Forums - Gaming - What do you prefer - pushing buttons or moving around as a controller?

Are you the type of person that likes to interact with the game by moving around with motion controllers or do you prefer to sit there and only move your thumbs and fingers by pushing buttons?

Sitting down pushing buttons.



Pushing buttons for most games. Some games, the kind that are especially made for it, like Eyetoy, are fun moving around to but not for very long periods of time. It also depends on how it controls, I guess.
My favorite platform is the PC by far and I somehow can't see any use or need for motion controls on the PC for a long, long time to be honest.



Pushing buttons...i love buttons

Pushing buttons. If I really want to move around, I'd go outdoors and play a real sport.

But the mouse is a motion controller

whatever fits best.

For example

Fire Emblem - Motion controls make no sense at all in that game.

Wii Sports - Motion controls make perfect sense in the game, and button pressing seems really lame.

I also like a nice mix if that makes sense too.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Technically, yes. But I'm thinking more about flailing about in a cramped office or bedroom space, pointing various nicknacks at a tiny (compared to TV's) screen and knocking shit over.



Buttons... I very much dislike motion controls.

It's a good thing I've never had to "flail" and knock crap over while playing my Wii games other than golf.

 

(you would think by now that this concept of having to "flail" while playing motion controled games would be dead)
