Reddit reviews KontrolFreek Classic for PlayStation 3 (PS3) and Xbox 360 Controller | Performance Thumbsticks | 2 High-Rise Concave | Black

I truly cannot belive no one has suggested Valkyria Chronicles. It's a 3rd person strategy/rpg/shooter and if you can get over the anime art atyle the gameplay is amazing. Also it's only $20 most places.

These are my personal favorite RPGs on the system atm:

Oblivion: GOTY
Demon's Souls
White Knight Chronicles
Dragon Age

I haven't played Star Ocean 4 International Edition or Final Fantasy XIII but I've heard they're wuite good.

You need to play LittleBigPlanet and Heavy Rain simply because they offer amazing modern gaming experiences.

You can buy some contorller add ons like triggers, thumbstick caps and cover skins. I also have large hands which cramp easily but I have found that by combining these three add-ons the controller is much more comfortable to hold for longer periods of time.

I also highly recommend checking out the Bannco Fragnstein to help easy your transition from the mouse/keyboard set-up. This controller is excellent for 1st adn 3rd person perspective games such as Oblivion and Uncharted 2.

As others have stated using the PS3 for internet browsing (especially with bluetooth keyboard and mouse) NETFLIX and as a media server are excellent uses of the system. If you have a PSP you can connect the two and remotely access your PS3 using your PSP from anywhere you can grab a wifi signal.

-Bonus Points- Coming out soon is a gaem called Gothic 4: ArcanA. The Gothic series has always been a very dark, mature role-playing series with more of a fanbase in Europe (Germany especially) and I think finding a German language of that game shoudl not be too difficult.

You're new to Xbox, it's going to take time to adjust from your point-n-click accuracy to a brand new device in your hand. Mess around with your sensitivity and find whats comfortable for you. From there just keep playing n playing. I think after that you could graduate to FPS Freeks

Practice practice my friend...

Start with RocketSurgeon's suggestion about starting high and dialing it back until it feels comfortable.

Turn on aim assist if it's not on.

I use these things: FPS Freek by KontrolFreek

They were tough to get used to and I only use it on the right stick but they seem to help.

> adding an FPSfreak stick to your right analogue

I'd like to second this, though I swear I got mine cheaper than this (also from Amazon). As far as sensitivity goes, I'm at what you're calling a 5, but I had to incrementally bump it up over several sessions. I didn't find it easy to just jump to 5 (though I did try... I just sucked).

These are pretty awesome, if you plan on playing some FPSs.

What you lack in precise aiming is made up for with other things being easier. Strafing always seemed better to me because you are not limited to 4 directions, but can use all 360 degrees. Also you can play a hell of a lot longer without getting hand cramps. Also you can play while on your back on any position you want. This is coming from someone who prefers PC, but is honest about how capable consoles are at FPSs. Besides moving all other movements like jumping and crouching and toggling are a bit quicker on controllers. Also this product exists to help with precise aiming. They extend the length of the analog sticks allowing for more precise movement. http://www.amazon.com/FPS-Freek-KontrolFreek-Classic-Pc/dp/B002R2JCNK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1323722541&sr=8-2

You can use these. I only use one on my right stick since I don't need the finer control on the left stick but they still keep your fingers in.

I strongly suggest These Kontrol Freek Adaptors They trully add accuracy and it allows you to use the tip of your thumb.

I am not exaggerating, My kd in mw3 was 3.4 and 3.1 in BO2, definitely worth the $12
