No. The battery life is terrible, as is the flashlight ruining horror games(night gaming). Also, the shoulder buttons will stick, and the analog sticks are made of poor material. The Dualshock 3 is still the most versatile controller and it's lasted me 5 years.
Edit: I wish they would have gone with AA batteries like the X1 pad. Changing rechargeable eneloops is much better than being stuck with usb charging.
@RiKanKiDD: I treat my pads like gold. My DS3 is 2 years old and it looks/plays brand new. When you're using the r1 button for a game that requires it and it starts to stick/click it wasn't because of user error. I'm just letting you guys know that it happened to me twice and that it *may* be a problem.
My DS3 is built like a rock and has lasted years with no problems. I've owned these 2 DS4s and the same problems arise within hours. The shoulder buttons wear down fast, especially in games like Dark Souls or Warframe. I've decided to return mine until I hear of a proper revision being made. Others have had issues with the analog sticks as well.
I've already gone through 2 DS4 controllers with problematic shoulder buttons. Playing Dark Souls will give them a rigorous test, and after awhile the r1 button becomes mushy and then it starts sticking/clicking. Anyone here having this problem already? If you aren't having this issue, try a game that requires constant use of the l1/r1 buttons. I'm not a hater or a fanboy, just disappointed with the quality of the buttons.
You really need to shut your mouth. The games you like are dreary FPS games. Get out of whatever dark Eastern European country you live in and enjoy the tropics. Also, make some friends then maybe you won't mind multiplayer.
I love the DS4 but the r1 button has started to stick on me. I'll have to exchange it. The XBone controller is a POS(shitty dpad, shoulder buttons), but it will be a favorite of cheetos dust-infested American sausage fingeritis hands.
