An article on the differing ergonomics and comfort level of games controllers since the NES pad to the present day
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
Even though i feel confortable with the Dualshock 3, the X360 pad is really awesome. I like the way it fuses with your hand. The Dreamcast wasnt so great or my hand was just too small back then, I dunno.
The Mega Drive controller (croissant anyone?)! Ah... the memoriers
I must admit the 360 controller it is the most confortable but is not the best quality hardware.
All i need is some attachment that holds your joint or cigarette for you while you play. Its pretty hard to hold one and play on a ps3, on 360 however I find it easier. I think it's because the play station joypads require you to grip them too much (they really werent designed for our big non-japanese hands).
But this list is pretty accurate, although having never played a dreamcast i can't say for sure how good the joypad feels. So the 360 wouldve ranked higher on my list.
Third on my list would probably have been the original playstation analogue controller. You know, the first one with dual analogue sticks, that was supposed to have rumble built in too but was taken out at the last minute or something, so when me and my brother bought one we were very disappointed to see there was no rumble in it at all :P
Sometime later the dualshock came out, but it wasnt as comfortable as the original analogue. Anyone else ever use that thing?!
The 360 is indeed comfortable and I have to agree that the Dreamcast is one of the most comfortable, I also really like the SNES and Megadrive controllers.
The gamecube controller isn't too bad in my opinion, I'd like it a little bigger though and the buttons more evenly sized.
The Wiimote's alright too but I'd much prefer to use a GCN pad. Although a SNES style pad would be best.
EDIT: The classic's close but not the same.
i like the 360 controller a lot, but i prefer my ds3 because of the stick layout. both controllers have their pluses and minuses.
