Its the same dual shock I've hated forever. Ever since the Dreamcast, the PS controller has always felt like a step back for me. I don't give a rats ass if you don't mind or even prefer the PS3 controller, but for me, and I know many other peopl, the analog placement is retarded.

the thumb less than an inch lower isnt disasterous, just like me getting used to it an inch higher when i got the 360, you can handle it. youre a big boy.

It's not the button/stick placement that makes the Dual Shock suck so much as it is the parts themselves.

Every single input device on that thing feels like crap in comparison to the 360 pad.

And Resistance was crap for the first two or three levels that I played in co-op. Maybe it gets a little better along the way, but from what I played, it just felt like every other generic WWII shooter only with aliens instead of Nazis.

I'm on my third time through it now, playing on Superhuman. Resistance is like Halo - the regular difficulty is pretty bland, but once you make things harder sudenly the decisions you're making matter more and the firefights are alot more intense.

I think they did an amazing job with the feel and creativity of the weapons; you unlock different things on each dificulty and by the end of hard mode you were a one-man arsenal. And they feel really solid to fire & reload, with the carbine I completely forget that the controller doesn't rumble.

The level design is uneven - it starts off pretty nondescript, has a couple of highlights in the conversion centre & the battle for Manchester, but doesn't do a lot to impress until you get to London. The battle for London Bridge, taking on the Goliaths in the snow and the ridiculous visuals in the tower are all pretty epic.

I can see it not being considered for all-time classic status or anything when the generation is all said & done, but anyone saying it isn't a good game isn't giving it its due.

This is exactly what I was trying to say about this game but couldn't express it right. Thank You.

If you can pull that hack off for me I will buy it from you. Until then, I will continue to bitch about how shitty the PS controller is.

The Sixaxis (just like the Dual Shock) is a piece of garbage and one of the two reasons that I will get games on the 360 unless the PS3 version is just ridiculously better (which may happen in 2009). The marshmallow triggers, crappy analog sticks, placement of analog sticks...at least the new one might get rumble.

I've never liked the Dual Shock either.

You guys are making Andy's blood boil.

It really isn't even just the placement of the sticks, everything about the controller is just cheap crap.
