| twesterm said: That's a really hard question. I would say out of current controllers the 360 has it, it really is just a good all around controller (other than the D-Pad). There are other great controllers for many different reasons, but I'm just going to keep it simple and say the 360 controller. My least favorite controller is probably the Wii Classic Controller or the PS3 SIXAXIS. I love the feel of the Classic Controller and the layout, but I hate the cord at the top and the fact it doesn't have rumble bothers me, still though, it's comfortable. I actually think I like the SIXAXIS less than the Classic Controller because it's just not comfortable, the tilt doesn't feel great, and no rumble. I use to love the Duelshock design, but after holding the Wii Remote and 360 controllers, it's just so uncomfortable. Add on to that the fact it doesn't have rumble and the tilt really doesn't do much for me and you have my least favorite controller. |
I'm happy to know that DualShock fans can be brought to their senses once they've actually held a comfortable controller. :)
I'll say the DualShock is my least favorite, but I don't think I have a favorite. All of Nintendo's controllers have been awesome, but in very different ways. The N64 controller still has the most accurate analog stick, it's just a shame that it wears out after heavy use. The SNES gamepad is the epitome of simplicity and function; it was simply perfect for the games of its time and set the standard for all future controllers. The 360 gamepad (and Xbox controller S) is a great all around controller, and probably has the best analog triggers, very helpful for racing games that use them as pedals, but I'm not fond of its D-pad; it reminds me of the Saturn's D-Pad, which was the worst D-pad in the history of video gaming. The Gamecube controller gets props for its accurate and sturdy analog stick, though the C stick kinda sucks, the D-pad is far too small and out of reach, and the button configuration is a little odd (but seems to work fine for most games).
Obviously, the Wii Remote is something special. Maybe I'll declare it as my favorite after blasting some more targets in Wii Play. :)
