GTA: SA on XBOX (or: How to make controls irritating) - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Black and white buttons to look to the side in a car for a drive-by? With B being the shoot button and R being the accelerator, L being the brake? They realize, like, that's completely unintuitive and uncomfortable, not to mention near impossible in the heat of the moment, right? Cause I realized it. Really, really quickly.

Other than that, cool improvements in graphics and how the game runs, which was worth the wait for moi. Someone needs to shoot whoever thought of that control scheme though.

I don't understand, the 360 controller looks pretty much the same as the current one. Unless I missed something drastic...

It ends up a cheap-ass controller I bought for 4-player gaming has black and white buttons on the shoulders... AWESOME.

Black and White buttons have been relocated to shoulder pads above the triggers.

Hmm...sounds pretty lame. I don't really have any issues with the current controller (except there are too many buttons) but like Moogle can attest, that doesn't mean a developer uses it well.

I lost an hour and a half of play time tonight because the save icons just vanished. I ran into one just as the cell phone rang, which makes them go away, but after the call it never came back. I did another mission, died, got busted, nothing made it come back.

FUCKING ANNOYING.

I play consoles to stay away from glithces.

I've started using an $8 PS2 to Xbox/GC controller adapter, which makes drive-bys (What is the plural of drive-by?) much easier. The only problem I have is that it feels a little strange having the gas and brake on R2 and L2 and weapon selection on R1 and L2 -- still much better than fucking around with the black and white buttons.
