MonsieurMonkey Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 But you don't need a reference to the other stick as they work independently of each other. Surely if what you said were true nobody on an xbox would be able to aim while strafing. It just clearly isn't true. There is no accurate and up to date information on uk sales floating about. We aren't a big player in the gaming world. PS controllers are designed for smaller japanese hands, xbox ones for larger western hands. That's just the way it is. It's just the way I do it, like I said a lot of it is probably due to familiarity. But it definitely helps knowing that I can use the position of one finger to help direct the other. The sticks being closer definitely helps with it to. That was my point, we aren't a big player, so people in this country wouldn't be used to consoles like they are elsewhere. I bet a lot of PS console sales are in the East, it's been a part of their mainstream culture for a lot longer. To be fair, I've been playing a lot of XBox while I've been at home over the summer, and I've got big hands, neither controller feels uncomfortable, I don't struggle with either. It hardly makes any odds, the only time I notice it is with the positioning of the left stick. Everything else doesn't really make any difference.

Pete.M Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Well judging by this pic it looks like you've been playing with some hue/saturation to cover it up that you are ! Wait a second, is the girl there called Beth? I'm convinced I know her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarf Shortage Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Got a pre-release of Minecraft 1.8, new lighting is better, but shitter at the same time, whole XP thing looks awesome and the new little features like sprinting and stuff are pretty sweet.

Muel Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Wait a second, is the girl there called Beth? I'm convinced I know her. Nope, definitely not. Got a pre-release of Minecraft 1.8, new lighting is better, but shitter at the same time, whole XP thing looks awesome and the new little features like sprinting and stuff are pretty sweet. Not had a fiddle yet, I'm just going to wait for the proper release. Server I play on is going to undergo a load of changes and start a fresh map at the same time.

Luke Dunstan Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Okay, Battlefield 3 is terrible. I know it's only a Beta but I did expect more. It's worse than BC2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Is this one actually called Battlefield 3 or Bad Company 3? Always gets me confused when people talk about Battlefield 2 when they mean Bad Company 2 lol. BF2 is rather old now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewEH1 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Is it just online play or the single player campaign as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Is it just online play or the single player campaign as well? It's just online, a Level called "Metro". If everything is polished for release, it's got some potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
