Symmetric is the only way to be. After all my thumbs are in the same spot so should my sticks be.

I've never really understood this logic. Surely that's the case with shooters, but in most other games your left and right thumbs are going to be covering the left stick and face buttons respectively, so your fingers are gonna be staggered most of the time with symmetrical sticks anyway. :

Yeah in a fixed camera game like god of war, but in pretty much every game I play I keep my thumbs on both analog sticks(dualshock).  Not too many games I play have a fixed camera.

Seems like we may simply have a different way of playing some games. I usually hover over the face buttons and move my thumb to the stick to make occasional camera adjustments when necessary.
