5 Reasons Why Every Controller Should be like the Xbox 360 Controller

[QUOTE="RR360DD"]

People who actually prefer the dualshock must have small hands, therefore small dicks. The 360 controller is the closest thing to perfection we have, anyone who says otherwise is a pus$y

Calling someone fanboy when he plays on PC as a main platform, and also plays on Xbox 360... Yeah right.

No, 360 analog sticks are way too stiff.

If you look at it objectively, the Dualshock is FACTUALLY better.

Less Deadzone.

Pressure sensitive face buttons.

Rechargeable out of the box.

Sixaxis support.

Vastly superior D-Pad.

Way more flexible in terms of compatibility for different genres.

The Dualshock wins.

I prefer the PS3 controller over the Xbox, after an hour or two of gameplay you don't generally notice the small feeling of the controller and have a more natural feeling and you won't ever again unless you switch controllers for a period of time or don't use it for a very long time.

The 360 controller feels the most comfortable.Lonelynight

How is it the most comfortable when I never forget that it's in my hands?

With the DualShock 3, I easily forget that I'm holding it. That means comfort.

It's an ok controller, but I prefer the PS3 one because I grew up with it. People that say the PS3 controller is crap are just being silly, give it a chance and you'll get used to it. My complaint with 360 one is I find the sticks to be slower and less accurate than the PS3 ones.

Sorry, but ergonomically the 360 pad is better than the dualshock, and thats fact, not opinion. Thats what matters most.

People saying sixaxis is a plus for the dualshock .... :lol: biggest waste of time ever. The triggers are inferior on the dualshock, the stick layout. Also, the convex thumbsticks means your thumbs slip more than with the concave thumbsticks on the 360 pad.

The ONLY thing the dualshock has over the 360 pad is the Dpad, which is barely in the vast majority of games today. Even build quality, the 360 wins because the dualshock is built of out cheaper plastic and feels lighters in the hand.

[QUOTE="joojtzu"][QUOTE="OhJayDubya"] Its just preference, not everyone will have the same as you. OhJayDubya

Well i wasnt sure if you had noticed, I was being a decent System Warrior and passing the information. I understand where you are coming from with the PS3 controller being to small, I found the Original Analog Controller to be the most comfortable for its larger size. The D-Pad sucks more rectum than the centipede filmon the 360. Its really preference at the end of it, I like 360 over PS3 but i find the Classic Controller Pro for the Wii to be the most comfortable but its not used to much for games. I get use to one or the other after a while anyways as i have a 360 and my friends pretty much all own a PS3.

I dislike the 3DS for it being to small for my hands. I dont dislike the console just the size.

I agree with everything but the first one. The sticks are not perfectly placed, they're uneven. The Wii U will fix that problem.

Six-Axis seemed okay. But, on the two games I used it on: KZ3 and Heavy Rain, I was less than impressed.

1. It wasn't that precise when I used it in KZ3 (eg opening gates in the early levels). I needed 2 or 3 tries before it worked. I also can't disable it in the game which sucks.

2. It was even worse in Heavy Rain. Maybe it's just the game. But, the motion-sensitive sequences were pretty bad. If I wanted motion control for the PS3, I'd stick with a Move. It's okay if I can adjust the sensitivity to make shorter movements. But, I can't. Brushing the teeth in the tutorial takes a lot more effort than brushing in real life.

-----

I haven't used the 360 D-Pad much except in games like Bioshock and Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (both on the PC). The D-Pad wasn't a liability with those games. It worked fine. I suppose if I ever get into fighting games on the PC, I'll have to consider a 3rd-party controller with a good D-Pad. I played 360 games with friends (or their kids) on occasion. I didn't see any problems with most games.

My biggest beef with Sony PS3 controllers is durability. It feels cheap unlike the console itself which is top-notch. My youngest kid got her hands on the wireless DS3 and now the right trigger feels weak and there's plastic loose inside. I'll have to open the DS3 up and see what she broke. The 360 controller feels very robust in comparison. RROD aside, Microsoft makes some very tough components. I remember the Microsoft Sidewinder 3D Pro and Sidewinder Gamepad, both for the PC. They're legend for durability. The same goes for the 360 controller.

I agree.

