This is very encouraging to me. I'm planning on getting the PS4 and the controller has been my biggest hangup. I love the 360 controller, and like you, I consider it close to perfect apart from the dpad (which I almost never need to use). On the other hand, I hate the DS3 to a degree that many would consider irrational. I mean I absolutely despise that controller, and when I hear people say they like it, I want to grab them by the collar and shake them while explaining to them why it is objectively awful. Ahem...so yeah, I hate the DS3.This seems to be thing though across many gamers. All four of us liked the DS4 better even though we think the 360 controller is pretty much perfect apart from the dpad. It's like I'm living in bizarro land where the DS4 is good and the one controller is so-so.
Due to that, I almost can't get my brain to accept that the DS4 will be good. I fully expect it to be improved significantly, but I'm still incredibly skeptical due to my DS3 hatred. After reading your comments and the others from this thread, I'm starting to lose some of that skepticism. I'll probably need to use the dang thing before I can fully accept that it is as good as people are saying, but I'm starting to believe. Thanks for the impressions. Bizarro land indeed.
