Xbox Controller Experience?

[Drybonz]

Can anyone using an Xbox controller comment on whether the game is still a good experience without the PS controller?

[Lycon]

Why would it not be the same experience?

[Drybonz]

Because the game, apparently, uses the PS controller exclusive features heavily. Looking for comments, specifically, from people who have experience with both if possible.

i have both controllers and besides the adaptive triggers and the swoosh across the track pad for the wind direction its the same.

It's good as in any other game with controller, you just don't have haptic feedback on triggers on xbox controller cause it's DualSense feature

[Drybonz]

Do you miss having the adaptive triggers, or doesn't really matter? I'm mainly asking because I don't have a PS controller. Thanks.

I think Ghost of Tsushima has one of the best implementations of the dualsense and its' features but I will still grab my Xbox Series Controller because of the comfort. :)

It is cool to try but it hurts your fingers if you play for extended periods, I turned the adaptive triggers off during my PS5 playthrough.

Using the default steam input. Hold right on the D-pad then use the right stick to select the action.
It feels clunky at first but you'll get used to it.
Help spread this around. The game doesn't tell you how to properly use it.

Ok I want to ask. How do the features that worked only with the touchpad work with XBOX controller (Wind, Character bow, Hiding weapon, Flute).

Are they assigned to another button combo or something else ?

Honestly it's pretty much the same as using a ps4/5 controller except for the gestures. There's a bypass using the D-pad for it.

It works perfectly on my Elite 2.
Button combo for the wind kins of sucks but small price to pay to use what is imo a much better controller.
As for haptic feedback in triggers I ALWAYS turn that off on ps5 anyways. No interest in finger wrestling my triggers

Hold right on the D-pad and it brings up the Gesture menu, from there you flick the right stick for the gesture you want to perform.
