Is there a flaw in my arguement?
...
Didn't you delete your post just now?
Anyway, a similar argument was present a few pages up.
When I played Devil May Cry, as far as I can remember I didn't use the second analog stick. You expect me to believe this?
If there was only one analog stick, developers of hack n slash button mashers such as Devil May Cry, God Of War and Ninja Gaiden
will simply find an alternative to using the second analog stick, which in this game serves as an extra button or something right?
Developers will just optimise the controls abit, and create the exact same gameplay, with or without a second analog stick.
An example I can use is that the PSP port of god of war, chains of olympus
was fine without that analog stick, and it got fairly high reviews.
From Gamespot review of God Of War Chains of Olympus
"The controls are tight and in general quite good. Learning to evade attacks requires a bit of an adjustment, given that you need to hold both of the shoulder buttons and then move the analog stick, but you get used to it and it works fine. "
From IGN review of God Of War Chains of Olympus
"Though the PSP is missing the L2 and R2 buttons and the right analog stick of the Dual Shock 2, I dare say that the control scheme here works better than on the PS2. Instead of having to use the D-Pad to change between magic types, you now hold R and press a corresponding face button. This means you won't accidentally trigger something you didn't mean to a waste precious magic, and it also means you can switch between them much more easily. Since there isn't a second analog stick, dodging works by pressing L and R at the same time, which again works even better than on the PS2 pad since you don't have to move your thumb off the face buttons. Each of the control changes has been implemented fantastically and you won't miss any of the missing buttons."
Anymore questions?

The God of War series are button mashers, very noob-friendly, and you know what the funny thing is the fact that the right stick is used to evade and not used to munipulate the camera since they are fixed. Games like DMC and NG do not use a fix camera like GoW and Diablo. So this is a moot point.
It has been a long time since I played Devil May Cry 3, and I still think I didn't evade with the second analog stick.
For me, my evasion was to use stinger on another enemy, to gain some distance between the one I was evading
Also, for button mashers, I heard God of War was the best of the best, so I focused more on it.
EDIT:
Oh I see what you mean. But still, stated in the OP, most good third person games have good camera, so you do not need an analog stick to adjust it.

In DMC3 you can not evade with the right stick, I was refering to GoW. In order to evade in DMC3, you have to hold down R1(lock on target) + X and Left stick in any direction to evade.
EDIT- I see that you edited your comment.
Yes there is a purpose. I've been a console gamer for over 25 years, been used to the d-pad, and now dual analog. So far so good, it's worked for me ;)
If I wanted ultra precision, I'd go with KB + M.
The Wiimote DOES have the Potential to be a standard in console control in genres like Railshooters, RTS and FPS (and the usual casual shovelware that flood the Wii). But that's about it, the way I see it. If the Wiimote has proven to be the standard console control, Madden Wii or NBA Live (I don't know if there is one for Wii) would have already skyrocketed in sales, obliterating PS3 and 360 versions. Plus, there would have been a serious sim racer in the same league as Gran Turismo and Forza, on the Wii....for those who enjoy "power" steering in the air, with thier Wheel. :lol:
You haven't played many sports games lately. The right stick works great in madden(you juke the way flick the stick), Fight Night(you punch with the stick), Basketball(you alter your shot with the stick), and they're all very intuitive. Is dual analog ideal in every situation? No. Neither is M/KB, or the Wii mote.My room mate has a 360, and while I admit it has been about a year since I played with a standard game pad, I tried playing CoD:WoW and Fallout 3 on his 360 today. And I gotta say, the controls suck. I play Fallout 3 on the PC and going from mouse to analog is night and day. It's going from one of the most intuitive control systems to the least. I have CoD:WoW on the wii, and while it has less content, I don't care because I can aim and don't need some type of assist system. Most people know that dual analog is the worst system for first person games, but I'm pretty confident that the only reason we put up with it is because on consoles at least there was nothing better. We just got used to it. I remember playing halo when it first came out and having trouble at it. I kept playing and got over the learning curve and got better. But now that I have gone back to dual analog after such a long hiatus, it's apparent to me that the control scheme just sucks. A good controls scheme (mouse or wiimote) is one that just comes natural, not one you have to practice at to make up for its flaws.
What genres ARE dual analog good for? Not shooters, you only need one stick for racers and sports, JRPGs don't need one at all really, WRPGs are better with a pointer, RTSs are better with a pointer...the only thing I can think of are third person adventure games for camera control. But all the best well made adventure games these days have such great camera that you don't even really need camera control.
I enjoy having the 4 face buttons and 4 shoulder buttons easily available, but if Sony and MS plan to improve their games next gen, they need an IR pointer or something similar.

Wait, wait, so you want me to disregard two franchise(DMC and NG) that are the pinnacle of 3rd person action games in favor of your argument? LoL
@dark-warmachine
I haven't played DMC in a long time and had never played Ninja Gaiden.
However, in my memory the camera was fine in DMC, where I used lock on to change my view.
Also the OP has stated camera in most good games are fine, and adjusting it in game detracts from the experience.
@Steppy_76
For a boxing game, motion controls and much more intuitive than dual analogs.
For the rest of the sports games I cannot comment as I hate sports games.
[QUOTE="goblaa"][QUOTE="jakarai"]I am fine with dual analog set up. jasonheyman
Only because you've grown acustom to it. It's still inferior.
Care to explain on the "inferior"??
have to have autoaim in every shooter to make it work without the computer being way to good, I'd love to see you play stalker on the hardest setting with no autoaim with dual analog. controllers great for racers, sport games and gta style games but useless for shooter when there is no autoaim. if gta has no autoaim the k/m would be much better for all on driving parts.[QUOTE="Blackbond"]Well it is a factually inferior tool in FPS.The mouse and keyboard is factually superior in these catagories in regards to fps.
- Speed
- Accuracy
- Precision
jasonheyman
Just out of curiosity but what measures do you say that? Reaction time quicker with hand then finger?
there is no denying the k/m is much better at all of those. maybe one pc and x360 players will be able to play each other with no k/m limitations and then see how good the gamepad really is, just like if you try and play crysis online with a x360 controller and get whipped.@redCloudJ7 and dark-warmachine

