People who don't like paddles are probably the same weirdos who still hold a face button to sprint in Souls games. Lol so gross. Hey remember tapping X to run in games? That was probably fine too right?
In DeS remake I had to swap L2 parry to R3 in order to have sprint on L2, to retain full camera control in combat... that was annoying enough thanks to the paddle-less dualsense. It's hilarious to literally run circles around people in pvp who are using the ancient control scheme.
Thanks to paddles, my bindings in games like Spider-Man and Gravity Rush 2 make them feel like completely different games. The level of control and fluidity when you always have camera control cannot be overstated.
