH prefer the standard DS4 controller with a Strike Pack attachment.

The Elite was very nice, but the joysticks are a lot looser than the DS4. For someone like me who likes to snipe, it proved insurmountable. However, the quality of the controller is excellent and I use it with my Xbox. The resistance that the DS4 joysticks provide gives you a greater degree of control and accuracy in my opinion.

I pre-ordered the new Scuf Vantage thinking it would be the answer. Unfortunately, the quality is noticeably subpar and cheap. The sticks are better than the Elite, but not as good as a stock DS4. The upper paddles are difficult to reach to the point where I gave up on even using them. I returned it after a week of trying to make it work. Not at all worth the price, IMO.

u/soothsayerSABER · 1 pointr/Warframe

FWIW I use one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Collective-Dominator-Controller-Adapter-playstation-4/dp/B01L8QHXJA/ref=asc_df_B01L8QHXJA/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312141147012&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17258062101335092609&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9002310&hvtargid=aud-800703102928:pla-353370169105&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=62842319515&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=312141147012&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17258062101335092609&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9002310&hvtargid=aud-800703102928:pla-353370169105

It adds paddles to the back of my controller that are programmable on the fly. You hold a button on the adapter and press the button you want to assign. It allows me to use things like alt-fire on amps and guns in a much easier fashion. It can also be used to do things like jump or ADS.

Also, I have never needed or wanted to use the included mods, and basically got this to avoid buying a super expensive third party controller with built in paddles.

u/uncannyDINOZORD · 3 pointsr/PS4Deals

If you don't mind I'll give you some more thoughts. So first on fight sticks: They are in no way necessary to be competitive or in our case 'not bad' and they definitely are not for everyone. When I was heavy in dbfz I used this https://www.amazon.com/Fighting-Commander-PlayStation-Officially-Licensed-4/dp/B01GVOFIAA?th=1 it is larger (I have larger hands) but it really helped me build up execution with the feedback and nice d-pad and its cheaper than almost all fight sticks. Since then though I have gone back to just the ps4 controller and don't see any major drop offs. I know this is a ps4 sub but if you have a switch you can usually find dbfz on sale on that and just use the joycons. Seasoned fighters will go crazy at that suggestion but its all about what works for you. I use the joycons for dbfz and will admit my execution is sloppier and I drop things I wouldn't on ps4 but I like to play on the go (mostly practice cause you want good connections when playing online).

Now on dbfz. Get it. Period. If you are a dragon ball fan get it. If you are new to fighters get it. If you want a great community to help you learn and has a crazy amount of resources get it. If you want to look cool with the lowest possible execution get it. If you grow into a monster at fighters and want to do some crazy stuff get it and probably all other fighters.

Not sure if your heart is set on keeping that controller charger, but if not you could pick up something like this: http://www.amazon.com/DualShock-Controller-Charging-Station-PlayStation-4/dp/B00ENFVJJO They're affordable and it could be a more convenient setup.

Doesn't have to physically connect to the PS4, just to a wall outlet or other available USB outlet. That way you can keep your controllers on the end table or something and have your PS4's USB ports available.

If you do want to keep using that thing, nevermind and good luck.

When my friends come over to play we use my xbox one controllers which you can either buy the charge and play cable for it to work immediately or the wireless PC adapter to go with it so you can have multiple controllers if you wants friends over playing. I've heard the PS4 controller works now but have not tested it myself. There is also a Hori gamepad that some people love and I've seen recommended on here

Aw damn, the SoulCalibur VI RAP N went back up in price. The PS4 version was $106 several days ago the last time I checked on Amazon and there was a good seller on eBay that sold it for around $85 to $95 which is where I got it from. Anyway, I do second this. It's my first fightstick and it's a blast.

