[PS3] anyone ever use 3rd party controllers?

[Maynard]

he size was even mentioned in this thread. i remember those discussions at MM...silly imo. i used to think about how light it was and the feel.....it made me think i would break the thing in my hands. but its totally durable. i still use the original controller i got with the system. that like 3 years of wear and tear and it still looks and plays like new.

while typing there i was thinking i should just get a duel shock. the one with the rumble. mine doesnt have that

 

[jms493]

The rumble one feels better because it is heavier

 

[Maynard]

lol

I have the chatpad on my 360 controller and it weighs like 4 pounds. I get a workout.

I don't think any of those controllers have feedback, and that makes a game complete, IMO. I hate hate hate the PS3 controller, but I'm stuck with it.

Oh, and North...whoever you are/were...you are being a dick to be a dick. You never post in the Arcade section. Maynard does...and he trusts the judgment of the people here. That's why he asked, because 90% of the posters here were Game Room posters on MM....and he knows them.

People have different preferences. You obviously need a smaller controller with hand cramping stick placement to enjoy gaming, while Maynard enjoys the layout of the 360.

You remember when mommy used to say, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it?" Why don't you try it sometimes? It works.

Apparent;y North was NAHTSE. I found that out during a debate in the "Fine Smokeables" thread where he repeatedly called me a pig.

I think he's a bit fired up because he recently lost a great job. We all have bad days though.

 

[Maynard]

pig? why would he say that?

 

[NAHSTE]

Yeah I'll stay out of the arcade section from now on. And Twigg, there's an apology for you in that thread I told you to GTFO out of.

bad enough we had 1 retard come thru here, now we have 2. isnt there a group of 13 years olds in the locker room waiting for you?
:smug:

The Xbox 360 controller is the greatest controller of all time. If I had a PS3 I would be looking to purchase one of these, too.

That is b/c this kid failed a drug test for a new job.....LMAO. That is totally his fault so I have no pity.

Commence original discussion...

lol....i was joking. thanks though

 

[killgod]

Menards how the hell do you use the non rumble ps3? I was at my buddies once and he handed me that shit, it was too weird. It's lighter than an NES controller i think.

Then again I got the old school habits of moving my hands when I play, you know like when you're driving a car and when you turn, my hands and what not will kinda turn with it. Just seems a bit weird with what feels like nothing in your hands. Kinda like playing kinect......which is just totally gay.

Anyways....I do want to get one of those monochrome 360 controllers with the newer d-pad, i like the look of that one.

Not to derail things but I saw it. No hard feelings. I wasn't trying to piss you off with my initial comment in that thread but I can see how it could come off that way.

So Maynard, did you get one of these controllers yet? You know you cab always do what I did and buy one from TRU, Best Buy, etc and try it first. They will take it back open if it didn't work to your liking.

 

[IamMedellin]

Nahste still has a sandy Vag over his deflated career prospects....

But god damn it if his derailment of this thread wasnt entertaining..

on topic..
I wouldnt recommend a 3rd party PS3 controller....Sony claims they may Explode on you

i am probably gonna get a duel shock 3. i can deal with the layout of the ps3 controller.
any hassles it gives me are far less then having a 3rd party controller that is unresponsive.

i do want to check one out....if its crappy i will just return like twigg mentioned.

i dont know why i never got around to getting a controller with rumble. my main reason for owning a ps3 is the show and its baseball so rumble isnt important.

its funny that after 3 years of owning the system that the show is still the only real reason why i must have a ps3.....such a great game

 

[dope]

i like how rumble is incorporated into the show, really nice when pitching.

that's all i have to offer

 

[Maynard]

i was thinking that i am one of those i dont know what i am missing situations with the show

 

[Twigg4075]

I don't think it has been mentioned but Nyko makes a Raven controller which is very similar to the one that JMS posted and the one that I bought. I think the Nyko has been getting better reviews and higher marks though.

It also comes in the standard PS3 stick layout or the one featured with the offset sticks, ala the 360 pad.

And here's one of the first reviews I stumbled on:
