Okay, I'll be sticking to the DS3, had to replace it once when I got a bit nasty trying to knife someone who came out of nowhere. Joystick busted :ouch:
 
My mouse is a logitech also but when it comes to gaming stuff they just don't cut it.

???

Srsly?

The Mx518 is one of the best mice for gaming ever made. Period. Their mouse range is about their only solid product range; their gaming keyboards are complete crap.
 
I have a buddy who actually really the liked the "official" BO controller on the 360. Mapping the melee to the underside button sounded pretty useful. However it did wear out on him after a several months of regular use.

Quality wise, I wouldn't use anything but the DS3 either.

Two underside buttons, one on each side, would be fantastic for FPS use. Being able to melee without having to move my right thumb off the right thumbstick would help me out tremendously.

I have the MX-518 and it has been nothing short of outstanding, especially considering it is Logitech's entry level piece.
 
Is it too lazy to copy & paste what I just posted on Amazon?
I used to have both Xbox 360 & PS3, and I played Call of Duty games on them. After getting used to the Xbox 360 controller, I had come to prefer its design over the PS3's.

PS3 controller felt too small, and those trigger buttons(L2 & R2) were downright awkward. Logitech controller addressed those two problems for me, then some, but it does have its shortcomings.


Good:
- Body of the controller feels slightly smaller than the Xbox 360 one, just about perfect. Body shape was little strange to me, but once I had it in my hands, it felt completely natural to me.
- I like the triggers better than PS3, or even the X360's as far as the placement & button travel are concerned.

Bad:
- While I love the trigger buttons(L2/R2), they have this super dirt cheap spongy feel to it. Same goes for the other buttons. It wasn't a big deal for me.
- It does not have recharge capability through the PS3 console. Two "AA" batteries do last very long time though.
- Lacks motion sensor capability. I use it solely for Call of Duty games, and it hasn't become a problem for me yet. But without this feature, this controller is unusable on some games.

It's noteworthy that while I was not very gentle with my controller(lol), mine lasted a very long time. It is very durable in my opinion. I would guess it's lasted about two years through heavy uses & some..... abuse. Damn Modern Warfare games, you know how it is! Some buttons have now started to go out.

I just ended up on the website while looking for the replacement. I tried BestBuy, where I bought it, but they don't carry it anymore.

Regarding the analog sticks, mine lasted just about the same length as the PS3 & X360 factory controller sticks. The left one's been doing that slow gradual slide thing for couple of months, but now I'm starting to have problems with it.

With my preference on Logitech, it's not about the price or quality. I just hate the stock controller. As I said in my Amazon review, the trigger buttons are very weird to me, and overall body size is too small. For me. ;)
 
PC gaming is dead. When I think gaming I think consoles.

Excuse me while I laugh.

Okay, sorry. The most money at professional levels is tied up in PC gaming right now.
 
Only hardcore PC nerds still play on PC. Console is where all the developers are. Its a much larger market. How many PC exclusive game studios are out there putting out big titles every year? Its a niche market these days. Think about it. You put out a game out on PS3/XBOX and not only are you going to push it but Sony and Microsoft are also going to push it and there are already a lot of people out there with the hardware to play it. You put a game out on PC and you're on your own. No way in hell Dell or HP is going to give a crap about your little game. Not to mention how you will probably have to upgrade your computer every 6 months or so to keep up with the new games where as a console player can spend less and get more life out of it.

This isn't really a knock on PC, its just the way I see it. Those that are into PC gaming thats cool, but its by far a minority among gamers at this point.
 
:rolleyes:

So many things so wrong in what you just posted I'm not really gonna bother.

But, you don't need to upgrade every 6 months. I usually upgrade every couple of years.

People are giving a crap about Minecraft, last I checked.

WoW has one of the highest revenue streams.

The games aren't rushed piles of crap (the CoD games, sports games), so yes, there are fewer titles.

Professional gaming and competition is highest on the PC. CS1.6 is still played competitively. So is the original Brood War, and now SC2. Halo and CoD get played at MLG, but those titles specific are always what ever is the most new game because they don't have enough depth at this point to merit serious play for more than a year or two.

Honestly, this game, MW2, is a joke of design, and anyone that thinks it can be played at a truly competitive level is just, well, not bright.
 
PC's also get the benefit of community mods, which in some cases, can vastly improve the quality of the game via bug fixes, add-ons and graphical touches. I'm looking at you F1 2010.

There is nothing dead about the PC as a legitimate gaming platform. Sure it may not haul in the bulk of the revenue anymore, but for example neither does Ferrari, Aston Martin or Porsche in the auto industry and I can't think of anyone who doesn't consider them legitimate, and serious, car manufacturers ;).
 
By that argument the Wii is a serious and legitimate gaming system as well.

The wii has some titles in it that are used in competitive play.

Sure it is. Just depends on what one is serious about. If you're serious about getting your Mario or Zelda game on, which millions of people are, then that's the system you want to own. As far as competitive multiplayer, I'm not as well versed on the Wii's options, but I trust that they do exist. I do know there are some very serious Monster Hunter players around the globe. Oh yeah, Super Smash Bros has some wickedly dedicated, serious and legitimate tournaments, if that is your thing.

There's lots of different boats out there and lots of different ways to float them ;).

Yellow card!
 
Now this is news to me. They play Wii sports at the Olympics?

Tatsunako vs Capcom : UAS was used in Evolution2009/10. Same with Smash Brothers Brawl/Melee

 
Last time I checked, most of us on here just care about having a good time and not aspiring to be a super cool professional gamer.
 
You lost me :confused:. Am I being booked for some minor infraction?

It is a small joke because they use yellow cards for a warning at the Smashboards.

Speak for yourself, I aspire to be a super :cool: casual gamer. :lol:

Ah, ok.

👍

Don't take it too serious all the time.

The competitive scene for Smash Brothers is more serious than the CoD games, I'd say.

And by dollars made, it is a highly relevant platform.

Honesty, the XBOX and PS3 gaming group is mostly people that are A - Bros that talk about their WRX and play beer pong or B - JPRG lovers that need their next FFXX fix or something. And multiplayer gaming on a Console is still ages behind the PC.

It was mostly just the assumption that "gaming" really only applies to consoles, when honestly, consoles are still getting the crappier games and peripherals. The DS3 or XBOX controller are still inferior to a simple keyboard and mouse setup for FPS games as well.
 
You guys are bunch of nerds(I'm still in denial).
