I am sorry but if you cannot figure out how to push the correct buttons you are a fucking moron. My cousin of 4 played my PS3 just fine. The controller was a little big for his teeny hands, but he was able to play sonic unleashed with few problems. I had to help him with some stuff sure. But that is only because he couldn't hit the shoulder buttons with his short fingers. Anyone who says that Ps3/360- controls are too "advanced" for new players. . . they are stupid. Just a heads up. Most games you just use one stick and the four face buttons. How fucking hard is it to do that? It isn't that they can't do it. They just have no interest in it. |
First, cursing isn't going to help your point any, in fact, it makes it less valid.
Secondly, you're too young to remember the origins of controls. The short of it - controls used to be very simple. As they got more advanced during the SNES/Genesis era (6+ buttons) more of the "casual" crowd died out. Now that controls have become simplified with the Wii again, these old gamers came out of the cracks. Its not that the little kids can't get it, its that the older ones that have been out of the loop can't.
Lastly, Sony really pushed things in an odd direction, choosing shapes over the traditional A,B, C, D etc names for buttons. They made it even less logical for anyone but core gamers.
And for the record, I DO say that the PS3 controls are harder for a new player to play pickup games, and stupid or not, Im a developer. My observations have been ongoing the whole time, watching the userbase change since the days of the N64 and PS1 to more and more of a core market.
You might want to change your tone a bit, before you get yourself banned. As you say, "just a heads up".
