And rot the brains of millions of shitheads.
How so?
The lack of buttons.
It has impacted game design, retarded developers and even more retarded players expectations about what games should entail.
Gamepads could have easily come with at least 4 more ergonomically well placed buttons.
Because of the idiotic standard set by controllers, whenever there's a game we can already pretty much guess and approximate all of the functions that we can use with the buttons.
And because of that being a thing, majority of games come loaded with the same shit.
This fucking sucks very bad.
Even games with unique gameplay like THPS have been impacted by this.
There is a lot of freedom of expression in those games, more than any other known game series, but if game design in peoples minds wans't held back by the degenerative oppression by the controllers, we would actually see more diverse and fun games.

>>715762745 (OP)
incorrect.

cool story bro

why are we pretending nintendo is the only controller maker as if sony and microsoft don't exist?

>>715762745 (OP)
like every decent third party controller includes back buttons now. every game lets you rebind controls. it's your life bro

>>715762896
Kill yourself brain damaged troon

If your control scheme doesn't work with a gamepad it's badly designed.

>another peeshe seething over consoles thread

>>715762969
Brain damaged trash did not understand the thread...
It's not about the amount of buttons in present time, idiotic shit-filled fucking scum

>>715762896
>tendie persecution complex

>>715762745 (OP)
If anything, the real challenge is trying to get the control scheme down to the point that the face buttons and dpad need to be hit very infrequently if at all, with all your primary inputs being the triggers, bumpers, back buttons and sticks since you have one finger for each of them (so 8 buttons, since your little fingers are useless for button pressing).

The reason, by the way, that we do this is simple: it's ergonomic.

>>715762989
>>715762993
Games should have as many functions as possible. Gamepads is literally handicap trash. And It's a fact because if you play something like GTA, you are actually restricted by the amount of actions you can perform at a single time on console version of the game vs. PC

>>715762745 (OP)
We had the solution with the Steam controller but it was too advanced for the plebians.

>>715763043
At the little fingers could be additional triggers.
Anyway I don't understand how you retards don't understand the thread.
It is not about presently fixable situation.
It is about how the history of game development has been swayed into the permanently wrong way that has resulted in a
globally inferior quality of games than in the would be circumstances.

>>715763201
Idiotic trash.

>>715763206
>pulling a trigger with your little fingers
Are you fucking delusional?

>>715762745 (OP)
If anyone's to blame, it's Microsoft, for pushing Xinput as the standard without any wiggle room for extra buttons.

>>715763908
Brain damaged trash

>>715763908
The control scheme is older than that. Joysticks may be swapped around, but d-pad on the left + diamond shape of buttons on the right, plus four shoulder buttons has been standard for like two decades now.

>>715762745 (OP)
Cucksolefags will deny it but you are correct.
PC games suffer from awful UI because every dev is targeting cucksoles as their primary platforms.

>>715764068
A couple extra face buttons would be a huge improvement.

>>715762745 (OP)
Draw the controller you're imagining. Prove that you're not all talk.

>>715764191
This has fewer buttons than a dualshock.

>>715762745 (OP)
If your game needs 300 buttons to play, multiple triggers, back paddles, left and right stick push buttons, etc. then it's dogshit.

>>715764717
But positioned in a way that makes more sense for certain sorts of games.

>>715765292

>>715765292
I knew you were specifically talking about fighting layouts.

>>715765490
Also 2D platformers. And basically anything that began on the Sega Genesis.

>>715762745 (OP)
Get over yourself, Sega lost.

>>715765618
And we suffer the consequences of that to this day.

>>715765569
Okay, just put "[console or platform name] fight controller" into the search engine of your choice if you're married to the idea of six face buttons and an octagonal d pad. In the case of >>715765434 you also get extra bells and whistles like back buttons.

>>715762745 (OP)
Better than Keyboard and mouse

>>715762795
Fpbp
>>715764068
Nobody copied sony's design

>>715762745 (OP)
I do sort of agree. Prior to the seventh generation there was a lot more variety in controller designs, and more experimentation with unusual controller designs.

>>715762745 (OP)
No that's the exact ideal amount of buttons you need on a videogame, history proves that any other layout ends up being retarded. All your gay talk about freedom of expression and stagnation is proven wrong by the long history of alternate controllers and layouts that everyone tried before realizing it sucks and it's not fun to play with

We had more complicated games with less buttons back in the day. Excluding PC.

>>715766067
Not really, it was more like a natural progression where everything led to the same place eventually. You might think the Saturn 3d controller is worlds apart from the 64 controller but they're almost identical in function with the S3d having a better way to reach everything and nothing else over it. 1 stick, 1 pad, 6 face buttons, 2 shoulder buttons and a start button. 64 had the z, but you had to pick between that and the L button, and frankly, between the d pad and stick. The hori pad fixed that, but I assume we're talking about first party hardware.

Anon, what the hell are you angry about?

>>715762745 (OP)
Terminal nintendo derangement syndrome

>>715762745 (OP)
you are trying to shit on nintendo due a controller that has same desing as the other consoles?

>>715768072
See >>715768041

>>715762745 (OP)
you seem passionate about this OP, i'd be curious to hear what genres you think are being underserved by the limitations of current game pads? stuff like driving sims and flight sims will always need specialized controllers to some degree i reckon

>>715763028
Gee, settle down anon

>>715763092
Yes, you're just so skilled and profoundly hardcore that a standard controller just doesn't have enough buttons to handle your raw talent.
