all time favourite controller

Sun May 07, 2006 9:56 am

What is your favourite controller?. I'm going to go with the XBOX and then the N64-i never really liked the Playstation controllers.....

Sun May 07, 2006 10:21 am

Nintendo 64 (y)
all those precious years of goldeneye

Sun May 07, 2006 12:11 pm

N64...Um..the PS3 controller 1. Hasn't been released...and 2. doesn't look all that comfortable..with its Boomerang shape and all. If you put in PS3, where's N.W.A? (Nintendo Wii America acronym)

Sun May 07, 2006 12:13 pm

PS2 definately. I hated the N64, had no idea how I was supposed to hold that thing. The XBox is stupid, it was bulky and the newer one is better but the 2 other buttons are still stupid. The 360 is pretty good but I don't like how the bottom triggers stick out so much. Gamecube's is just stupid.

The PS3 controller isn't the boomerang anymore. They'll show the new one on Monday.

I'd say the N64 and PS1 (with dualshock)/PS2 controllers are the two best ones. N64 just seems to work so well, same goes with the PS1/PS2 controllers, gotta love the analog. For a controller i dont like, i dont get how anyone could possibly like the bulky Xbox controller. Its fairly heavy for a controller and the placement of buttons isnt that great at all.

PS2 because im just so used to it. Xbox sucks cuz of the way the buttons work.

Sun May 07, 2006 1:41 pm

I love you had to hold the N64 by the middle stick making the L button unusable in a clutch situation. The N64 games control so much better on my PC with my "Firestorm 2" which is a DualShock rip off with two extra buttons.

The keyboard has been with me for the past 8 years (Y)

What about the older controllers? As it is "all time" favourite controller.

I loved the SNES controller, simplicity at its best.

Well basically all the other controllers are some way or another rip offs of the SNES controller.

(Trigger buttons, four face buttons...)

I still prefer the dual shock to anything else...even on PC games I use an adaptor for my PS1 controller...it's so ergonomically perfect...

Sun May 07, 2006 7:36 pm

N64 it was like heaven to me.

Sony openly ripped off the SNES controller, Kutaragi added the extra triggers because he figured 3D games would require more complex controls (even though few SNES games used the L/R buttons) and the ergonomics for one key reason. Now that you're older than eight (well, most of you...) try using a SNES controller for an extend period of time. It'll kill your hands if they're at least average in size. That thing was so thin.

I like analog triggers like Dreamcast and Xbox for driving games because it feels more realistic, but nevertheless I think I have to go with the DualShock and anything that rips it off.

There amiga sticks was the coolest thing in gaming with my friends. I never owned one but those amiga games kicked ass.

Mon May 08, 2006 8:27 pm

Even though i have a PS2, the XBOX controller is better for me...

Mon May 08, 2006 10:58 pm

The PS2 controller is good and I have no complaints for it. However, the new X360 controller is the best controller I have ever used. The thing is perfect.

Wed May 10, 2006 7:51 am

Talks about the new ps3 controler here, it has a tilt sensor and is motion sensing,i dont know if i like that or not http://www.gamespot.com/e3/e3story.html?sid=6149586

was good too.. easy to play.. a,b,c :)

Thu May 11, 2006 4:28 pm

Jugs: i added Super Nintendo, but for some reason it didn't show, maybe too many options? so i just got rid of it. select other if you really prefer that

Sat May 13, 2006 8:52 am

yeah Super Nintendo for sure... Sony just picked up where Nintendo left off when they went crazy in the controller department with N64... I hate the Xbox controller cuz the stupid "white" and "black" buttons are out of the way.

Sat May 13, 2006 9:04 am

Gamecube. It just sliiiides in.
