Steam controller is my least favorite.

Xbox and the Dualshock 2 are my favorites.

Of course, this is excluding the Wii stick controller, which is horrendous.

Xbox 360 and One are the best.

N64 and Dreamcast had awful controllers (although the virtual memory card for the DC controller was so freakin cool)

DS4 is fucking garbage

There isn't any way to hold it without my thumbs constantly sliding off the sticks. It's fine for RPGs but any action games likes Nioh or even Terraria in boss fights it's damn useless as a controller.

Playstation controller (any model really) is the best.

The worst is probably some obscure one no one cares about so I'll just pick N64 since it was a major console and is just ridiculously stupid.

Yeah, it was like a tiny two inch gameboy. You could disconnect it from the controller and play mini games on it to get in-game items for games like Skies of Arcadia.

You know actually I may have to change my vote. While the N64 controller is just patently stupid, if I had to choose between playing a game with it, or a Wii U Gamepad thing...I'd probably go with the N64. >_>

I love the Dualshock 4 and Gamecube controllers. They're at a tie for my number one. They're both so comfortable to hold. The DS4 is weighted perfectly and the Gamecube controller has the most comfortable shoulder buttons I've ever used.

The Sega Genesis controller is my least favorite. The buttons are squishy, the shape is anti-ergonomic and the lack of buttons is embarrassing, even for its time.

The Wii U Pro Controller is the best controller I've ever used.

So comfortable, and it never really dies - you just realize it's been a few months since you last charged it.

You continue to show you have no experience with the FPS genre. It doesn't do most of the work for you. It simply allows you to track your targets while you fine tune your aim because a joystick has less range of movement.

I've played both PC and console shooters plenty, and PC shooters were not more difficult. They were close to identical in difficulty. The difference is in the skill ceiling, not the skill floor.

It was almost the same size as the dreamcast controller.

When you're defending First person shooters w/controllers on consoles, it's time to stop posting.

Okay let's just ignore the millions upon millions of people playing FPSs on consoles and dismiss that as being a horrid and unplayable experience.

That would be like playing on a laptop trackpad, not a controller.

The only people who ever seem to have issues with using controllers for FPS are PC only players, and it's because they're unwilling to learn. It works just fine for everyone else.

All you're doing is proving my point: Playing FPS with controllers is dumb because the game needs to assist you with basic fucking mechanics

And how the hell does me never playing FPS on console mean I'm lacking experience in the FPS genre? That makes NO SENSE