No, you haven't proven your point at all. You've only used God of War as your example and you provide no links. Even though the console games are rated higher from everyone and the majority of people and reviewers regarded the console games as better games in the series.
Look through all the Ninja Gaiden II reviews. Notice what they all mention about the game. Its camera. Look at gamespots review of the game. The games camera is one of the biggest problems in the games design. Imagine how much worse the game would be without the second analog stick.
http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/943273.asp?q=ninja%20gaiden%20II
God Hand is impossible to beat without a second analog stick period. It is an absolute necessity. Dmc also requires the second analog stick with its camera as well.
Ninja Gaiden Black gamespot review:
"When it was released last year, Ninja Gaiden earned widespread acclaim, though a couple of common criticisms did stick out. Ninja Gaiden Black directly addresses both of these by introducing a new easier difficulty mode, as well as an option for manual control of the camera perspective."
A second analog stick is helpful.
When a decent wii boxing game comes out I'll concede that point, as Wii Sports boxing isn't intuative. Either way, as I said, NONE of the control methods are ideal in every situation. Some games I like the wiimote, some KB/M, some dual analog, and depending on where your tastes lie different methods will probably constitute different peoples "ideal" control method. All you've done is tout your opinion as fact.@dark-warmachine

Racers don't use dual analogs only one.
God Of War is better with one stick.
Etc etc etc
It doesn't really get in the way for games that don't use it, and those that do, use it well.Rodneythepom
I think this summarises my God of War example.
Developers made use of the dual analog stick because it was there, but when it wasn't there, the controls were still equally good.
Also, of course a spin-off would score lower than the game of the main series.

The thing is, I am unable to find a single reason why the dual analog fpsers can forbear it for so long. I have friends who tell me "I just can't play FPSes on PC", I ask why, and they cannot give me an answer. No, I do not comprehede.
For the best view part, there is no need for the use of an analog stick for the best view. Just preset the few "best" camera angles to the d-pad and there is no need for the second analog stick anymore.

And Like I already said, there's a reason you don't use an anolog stick to click on icons on your PC. Anolog sticks are slow and innacurate. They tried something similar on lap tops, but you don't see it anymore.The fact that there are people who disagree with you makes it opinion. Why can people not accept that not everybody may go along with their opinion? I know many don't go with mine, and I sure as hell don't act like MY way is the ONLY way.
People disagreeing with facts does not make it an opinion.
A long time ago, somebody knew and proved the world was round.
However, people still disagreed, usually using their own set of facts.
So, back then, when the people disagreed with somebody, was the Earth flat? And now, where it is the universal truth, has the Earth suddenly became round?
Hmm, seems like it was Columbus.
[QUOTE="Steppy_76"][QUOTE="Mysterious_Kid"]/facepalm There is no such thing as a universal "best view". Can you not grasp that your opinion is NOT universal nor is it fact? Also, while I agree KB/m is better for FPS's I also know that there are some people who will NOT agree and that that doesn't make them wrong or that they have a "problem". For you it wouldn't make sense to go against your opinoin and preference...for someone who doesn't share those sentiments it wouldn't be logical to go against theirs. Your way is not the only way, comprende?A good camera would give you the best view.
If you still want to change it, it is your problem.
Just like how Keyboard + Mouse is undoubtble better than dual analogs for FPSes, if you wish to switch to an inferior option, it is solely your own nitpick, and I cannot argue with that, as it does not make logical sense.Mysterious_Kid
The thing is, I am unable to find a single reason why the dual analog fpsers can forbear it for so long. I have friends who tell me "I just can't play FPSes on PC", I ask why, and they cannot give me an answer. No, I do not comprehede.
For the best view part, there is no need for the use of an analog stick for the best view. Just preset the few "best" camera angles to the d-pad and there is no need for the second analog stick anymore.
I used to play FPS's exclusively on the PC. It took me a while to get used to the KB/M and got very adept with it. I then got back into consoles last generation and started playing FPS's with a gamepad, it took me a while to get used to the gamepad and I got very adept with it. Different strokes for different folks. What you are saying is that one can't enjoy driving a car if it isn't a Ferrari, what I am saying is that some other cars can still give you a hell of a drive even if not as good as the Ferrari.[QUOTE="psychobrew"][QUOTE="Steppy_76"]For YOU maybe, but not for everybody.

People disagree with all kinds of crazy things, that doesn't make them right. Some people may prefer playing games with cheats, does that make me wrong to say that those people aren't real gamers? Auto aim is just like a cheat, but mad neccessary due to the fact that the controls aren't well suited to the game type. If dual analog were as good as kb/mouse for FPS, auto aim and aim assist would simply not be neccessary. Do some people prefer to play FPS with inferior controls? Sure, but again, that doesn't chang the fact that analog sticks aren't as good as Wii motion or KB/Mouse for this type of game.

A long time ago, people (not sure who Galileo?) knew and proved the world was round.

Ok, whatever dude...If you ever bother to learn what an opinion is I'll discuss things with you, until then live in your own little universe where you are king and nothing else matters.[QUOTE="Steppy_76"][QUOTE="psychobrew"] People disagree with all kinds of crazy things, that doesn't make them right.

But Wii motion works well with every game, dual analog does not. Mouse Keyboard does not. Madden is outdated anyway -- they really need to dome up witha fresh new way of playing the game (first person Madden would be really cool).
