Can we low the scores of ps3 games because of R2/L2?

What the HELL are you rambling about? You seriously  believe that one should have to buy an arcade stick for a PSN/XBL game to be able to enjoy it to the fullest on the 360? Well, if you have the money to throw around, be my guest... And your analogies are just plain retarded. Everyone with a PC have keyboard (for WoW), and if you wanted to use your gamecube controller on a NEW SYSTEM (Wii), you could just buy the GC version of Twilight Princess and play it on the Wii or simply just play it on the GC... You are not forced to waggle in any way, and besides, if you buy the Wii you are well aware of the controller alternatives that come with the system... Try harder please, PLEASE! Your arguments really amuse me...

And yeah, the average XBOX 360 user sure wants to buy $80 peripherals to use PS2 controllers on their system... You are just deluded, and if you need to spend all that cash to be able to enjoy experiences on the 360 (not saying you have to), you should just do yourself a favor and drop the system because of all the hidden expenses you have to put up with...

Seriously... ...... .... ......... ....... ... Zenfoldor... ..... ............... ....

OT however: FAIR of IGN to take points of the 360 version because of bad controls. In my opinion it should have been more points off. A decent D-Pad is essential in every fighting game if you do not have an arcade stick. From my own experience, I play Street Fighter 2 on my PSP quite regularly, and when I had the oldest model of the PSP, I simply could NOT use the D-Pad and had to use the stick... I did not like it. This however changes with the PSP-2000 where the D-Pad was much better and enhanced my gameplay experience a lot!

I hope we will see more reviews like this in the future, no matter which console that get scored lower. This is a way to seperate multiplats from each other on the HD-Twins.

Slow but Gameplay = Score it seems

I use the dpad for fighting games and PES

Not surprised to see you defending this, but you really don't have a case as I see it.

They reviewed a game for a console using the controller that 99.9% of that console's install base will be using, and subsequently took of a few points since the experience was slightly inferior.

Doesn't seem unreasonable whatsoever, and "but, but, but... you can plug in a PS2 controller!!!111" is just reaching.

Edit: Oh, and your WOW analogy is a nonsense as well, since mouse and keyboard is pretty much always a combined control set, so splitting them up artificially and then complaining at the mouse on its own is a flawed argument.

Oh okiech.

On the review it says that the 360 version has online issues wich will be a trouble for tournaments. thats why they gave it less

You can fix the 360 d-pad yourself; all it takes is the right screwdriver and some sandpaper. Personally I use a SFIV Fightpad, which works just fine. Those who are truly serious about fighting games have several quality arcade sticks to choose from. It's a minor issue for some casual players of fighting games, but most of them will be just fine using the analog stick.

I'm not gonna complain about the reviewer, though - obviously the horrible stock d-pad mattered to him. I'll never understand how that d-pad made it through Microsoft's testing, or why they never bothered to fix the problem.

Haha, well... I feel like an idiot now. I knew IGN wasn't that stupid! xD

They should just give it an 80 or less for 360 version and more fighting games that way MS can give us a new controller model. There are plenty of fixes for 360's d-pad though.