Perhaps it's because I didn't grow up on Playstation consoles but I've never liked the DualShock controller design and I don't think I ever will. The 360 controller is better in every way to me (well, besides the lack of an internal rechargeable battery).

the 360 controller is the best I've ever used, but choice is good. Personally I'm all for the various hardware manufacturers blatnatly ripping eachother off and selling both a 360-style and dual-shock style controller first-party.

That's why I bought a PS3 controller with a 360 layout. Feels more durable too :lol:

Now I'm happy gaming on the PS3 unless the game has six-axis.

I don't think there's one genre where the 360 controller is best in.... FPS/TPS games - Wiimote RTS games - WiiU pad RPG games - WiiU pad Sports games - Probably WiiU again Racing games - Racing wheel Fighting games - anything other than 360 controller idk maybe it's good for action-adventure? Even then I bet the DualShock 3 is betterSilenthps

I like that you're assuming the Wii U pad would be best at certain genres without actual experience...

And for FPS/TPS games? Please. I'd take the 360 pad over the Wiimote any day.

I agree. I hate using the DS3 after using the 360 controller; only thing the Xbox 360 controller really needs to nail down is the d-pad and then it's perfect, which even isn't that big of a deal considering it's not that essential in the vast majority of games.Stevo_the_gamer

I have the 360 controller with the transforming d-pad. Problem solved. :P

Yeah, I got it at a discounted rate for like $40. I thought the full price was outrageous too.

360 controller is amazing but no, controllers shouldn't all be alike across all the big 3. kinda boring.

I hope MS keeps the controller design for 720 and not change it for change sake. It's the product of 25 years of gaming evolution. It's pretty much perfect.

I like Dualshock but DS3 is sh*t. Crappy slippery convex triggers and convex sticks are terrible.

[QUOTE="N30F3N1X"]

The asymmetric sticks are terrible.

So I see...

moot point that applies to every standard controller since last gen, and

vague opinion

Anyways its a fine controller. As long as I don't have to use the Dpad heavily in a game then it works.

I still prefer the dpad, face buttons, stick layout and overall form factor of the DS3. All I want from the 360 pad is the concave analog tips.

How the FUUU are you supposed to play an RTS or a MOBA with this piece of SHHH!?SKaREO

I agree but no gaming controllers in 2012 should use AA batteries and *clicky* buttons as seen on the Razer Onza should be on every controller. Since i bought it i can't go back to that cheap feel MS controllers havesilversix_

I'm holding both the 360 controller and Sony's DS3 here. The DS3 is definitely the cheaper-feeling of the two.

• Perfect Joystick Layout

The Xbox 360 controller has the perfect joystick layout. With one joystick on the upper left corner and the other in the bottom right, you just cant beat it. Compared to the dual center style joystick layout (for example a PS3 controller), it feels more natural and comfortable.

This is because it doesnt have that awkward weight offset from both of your thumbs applying pressure to the middle of the controller. In the Xbox 360 controller you hold both sides, but you also kind of hold the front and the back because the joysticks are distributed on the top and the bottom. This works out really well when you get into an intense game, like an online multiplayer match.

• Size

Well Im going to go ahead and say it, size matters! If a controller is too small it can be very uncomfortable to people with large hands. Maybe you wouldnt be able to hit all the buttons precisely or the controller just flat-out wouldnt be comfortable to hold.



Either way the controller cant be too small or too big. The Xbox 360 controller is just the right size for comfortability and to allow you to be precise when pressing buttons.

• Comfortability

Holding an Xbox 360 controller in your hands just feels right. It feels like an extension of your fingertips, and not like a clunky piece of plastic.

It has excellently sized handles on each side of the controller. This really allows you to hold on to the controller and not lose your grip during play.

• Just the Right Amount of Complexity

With 4 main buttons, 2 joysticks, 2 pressure pads, 2 bumper pads, start, select, and 1 d-pad, it has just the right amount of complexity to suit almost any games needs.

From first person shooter to simulation to more casual games, the Xbox 360 controller allows for a great platform for developers to set the controls too. Now of course this is up to the developer of each individual game to actually set decent controls for the game, but this provides the proper framework for developers to work with.

• Great Control

The Xbox 360 controller has great response. You can be very precise in the control of your character while playing. If you go left your character will actually go left.
