you should try, I consider the technique very convenient and, with practice, the movement becomes very natural to do things like changing weapons and selecting items. it's one of the things I like in symmetrical controls, just make a regular grip and slide your index finger into the dpad when needed. |
Well I don't remember being troubled by not being able to fast enough go from analog to d-pad, but I'll consider it if I decide to play Souls.

The reason I made my post is because I'm reading things that are blatantly false. Intentionally false, said in a manner where it's clear the person is trolling. In particular, it was the statement BraLod made saying that no other company is allowed to have a symmetrical layout because Sony patented it. Here's an equivalent statement: Sony wasn't allowed to use cartridges on the PS1 because Nintendo patented the idea, so they were forced to go with the inferior disc-based technology. Clearly, the point I'm making is untrue, and it makes assumptions that are false. Sony is not the only company that has a symmetrical analog layout, so the whole patent thing is untrue. Also, you can't have an intelligent discussion in which you force assumptions like that. Also, who cares if one company copied another. Why do you feel the need to try and come up with a reason for Sony to have created the PS1 analog sticks without being influenced by the N64. Clearly you would prefer that it wasn't copied off Nintendo, otherwise you wouldn't have thrown so many different reasons about it. Why do you feel that way? In an interesting turn of events, I am really curious now to learn about your view of the big three. Do you only play games on Sony platforms? Do you avoid playing games on Nintendo platforms, and why? Is there something about Nintendo that caused you to not like them (i.e., the way they run their business)? Lastly, would you identify yourself as a fanboy? |
If you think someone is trolling make a report.
Do you have evidence that Sony didn't patent the design of the controllers? Because you are saying he is lying, you probably can prove it right?
You may have a patent and not sue small companies that break your patent, can also license it to partners. On the cartridge we are plenty sure it wasn't due to patent in cartridge because not only there were cartridges before Nintendo entered console but also Sony used CD (won't enter the quality discussion) because that was what they were working with Nintendo before the deal died.
If you think it isn't important why did you brought it up? I gave reasons why it likely isn't a copy based on the success of N64 as you claimed.
I have all consoles from Sega, X360, will complete my Nintendo consoles with Switch this year. I certainly favor Sony and call accept myself as a fanboy (although I wouldn't call or ask someone is a fanboy over here). I don't avoid Nintendo, I play several of their games, just not my favorites. Not sure what this have to do with the point.
If you want a reason for the reply besides you bringing the point, would be that in this forum is quite common to have claims that Sony only copies Nintendo all the time.

It's also important to note that the OG Dual Analog was just continuation of their work with analog sticks, most notably the Analog Flight Controller. They were most likely looking to shrink it down to fit into your hands, because its bulky size is why it didn't sell well in Japan, which is the reason why the DA controller has a Flightstick setting. |
Yes people don't understand that it have possibility that something was already on the work before a competitor revealed their idea. Or even that they may have been influenced but would probably have gotten there without that influence because that was the natural path on their development.

Right. I have also purchased more DS controllers than any other controller I own. I have probably owned 20 or so PS controllers over the course of my life. But even I can admit that the Xbone controllers are generally rated better. And because you made me doubt myself, I did a quick Google search for "which console has the best controller" and the top result also claims Xbox as the winner. Do I like the Xbox controller the most? I'm not sure, probably not (the 360 controller was the last I owned). But I recognize that people in general seem to like it. What's weird is that I'm not taking sides here. But I'm also capable of seeing things the way they are. I don't know you, but you come across as someone who would defend any point in favor of Sony no matter what it is. I asked someone else a similar question, and now I'm curious to learn about you. I'm not trying to sound condescending or anything, but I'm curious if you would classify yourself as a fanboy? Do you dislike Nintendo or Microsoft? Why is that? Do you only play games on Sony home consoles? Just want to say I'm a super nice person and have never been in a fight in my life. Most people seem to like me. Maybe we can be friends. :) |
Yes there are several people that claim or evaluate X360 as the better controller. They may even be the majority does that prove it is the better?
You really want to cause problem right? Why don't you present yourself on the self-indulging questions you are making.

It is a bad argument to bring sales into this. Cause the Wiimote sold a lot too. Do you think that makes it one of the best controllers? By your logic? |
abou 19 years playing on DS and never felt akward.
