Top 10 Worst Controller List

[Diff-chan]

Of course the Dreamcast controller doesn't belong on that list. That's just bullshit. It's not the list of "moderately bad" controllers. If that was the case it would have to include every controller since the N64 one, because they've all had problems, not least the dependence on analog sticks when anyone with a grain of sense knows that analog sticks are shit for most game types.

Edit: But the XBox large controller doesn't belong on the list either, especially not at no. 2 and when all the other controllers in the list are almost un-useable.

Here's the problems I had with the Dreamcast controller:

1. Uncomfortable, like no effort was made for it to fit the shape of the hands.
2. Only one analog stick (which sucked worse than the PS1 Dual Shock sticks).
3. Too few buttons.
4. Crappy NES-style d-pad.

The controller IMO failed me in every single game I played on the system, and the only cool thing about it was the VMU window - but the VMUs sucked too.

Considering a controller is made up of analog sticks, buttons, d-pads, and plastic to hold it all together the Dreamcast pad was a huge piece of crap in every way. Considering it was from Sega, who as mentioned knows how to design a good pad, and considering it was the 2nd try at an analog pad that fixed none of the original's flaws - yea Id say its one of the 10 worst ever. But around #9 or #10, not #1 or #2 by any means.

That downward bend for the PS3 d-pad and face buttons looks odd, but it does fit the shape of the pad. I hope it ends up being comfortable to use.

If that's the final PS3 pad design, I'm buying every multiplatform game on the 360.

That way I can whore achievement points too

That list is the worst videogame list I've ever seen.

Did you see best couples in videogames?

I knew they would fucking have the xbox duke controller on that list, but at least it wasn't #1. What a bunch of shit. The only reason people actually hate it is just because the general public does. If someone would take a few fucking hours and actually play it, they'd realize that it kicks the shit out of every other current and next-gen controller. That is all.

If Sega didn't design the controller, it sucks. It's pretty simple. Saturn pad with Dual Shock analog sticks would be the greatest controller ever, and we have three hardware companies who can't figure that out.

The original 3-button Genesis pad is terrible.

Did you see best couples in videogames?

No, but I can't even imagine anything being worse. I don't agree with almost everything on the list.

Napalm, I wouldn't go that far. I'd put it far above the DC and GC pads, but below the S and PS2 pads.

The original 3-button Genesis pad is terrible.

Keep reading, dumb fuck:

Agreed. Not all the Sega ones were good. Just no one else's were.
