Isn't playstation amazing?

I bought red dead redemption five hours ago and it just finished downloading. But do I get to play it? Oh no, now I need to wait another 30 minutes for it to install then after that i'll need to wait another 5 minutes for it to finish updating. Isn't technology just grande?

That's why PC's are superior.

Or at least Xbox, the first install is a lump install, so you don't need to download the game then fuck around with updates.

Peeeee

Not saying Xbox is hardware supuriour, just saying it uses the same "Download everything at once" mentality, Playstation do the "Download it all one at a time, we'll get more money out of their wasted time!"

But you still have to pay for online play... I think. At least last time I checked.
And no keyboard and mouse support :c

Hey at least we stay the same, Sony went with free online play then made it paid, and you barely get any extras for it xD

And not every game needs keyboard and mouse support, even top gamers play PC games with a controller ;)

@Fangirlsarah1996: We CAN play with both. But playing a shooter with a controller is so unbelievably counterproductive. And a controller doesn't have enough buttons to make mistakes :c

@GermanAf: Counterproductive?

I've never heard that word used to describe playing a game, a shooter nonetheless xD

A shooter has barely any features, it's typical of the genre, the controllers were built to play games like that, they have more or less the exact amount of buttons needed to play one (sometimes spare Note: Halo 5 pressing in the right thumb stick does nothing...for some reason)

Controllers weren't made for shooters .-. The first games weren't shooters.
The first real shooter was Doom on PC .-.
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
The first games on consoles, at least on Xbox (Srry Playstation, your "Duelshock" crap isn't even made to play games)

The Xbox controller line was built around the concepts that built the Xbox, shooter games, thats why at least the Xbox has controllers aimed to be used for shooters over anything else.
SW-User
Maybe. But that doesn't explain why they were so god damn unresponsive ;-;
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
I think that might just be you, or you got a well used controller, thats the only problem with the things they can slowly die on you. (Much like all hardware)

The XBOX one Controller is great, I love that thing, but anything before that was just crappy. The XBOX 360 one was really really loud and just weird. The D-Pad was made of my worst nightmares.
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
The 360 one was the best at the time (Fucking PS3 controller was too small and blocky to be comfortable)

Now the XboxOne controller is out though, it's like the Porche of handheld controllers, Sony had to upscale their controller for the PS4 lol xD

I had the pleasure of using the Elite Controller once. >_> Damn that thing is goop.
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
I've only got the S controller, with the textured grips :D

The thing is much better compared to the normal One controller, now if only it wasn't bright fucking white.
SW-User
Ew white ;-; I had a white mouse once and I had to clean it every week because you could actually see the dirt ;-;
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
The console itself is good, a much needed improvement over the VCR ONE, it's just...I've got a room full of black gadgets and that little shit with his smug little shit eating grin is sitting there thinking "You'll never hate me" because it knows I love it too much :'(
SW-User
😕I have a mousepad.
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
That MUST suck, mousepads are the fucking worst for dirt :/
SW-User
Not really. Love that thing. I'd definitely do nasty things to it if it were human...
I also love my keyboard because it makes the most beautiful "click"-sounds ever.
I love almost everything except that fucking piece of shit VGA cable that keeps tickling my leg :c

Behind my desk is literally a landmine field of wires lol everything goes past there at some point xD
SW-User
Should've seen my desk back when I had to manually wire my speakers...
