Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

The Wii controller really isn't as simple as this image leads you to believe. With the nunchuck attached, it still has like 12 buttons. The Gamecube has 16 if you count the DPad and C-Stick each as 4.

Out of every controller, I think the XBox 360 still does it best. A decent number of buttons, analog sticks, etc, in a nice form factor.

I think the XBox S is still my favorite controller. I started playing Fable with the original "fatty" and thought archery sucked. When I got an "S" Controller, it suddenly became a whole new fun way to play for me.

Mouse and Keyboard are what really do it for me.

The nintendo 64 controller isn't built for 3 hands. I don't get why people always think so. Didn't you understand how to hold it?

It's so you can hold it on the two outer handels for games that plays like the old nes/snes controllers.

Or with one hand on the middle and right handles for first person games using the analog stick.
