IGN Reviews - Eightarc Arcade Sticks Review

[andree1991]

is this like a normal arcade stick or does it have like the square shape at the base of the stick? i mean, can i push it the way and go in circles or and i gonna have to make the circles without touching the fucking straight edges?

[gamerso1990]

Whoa Destin! I had no idea your new job was at IGN. You certainly are moving up in the gaming world. I remember those ScrewAttack days.

[Nexo213]

I should note. The 360 Onyx was discontinued. If you want an Eightarc stick for 360, the Fusion (which is planned to be restocked in January) is your only option.

[ScReWaTtAcKeD]

Hey dumbasses, how you "accidentally" push the buttons is MIXING UP start/select.home side with the mode/turbo side. You guys need to think

[Nexo213]

@ScReWaTtAcKeD Though the buttons are mostly flush on the side, it sticks out a tiny bit. Still, it doesn't take long to adjust to it.

[arso21]

How the hell do you 'ACCIDENTALLY' push the buttons on the side? Fucking retarded comment.

[xSoShi]

why this is almost like Qanba Q4raf .

[flyboobo]

@xSoShi Eightarc is partnered with Qanba. They use Qanba cases.

[Nexo213]

@xSoShi Because Eightarc teamed up with Qanba to make the sticks. The major difference between Qanba's Q4RAF & the Eightarc Fusion is the fact that the Fusion's start button isn't with the other face buttons (& the lack of a handle). The start button position may be a big deal for some in fear of an accidental pause, so your decision between the Q4RAF & the Fusion will depend on if you care about the start button position & the inclusion/lack of a handle.

[wrxsecks17]

Why are the top comments for this video MW3 related? This video has absolutely no relation to that game. Go argue on another video shooter fanboys. btw, I love battlefield 3

[RoarkyRaw]

@hwrwephzyut Man you beat IGN to the punch!

[ScReWaTtAcKeD]

DESTIN! YOU TRAITOR!

[Murdoku]

why not just get a Madcatz TE?

[mathew19648]

@doddnqdrf You know it's kinda funny how I saw this exact same stupid comment on another video. Now act like yourself and go continue sucking you mom's nipples.

[datafail13]

[Ninjadude973]

[MegamanEFG]

If arcade sticks arent so damn expensive xP that fusion eightarc stick is universal if not only for the price tag (-_-)

[ironsoxx]

wtf is cloud gaming lol

[32leota]

25¢ at da arcades for a game is way better plus who would play online w.dat sh*t ?

[UNSCArcher]

@32leota People who like playing games at home

[XxDEATHRUNExX]

One word: WHY?

[TheDirkXD]

I see the same thing in the store for €60,-.

[ThaoAlex]

Stick- stick- stick

[Nexo213]

Still waiting for Eightarc to restock their Fusion supply. Also, their consumer service is godlike.

[xxYdoxxx]

[Robchappell88]

[Shining4Dawn]

He went to ign. Finally their will be a good ign reviewer

[camelridingjihad]

[MrShotgun175]

literally the most childish comeback and comment have been moved to the top comments section

[AndresPetMonkey]

@MrShotgun175 Your mum is a childish comeback.

[kstew0BSESSED]

who the fuck would spend $150 on a arcade stick

[HomeOfTheBestVideos]

why does the xbox version not work on a PC and the sony one does? -__-

[ICharlyl]

i dont like videos that talk about Sticks and Wood

[TheMalmsteenGreg]

its not daigo!!!

[MetalloDevasto]

this type of joystick sucks XP you can use it only on tekken xP you can't play FPS or anything that has a camera control.

[ANIMEman0519]

@MetalloDevasto

yea...

because FPS were totally meant to be played with arcade sticks....-_-

[thearrah]

@ANIMEman0519 lol;..seriously he HAS 2 be trolling

[RisenSounds]

@MetalloDevasto you're...you're joking right.

[George32027]

@MetalloDevasto ma vaffanculo non scrivere in inglese che non sei capace metallaro del cazzo

[3croN]

I have the best Arcade Stick ever created - in my pants.

[username951100]

@3croN why would you keep a arcade stick in your pocket?

[Fiilis1]

@3croN pic or i don't believe u

[3croN]

@Fiilis1 Ask your mom.  I think she has the pic.

