I love it when you list games that aren't even released yet. It's even better when you only list unreleased games. |

Ignoring the hilarious colonelstupid comment (must have taken you hours to come up with that gem) yes of course i have held a 360 pad. I also held a pad for the original xbox. I have played for many hours on Halo 2 and 3, and im sorry, but for FPS the playstation controller is better. And for sports games. And racing games. I would very much like to meet you in person and see if you call me stupid to my face. I would guess not |
I don't like calling people names but I just couldn't help it when i saw your post and i've noticed that your overall tone has sunk to this level on a wider range of your posts. You sound to me like you are bringing in some kind of football fanatacism to your console war, which is definately a bad mixture.

LOL. You keep rocking that controller designed around a d-pad and I'll keep enjoying a controller built for hands larger than a six year old with an analog stick positioned right where your left thumb naturally sits. PS. Convex triggers are teh suck. I have no idea why Sony thought those were a good idea. They manage to continually take an outdated controller and make it worse. |
I don't really want to talk about the individual systems but I would like to talk about the controllers here.
The Sixaxis controller is decent; as far as controllers go, it's not bad. After using numerous 3rd party ones throughout the years, I can safely say that it's definitely not too shabby.
However, the 360 has an amazing controller. If it's d-pad style/location didn't suck to infinity and beyond as well as its R1/L1 feeling somewhat odd, it'd be an amazing controller. A friend of mine also had the triggers on two of his controllers die on him (mine are still living thankfully). I have a 360 controller for my PC (but not a 360) because it really is a great controller.
It actually reminds me a bit of my old xterminator:
Yeah, it looks awkward as heck but it was surprisingly comfy...
Yeah, say what you will about the 360 as a whole but the controller is pretty damned hard to fault.
I think people defend the DualShock/Sixaxis more out of habit than anything. For many people, it's been all they used for the past decade but that doesn't mean it's the best controller around. The left analog is in the wrong place, it's too easy to slam your thumbs together mashing the analogs, it's too small for people with larger hands, the L2/R2 triggers are a joke, etc. etc. etc.

If PS3 got tons of great RPGs that would be awsome. I don't know of any coming out though other than disagaea 3. Also, if I don't like FPS, you feel that 360 library doesn't have enough variety to stand on its own vs PS3? Really I think they are both great systems. Gotta wait until at least E3 though and see if PS3 gets tons of announcemnts or Wii or if 360 conitunes getting lots of games... |
Never said that. It's just that Halo and Gears were the big pushers on 360 hardware, so they are toted as "the big guns". Then, when looking at the rest of the library, you see the likes of Crackdown, Dead Rising, Lost Oddysey, Left 4 Dead (coming soon) etc, which, in totality, do cover a WIDE range of genres....but these aren't "big games" just like Ratchet, Heavenly Sword, etc. aren't "big games" for the PS3. That's why I said it's a matter of which ones you'd rather play, when you factor in "great" games for both systems along with the "above average" games.
LOL @ rock on
Great day to be 360 owner!!

Controllers are completely subjective. To be perfectly honest I like the xbox controller more for shooters but who would have thought that off setting an analog stick would make things more comfortable? Sony patented the design so Microsoft by default had to move things around. In a way the patent worked in their advantage. On the other hand you have to give Sony credit because they were the pioneers in controller design with the PS2 and original PlayStation.

It's funny this tread hasn't been locked yet. MODs where are you?
