Why the 360 controller is superior

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="ChubbyGuy40"]

Like hell it is. Much better grip, no battery pack, and weighs less. Analog stick placement feels so much better, especially since they're at the same height. Triggers don't suck. It doesn't have triggers, it has buttons. Triggers are for firing mechanisms.

Don't know why anyone would want to play with the bulky, clumsy 360 piece of crap.

DrakesHaloGears

The 360 controller has the right heft, your thumbs naturally reach the analogs, the buttons are placed perfectly second only to the GCN controller, the triggers are a dream come true, the vibration feedback is incredible. The PS3 controller won't even let me change my batter if its battery runs out, which it has. I am in essence stuck with a wired controller. The Dualshock is a relic of its era, an era that is now more than 15 years in the past, and it shows. The controller is cramped, the analog stick placement makes no sense, and overall, it is unsuited to modern gaming. I'm sorry, but that's just how it is.charizard1605

You praise the Gamecube controller. Sorry, but your opinion is no longer valid.

How many times have you charged your controller? I've had all of mine since 2008. None die yet and they all last about 10 hours worth. Modern gaming is all about shooters bro. You need both sticks for that. Placement of them being the same height is perfect. I know you lems love buying crappy products, but damn you think you'd know when you're getting a crappy product.

Chubby do you use 360 or PS3/motionjoy on your comp?

whiskeystrike

PS3 and Motioninjoy. Better controller and more customization, plus I don't have to buy some licensed piece of crap if I want wireless.

What if the crumbs get into my controller :(

This also promotes being a fatass since you'll never have to leave the seat unless you want to take a dump

NoodleFighter

PS3 controller then. Easier to take apart and put back together.

They'll figure out something for that next.

Am I the only one that thinks L1/R1 > LB/RB and L2/R2 < LT/RT?

[QUOTE="ChubbyGuy40"]

[QUOTE="mems_1224"] you must have some tiny hands if you think the analogue placement feels better. they're not nearly as responsive. and the triggers are the premature ejaculation of controllers. you barely touch them and they just blow their load all over the screen. they feel flimsy as well. the whole controller just feels cheap. you cant even charge it with the console turned off and the cable that comes with it is super short.mems_1224

Nope. Only American size hands here, which are medium-large. The sticks just feel so much more easier to use. Not quite circle pad easy, but a lot more comfortable than the crap found on the 360 pad. Buttons are quicker to respond, and the D-Pad isn't ass. Analog back-buttons don't bother me any, since I switch any button that shooters to L1/R1, as it should be.

At least I can charge it out of the box. I use them on my PC as well, and they charge while it's off. Cable length doesn't matter. I have 4 15ft cords for them before I bought a bluetooth adapter. They were maybe .60c each.

Am I the only one that thinks L1/R1 > LB/RB and L2/R2 < LT/RT?

360 has amazing triggers and analog sticks.

PS3's buttons and directional buttons feel better.

Wiimote is good for Nintendo games but that's all I'll say.

Keyboard and mouse is vital to a key few genres, but is overall overrated on this board. I don't like WASD for movement centric games.

well i mostly play shooters and ps3 controller is unusable for me. joysticks are too cramped, using L1/R1 is stupid for shooters and the flimsy triggers are useless for anything. mems_1224

Sorry, but no. That's a very flawed argument. With shooters you either shoot, or you don't. There is no need for pressure sensitive buttons. They will only increase those few milliseconds of time it takes for the action to go off. With a regular button such as L1/R1, you don't have this problem. Why devs always map the fire button to the back buttons is mind-boggling.

Nothing wrong with the 360s analogue stick placement or the triggers. My only beef is RB/LB arent that comfortable for me to use repeatedly.

well there is a reason the 360 is the lead platform for the biggest shooters out there so you're probably in the minority. mems_1224

Lead platform because it's easier than the PS3 to develop for. The only difference between the PS3 and 360 versions are nothing devs couldn't fix with 1-2 weeks of work.

I am PC, so if me not buying Bros of War 3 or Modern Brofare 3 means minority, then sign me up.

I only praise what is largely regarded to be one of the, if not the, most comfortable and best controller ever released. And I Don't know, I didn't keep count :? All I know is that my controller ran out of battery in two years, and I had to keep them tethered. And shooters is what the 360 controller is so good at. Also, did you just call me a lem? :|charizard1605

I gave my Wavebird to my cousins when I sold them my Wii. Small controller, obtrusive battery pack, felt more painful to grab it than anything, crappy L/R buttons that felt like a child's toy. Oh, and the analog stick sucks. Now THAT is uncomfortable. I never hear anyone outside of GS praise that controller. If anyone brings it up, it's because of Smash Bros. Those are the few who refuse to move onto the vastly superior CCP.

And yes I did, lemmy Mclem.

] good for you. it doesnt change the fact that since halo launched every shooter has used it as a template on how to do a shooter on consoles. think whatever you want, the halo franchise is the most inspirational shooter on consoles. and its all thanks to the hamburger controller and its triggers mems_1224

No s**t. It has such wide appeal because of how casual it is. Same reason why CoD trumps it now.

I love how this thread turned into which controller is better. The fact is, PS3 controller doesn't have a hot pocket holder, but PS3 system itself is superior to 360, because you can cook hotpockets on top of it. chocooman

Yep. This thread went the completely opposite direction I intended for it. Knew it was gonna happen though.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"]

No keyboard/mouse for an FPS automatically means casual. Not to mention the incredible amount of auto-aim it has. Intentionally handicapping yourself doesn't make you not casual.

Not at all. Casual games are casual. When they're made to appeal to a wide target audience, you have no other choice unless you want it to fail.

To be a manticore you have to have a holier than thou attitude and act like you don't have a preference to any of the systems.

Manticores are fanboys, they're just fanboys of themselves... the worst kind.

Trust me, I've almost never heard anyone criticize that controller, you're among the first. Then again, you're also criticizing the Xbox controller.

And I guess the cycle is complete then! I've been called everything by now! Sheep, cow, lemming and hermit! Does that make me a manticore? :ocharizard1605

Mostly because no one played the Gamecube, cause it didn't sell! :o /snap

Also the Xbox controller was even worse than the GC's controller. Hell I'd rather play with the Dreamcast's.

No. It makes you normal. Welcome to the club.
