Since this afternoon, my PS4 controller has been malfunctioning. Obviously it’s what I did yesterday. First started trying to load GTA V. It sat at ‘Loading Story Mode (90%)’ for a good 15 minutes for no reason. No error or anything letting me know it’s something I did.<\/p>\n
My other games, Little Big Planet 3\/The Swapper\/InFAMOUS First Light, they too had issues.
\nLittle Big Planet 3, the controls wouldn’t function.
\nInFAMOUS First Light, wouldn’t load fully.
\nThe Swapper, the controls wouldn’t function.<\/p>\n
After some time, I finally isolated it to my controller. Some of the games will refuse to work if the controller is malfunctioning(GTA V and InFAMOUS First Light). I have to put a bobby pin inside a hole on the back of my controller to reset it. After hitting the PS button, the controller functions correctly.
\nI have to do this every time I launch a game(twice for Little Big Planet 3). I don’t have the money for a replacement controller, so I have to hope this thing will continue to work until I do.<\/p>\n
And when I do, I’ve learned not to take my anger out on it. As the controller is a cheap made (yet expensive) piece of crap.<\/p>\n
EDIT: Discovered I cannot play Little Big Planet 3. Resetting it, my L and R buttons refuse to work. Reset it again, and the Triangle, Square, Circle, and X buttons refuse to work (but the L and R buttons work). Resetting it even more than that is pointless, as it just won’t work.
\nI can’t play it now, all because of my fucking anger over failing and time limits!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
