Why did we abandon 6 face button controllers? They were nice
>>
The 360 controller is the perfect controller, this thing was like holding a person's pelvis in your hands
>>
Too confusing for plebs.
>>
>>732196482
the smaller redesigned version was fine
>>
>>732196435
They became LB and RB. Better.
>>
>>732196435
Because microsoft decided to drop them from the 360 controller and then created Xinput to make sure that PC games only support the 360 controller and its clones.

>They became LB and RB. Better.
Why not just have both?
>>
>>732196602
Too much.

>>732196435
Face buttons are retarded and shouldn't exist.
>>
>>732196435
Because limiting the capabilities of the controller means that when multiplats roll around they all need to be only as complex as possible on the simplest controller.
Everyone else had 4 face buttons, so they also had to have 4, and then they shot themselves in the foot by not having motion controls just so they could shit on the other consoles and PC by ruining any genre with more extensive camera controls like immersive sims and shooters.
>>732196482
They're both genuinely awful.
>>
>>732196435
shoulder buttons are more convenient
>>
No game or genre needs so many inputs unless you're playing a classic rougelike, which is specifically designed for keyboards.
>>
>>732196745
Plenty of games have stuff that's uncommon enough to not need a shoulder button, but still common enough to be annoying if you go through a menu, iirc Halo used the black and white buttons for the flashlight and switching grenades, which was a good usecase

i fucking hate LB and RB
optimal play usually requires you to use index fingers for LB and RB and middle fingers for the triggers
the index finger should be used for the trigger, thats why its called the trigger finger
fuck LB and RB

>the transparent button turns you invisible in Halo 2
KINOOOOO
damn gaming used to be good
>>
>>732196435
because nintendo did it with the gamecube desu senpai
>>
>>732196435
>right controller
how in the fuck were you supposed to hit white and black anyway? The only way I can think of is to roll on them with the ball of your hand
>>
>>732199102
look at start and back anon

they are there because of the design lol
>>
>>732196898
Thats why you get a controller that has back paddles and remap the bumpers to the paddles instead.
>>
>>732199102
most zoomoid thing i'll read all day
>>
>>732199316
bitch, I'm boomer as fuck. The OG Xbox controllers always felt fucked up to me
>>
>>732199934
those buttons were easy to press
>>
>>732196482
Hear hear, short kings RISE. UP.
>>
>>732196435
Try pressing the whit and green button together. That's why.
>>
>>732196435
Still haven’t use a controller as comfortable as the duke

>>732196435
because it was retarded. You only have 1 thumb in each hand. Back paddles already fixed the only issue controllers ever had.
>>
>>732196909
all they had to do was move the analogue stick and z button to the left handle and it would've been one of the best controllers
>>
>>732196435
Women and bitch niggas with tiny feminine hands couldn't handle the OG controller so they needed the smaller accessibility option to overcome their handicap.