The regular RAP N is priced lower than the SoulCalibur VI version on Amazon at $126.97 right now to the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the SoulCalibur VI RAP N being $158.99.

https://www.amazon.com/Arcade-Hayabusa-PlayStation-Officially-Licensed-4/dp/B073C5PWS2/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=hori+rap+n&qid=1574632968&sr=8-1

If you're okay with used fightsticks, there is a seller, a pawn shop apparently with good reviews, selling the PS4 version of the Hori Tekken 7 RAP N for $99.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/HORI-Real-Arcade-Pro-Hayabusa-Tekken-7-Edition-Fight-Stick-PS4080/233395481925?hash=item3657746d45:g:cS0AAOSwfOBdxeKs&shqty=1&isGTR=1#shId

Personally, I wouldn't buy it not because it's used, but because of the price. From what I gathered, the Tekken 7 version is more of a collector's edition. It's usually more expensive than the regular RAP N and the SoulCalibur VI which because it was attached to a less popular game, is sold for less than the regular RAP N where except for not have these rubber mats under them, the same thing the Tekken 7 version lacks if I recall correctly, it's the same fightstick with a different art and case color. That is just me, though, if you really want a RAP N, like the Tekken 7 stock art, and are okay with the price, then sure.

Another "used" fightstick is the Rap 4 Kai which was mentioned by another user on Amazon. Amazon Warehouse currently has a "like new" offer for the Rap 4 Kai and it's $116.85. I've had good experiences with Amazon Warehouse, but there have been some misses like they sent me the wrong items. Not all that bad since you can just send it back and get a refund.

Someone else posted a thread about how the Razer Panthera Evo is on sale on their site and their eBay store for $140. The one issue with the Panthera Evo is that it can be difficult to install a Korean lever. You did not mention any 3D fighters like Dead or Alive, SoulCalibur, or Tekken, so it probably won't matter much, but in the future if you ever get into those, especially Tekken, or you really want to try out a Korean lever, then it could be a pain to install.

The Venom posted below is alright if you're not sure, but most people will tell you to upgrade to Sanwa parts anyway, which creates a false economy. Unfortunately, in the UK we're actually pretty limited in terms of fight sticks available for purchase (for reasonable amounts of money).

I bought my RAP4 for about £120 and it's got a decent amount of heft, so it won't shift around like a Mayflash. Adjusting from pad to stick took a bit of getting used to (you'll get worse before you get better!) but it does save a lot of strain on your thumbs and IMO certain actions become way easier to pull off.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/PS4-Real-Arcade-Pro-Kai-x/dp/B00RZ7T8N6/

As far as the other discussion of Sanwa vs Hori goes, I wouldn't worry about it at this point. I've used both and prefer Hori, but I can't say that my performance would be affected if I had to play on anything else.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/HORI-Arcade-Hayabusa-Fight-Stick/dp/B07895D3XF/

This is pretty much the same thing as the RAP4, but I think the layout is *slightly different. Around about the same on Amazon Prime though.

There are two models: this one: $48 (which says: [OLD MODEL] in the product name) & this one: $46. I got the latest model which, because of a discounting, is actually cheaper! lol

From the PS4 I think he wanted one of the newer Kingdom Hearts games. This or this. Also you just look up Arduino or rasperry pi kits and there's usually some game kind of deal.
Also here's some PS4 stuff. 1 or 2. If you do two check the sellers for best ratings and stuff. But 1 seems the way to go because of the game. Also if you do just end up getting him a PS4 no game get the kid kingdom hearts remaster (not the 2.8).
But if you go aruino go with this and this and this. Those three are cheaper than the PS4 and he'll learn more.
Also all this is from the perspective of a guy who's had to buy his own games and stuff.

I dont know how much you're willing to spend, but you should also eventually upgrade the hard drive in your PS4 to 1TB-2TB. it's very easy and it can cost to about $100.
also buy PS plus. you need it to play online and you get 2 free games every month from sony. It's worth your money,

Oh, wow. I thought you were talking about playing BBS on the remastered collections, but yeah they did release a mega collection on the PS4! If you want just the first six games of the series, there's the 1.5+2.5 collection. If you want the entire series though, they recently released a mega collection that has all the games in the series.

If you haven't played the "Final Mix" versions of KH1 and KH2, I definitely recommend getting one of the collections to do so. They have a bunch of extra stuff like optional bosses and new difficulty modes.

I'd recommend buying a new one - while the Dualshock 4 is a great controller, lots of users have had issues with the thumbsticks after a year or so of use. I take really, really good care of my stuff and I've been through 4 controllers in 3 years (including extending life via manual repairs)

Amazon sells them new for $47, a fairly significant discount from the MSRP, but you can probably find better deals. The newer controllers seem a bit more solid and durable than the ones I bought at launch.

