    The share button is fine because it's tiny and out of the way. The real problem is the gigantic touchpad that constantly gets in the way when playing fighting games.

        Competitive fighting game player of 15+ years here, that is total nonsense. Pads are arguably better if anything, people have only recently started to wake up to that. There is absolutely no tangible advantage to stick unless that is what you learned on. Yes, bad pads do exist and some people are also moronic and use the analog stick but DS4 pads and such are totally fine and people have used them and their predecessors for a long time with no issues. I can play both stick and pad by the way and switch for different games.

          I'd argue hitbox is has the best benefits out of all the controllers since you can do a lot of shortcuts easily with it and it's relatively easy to adapt to if you're a keyboard player. I don't think the benefits are so great they're worth switching over if you already are very comfortable with your controller of choice.
          Unless you're playing at a professional level (and even pros will just stick with what they like), it doesn't matter in the long term and I don't think it'll be the deciding factor whether or not you win in a match or not in most cases.

        The only reason sticks were ever popular was because the regulars back in the day primarily played their fighting games in arcades. And arcades used stick controls. And thus they too adopted stick controls.
        And then for people using stick controls that weren't arcade regulars. Did so because the top players were using sticks and they just assumed that the sticks must be superior because the top players were using them.

        But nothing about sticks are actually superior.
        If you have a regular keyboard (with a matrix that doesn't ghost) you can be a champion with it. Same with regular gamepad controls.

        If you have HDR enabled with a 10-bit monitor it will take two screenshots, one in JPEG Extended Range JXR format with the HDR data embedded, and one tonemapped down to SDR in PNG.

            Yeah I was initially surprised that they even thought to try capturing HDR screenshots that way, but also confused as to why they were even bothering with JXR when Windows has native HEIC/HEIF support now which has better support for HDR content.

            Also, samegayging here. I've had Shadowplay capture HDR in a video a grand total of once. I uploaded it to israelitetube and it actually displayed it in HDR mode (Thisun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwKnk0A7vs0).

      You can disable screenshot notifications so that you can avoid that issue on basically anything that takes screenshots. PS4 can, PS5 can, Xbone doesn't have a notification because it's done through the guide button, Switch ignores any of the notifications on a system-wide level when taking screenshots so people signing in or you taking a video/screenshot don't show up in the next, GeForce Experience can, and I'm sure AMD can.

    this button would be great if you could just directly send pics and clips to Messenger/Telegram/Discord/etc.
    you know, the places where your friends are typically online

    instead you can only upload shit to places like your youtube channel or twitter acc, shit nobody ever checks, and places that you also probably don't want to spam with clips/pics of little importance

    The DualShock 4 sucks fricking dick. The only things they got right were the D-pad and L2/R2 triggers.

    DualSense has nice rumble and built-in mic but it inherits almost all of the Dualshock 4's flaws as well as being bulky and less-comfortable.

    I actually love the idea of it because funny shit that happens that you'll want to clip never happens when you're actively recording. Being able to press a button to go back in time to clip it is way better than your precious select button that you didn't even grow up with because you're sub 20 years old. PC has software for this already but consolekiddies can use it.

    The PS4 controller is a single most moronic base controller I've had. Touchpad is imprecise and useless, lightbar is more of an nuisance than a feature, open triggers are a fricking joke and analog sticks are slippery drifting pieces of shit. They had a golden design in the PS2 controller, why the frick they thought that needed "improving" (other than it being a way to drive up the price for the consumer) is something I will never understand.

      Sounds to me like you just got a bunk controller because I have had none of those issues. The DS2 and DS3 are garbage after you have touched a DS4 and especially a Dualsense. I find it an absolute nightmare to have to go back and use one of these controllers when playing my PS2 or PS3 because they feel so awful and not ergonomic at all. Meanwhile the DS4 and DS have great thumbsticks, great L2/R2 that don't have the plastic rim constantly rubbing on your finger, far more responsive L1/R1, and the sole thing the older Dualshocks do better is the d-pad, that's it. That's their one good thing. Even then the DS3's destroys your thumbs if you use it for fighting games.

    >share button is the worst
    Not the gigantic light bar that eats battery. Not the motion controls that get used once every 50 games. Not the built in speaker that equally gets no use. And the ps5 controller is even worse with more features that have zero use

      >Not the motion controls that get used once every 50 games.
      It's better than not having it all, and when the games that do use it use it it's always much more preferable than not having it. Using an Xbox controller on PC sucks absolute ass because you don't have the option for gyro when you feel like it, especially when Steam itself lets you configure any button to take advantage of the gyro if you so choose. I play Genshin Impact with gyro turning itself on when I hold my aim button for example and it's extremely useful.
      >Not the built in speaker that equally gets no use.
      I don't like the built-in speaker but it gets used quite a bit. Yakuza games use it to tell you when you've walked into range of the main story location, Genshin Impact does it for Elemental Sight and some other sounds, Tomb Raider has Lara read off collectibles, most Sony first party games use it, and that's off the top of my head. I do think it's unnecessary though and always disable it.
      >with more features that have zero use
      Virtually every game uses haptic feedback for the rumble. I don't think I've played one yet that doesn't use it, first party or not. Likewise a huge chunk of the games utilize the adaptive triggers and they actually enhance how your game feels, but the downside is they tire your fingers out more and there's the argument to be had about how the gimmick will eventually wear the controller down. The microphone is also 100% useless and I can't understand why they'd even bother because Nintendo could barely justify it on the DS and 3DS and if they intended it for multiplayer you're gonna get the sound from everything in your room and it'll be horribly tinny.

    It's actually a very nice and useful function that was advertised in the worst possible way. Same with the touchpad that is essentially two buttons at once and could have been used for a million useful options. Literally they could have ported DS games or had similar functionality.

        That's true, but it's a problem caused by publishers being moronic first and foremost. There might be an option to turn off those notifications anyway.

        Their thought process is that the only people who will be able to record footage or make screenshots have to own physical capture cards and go through the efforts required to set that up to post them. This allows them to keep spoilers and footage of gameplay much more contained to a significantly smaller subset of people. Sega took years and years to stop doing this in every game and even P5R blocked recording and screenshots of new scenes because of what they deemed as spoilers.

        It's extremely dumb but that's their excuse.

            >Western FotNS came with all the quality of life stuff from later patches so we got to take screenshots everywhere except the final chapter.
            Thankfully from Judgment onward there are no restrictions anymore. Just look at how stupidly large this black box is. It's even worse when you record because it's twice as large and hugs the bottom-right corner.

        It's not like "Start" is any less silly and archaic. I can't remember the last time Start specifically was actually used to start something. Should really be called the "Pause" button, or "Skip cutscene" button, or something.
        Also I'd rather just put the actual Select functions on there even if it's called share. Touchpad Press was very obviously the new "Select" because they needed it to not feel like a total waste when people were inevitably going to ignore the actual touch functionality.
