He knew what he was getting into.  :P

HOW BOUT THAT CLASSIC CONTROLLER?

[demi]

OH YOU MEAN THE DUAL SHOCK HUR HUR HUR?

You're so shady bro, you should ease up

[bork]

I'm pretty relaxed, guy. 

[ananus]

pm me next time.

Man who the hell cares about the DPAD.

Those of us who play fighters. It's also better for puzzle games and old school type games on Live Arcade (or Genesis/Namco collections).

[Ichirou]

dcharlie, are you saying ananus = demi?

Did you ever try sanding down the ring around a 360 d-pad or whatever it is you do to make it more responsive?  Always wondered how well that really worked.

Buncha bullshit. Did it with one of my controllers and it made no noticeable difference.

Nintendo fails at this one, they should have bitten the better Next Gen controller

I actually agree. The dual shocks analog placements are fucking distinguished mentally-challenged for 3d movement. Bad move by N to copy it when you already had the right placement BEFORE.

250k

LTD sales? You're crazy, man. If this game doesn't sell at least 300k in its first month, I'll shut up and won't post another thread for a month.

Isn't this game coming out in April?

Nah, didn't wanna fuck up my controller.

360 dpad sucks, never set any important items/weapons on the diagonals

I've did it for my wired 360 controller and it's slightly better.  A did the crazier mod of sanding + putting a piece of plastic under the pad once, and again it isn't a significant improvement.

the N64 is the worst controller of the past 20 years

That honor goes to the The Duke.

Dreamcast controller is also up there too.

Agreed.

[Nintendosbooger]

the N64 controller was a great controller....

... for Mario 64. And that was about it.

Oh and Mario Tennis.

For everything else it was absolute gash.

Revisionist history ftw!

The N64 controller was the best original system controller for console first-person shooters at the time, which is why it was the console to own if you liked those sort of games. Sony tried to tap into the FPS market with their PSX, as well, but gamers would have preferred drinking a tall glass of water with broken glass dust sprinkled in than play games like GE, PD, Turok, etc with a cheap SNES knockoff pad.

[bork]

If you liked those sort of games, you were playing them on PC.  Goldeneye multi was fun for a minute though.

[Eel O'Brian]

i liked the duke controller

then again i don't have babyhands

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I thought the Duke was fine but the Controller S was a nice improvement.

[Nintendosbooger]

Which is why I specifically said among CONSOLES. If you love FPSs, you'd still be playing them on PCs, but in the mid to late 90s, if you wanted to play them on television, the N64 was your answer, thanks mostly in part to its first person friendly controller at the time.

To say it was only good for Mario games is bullshit, and anyone who preferred the Saturn or PSX controller for FP games is an idiot.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I figured the only reason why N64 shooters were so popular was because it was the only system out there at the time that didn't feature 3D games that were jagged messes.  Your options were extremely bad and jagged 3D models or 2.5D FPS games if you went with the Saturn or PlayStation.

As a Hollywood Gamer™, I have plenty of FPS games available to me.

but in the mid to late 90s, if you wanted to play them on television, the N64 was your answer, thanks mostly in part to its first person friendly controller at the time.

Like I said, Goldeneye was fun for the multi for a little bit.  I would have rather played Duke Nukem on Saturn, which also had online play with the net adaptor, or even Doom on PSOne for everything else.  I didn't give a shit about FPS games on consoles until Halo came along and did it right.  I will give it to Sega for the awesome -but severely overlooked- Outtrigger on Dreamcast too.  It was fun playing that game online while it lasted, ditto for Alien Front Online.

They both sucked. Jagged messes or blurry, muddy vaseline textures.  Take your pick!

[cool breeze]

I was not a fan of the turok games.  The rare fps games were pretty fun because they pretty much did all the aiming for you.  Even Medal of Honor on the PS1 with dual analog controls sucked because it required you to aim, and other shooters on the PS1 required you to hold a lock on button or something.  In goldeneye you could run down a hallway and it would do the work for you.  Really shallow but also really fun at the time.

I really liked the Duke controller for the ~3 years I used it until I bought my own 360 that came with an S-controller.

I was probably 13 or 14 when I first used it for Halo and never had a problem with it.  I never understood the complaints that it was too large.  I also don't understand complains that the PS3 controller is too small.

I don't remember anyone saying they liked FPSes on the N64 because of the controller. You were about four years old at the time Booger, so I will enlighten you. People played FPSes on N64 because they were on N64. There were MoH games and shit that controlled just fine with a DualShock, as they do now.

I liked MoH and Underground more than the most N64 shooters, but I still think the dual analog controls were way too touchy for me.

I wasn't 4 at the time, and even if I were, I'd still be getting more ass than you, pussy.

[AdmiralViscen]

Doubtful.

[etiolate]

Everyone is welcome to opinions and all, but you all really should have some basis and thought behind it.

1. N64 controller was designed for Mario 64 and from that designed for 3d movement. The two are linked. The analog being in the primary position is vital for 3d movement.
2. The DS was a lazily designed controller with lazily added on analog sticks. Since the left stick, often the primary movement stick, was in a secondary position 3d control suffered. The amount of precision and control is just not the same.
3. Sony was the only one who stuck to this. Sony has never been the FPS platform. These two things are not coincidences. Nintendo and Microsoft went with the primary position and their games benefited.
4. This has been gone over a hundred times and I can't believe people still go on spewing ridiculous ideas and wrong information and covering it up as opinion.

Who are you even disputing?
