Why does this board believe that the video game controller is the worst possible way to play games and that it holds back competent game design?

Can't wank while holding one.
Xavier Robinson
No one said that fagit
Andrew Cooper
less buttons than a keyboard, not as responsive as a mouse, still a good device but only if it is an option and not a standard.
Josiah Walker
>the xbox 360 controller
Greatest controller ever made
Nicholas Peterson
I did like the 360 but the dpad was trash.
Hunter Smith
Because years of PC master race has been firmly lodged in Zig Forums's ass and their too stubborn to loosen it.
Dominic Roberts
Why do you think Zig Forums is one person?
Jonathan Gray
We don't
Xbone is better
PC is the master race because you can use whatever controller is best for each game. Which is usually the Xbone controller. Rarely mkb, but only for fps and management games.
Gabriel Thomas
joycon bro. lets go is my favorite game
Evan Sullivan
fixed in its successors
Luis Thompson
I need controller recommendations. Which of these should I get? If none, which one instead?
Joshua Murphy
No, it's still trash. Microsoft doesn't know how to make d-pads.
Noah Collins
2 extra face buttons like the genesis controller, and 2 buttons on the rear of the handles, and it would be perfect.
controllers should have a few more buttons
Jace Cook
LMAO, who the fuck uses a d-pad in this day and age? It's just a relic.
Caleb Murphy
Because it's true. When we get crossplay games they have to give controller users aimbots so you don't get slaughtered and raped at the hands of the mouse & keyboard. It's a vastly inferior control scheme and designing for it led to cancer like the two weapon swap.
Leo Howard
any and every 2D game in existence
Daniel Garcia
I'll have to look into it. I haven't tried any of the other pads yet.
Isaiah Fisher
I've ruptured the rubber around a thumbstick on my xbone controller. It was just kinda loose at first but now it feels like will come off and it's not really comfortable to play with it like that. Does anyone now how can i replace it?
Dominic Ross
controllers are less ergonomic. i like a keyboard mouse because it has more buttons so i can spread out joint wear on my fingers, as opposed to a controller where you basically use your thumb for everything. i've definitely had sore thumbs from too much gaming, but as long as i do a few wrist stretches regular mouse and keyboard is pain-free for me

>Very limited amount of buttons
>Incentivizes devs to design games centered around the controller to appease console poorfags and not the other way around
>This results in less available options in controls and shit being moved to separate menus or God forbid button combinations
>Everyone loses
Ahem. Fuck controllers
Jeremiah Rivera
Because it has been three generations by now with same fucking controller, and largest change was switching places of dpad and left analog. This standard now has rooted itself into games hard, and if you either adhere to it and try to stuff the unstuffable into it, or develop for keyboard/whatever unique shit you have if you are Nintendo.
Because "innovation" to controllers now come in way of putting something in the middle of it, like touch panel (remember this thing that even Sony's first parties don't use extensively?) or a whole fucking screen (like Wii U did).
And no, that doesn't mean it's "perfected". Fuck this idea. It's not perfect or even good. Four face buttons is very much not enough for anything that is slightly more ambitious than an another clone of something already existing.
Owen Carter
KYS you underaged simp.
Cooper Brown
I have a laptop so I prefer controllers
Daniel Thomas
Because controllers give you this kind of shit
Levi Torres
>PS5 and Sexbox controller's doesn't have paddles or six face buttons by default
>Sexbox still doesn't have gyro meaning no devs will bother it
It's not fair bros
Lucas Wilson
Dual analogue stick is the least responsive option you can use for an FPS game.
Mouse input is more responsive, but the first person perspective is inherently radial, and the further up or down you aim from the center, the more that difference effects controls.
Gyro input combined with a dual analogue stick potentially has much more response, and is better suited for radial dimesions, but is not nearly as assessable as a mouse is.
It should also be noted that OPs pic, as well as the XB1's controller do not have gyro aiming, which has inclined Devs to avoid including the gyro features in the PS4, Steam, and nintendo controllers for the past decade, even just as an option.
Fuck you sony. People have to pay 80 dollars for you excessive controllers and you don't even use it for Horizon Zero down.
Sebastian Sanders

Juan Collins
I'm more concerned that someone needs a sticker to let them know to press the Guide Button to turn on the 360.
Anthony Torres
imagine the amount of RMA that happened before they decided to put this sticker on. of course, sticker could be here from the beginning for american market or something, but my headcanon is that something terrible happened that made them put this sticker on
Andrew Nguyen
the only games that are better on controllers than M+KB are fighting games
