PS3 trigger buttons.

[QUOTE="dercoo"]

They are not triggers.:evil:

R1 is the one true shoot option, its been that way since before the PS2.

Why change now for 360 fanboys.

R1 >>> R2

Gxgear

So true.

Yeah, I agree. I remember playing Borderlands for the first time and it defaulted to R2/L2 for shoot/aim. I quickly had to change. Also, I've always liked the feel of cooking grenades with R2 and L2. I don't have any problems with either controller though (besides missing USB recharging on the 360 controller, but if it was that much of a problem for me, I could pay to fix it lol).

[QUOTE="heretrix"]

Nay, but Real Triggers fixed the problem. The controller still feels flimsy to me though.

dvalo9

the real triggers are better than the default 360's. but the 360's are way better than default r2+l2.

Yay or Nay?Michael324

They suck. It's really irritating when a game uses them instead of R1/L1 for shootingParasomniac

For FPS, on the X360 I can see they use the trigger because of their location on the controller. For the Ps3 I have no idea why games default to them. A gun doesn't need an analogue control, can acceleration does. :)

So forget FPS and answer like you're playing a driving game

Thats the point. R2/L2 where not meant to be the main fire and aim. They are meant as support buttons (like cocking grenades or alternative fire).

For the PS3 it was meant to keep R1/L1 as the main shot and aim buttons.

Like it should be.

Never had troubles with it so yay

Way better then the stupid pressure sensitive face buttons on PS2. There is a reason that every other console uses pressure sensitive triggers instead.

I don't think you need a PSN ID to know the controller.....especially when the dualshock 2 gives you 90% of the experience...

otherwise,(ignoring a few opinions here) the 360 isn't too great for D-pad and the battery pack. how the battery pack protrudes at least.

I have huge hands, and I've never had that problem.

"Meh" Don't really care either way.

I don't mind using them, but they aren't the greatest.

Both the ps3 and 360 are flawed, but they still beat 3rd party.

The triggers need more to be more sensitive and spring-up slower than what it is now, bigger handlebars (there so tiny not even my small hands can grip). The sticks are too high, should be stubbier and grippier.

D-pad and abxy ( square,circles) buttons are great, imo.

[QUOTE="Rockman999"][QUOTE="lamprey263"] your fingers go absolutely nowhere near the battery pack, why should that matter?magnax1

Mostly the same except I have my index on the bumpers and middle fingers on the triggers.

[QUOTE="KarateeeChop"]

the ps3's trigger buttons are just horrible. the 360's controller is superior to dualshock is every way.

1stPlaceWinner

The "triggers" are awful, which is why hardly any shooters on the PS3 use them for aiming and firing (like they should be). Makes the control scheme of most PS3 games awkward while their counterparts feel more fluid on the Xbox 360. I suppose the PS3 triggers = Xbox 360 Dpad.CuteCakes

hardly any shooters?

magnax1

What do you mean? How are pressure sensitive buttons stupid? The first console I was aware of that used a pressure sensitive triggers anyway was the original Xbox, which isn't every other console.

Nay. They're absolutely terrible. The real triggers made it a whole lot better. Best $5 I ever spent.

No, you can actually use the PS3 triggers.

I don't see anything wrong with PS3's trigger buttons. I just don't understand what the problem is with them. It confuses me.

I can't hold my PS3 controller like that because the little grippy horn things are to small. I just hate the PS3/2/1 controller in general. Tiny, and the two thumb sticks right next to eachother is extremely uncomfortable. I wish they'd get rid of it, it was okay compared to its competition when it was designed, but now it just sucks.

Hay.

They arent grat, they arent terrible.

Na thats why I bought these

Now the one problem I had witht he controller is gone.

nah, it's much more sensible and comfortable for the trigger buttons to be in the back.

This. It's nice to have options. Like them? Keep them how they are. Don't like them? Buy the 3 dollar (or however much they cost) real trigger adapters.

No, your index fingers more easily align with the R1/L1 buttons on the DS3. So they should cover the primary actions (aiming and shooting)

not for me, i still prefer them to be in the back. i was playing uncharted 2 this past weekend and it was annoying and uncomfortable for me to use the R1/L1 to aim and shoot. obviously i got used to it after a while but i would definitely prefer to use the R2/L2 buttons if they weren't so crappy on the DS3.

Your fingers can slip off of it so ... Nay. I'm no fan of X360's either because you can really hear the spring - sounds very cheap.

I didn't know the Xbox controller was original and unique. I mean, the triggers, of all things, were, but they weren't bad.

it didn't really do anything differently than that:| so sure.......I'm sure that boomerang controller would've outclassed it in crappiness though. a feat of its own.

[QUOTE="CuteCakes"][QUOTE="Rockman999"]Ahh there you go, see that's exactly how I hold my PS3 controller so I'm used to pulling the "firing" button with my index finger but in order for me to replicate the same action on a 360 controller I have to move my fingers down which leads to my middle fingers bumping into the battery pack.dark-warmachine

the battery pack restricts absolutely NOTHING. have you used a 360 controller before?
