Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

    Far Cry 3's story is so badly written that I can't tell if they were honestly trying to go for some sort of satire and failed miserably, or wrote what is there earnestly and tried to claim it was satire after the fact.

    FarCry 3 manages to have some of the best core gameplay while simultaneously having a story so bad it makes me want to just do whatever after the tutorial cuts me loose

    The only reason to progress the story at all is to get the wingsuit

    Analog sticks are the light

    Analog stick + mouse would be ideal for FPS games, I agree

    I need two analog sticks

    One analog stick puts me in the same place as the Wii

    Shit just doesn't feel right to me, and not even confining this to shooters, but to games like Mario Galaxy

    Sometimes my direction was "off" because I'd be holding the nunchuk at a slight angle and while I thought I was pressing right, I was actually pressing right and up or something like that

    Well, I would say that mouse controls are garbage for anything that isn't a shooter or an RTS/MOBA

    Wii controls are garbage for everything

    I played Far Cry 3 with a 360 pad on PC. Is more comfortable for me.

    the best description I can give of Far Cry 3's story is that the writer had some good ideas but kept procrastinating and so he just slapped it together at the last second and then bullshitted in interviews to make it seem like he didn't

    I played through the first time with a pad, and I beat it, but it was really challenging

    Then on my second playthrough I tried KBAM, and was an unstoppable god of blood-soaked death, headshotting pirates from the other side of the fucking globe

    Still, I think I prefer the pad for any game without a scoreboard.

    You have the typical A button, but it's modified to have a flip-open cap with another button underneath like they have in fighter jets. This inner button is used for your most powerful attack.

    I sent in a repair request thing to Nintendo because my 3DS's headphone jack doesn't work right, you have to get the headphone thing in the EXACT SPOT to get it to work properly

    hoping they can fix it because that wasn't one of the repair options and I had to just pick the closest sounding one, but wrote the real problem in a thing at the end

    i was thinking rings around a button, the outter ring would be yoru normal stuff, hitting the ring and the inner button would be something else.

    seems like it would be faster.

    Funnily enough that was my original idea, but I'm hoping someday I'll be able to flip open a safety cap and push a button dramatically.

    Put an insensitive microphone in the controller

    When you hit the A button or the X button, it performs its primary function

    When you scream and hit the A button or X button, it performs its alternate function

    Aside from the analog sticks, the entire controller is a smooth surface utilizing the tech behind tactile touch screens.

    Buttons rising and dropping away as needed.

    why would you even make convex sticks

    Nintendo gets a pass because they have that nice inner circle you can get a grip on

    although the wii u lacks the 8-directional notches of previous sticks

    I like both convex and concave

    dualshock sticks are just a little too close together so when you need to push them towards each other your thumbs hit each other

    PS4 is said to fix that but it still lacks the superior staggered sticks configuration

    Is your secret that you don't have thumbs?
  • UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Chareth Cutestory Lawyer of the SeaRegistered User regular
    I prefer the symmetry of the DualShock

    Hate the triggers though

    DualShock 2 remains my favorite controller

    My thumbs have never hit each other either

    Wow, that's all kinds of fucked up. Retailers can really demand stuff like that?

    Also I realised that I tend to manipulate analogue sticks at their edges rather than resting my thumb on top of it, probably because of 15 years of Dual Shockin'.
  • -Tal-Tal Truth is elusive It's nowhere to be foundRegistered User regular
    yeah, the only way for my thumbs not to hit is to use the sticks at the edges

    but having your finger right in the middle is clearly superior