Get the PS4 charging dock http://www.amazon.com/DualShock-Controller-Charging-Station-PlayStation-4/dp/B00ENFVJJO

It's $17 (which isn't too bad) but you'll always have a place to put your controller when you're done playing and it'll keep them charged...you wont ever have to worry about battery life or keep the controller tethered to the system

What kind of games are you interested in? I could give you some recommendations. PS+ is a must-have for online play and is well worth it for the free games.

None of which might fit great now that the rubber on your controller is actually falling apart. Might require some hot glue or something else if you want them to stay in place.

A lot of people eventually switch to xbox style sticks, not just because the material doesn't fall apart but because it's actually a much better design. These compared to the DS4 sticks is night and day in terms of control and your thumb not sliding all over the place.

http://www.amazon.com/GAMING%C2%AE-Original-Xbox-Controller-Analogue-Thumbsticks/dp/B00JQX91HU/

Not that hard to install. Hardest thing about taking the controller apart is getting the shell separated for the first time and the fact that the triggers and springs might fall out, so just work on a clean table where you'll be able to find the little springs. Watch videos on how to take it apart.

u/riversun · 4 pointsr/PS4

ordered these, completely amazing. takes about 1 day to get used to them, and for them to truly form to the stick. raised, slightly textured and soft-but-not-too-soft silicon

http://www.amazon.com/GelTabz-Performance-Thumb-Grips-PlayStation-4/dp/B00GOOSV98

your thumb will never hurt again, it's great for games that require R3/L3 actions, and your stock rubber won't degrade if it hasnt already

u/willnotforget2 · 6 pointsr/PSVR

I have the collective minds headset and I love it.

If you have the Move controllers, definitely consider picking it up. I think it's totally worth it. Looks beautiful and keeps everything charged well. Quality plastic build.

u/kimaro · 2 pointsr/gaming

>I'd have thought a decent gaming machine would cost vastly more than a console and I'd have to buy a

Not true. This guy's proves it = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZR-a35sxLg

>I'd have to buy a desk and shit to shove the monitor and keyboard and all that bollocks on

Well, if you want to sit on your couch and just skip using a keyboard you can do that...



Also how fucking big do you think a PC has to be? Like.. Seriously how big? Because you are so full off yourself. Also, you still need to buy a controller for your console (I know one comes with) but you can literally buy a keyboard and mouse for 5$

Last time I checked you still need to buy a TV to use it for your console. So why are you telling me that a PC needs a monitor but a console doesnt need a TV?


Here let's do some comparisons.

400$ PS4. http://www.gamestop.com/ps4/consoles/playstation-4-system/109942

14.99$ TV unit (I took the absolute cheapest one...) http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50243299/

Sofa or sitting on the floor? Alright here you go. A chair 29.99$ (still, cheapest one I could find) http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10289128/

You want some games? Hm, let's take some games that are new and are on both PC and PS4. Let's say 4 games.

Dying Light 59.99$ http://www.gamestop.com/ps4/games/dying-light/111372

GTA 5 59.99$ http://www.gamestop.com/ps4/games/grand-theft-auto-v/115462

Evolve 59.99$ http://www.gamestop.com/ps4/games/evolve/113546

Far Cry 4 59.99$ http://www.gamestop.com/ps4/games/far-cry-4/115109

Do you want to play with a buddy? Another controller. 53.33$

http://www.amazon.com/DualShock-Wireless-Controller-PlayStation-Black-4/dp/B00BGA9X9W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420739574&sr=8-1&keywords=playstation+4+controller

And lastly. A TV that is in 1080p 156.59$ (the cheapest one I could find that was NEW. NO Used ones or refurbished!) http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00EAY1FGA/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new



Total price 894.86$

Also, do you want to play online? 1 month is 9.99$, 3months is 17.99$ and 12months is 49.99$


Now, let's do our 350$ PC. So PC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZR-a35sxLg

Do you want to use it on a TV unit or on a desk? You choose. (you could technically do this on the console too but a desk is more expensive.) Let's go with desk for your convinience so 79.99$

Same here, couch or a chair? I'll go with a chair 19.99$ http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S79046260/

And now on games.

