GBAtemp's Golden Threads Thread

Good luck hitting me with a dual analog- oh crap I just remembered dual analogs have auto aiming because it's the only way you can hit something with one ;O;

I am doomed ;O;

I definitely turn off aim assist when the option is available, and I can shoot fine...

I'm not saying that dual analogs are as good as a mouse for aiming in shooters, because there's just no contest. But, there's just no way to argue that a keyboard is better for movement or that a mouse is better for camera control in non-shooters, I'm sorry.

Honestly, I'm one of the weird types and I can't aim for shit on a mouse and keyboard. If I'm playing an FPS on a PC, I need to plug in the controller. Can't play otherwise.

I wasn't going to. I'm just saying that for a lot of genres dual analog is far from the best controller.

Like RTS... or... MOBA?

...fighting games... side-scrollers... old-school 2D platformers... driving games... flight and aerial combat simulators... mech games... point and click adventures... tycoon games... rail shooters... rhythm games... Dance Dance Revolution...
Most of those can be played with a dual analog, but not even a horrible fanboy like you could claim it's the best possible option for those games.

But it's got 3D action adventures goin' for it, which is nice.

;O;

Seeing that the D-Pad is still present on contemporary controllers, you have fighting games covered. Anything that requires a mouse pointer is obviously better played with a mouse, so I'll give you point and click and tycoon games. Rail shooters are crap on both setups - they should be played with a lightgun. Rhythm games... You need analog sticks for that? Those mostly use buttons only... and Dance Dance Revolution is an exception which should be played on a dance mat if on anything, but again, it mostly uses buttons, not sticks or the mouse for that matter.

So... you got two right?

 

[Veho]

Let me say that again:

for a lot of genres dual analog is far from the best controller.

Fighting games.
Driving games.
Flying games.
Mech games. (Filthy MechAssault casuals need not apply.)
Point-and-click adventures, tycoon games.
Rail shooters.






Train simulators ;O;

Most of those can be played with a dual analog, but not even a horrible fanboy like you could claim it's the best possible option for those games.

Neither is a mouse and a keyboard, so...

Pfft, if you don't buy a $100 controller specifically for one game you're a goddamn moron and you don't deserve to game

Nah, just a filthy casual.

Spoiler

Same thing, really

You'll notice that I never mentioned the keyboard/mouse combo, and that the one shoving the PC into every opening* he can find is you ;O;

I'm just saying the dual analog is a jack of all trades, but master of one.

Beautiful, I fully agree.

Good question.

I vote for "Wii U leading in nextgen sales" article for the gratuitous amounts of delcious delusion. ;A;

My vote as well.

 

[Hyro-Sama]

Going to have to agree with Foxi. That or any other Wii U Sales related thread. Quite few of the posts had me rolling.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

Hmmm...

If there's any Blaze163 threads this year they're pretty high standing as usual. I mean we keep trying to kill them but they keep coming back. Like three times man.

The Wii U threads are pretty good. The "Console Power vs. The Twins" thread was pretty stellar. Also "And the winner is... the Wii U?" was pretty good. Pretty much confirmed calmwaters as a Nintoddler.

Overall the coveted Golden Toilet has some stiff competition.
