>>12514526

In my mind the equivalents on modern controllers are always start and select. No I will not press the home or share button or whatever - i'm pressing start.

pic unrelated.
>>
I don't really care if select got renamed to hamburger on your xbox controller or anything, the names are always just arbitrary. The only change I don't like is the PS4 controller because they basically actually removed select and replaced it with a shitty touch pad that's basically just a big awkward select button anyway.
>>
>>12514526
I instinctively press start or the equivalent to start every game when I use a controller.
>>
>>12514526
Start buttons are still there and just called something else so I don't miss those. I do miss selects since I accidentally hit the screenshot button on my PS4 controller pretty often when I try to open a map or something.
>>
>>12514526
it's hard to miss a button that is usually at the center of the controller and made very easy to hit.
>>
>>12514526
No, because I still use them all the time.
>>
the original incarnation of the select button was retarded.

always like when a game forced you to use the select button on a menu. a real power move.

Cringe.

>>12514526
Sir, this is /vr/
Why would we miss something we still use?
>>
I am quite adept at pressing them sir.

>share buttons

What a goddamn fucking waste of a button.
How about a dedicated fuck off button instead.
>>
>>12515531
That's the power button yo
>>
>>12515531
I've wanted games to have a screenshot button as early as the PS2 era
>>
>>12514843
Hey, at least it's got RF so you can connect it to your CRT and integrated radio.
>>
>>12514531
I don't know what fucking idiot at Nintendo decided to put the screenshot and home buttons right fucking next to the start and select buttons. It's like they wanted you to press them by accident.
>>
>>12514526
I'll be deep in the cold cold ground before I recognize "bumper" and "trigger"

right there. Did they pay for a license for
"Playstation" instead of "PlayStation"?
>>
>>12516731
desu if they paid they spent too much as that controller is fucking awful to hold and use. The fucking X button sits right on where the shell is curved so it doesn't press down cleanly, the corners (where L1 and R1 usually live) are too sharp and L2/R2 are chibi buttons on the rear. The Dpad is about as firm and responsive as a tin of mushy peas and for some fucking reason L1 is convex but R1 concave.

Yeah, home/share buttons are retarded as fuck.
>>
I keep forgetting that Xbox controllers always had "back" instead of "select"
>>
>>12514843
What happens when you set the bullshit knob to negative three?
>>
>>12514531
I very much do not care for the SHARE button. Why does this generation insist on making everything everyone's business.

Taking screenshots to share with your friends is a pretty basic tenet of socializing through gaming. Even back when taking photos of the TV of funny shit that happened or of the end screen to show everyone you beat a game was pretty normal. If anything it's weird that it took consoles so long to gain such a functionality. You don't have to utilize it for social media shit, you can put the images on a flash drive.