So, since Dying Light hasnt released the price for the american price I'll pick the european price and change it to the american currency (This will make it more expensive than usually) EU price: 49.99€ converted to dollars 59.07$ http://store.steampowered.com/app/239140/

Since steam has not given out a price of GTA V on steam I'll pick it from G2play.net (it will most likely be sold for 49.99$) but here you go. 55.64$ http://www.g2play.net/category/3077/grand-theft-auto-v-steam-key/

LoL, I am actually kind of happy right now, it's not that usual that europeans get the game cheaper than americans do but we do on Evolve, anyway. Here you go 59.99$ http://store.steampowered.com/app/273350/

Far Cry 4 59.99$ http://store.steampowered.com/app/273350/

Do you want to play with a friend? A controller. I couldnt be bothered looking for a cheaper one. Here you go 9.99$ http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Twelve-Button-Game-Controller-USB-GAMEPAD/dp/B00AEWTSWU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1420741023&sr=8-5&keywords=pc+controller

And lastly, A TV/Monitor 156.59$ http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00EAY1FGA/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new

Total: 851,25$

Now, yes. It is very close but my argument will always stand, it will be cheaper on steam. With steam sales, humble bundles (https://www.humblebundle.com/ seriously it's 4 games for 1$... Altho I never pay below average because I am not a scumbag, but still) and websites like G2play.net you will ALWAYS find games that are cheaper, for an example here you go with Far Cry 4 for 34.64$ http://www.g2play.net/category/11641/far-cry-4-uplay-key/

u/eDRoaCH · 2 pointsr/StreetFighter

I owned that pad, and didn't like it. The completely circle dad made it impossible for me to use (no tactile feedback of thumb location) they since made a new version that has a cross, so if you buy I definitely recommend that one.

However I prefer the Hori FC4 https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GVOFIAA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485298348&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=hori+fighting it just feels better in my hands, the madcaz is too angular for me.

You sacrifice an analog stick (IMO something only giefs really care about) and the top buttons are a bit muddier, but they're more comfortable and I rarely use them. The big bonus is the price difference, it's way cheaper than even a dual shock.

u/thatHermit · 2 pointsr/StreetFighter

Practice and take breaks often. Your brain needs time to digest what it just learned. With time, it'll come naturally. I like to compare it to MMO's in a way. The same way you would grind for gear or whatever, you grind your combos until your really proficient at it. Eventually you'll get so good that even new characters will be a quick learning experience (execution wise, not footsie wise).

Don't let anyone tell you you can't do it on a controller. I can name like 10 pro's of the top of my head that prove that wrong.

I do however, recommend a controller with all the buttons on the face like this one

But it's not necessary. Use whatever you're comfortable with.

u/Danuscript · 4 pointsr/PS4Deals

Some of these prices are not the best. If you bought 1.5+2.5 and 2.8 on PSN right now that's like 73 dollars. If you're open to physical, Amazon has the Story So Far (the exact same content in one box) for $30 right now:

Link

If you buy that, it will give you over 100+ hours to play and by then KH3 might have a better sale.

Ni No Kuni 2 and Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth are two other great games but again you'll find better deals physical (and they've had better digital discounts before).

u/Gingerstick13 · 2 pointsr/DestinyTheGame

If you don't have any issues using a keyboard and mouse you could do like Dr. Lupo does and connect a Xim4 to your console...

He wants a level playing field for console players. Currently in order to play with a keyboard+mouse combo you have to spend a hefty sum on a conversion adapter like this one here for $149.99

Jeff is asking that console manufacturers give native support for these peripherals so everyone can play with a mouse and keyboard without having to order an adapter that costs over half of what a console costs.

My friend uses one, and he loves it. He's a much better player now with this than he ever was with a controller (he's in his upper 30's and comes from mostly computer gaming in the past)

u/curtisimpson · 1 pointr/Infinitewarfare

I bought two Cinch controllers for PS4 at the start of BO3, and both were broken by the time IW came out. One actually arrived broken and had to be sent back immediately for repair. I do NOT recommend.

I'm currently using the Horipad FPS Plus. It's a licensed controller with a single remappable button on the back left (I use it to jump). I will admit that it's not quite as good of a button placement, but for under $50, it's great! It also has hairpin L2/R2.

Here's the Amazon link

There are a few good YouTube videos out there as well (check out "GameGazm TV" and "Cannot Be Tamed").

