Should I buy a Viking?

[Fictionfan]

Hello everyone. For Christmas, I was thinking of buying a Viking controller. My clan is on Grand Theft Auto 4, where we have been fighting against many other clans who have rapid fire controllers, and I want to be able to fight back against them with a turbo of my own. I've been looking around at different websites and have been talking to different people, and they have told me that the Viking is the best (I was thinking of buying an Evil controller because of the pricing). I don't really plan on making too many macros and only plan to use the controller for GTA 4 if I buy it, and I want to make sure I'm getting my money's worth. For someone who wants to buy a controller only for the rapid fire, should I buy a Viking? I don't want to buy anything too complicated either, unless I have people out there willing to help me with it if I have any problems. I suppose all I want is some info before I decided to order. Thanks!

As an owner of the viking macro, i can tell you that it comes in handy for games in ways you might not normally think of. For example, people are constantly releasing more and more glitches every day for Call of Duty Black Ops.

However, if you're ONLY going to be playing GTA4, and just PURELY want rapidfire. Then the viking macro controller might not be for you. The viking controller is the best controller on the market for its ability to update at any time for free, because of its ability to record and create highly advanced macros with the included software, and its ability to be FULLY user customizable. It is the ONLY controller on the market that will let you do this.

You can obviously get a controller from another company designed specifically for GTA4 for around $80 or so, but it most likely wont have tact switches on the back(these are honestly a necessity in my opinion when it comes to modded controllers), you will never be able to customize it, or if you want rapidfire for another game, the speed probably wont be 100% as fast as the game will allow. Odds are GTA4 will get old at some point for you and you will want to move on. I may be wrong, and you may only want to play GTA4. If this is the case, i would recommend buying a cheaper controller designed for that. There is no reason to spend an extra $120 to only use about %1 of the controllers potential.

Think of the Viking Macro as the Rolls Royce of modded controllers: it's luxurious. Once you buy it, you will never have to buy another controller again, and you will always be able to update it to do whatever you need. Plus it has 6 tact buttons and 16 LED colors to choose from (i really enjoy these.)

Basically, you are getting what you pay for. And if you're not looking for much, then the Viking Macro controller might not be for you. I know that was a lot to read, but i hope it helped you out a little bit.

I am the owner/creator of Viking. I would hate to lose your business, but if you are only playing GTA4.... buying the Viking may be overkill. You can do just fine with other 'just rapidfire' controllers. Personally (in my opinion) GTA IV experiences so much game lag that limits the effectiveness of rapidfire in most places on the map... there is a lot of hype surrounding the use of turbo controllers on GTA IV. Most if not all of the videos you see online are either a.) the guy standing at the airport firing into the air or b.) the guy standing in a dark, small alleyway all by himeself firing down the alley... makes you wonder what the turbo's shoot like when you are in the heat of the action on a busy/laggy map with your XBOX 360 console's graphics card working overtime...

Thanks for talking us up Obo, by the way .

if your going to buy an evil keep in mind that if the game your playing gets patched the evil will no longer work(so most likely you will need to buy a new evil)..........a viking you buy only once.....so even if you only play one game it still nice to be able to update through the computer..
