Thank you!!! Playstation controllers are so awkward, especially with FPS and the shoulder buttons on the new six axis are very uncomfortable, to me.Niode wrote:My top 5.
Notice how the Playstation controller isn't in there? That's because it's garbage.
Which console do you think has the best controller?

I voted N64, not because of the durability, but because of how comfortable they are.

When I pick up a PS controller my thumbs both naturally go where the sticks are. If they moved the left stick to where the DPad is I wouldnt be able to use the controller due to thumb cramping.

Re: Which console do you think has the best controller?
the PS analogue controller was excellent, the thumbsticks perfect the shoulder buttons perfect as well.
Racing in GT or something changing the gears with the shoulder 2 buttons rock your finger up to the R1 button to see whats coming up behind. awesome.
Since then though the 360 controller is hard to beat

You must have used the PS Analogue controller before any other analogue controller then.superlarz wrote:Niode wrote: One new flaw since the advent of Analogue controller/dual shock is the fact that almost every single game uses the analogue stick as it's primary method of control, why is it still in a stupid place?

For people like me who experienced 3D control before Sony decided to steal it feel that analogue sticks should be vertically aligned as opposed to horizontally.

Technically the N64 hit two weeks before the Nights 3D controller in Japan, while it beat the N64 by a month in the US.superlarz wrote:First would have been Saturn followed by N64Niode wrote:You must have used the PS Analogue controller before any other analogue controller then.superlarz wrote:When I pick up a PS controller my thumbs both naturally go where the sticks are.

N64's stick being first would explain why it is so un-durable in comparison to the other two.Niode wrote:Correct-a-mundo.MrPopo wrote:Technically the N64 hit two weeks before the Nights 3D controller in Japan, while it beat the N64 by a month in the US.superlarz wrote: First would have been Saturn followed by N64