[AV0LTAG3]

@3croN wow, you have both top comments. thats not fair >:(

[AlexanderVukovic]

@3croN hahahahahahahhahaha

[BelieveTheCraze]

@Fiilis1 nice comeback ace

[Fiilis1]

@BelieveTheCraze i only come on my gf's back

[TheHephaestus16]

@3croN an Arcade Stick has to be less than 3 inchs,just saying

[3croN]

@TheHephaestus16 Lol, nice one, totally agree with you. You would nt handle my stick, sadly

[TaylorTV5]

@3croN You should trade it for joke telling lessons

[3croN]

@TaylorTV5 You THINK that was a joke ?

[OJSlaughter93]

These arcade sticks do look great: the Xbox 360 is clearly rubbish without the turbo and mode buttons: i would uy one but the UK import costs are too much will have to buy domestically

[onevietnamese]

Anyone got this guy? I'm in the market for a new stick as my TE is dying. I've borrowed my buddies Hori but there's just not enough room for my palms/wrists. The only TE I can find is the original, and I don't feel like dropping another $200ish on the exact same stick.

[granbate23]

@onevietnamese HORI's Real Arcade Pro V3 or VX its really good, and its like 130$ on amazon, but ill stick with Madcatz since they have been the more reliable brand, I have tried my friends Eight Arc and its a bit stiff, yes the good thing its they are dual moded but from that, Ill stick to my MvC3 TE Stick, also the new SFxT Stick its pretty good

[onevietnamese]

@granbate23 Yea, a lot of people seem to like the V3, and I actually have one on hand to test out, but I can't get used to how little room there is under the buttons. I'm just extremely used to the TE's width, and with the V3 being narrower, my palms are resting on a slant, which bothers me a lot. The SFxT stick is the one I'm wanting, but being in Canada, its impossible to get a stick without paying up the ass for shipping, so I'm always looking for alternatives.

[granbate23]

@onevietnamese I know what you mean, I had always HORI since they sold internationally on amazon, but when I got my TE stick it was over, if you want more room for hands HORI VLX its the way, but it isnt that of a deal since its A LOT bigger than the V3 and also quite more expensive

[skupulo]

I dont like that stick, the best one was in the past in the arcades, was like a tear do you remeber?

[ResilientPurple]

is there anyway i can buy just a joystick for pacman championship edition?

on XBOX 360

[joker5694]

im good with my duelshock

[hermosapeach]

@joker5694 Shit me too!

[BigMeetch123]

what does turbo do on the 360?

[MattyStarship]

@ Lenny blade. No

[lennyblade]

Do these sticks work on Ps2 and Xbox: the last gen ones?

[BigMeetch123]

@lennyblade no

[MyGodfathersNamedAl]

How the hell do you accidentally pause with the buttons on the side? The buttons and sticks are the only thing you should be touching its actually easier to pause the Fusion because some games (MvC2, UMvC3 and 3s come to mind) require you to mash buttons to get more damage and your finger could slip upward while mashing an AHVB.

[MrSneakmind]

@MyGodfathersNamedAl Lololol so already expecting Umvc3 to be a spamfest? I guess that's pretty fair though ...It looks like a really solid upgrade from MvC3 though.

Also maybe if you were mashing SUPER HARD.... and the stick flipped over...

[MyGodfathersNamedAl]

@MrSneakmind No I mean in UMvC3 if you mash on the buttons during hyper's you get more damage just like in MvC2 and in 3s there are a few supers where you do the same thing.

[NSTYFatMan]

DESTIN!!!!

[Blastes]

@Brettmobile10 well this doesnt really play for cod all i can say, it really for fighting games and there is not a large amount of people to like fighting games

[TastesLikeNachos]

The XBox is more expensive, and has like 3 features less than the ps3 version, WTF?

[NoKittyMyP0TPIE]

Hey Destin, I think I speak for all the g1s, we miss over at screwattack, hope you like working at IGN

[MrSneakmind]

Ok if you people are wondering why these Arcade Sticks are so expensive...

The reason is because the crowd who buys this stuff is the fighting game scene, which is VERY competitive. At that level of gaming, it's usually way more justifiable to buy an arcade stick for obvious reasons. These arcade sticks are EXTREMELY well made and theyre works of art. This isn't some shitty xbox controller that breaks down after 2h of use

tl;dr don't hate on this product, it's great and you're just ignorant.

[ShoopdaWoop265]

LOL an AC ad FTW!

