At that point my game conveniently pauses and asks me to reconnect the controller which I do be simply turning it back on. This turns out to be a nice moment of reflection, and I typically realize I should turn the console off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-14779927087658501852008-02-25T08:39:00.000-05:002008-02-25T08:39:00.000-05:00@ motarhedd: On the Team Ninja tip, I'm sure Ninja...@ motarhedd: On the Team Ninja tip, I'm sure Ninja Gaiden 2 will help millions of gamers push their controllers to the limit.Mitch Krpatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15987162934932391765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-80625644643380220712008-02-25T08:18:00.000-05:002008-02-25T08:18:00.000-05:00the reason that the 360 controller can sustain the...the reason that the 360 controller can sustain the blow the best, is because microsoft realised that the xbox is the most frustrating system. therefore they had to accomodate such protection, resulting in a "brick" like configuration for their clunky controller.
