Holy fuck I'm not the only one. My partner and I watched The Last of Us and I wanted to play the game. He had it on his ps4, which I have never played. I made myself the same thing with the dumb ass square, circle, triangle, dodecahedron layout on the PS controller. He laughed at me too :C

dodecahedron

Dodecahedron? Don't PS controllers use Square, Circle, Triangle, and X?

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 14 points 6 months ago

Just to make controller layouts more confusing:

The PlayStation buttons were designed as:

⭕ = YES ❌ = NO

But Notth American gamers were used to these options being in the other position so the function the buttons were designed for is backwards on a lot of games.

Where did they get used to them being in the opposite position? Nintendo was using down button for no and right button for yes on the SNES, and Xbox wasn't around yet.

They learned on the MadCatz

To be fair, the commenter to whom you're responding might have been engaging in hyperbole.

Maybe not. Just a theory. (But I was similarly confused)

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Ho do you confuse an X for a dodecahedron?

As a guy who has been gaming for decades, don't feel bad, I still look at the controller every time it says "Press X to do thing!" even thought I know by muscle memory what every button does, as soon as it references a button or keyboard key by name it's like my brain just flows straight out my ears and I am suddenly an old grandma using technology for the first time, hunting and pecking for each lettered button.

Which X are we talking about? PS? Xbox? Nintendo? Where am I?

[-] harmsy@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

This is why, if I ever develop a game, I won't use the letters or symbols on the buttons. I'll show a set of four buttons, with the one that needs pressed highlighted.

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

You know, the button.
