    Holy fuck I’m sick of seeing this guy everywhere. People keep posting his shit and saying, “wow this guy gets it! An American who doesn’t fall for the woke agenda!”

    I like how china’s investment strategy is “just own a bunch of shares in popular western studios and IPs, then just let them do whatever.” Then westerners feel compelled to start pandering to Chinese audiences even though the Chinese investors are just interested in making money with existing services, and the updates and subsequent games become dogshit and Chinese investors feel compelled to step in and show them how to correctly pander, which leads to Assmold type streamers to soyface about China

    Gamers: “I HATE CHINESE, REGION LOCK CHINA THEY ALL CHEAT.”

    China: “We will make our own gaming ecosystem.”

    Gamers: Incoherent screaming, pissing and shitting

    one of the reason that cloning happens is because china has very strict laws on what can be depicted in games, no nudity, blood, death, etc. so a lot of these chinese-local games are simply filling in the gaps of western games that will never release there to begin with

    Can China clone a controller with hall effect sticks and decent build quality because the build quality of controllers PS4/XB1/Switch and up has been noticeably worse.

    Other than the N64 controller I don’t think I’ve regularly had issues with a first-party controller until nowadays. I recently had to fix a bad solder on a PS2 controller because its rumble was cutting out but that’s about it. PS3 control sticks would be filled to dust because of the plastic stick being sawed through by the controller body and still work while my lightly used XB1 controller I only used for PC got wicked drift after a couple years, PS4 controller on my used PS4 slim I got had to be replaced, and my Switch left joycon developed drift (and I replaced it with some hall effect sticks so should never happen again).

    Oh, I had to fix a Sega Saturn 3D pad’s left trigger button because the magnet it had inside it (even had hall effect triggers) had fallen out somehow.

      Was playing an FPS at a friend’s house after 1.5 decades of Mouse and Keyboard gaming and noticed controllers are 1: bad for FPS and 2: worse than I remember.

      Or maybe I was simply better at FPS games when I was 16 playing Modern Warfare 2.

      They already do. I bought a Flydigi Vader 3 Pro at the end of last year and it has been amazing so far. Still feels like new and I use it a lot. There’s also other highly regarded controllers like those from GuliKit and from 8bitdo.

        Flydigi Vader 3 Pro

        Heyo I was about to recommend that controller, which I also bought at the end of last year.

        My sales pitch is that it does everything the fancy “Elite” controller from Microsoft does, but also has gyro, Hall effect sticks, 6 face buttons, Switch/Android support and cost me literally almost 4 times less. And has gamer RGB lights.

        The only con I have is that the mfer is noisy cause the buttons are very clicky

          It’s absolutely great! I don’t mind the noise cause I really like the feeling of the buttons. My gripe with it is that their software only runs on Windows, it sucks to have to boot a VM to be able to configure the buttons, at least it lets me configure 4 different profiles. I also saw they just released the Vader 4 Pro, looks cool but doesn’t seem like a big upgrade.

      The best controller I have ever had is a Xbox 360 Pro Wireless controller. I still use that shit for computer stuff and it works so well. XB1 controllers are such crap compared to it. Honestly most gaming peripherals have been getting noticably worse in build quality.
