360 and GC controllers are the best ones.

The Gamecube controller was nice, shame they didn't have an improved version for the Wii U as the standard controller

However the 360s is nice but only when playing shooters

If I had to pick it would be the Dual Shock controller, it's a good all rounder controller that fits many different genre games.

It has some flaws but not everything is perfect is it

EDIT:

See I have average sized hands though so it's perfect for me. All they have to do next gen for the DS4 is make it a touch smaller for people with larger hands or they could bring out an official "bigger" controller.

As I said though not every controller is perfect, they all have their flaws

I would agree,if the DS controller wasn't too small for us people with big hands.

"However the 360s is nice but only when playing shooters"

The 360s is good for everything, except fighting games.

@Kalowest

Well thats your opinion, I think it's still good but only shines when on a shooter while the PS3 is good for all types of genres.

Anyway

In the article

"So, in the end, the Xbox 360 wins the best video game controller, just due to pure satisfaction while using it. A bad d-pad design means you'll want to get your fighting games on the PS3, but aside from that, the 360 has the PS3 controller beat in nearly every aspect, making it the best available video game controller today."

Again it's his opinion, but he makes it sound like fact

No. Good God, no.

The best controller is a Bluetooth controller. a Bluetooth 360 controller with a Sony D-Pad would be -perfection-.

NYC_Gamer4090d ago (Edited 4090d ago )

I like the 360 controller because it fits inside my hands perfect

Kalowest4090d ago

The 360s(which is a modified dreamcast controller) and the PS3s

I like the ergonomics of the 360 controller and the size. What set this controller apart and what makes it so appealing to core gamers is the stiff spring loaded triggers and pressurized feel to the triggers and sticks giving a superb resistance for unmatched feedback to the gamer and game. Alot of developers go out of their way to develop games that use this stellar sensitivity/control for optimum feedback.

Inferior controllers you just push a button with simply two actions, go or no go. On xbox you play a game like Forza and you have a very sensitive accelerator/braking for example.

I was wondering about the new Wii U core controller. Does it have the same analog stick resistance and trigger spring resistance?

pr0t0typeknuckles4090d ago

the dualshcok is the best controller the d-pad is perfect, the placement of the analog sticks not to menmtion the feel of the analog sticks,the triangle, circle, square, x,was easier to memorize, the only thing holding it back is the shape which is where the 360 controller shines but its really not a big deal, id take dualshock over any controller anyday of the week, its just near perfect.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos5h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis21h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast20h ago

It's worth a play through today.