[esplover1]

@vespers119 Competitive fighting game enthusiasts mostly use arcade sticks in tourneys. It's personal preference. You don't have to buy a shitty joystick and buttons from the 80s if you don't want to. :P

[hsbinoz39]

Well that's the first time I've seen anything from Destin in a long time...

[DestinRL]

@hsbinoz39 then it's possible you've been living under a rock.

[hsbinoz39]

@DestinRL Haha, very likely; a rock known as the last year of school. I kind of lost track of you after you left screwattack to be honest, but I always liked your stuff (despite being a Pokemon fan!). *Subscribes to channel*.

[DestinRL]

@hsbinoz39 thanks dude! I'm kind of all over now, but it's cool when people recognize me still.

[TheFifthteenthMember]

uh no thank you...

[Niallphillips]

WHO GIVES A SHIT??

[jcwgarrett]

You're gay if you buy this

[MrSanchez306]

@jcwgarrett Why does it make people who buy these gay? Lol

[halogod7893]

@jcwgarrett what does sexual orientation have to with this? >.>

[ChaosEndMaster]

Mine! Mine! Mine! I'll take the Black Fusion please.

[anguskahn22]

These look so sexy.

[TheMesterBlester]

this is what happends when people run out of ideas....

[AbelmetaL2112]

I still like my MvC2 Madcatz TE sick better :3

[BrandonC3]

So wait... why is the PS3 version compatible with the PC version and not the Xbox 360 version. Seems like it would be the other way around, seeing as the Xbox 360 controllers work seamlessly with the PC meanwhile the Playstation 3 controllers need a little extra work.

Kind of ironic, don't you think? I smell marketing scheme.

[tayj2]

omg...i want one....

[MaleBosszz]

I rated this 'cute' lol

[GamersMedia100]

ohh yes i got a skyrim add.

[Kilju2]

When did Destin start working here?

[crysomemore1]

Ill stick to my HORI V3 SA

Dat sanwa parts 

[sexyfishproductions]

Dude, the fusion is a complete rip-off of the qanba q4raf that I have. They didn't even bother in changing the panels that have 'qanba' labelled all over them. Also, I'm sure the 360 one will work with most modern PC fighting games that have the option of using a wired 360 controller.

[DestinRL]

@sexyfishproductions they're working together with Qanba. Do a touch of research before flying off the handle maybe?

[MultiRandomable]

is the stick a 4 way or an 8 way

[OMGaNINJA94]

Why Is the Xbox version more expensive it has lss capabilities..... Stupid....

[Eboogie92]

who else thought he said "this dick" at 0:16

[ISPTOOPI]

@Eboogie92 No i was too distracted when he said "a nice felt bottom"

[nathan33445]

no fps? just asking

[ANinja11]

Now why the hell they would make the PS3 (which is basic Black) stick white and the 360 (which is basic White) stick Black? Wtf, how assbackwards is that?

[calmdude101]

@ANinja11 because its from fucking JAPAN, everything's backwards there

[yibuu2]

@ANinja11 you can mod the shit out of it bro

[cpblog500]

030 fail

[ArmandoQuezada95]

Screwattack>IGN

[goofeewalden1]

This thing is way too expensive. A controller shouldn't cost half the price of the console itself.

[Mitsukakex]

....but can you use it to play cosmic carnage on the vectrix?

[joaovictor1994]

@Mitsukakex If Lord Karnage says so, then yes.

[mcrenren2]

O_______o

[silverfang1122]

teh one form razer is better

[gandop2]

@vespers119 It's an antique(made better now in 21st century) like a 60's Beatle car. But your right it's stupidly expensive :D

[That1sushidude]

@vespers119 Cause its a quality joystick. Ignorant people like you that don't play fighting games like street fighter wouldn't know. Im not saying 160 dollars is cheap either.

[rickyjshiznit]

@vespers119 playing fighting games with a controller sucks ass.

[Decko45]

@vespers119 Don't be ignorant. Have some knowledge before hating.

[SPiDAAMuNKy]

@vespers119 Im guessing u dont play fighting games...?

[Angels4Nives]

@vespers119 Fighting games noob comment>.<

[DSlayerZX]

@vespers119 never got to upper level gameplay of fighting game did you?

[MrGuy359]

@vespers119 I upvoted because I want to know what smart people have to say about such a dumb comment ^^

[Leflonen]

@vespers119 Why is it so expensive? Because playing fighting games without an arcade stick is like fapping without lube, Not as fun.

[jerfimuzumaki]

@vespers119 90's...
