Flame War: My Controller is Better Than YOURS!

**bagmouse7** · February 15th, 2009, 14:17

If the DualShock 3 had better lower shoulder buttons it would be best, but as it is they are they are very poorly done. They should have either made them a little bigger with more trigger action (like the 360s), or they should have made them exactly like the original Dual-Analog.

This page gives you a good compairson of the orginal Dual-Analog and the Dual Shock:

The Wii Remote is the worst for "serious" gamers. It just does not give the accurate control that I prefer. Sure it is fun to use when playing Wii Tennis against an 8 year old, but it just does not cut it for hardcore gaming...

The 360 controller almost gets it right, but the staggered analog sticks just does not seem as good as having both sticks at the bottom like Sony does.

I like the way that the xbox360 controller fits my hands so perfectly. I also like the slightly softer resistance in its analog sticks.

The PS2 controller comes in a close second, but I need to hold it more loosely so that my thumbs rest better in the sticks.

Finally, I would like to give an honorable mention to the original xbox's Big Duke controller. While it was awkwardly massive, you could really feel its rumble, and I loved how tightly spaced its four main buttons were. I didn't have to move my thumb much at all for quick button presses.

I don't even own a Sony console, but I own a Logitech RumblePad 2 (which is very close, see pic) and it is my all-time favorite.

I like the 360 controller a lot. The PS3 controller is alright but too light and I prefer the old shoulder buttons. The Wiimote is a pain cause it doesn't work spot on. The Dreamcast controller is good, especially for Dreamcast exclusive games. The SNES controller is real good. I love the 6 button Genesis controller but hate the 3 button controller for many games, especially Mortal Kombat. The N64 controller was good for N64 exclusive games, but made games like Tony Hawk a pain.

I know its not cool to praise anything related to the wii, but the classic controller is really good. It has a nice dpad, which is pretty uncommon.

PS3 controller is alright, but the L2/R2 triggers are curved backwards and the analog sticks are uncomfortable and in the wrong spot.

The 360 controller has great analog sticks that feel comfortable, but the worst dpad ever made, so its kinda a toss up.

Wiiwote is nothing more that a insensitive Dildo

PS3 Controllers analouge gives my hands cramps

360 controller is the best IMO

No huge difference between the xbox 360 controller and the DS3, just a few minutes to get used to the button layout.

omg you people need to stop hating on the wii-mote so much

the changes to the ps3 controller feel awkward. the sixaxis is completely useless and in no way rivals the wii-mote in any way. the new triggers for the R2 & L2 button are so awkward it makes me want to throw up

the 360 controller is in no way a rip-off of sony's. like the other guy said i believe it's an update to the dreamcast control but the d-pad is ass. normally when playing fighting games i would never use the analog but the 360's d-pad is so terrible i have to use the analog

now the wii-mote can be both good and terrible depending on the developer's choice of controls. on one hand when used right the wii-mote can give you the most control no other traditional controller can possibly imagine.

on the other hand when used poorly which usually happens when lazy developer's attempt to emulate traditional controls on the wii it fails because the wii-mote is not a traditional contoller. this is what the classic controller is for. which is very comfortable by the way. only missing pressure sensitive buttons

you want to see the wii-mote put to good use? play rayman raving rabbids. i have never seen the wii-mote used as creatively as the way it's used in those games. when used in racing games you have an enormous amount of control compared to traditional controllers.

you would think the ps3's sixaxis would be able to rival this right? well there are some other configuration options that it would never be able to accomplish. NFS: Carbon has a setup that i used because the wii-mote buttons are not pressure sensitive so i would accelerate at top speed all the time, but with the other setup you use the wii-mote as the accelerator, similar to the foot pedal of a car, and the nunchuk to steer with one hand. not only does it compensate for the pressure sensitive buttons but does it stylishly

wii sports is a good example of the amount of control you have. i've had my wii for over a year now and i'm still finding new ways to play wii sports. one of the things i like most about it is that everyone can play the way they want to. when watching other people playing with my wii...( lol sounds perverted ) i noticed that everyone plays the same game differently which is great. you have the freedom to play whichever way you feel is most comfortable when not restricted to traditional control setups.

In conclusion the wii introduces some of the most creative ways to play games that you can never see on the limited potential of traditional controllers, but i will not say one is better than the other because that is just opinion and holds no importance. i enjoy playing on all of the consoles. you may continue your trash talking.
