WOOOOOOOO

I don’t have a PS5, but I have some Dualsense controllers because they’re AWESOME.

Returnal is an incredible experience that shouldn’t be played with anything BUT a Dualsense. It adds soooo much to the experience.

The adaptive triggers are insane.

I was concerned about how long they'd last, but havent had any issues after like a year.

And it's not a jarring change, it just feels so natural when it changes how it reacts

Seriously! I was astounded by the haptics, as well. They’re so much better than my other controllers’ haptics. It’s really the best controller around.

Now if only every game could implement effin PLAYSTATION BUTTON ICONS PLEASE

Ugh yeah. Getting the X-Box buttons while playing with a PS controller is so annoying.
In some games like the recent Jedi games from EA you can get the PS prompts by deactivating the Steam input in the options and connecting the controller via USB. But that defeats the purpose of having a bluetooth controller in the first place.

Valve just keeps landing these announcements lately. Seem to be one of the last companies left in the gaming world that gives a shit.

[–] BakedGoods@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago

Since they're privately owned, they can. Once a company goes public they're legally required to only care about short term profits and nothing else.

The commission they get for every single sale helps...

Hello Epic games. How's business?

[–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The thing is Steam has been around for a long time. I mean hell my account is 20 years old now. Steam wasn't always a store though, however, they were first to market as a digital games store.

Yes, I'm old too, but what does that have to do with me calling out a chill?

Anyone know if the Bluetooth connection is noticeably more stable on Steam Deck than the DS4?

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

i know they improved bluetooth stability with the OLED, but i don't have any numbers

[–] Crikeste@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Can’t believe it wasn’t already supported, but good is good even if a lil late!

I like the Xbox layout, but apparently PS dual sense is an incredible controller. Swag for all the users.
