why was 'start' so bad

>>723433438
the 3 lines is called a burger menu
its unironically the burger button

>>723433403
that is literally a dualsense controller from Sony and the button in question is in no way labelled "options"

>>723433438
because the start button stopped the game

>>723433116 (OP)
It is the start button.

>>723433502
yeah well pressing 'L' will Ready my weapon and pressing 'R' will Activate my weapon and 'A' makes me Leap so i guess we should shuffle those around too

>>723433252
Hamburger.

>>723433403
Select is pressing the touchpad. Share is a wholly new thing.

I still mix them up on tutorials/prompts. Fucking hamburger and overlapping squares instead of select and start, what a shit idea.

>>723433438
On a related note, why the fuck does nothing use actual words for its controls now? Whether it's software or consumer electronics or a fucking oven, everything is just a bunch of vague symbols now. What is wrong with modern designers?

>>723433252

Games still say press the start button, so yeah.

>>723435437
Because everything has to be designed for a GLOBAL AUDIENCE and mainly chinks and pajeets, who cannot understand Human languages and need simple pictographic symbols instead

i have to check every time when im playing with xbox controller and it wants me to press the double square or three lines buttons

>>723433403
I hate the dedicated share button so much. Stop trying to sneak social media into my gaming.

>>723433116 (OP)
Honestly, just got a ps5 recently after staying away from consoles for the past 15 years. Took me a minute to get used to that.

>>723433116 (OP)
It's not called the start button?

isn't it "to this day you still"?

It would be correct if they hadn't missed out some commas.

I was expecting this post already. Disappointing.

>>723433116 (OP)
It took me years to realize after starting PC gaming in earnest that RB and RT stand for 'R-Button' and 'R-Trigger'. Thought they were 'Top' and 'Bottom', though that only makes sense if you flip the controller towards you as if to look at the buttons directly. Even the labels on the buttons are usually right side up when you do that.

>>723437736
Ayooo unc be fuming frfr

>>723438234
>PC gaming in earnest that RB and RT
you're talking about Xbox controllers, right? RB actually stands for Right Bumper

Start and select are le bad because they are outdated but only having 4 front buttons is a good thing because it's a tradition mmkay?

>>723439243
no one says that, retard

Options is Start.
Touchpad is Select.

What's the share button? Analog?

>>723433403
I like the dedicated share button so much. I enjoy making my own clips and captures.

The share button shouldn't exist, expecting the average player to have a youtube channel is unrealistic.

>>723441802
expecting the average player to have a youtube channel is the goal

The "start" and "select" buttons were copyrighted by some patent troll, hence why all modern controllers have those buttons renamed to something stupid.

>>723433116 (OP)
Apparently the proper term for those three horizontal lines is a "hamburger."
gg, America.

Yep, you did a great job fixing something that wasn't broken there, everyone.

>>723442702
This would be a good reasoning if the button that use to be the start button did still have more potential uses where it won't be doing whatever it is called now. Nintendo was the only one that had the sense to just make it a generic button with an easy to recognize symbol.

>>723442702
Back in the early NES games, select would literally cycle the cursor through menu options.

I agree that select was never a great name for the button, and that was a really shitty function of the button, but it's nice have an extra button that can also open submenus or act as functions in game that aren't too common enough to take up real estate from main face buttons

>>723433417
I fucking hate it. If they wanted a share button, it should have been the touch pad button. Left coudl be screen shot and right could be video or something. Leave pause and select alone.

>>723433368
Facebook users don't use Impact font.

>>723443824
All Sony had to do was make the PS button multipurpose for it. They could have simply done

> Tap - Go to OS
> Hold - Open the ingame menu
> Double-tap - Take screenshot/clip
Or did modifier combos that involve holding the button, like they already do for the Accessibility Zoom feature.

>>723442076
SHADOW NO

I actually think it was a reasonable change to make. The Start button did literally the opposite, it paused. Menu buttons are ubiquitous in the modern age, represented by the 3 lines otherwise known as the burger/ menu icon. Pressing the button will open menu in-game (and may or may not pause the game, because you're in a menu, which is likely the primary reason you hit the button rather than wanting to pause). It also has functions outside of games where it would open menus rather than pause.

Select also didn't make any sense.

Yes I'll still possibly refer to the button as the Start button regardless.

Why did they switch the X/O button functionality between regions? The Japanese one is correct, though it would have made more sense at least to maybe change the colors on the buttons around rather than reversing the functionality. It also aligned with the Nintendo standard layout.

>>723442015
You're taking out of your ass.
Nintendo have done away with select since the N64 and adopted the plus and minus since the Wii. Xbox never had select in the first place and replaced the both start and "back" with abstract symbols starting with the Xbone. Sony's controller inertia pre-DS4 was the only thing keeping those terms alive.

>Americans naming a button """""""""for the global audience""""""""""

What's the next step in controller evolution?
Nobody gives a fuck about Gyro

>>723448452
Um, Nintendo DS and 3DS have start and select buttons.

>>723433368
>now

>>723435437
Because "Start" has to be localised into comenzar, शुरू, 始める and more.
Meanwhile, the burger button is just three horizontal lines. It doesn't need to be translated.

>>723448332
>Why did they switch the X/O button functionality between regions?
Genesis' A button was at the bottom and Americans preferred platformers to JRPGS so B was the SNES' de facto main button for them. Sony would rather not try to force change with their debut console and lose the North American market so they changed their system instead. There's also nothing inherently "correct" about the Japanese scheme.

>>723448637
Carry over from the GBA they didn't feel like changing, and that didn't do nearly as much to keep the buttons in the public consciousness as the DualShock line did.
Either way, it wasn't some nonexistent patent troll that killed those either, but the Switch using the home console icons for consistency.

when did they move those buttons? what's the flat thing in the middle?

i think it's a touch pad or something. i've seen it at my sister's house but never used it.

thats a stupid name for a button

>>723441730
It's in a stupid spot though. The select and start buttons are traditional. Make Share a feature instead by holding Select and Start at the same time. I only use it for screenshots, but it's convenient when I do want it.

I don't necessarily mind symbols and they can be creative, but I don't get how the fuck you go from 3 horizontal lines meaning options, I want to see the rationale for that.
