In Clockwise Order

Playstation: Circle, Cross, Square, Triangle
Nintendo: A, B, Y, X
XBOX: B, A, X, Y

Only difference with the L&R buttons are the back ones. Nintendo uses "Z", XBOX uses "T" and Playstation uses "2"

This "Useless Tips No One Else Gives Two Fucks About" post of the day was brought to you by me.

I think you just illustrated why @SSj_Ness can remember the PS buttons. The PS buttons actually have names (or to be more accurate theyre labeled twice). A circle and a triangle are going to be more recognizable than an x and a y.

Nintendo has the worst labels because they constantly change the buttons' colors. It's never consistent. And the Game Cube controller is a crime against humanity with the X and Y with the same shape and color, and the same distance over the A button to make it even more confusing,

nigga in clockwise order is X A B Y, triangle, circle, x, square and i cannot remember xbone that well because most of the games i played were on ps2 rather than hugebox. because it starts at 12 'o clock, yours clockwise start at 5 it seems.

and i can exemplify why memory werks, SSjNess seemed to have played the most at super nintendo because regular nintendo only had BA, G and Z were buttons that went mostly unused on the 25 cents arcades here and consisted of the last two, similar to saturn controller scheme where it has 6 buttons.

Nintendo's inconsistency with button colors has always been weird, especially how they had a perfectly good color scheme with the SNES in Japan and Europe, but then made the American ones two shades of purple



why would you change that. why

And then just to be even weirder, there were officially licensed third party controllers with the foreign color scheme:


and if you connect the button labels to their buttons on that controller, you get a swastika

What god of war ragnarok "gameplay"? The prompted cues where an NPC tells you when to hit an enemy? Or the enemies bantering endlessly like you're on a fucking joss whedon movie?

X is on the right (as it always is on Nintendo) and is curved to the right, Y is on the left (as it always is on Nintendo) and is curved to the left. Every in-game button prompt I’ve seen reflects these shapes.

Ah man, I remember the Pro Pad. It's how I did the infinite raft grind in FF3/6. I also remember it had an auto-switch for the Start button the back of it. Thing was strong too, bet if I could dig mine up, it'd still work.

Another odd thing I remember, is in Mortal Kombat 2; Liu Kang's bicycle kick was a "hold down LK for ~2 seconds then release." But if you put A (or whatever button is mapped to LK) on auto, the game would spam bicycle kick.

NoA requested the cosmetic (and functional, I suppose, in the form of X and Y being concave) changes that the SNES received in America. Some of the Japanese staff, including Miyamoto, were actually impressed with them back then. This went away in the N64 era, and especially by the time of the Gamecube, with standardized designs released across all regions.

i give him two months.
member when a ultra woke gamedev got punted out of a EA studio in less than a month for trying to be too woke? pepperidge farm remembers.

you can do it in a emulator too, because pro controllers have things like macro where it can fool the game, ps1 games have a similar result where you can pick a pro controller and just spam commands that you normally have to wait in a few games.

It’s more than two years now and Sony still has not fixed the issue with sleep mode. If you use it it crashes, if you activate this link option with which the ps5 boots up when you turn on the tv with the remote, it crashes.
If you decide to play a ps4 game it will not crash, only on ps5 games when you activate this „feature“.
Fucksake, microcock has a working „resume play“ function that works very good as far as I can tell.
I regret buying a ps5.

If people are complaining about the second game sounding like a joss whendon movie, then they didn't play the first. You hear the first "Fuck" in 2018 when you run into Brok for the first time and Atreus uses modern lingo throughout the game starting with the tutorial section.

But yes the game has actual gameplay, lots of places you can explore and find puzzles to solve and quests to do, also a very well done melee combat system of which you use throughout the many many boss battles in the game. It's a very solid addition to the action adventure genre and it's honestly the largest game in the series in terms of combat sections. It's like trying to proclaim that none of the final fantasies are RPGs because you have breaks in the action where a character talks or you're witnessing a cinematic scene. Major scenes in God of War are less intrusive than what Square Enix was doing in the late 90's.

Playstation 5 might become the first playstation console I skip out on. Supply issues are still ongoing, meaning that even if I got tempted to buy one it's not possible unless I want to participate in some dystopian lottery to get the privilege to waste my money. I can wait another 3 years for the next playstation.

 

[augment]

At the rate things are going, there might not be a next playstation.
Maybe an online service though.

Take this with a grain of salt the size of Jupiter.

I see RROD-level of malfunctions on the horizon. Every Sony product i've ever owned, from digital cameras to headphones to their consoles, was shoddily made. The last issue was the tiny screws inside of my PS4 being of such garbage quality that one twist of the screwdriver completly ruined them, a bitch and a half to get them out afterwards.

Edit: Shit, i had to flip my first-gen PS1 upside down to get games to work eventually and i knew many people who had this same exact problem. QC is anathema to Sony.

Yeah, for all the shit Microsoft gets for the 360, the first playstation (boxy one with the port on the back you could use a Gameshark on) was the only system I had that never had an issue during it's generation. And I'm pretty sure that's just me being lucky as I also heard about people having to flip their Playstations upside down or prop them up with shoes.

I absolutely detest that especially when on top of that they use bullshit proprietary heads. So they have the money to get some special screw but then make it out of the shittiest Chinesium money can buy.

Henderson was amongst the Switch Pro reveal next week journos, was he not?

 

[CaptainAutism69]

The only reason I can see to buy a PS5 is if you skipped the PS4, or your PS4 broke. It's little more than an incremental upgrade at the moment. Same with the XBOX X
