About an hour and a half north of Sydney. Only the finest small boring towns for me.
And on the controller stuff I find the 360 controller suits me fine. The only complaint I have is the D Pad is shit but that's no surprise and like most people think it. Otherwise it's perfect for me.
[QUOTE=sphinxa279;46318365]He may be referring to the Black Button and the White Button on the original Xbox Controller as the Z and C buttons as I cannot recollect any Microsoft controller with a button labelled as Z or C.[/QUOTE]
Oh, I completely forgot about those buttons. It's been forever since I've actually use an original xBrick controller.

That's not really an opinion. And I doubt people will disagree if you say it.

You'd be surprised.
Xbox 360 controller is best imo. The joysticks on the PS3 controller really makes my hands slip and the whole thing is a bit tiny for my enourmous hands. Xbox 360 gamepad is the perfect fit.
[QUOTE=Alice3173;46318326]What other Microsoft controllers are you talking about? And Sega's controllers did have the same order issue. That combined with fewer games I liked were the main two reasons I never was a fan of Sega.[/QUOTE]
I had a couple of Microsoft PC controllers from before the Xbox was a thing. They had 2 shit triggers, six buttons, and a terrible d-pad. Basically a precursor to the Xbox controller, only not good.

Related to the controller discussion: GameCube and 360 controllers are my favorite. Every Playstation controller I've handled in my life suffers greatly from sticky buttons even if you take good care of them. I also don't like the feel of the L2/R2 triggers on the Playstation controllers either.
But above all else, Valve's Steam controller looks awkward as shit to handle and I'm never ever going to buy one.
dlc and microtransactions aren't anywhere near as big a deal as people think they are
I play to have fun.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;46320174]While we're on controllers...
The Genesis controller is one of the worst best-selling controllers ever. I hated it as a kid and I hate it even more now. I genuinely believe that the Genesis could have stood a chance against the SNES if the controller was even half as good.

As a person who is fan of Sega, Sega controllers are just completely fucked.

Look at it. It's a big fucking circle. If I remember correctly, this monstrosity was actually pretty comfortable. But the only times I played a Saturn was 30 minute bouts of [I]Robo-Pit[/I], probably the best game ever. In my opinion, the only comfortable and also good-looking controller Sega ever made was the regular Saturn one:

And even then, it looks like a generic video game controller.

[QUOTE=RustledJimmys;46320208]dlc and microtransactions aren't anywhere near as big a deal as people think they are[/QUOTE]
Can you think of any existing games where microtransactions made the single player a richer experience? For someone who doesn't care about saving a bit of cash, has there been an upside yet?
I have a love/hate relationship with DLC. I honestly believe DLC shouldn't be something to look forward to more than the base game itself. DLC and expansions are fine until a game is gutted before release and the "DLC" content sold to you afterwards is actually just content that should have already been in the game. Also, splitting a single game into sections (i.e. AssCreed 2, where a chunk of the game is only accessible if you use a code available in the box of the game) is a garbage way of creating any sort of incentive for someone to buy the game, rather than just rent or borrow it. Also, advertising DLC before a game comes out? Fuck that. I don't mean "pre-order now and you get X content!", I mean what DICE did with BF4 before release, constantly advertising China Rising (or whatever it was called) before BF4 even came out. Developers shouldn't be allowed to milk their games like this, and producers definitely shouldn't be allowed to force developers to do it.

It's like the trailer for AC:Unity's season pass. At the end they say "but for now we have to add the finishing touches to the base game"
So they made the DLC before they even finished the base game.

Yeah, that's the one! It was awful!
That controller kinda looks like somebody sat on it.
Also, baked sausage > fried sausage
get at me
DLC is alright as long as it doesn't give an advantage. I couldnt care more if they sell different skins as dlc, but when they use something in a DLC that should be in a base game (PAYDAY 2 AND THE FUCKING GRENADES GRRRRR) it just sucks ass and sorta turns me away from the game
[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;46318182]Nintendo wasn't the only company to use letters for their buttons. The microsoft controllers for years had the layout of:
XYZ
ABC
The same Layout as the Sega Mega Drive's and Saturn's controllers. The triggers and bumpers are better than every other controller, barring maybe the PS4 and Xbone controllers.[/QUOTE]
This bad boy?

Maybe it's just mine, but it's a decent load of crap. Cross pad sucks for keeping in a straight direction and requires a bit of force to use. The A button is hard to reach. In my opinion, it would have worked better reversed going from CBA, ZYX instead of ABC, XYZ. Genesis games didn't really fare so well with it. And the triggers are squishy too.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;46319483]Surely I'm not the only one who thinks that looks like a nightmare to hold?[/QUOTE]
Not really. Button order makes it feel like a nightmare more than just holding it. For a good simple USB gamepad, go with the Logitech Precision which seems to be discontinued but you can find a bunch of generics made for taking apart. tl;dr You could do worse.
I don't think the Badage Boys copypasta is funny or clever at all. It's about as inspired as "Darude - Sandstorm" responses.
I don't think the Loss edits are funny at all. Painfully overused and unfunny but they rake in the funnies.
