Quote:I don't think I was alone and completely insane for seeing triggers on a controller for the first time and associating them with guns. I know I'm not alone on this or completely insane, because I've seen OTHER people make the same association. So stop acting like a dick.
Look, this is OB1. He is always right, period, end of story... it doesn't matter if that something is completely opinion-based and there is no element of absolute fact for anyone to use, he is always, 100%, objectively, right.
This is a perfect example of that fact.
Quote:Yes, and that's because they were positioned so that you would use your index fingers.
What on earth is wrong with you people. Did all of you watch the MS press conference? Maybe that has turned you dumb or something.
If a trigger were placed on a controller in a position that would be comfortable for the middle finger, it would work just fine. You would find that you're not actually that incompetent with your middle fingers, and would soon find a dozen different ways of using your other digits! It would be a revelation! I wish this for all of you; Smoke, beanjo, ABF.
Look, you miss the point. I said, from the beginning, that with time you get used to using your middle fingers for lower buttons. I never implied that I was saying that I was bad with those buttons "it feels wrong" is not "I can't handle them". I don't know why you think that's what I meant. I meant what I said: it feels unnatural and is tough to get used to. Not "it makes playing games really hard".
Consider, one gets used to what one has used. My first controller with shoulder buttons was a Microsoft Sidewinder.