While we are in the trenches these next few weeks, wanted to just touch on one of the concern-points many of us have with the Rift S -
Lacking the convenient and immersive headphones of the rift cv1


Stumbled on these that attach to a similar "Halo strap" for the psvr so maybe they'd work on the rift. And price is goo
too.

https://www.amazon.com/Bionik-BNK-9007-Mantis-Headphone-Playstation/dp/B0735X5M4X?th=1&psc=1

I'm not sure they'd sound as good as CV1 headphones but if they we're better than the built in strap speakers on the Rift S...

Really hoping for a first party option for Oculus sub-$50. I don't really want to feel in-ear earbuds or have awkward placement of on-ear cans stretched over the halo strap .

u/iberic · 2 pointsr/StreetFighter

i've heard nothing but good things about the hori real arcade pro 4 kai (EU139.39) (link below).
i did the same and learned with a hori fight stick mini which was an awesome experience, although awkward to get used to the position at first, still using it to this day but got a pro 4 kai on the way.
the mini fight stick did require some 3rd party software (joy2key) to run, but very easy to set up, and very responsive.

hope this helps!

u/One_Man_Matrix · 2 pointsr/PS4

Short answer, is Nope.

No K/M for any games thus far, and that would give you far too big an advantage in competitive multiplayer as well.

The best you could do is a third party peripheral that utilises a K/M and makes the PS4 think it's a normal Controller, i.e.

u/cusman78 · 1 pointr/Helldivers

You can use the standard DS4 you got for your PS4 for your Steam gaming by attaching it via a USB cable.

To make the DS4 work wireless on the PC or Mac for something like Steam or Remote Play, you can get something like the Sony Dualshock 4 Wireless Controller Starter Kit which includes a DS4 and the USB Wireless BlueTooth transmitter or you can get just the Sony Dualshock 4 USB Wireless Adapter sold separately.

Note: I have also come across references of making generic USB BlueTooth Adapters work, but it is more complicated to get them synced with your DS4 and get them working. Those solutions also tend to require some 3rd party software which basically detect your DS4 like an Xbox 360 controller so the game shows Xbox button prompts instead of DS4 button prompts.

u/Lazerack · 1 pointr/PSVR

I have been eying this one. It seems pretty nice and has good reviews. I know you just mentioned a charging stand for the controllers, but the shelf for the VR unit seems like a nice addition to try to keep things tidy.

u/Superrandy · 7 pointsr/PS4

The official Sony charger is not sold in america still. I got the Power A charger and it is fantastic. Could not recommend it enough. Love being able to have them docked and easily swap to another controller when one dies.

They're on sale on Amazon right now, and I know you can find them at Walmart as well.

u/ProfessionalReveal · 1 pointr/iRacing

Yeah it’d definitely be an imperfect fit but it’d work. According to the one person I talk to on Discord, the Rift S has an amazing microphone.

The solution I use for headphones is this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0735X5M4X

Oculus licensed the “headband” from Sony, so these headphones fit on the Rift S.

u/teapot_RGB_color · 1 pointr/Tekken

I feel like I have a lot of muscle memory on controller from other games as well.. so it's a bit rough transitioning to stick. Never played any arcade, but (same as you) played on controller since PS1.

I bought a Hori Rap4 Kai I don't know if it's a good stick or not for tekken, but I saw it was generally favorable reviews, so maybe someone else can answer that.

One thing I will say though, I bought the Tekken 6 bundle that came with a cheaper stick. And I won't do that ever again, that stick was not good quality.

u/NewMateo · 5 pointsr/PSVR

I own this one.

I got it as a gift and its probably the best stand Ive ever had. Has a spot to put your headphones too and doesnt take up much room.

u/Murderous_Squid · 1 pointr/DestinyTheGame

I switched to Bumper Jumper when I came back to the game a couple months ago. Except for the occasional accidental super trigger I love it and it is totally natural now. I'm not a huge fan of any abilities being on the sticks so I may be looking into one of the attachable paddle addons for the PS4.

u/Mr_pessimister · 2 pointsr/RocketLeague

I'd say you have a few options.

  1. Try a different USB cable. I use a DS4 on my PC and I had a cable that would "wobble" and cause disconnect issues when holding the controller in certain ways.

  2. If it is the controller and not the cable then you could try to replace it with something like this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Charging-Port-Board-JDS-011-for-Sony-PS4-Controller-Dualshock-w-Flex-Cable-/162247616902?hash=item25c6b62986:g:lngAAOSwnbZYCPjK There are plenty of youtube tutorials. Doesn't seem too hard.


  3. You could get a Bluetooth dongle if your PC does not already support bt. I have used one, but in my experience where I live I get a lot of interference and the controller latency can spike if it's not right next to the receiver so it wasn't an option for me.

  4. You could get one of these. https://www.amazon.com/Sony-DualShock-4-USB-Wireless-Adaptor/dp/B01KWLKKQU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487199864&sr=8-1&keywords=dualshock+4+usb+wireless+adapter

    While more pricey I have read that both the range and reliability of the signal are head and shoulders above a generic bluetooth adapter.


    Best of luck!

    P.S. I missed this when reading your post, but /u/Jamaicancoconut is correct. Dualshock 4 works directly with RL without the need for DS4Windwos/Input Mapper/360CE/etc.

I have the "geltabz" brand ones. The gel part raises the height of the thumbstick up a mm or two but I have found the transition to be easy to adapt to. MUCH more durable than the original cover material on my DS4. I have 30+ hours on them and they seem to be a good replacement. Don't even notice them anymore.

u/Wescyde · 1 pointr/PS4

Good, thankfully it was an easy fix. If you have two controllers, you may look into the Power A Dual Charger, its a great charger and you would not have to use rest mode it just plugs into a wall and charges the controller through a different port. Have had mine 4 years now

u/-bananabread- · 2 pointsr/PS4

Get Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 when it comes out at the end of march for PS4. It has the two main games (Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2) which are what you'll want to play.

Sure, there a bunch of other games included that you could play in chronological order, but really you're there for KH1 and KH2.

Then if you've played through all of that, you can get 2.8 to tide you over before KH3 comes out.

u/georgemcbay · 5 pointsr/DestinyTheGame

I know nothing about your particular muscular issues, so this may be of no help in your case, but the paddles on the Xbox Elite controller are much more ergonomically accessible than those on the SCUF in general:

https://cdn.geekwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Xbox-One-Paddles-620x412.jpg

I use an Xbox Elite controller on the PS4 myself simply because as someone who plays games on both platforms I prefer it to the DS4. I use it via this adapter, which works great:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GDVGQ48

Admittedly, having to pay about $200 for a solution ($150 for the Elite controller, $50 for the adapter) is not ideal and I do support Bungie just adding auto-sprint as an option to the game, just throwing the information about the Elite paddles out there as a possible option if they do drop the ball on this.




u/photohooligan · 2 pointsr/anime

Yes they are! You can just buy 1.5+2.5 and 2.8 and you'll be all set for KH3! Welcome to the complicated world of Kingdom Hearts and numbers.

u/DTGG · 3 pointsr/Guiltygear

Do not buy a Mad Catz stick, they are overpriced. Yes they are good sticks but you could get a Hori and Qanba that is just as good for half the price. I would personaly recommend this one or that one. They both work on PC.

u/ShockwaveMTME · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

A fair warning though: Getting used to Stick takes time and practice. They are quite expensive too (at least the good ones are).

So if you are going to get into fighting games on PC but don't want to deal with sticks you could get a fightpad which will have a better d-pad than any xbox controller ever had (as far as i can tell) for about the same price.

http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1459323144&sr=8-1&keywords=hori+fightpad

If you're interested you could always visit the sub of the game you want to try and ask there what people use and how well it works for the given game.

u/Keravnos · 2 pointsr/Fighters

With the PCB, five 24mm buttons, eight 30mm buttons, joystick, and USB wires/connector you're over $100 (that's without a touchpad, balltop, shaft sleeve, extra wires for the home/options/share/R2/R3 buttons, PCB harness, and shipping).

Then there's materials and time spent on a decent case - $20 to $30 I think would be reasonable.

In the end I can guarantee that you will save at most $10 if you built this from scratch. And that's if you spend almost nothing on the case.

I'm not trying to stop you from making you're own stick - I've done it and loved every minute. But honestly if saving money is the biggest concern, I think buying a prebuilt is the way to go. There's a reason that independent stick builders charge insane amounts of money for a custom project.
