So, wait you want them to change the way PS3 and 360 contollers are designed?? How the heck would we play most of the games out right now. Most every game out uses the 2 joysticks as the main movement controllers and the D-Pad and the right side buttons are all for items and jump and reload and stuff. How would we play TPSs and FPSs??

Cause I sure as hell ain't gonna use a keyboard and a mouse to play my video games. I like laying in bed or playing from my couch and you can't do that comfortablly with a keyboard!

well you're MUCH more accurate with a keyboard and a mouse, but you have less freedom in actually using the keyboard/mouse.

 

[Sick Boy 82]

Oh, I know, I'm not arguing accuracy and such, just me being able to lounge around in my bed or posted up on my couch. You can't really do that with a keyboard and mouse.

And that is why the XBL and MSL cross-platform gaming never came to be. MS figured out that the computer players were slaughtering the 360 players in most games. When you can use hot keys and such and give yourself turbo fire, not that fair when playing against controller users.

I've never liked mouse and keyboard, I hate playing FPS on the computers.

Console and controllers all the way much more comfortable and less cumbersome.

Amen brother, amen. I could never sit for hours on end in front of the screen like that, all hunched over a keyboard and mouse.

I do like how the mouse I use for regular computing stuff has buttons on it for adjusting the sensitivity on the fly. If I was playing computer FPS, it would rule for sniping. Bump up the sensitivity for run and gun and knock it down a few to slow the crosshairs down for sniping!

We should all get names with Animals referenced in it, make it feel more "Metal Gearish". Keeping in theme like Grey Fox and Solid Snake, Sniper wolf etc. etc.

As a matter of fact all the soliders you capture in Metal Gear portable ops have animal name " Bear, bee, wolverine" etc.

so maybe names like "Bruising Bear" or Crazy Tarantula, or just SPIDER... I dunno just throwing that out here, since this name is only used in Metal Gear Online right?

So are we still on?

 

[Sachiel]

I agree on how SOME controllers, specifically the 360, are more comfortable/less cumbersome than the mouse/keyboard, but they don't have any of the precise aiming like a mouse does.

I hate aiming on a console (for FPS's).

I call Kevlar Antelope...it's my username at a few forums. Got it from the MGS name generator.

Hahaha my name is "Licorice Mantis". WTF?? I like the Mantis part though.

"Input your first and last name below, and you'll be given your code name for this mission. The first part of your code name describes your unique skill or personality, and the second part is your animal designation."

WTF is a Licorice skill or personality?

Found out licorice is 50 times sweeter than sugar. So does this mean I have a sweet personality, cause then the name generator is all jacked up.

First I never said a single thing about redesigning the 360 controller.

I have no issue with the sticks is the placement on the PS controllers that are bad. It was an obvious afterthought, and thats easy as hell to prove since all they did is just stick then in the open are of the original PS controller. I have thought they were in a bad spot since the beginning. I never played any PS/PS2 games that required the sticks because of the bad design. I had very little trouble using the second Xbox controller. I couldn't use the big ass one but the compact one fits just right. I don't feel cramped to get my thumbs in the right spot like the PS controllers. I think the PS controller needs to be re-designed now that the sticks are used for about every game unlike the PS2 when they were still basically optional. If I could get a 360 controller to work on the PS3 I would be quite happy.

Ok, I see now. Yeah, the 360 is now my fav controller. Just wish it had turbo fire button.

I used to like the big xbox one but the S-Controller bugged me. I like the old PS controller cause they have some weight to them. The new PS3 controllers feel like a hard fart will blow them away. Hopfully the DS3 controller will have some heft.

If there was an after market controller that had a better setup I would get that for the PS3 instead. Its the number 1 turnoff for the PS3 games for me. So unless I REALLY REALLY want to play that game and its on PS3 only I am most likely not getting it.

[Karma]

Yeah Yeah I know, I was just responding to what Darth Caedus said right above my previous post. I myself already dl'd the beta client, but I thought everyone had to wait until the 21st to play it.

 

[kain4521]

Yeah I am downloading the client that way I will have everything ready for the 21st.

 

[Darth Caedus]

WTF is the point of downloading it now and not being able to play it until monday.

To get a faster bandwidth and download from their servers?
