Ray Jones Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 i rember the neGcon controller for psx. that was a cool one. it had no sticks but you could turn it in the centre and id had analogue buttons. teh best controller ever for games like wipeout or ridge racer. when i first time played the n64 controller it was totally spoot like crap. but after playing diddy kong racing and mario kart 64 i somewhat got used to the n64 controller. but like edlib said, those "thumbsticks" are quite difficult to handle in the big rush. and err yes, i never played any starwars game.

Lynk Former Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Oh the n64 had a hidden secret though my friend. It was the perfect controller to play first person shooters with. Use the C buttons to move and the analogue stick to look and the Z trigger to shoot and you've already got your basic setup happenin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 The N64's controller had my favorite thumb stick of all time. It was very well placed...I liked it compared to the newer ones(especiallly the horrible ones on the PS2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfnshannon Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I had sooo many blisters from that damn joystick!!!!! Memories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 You wanna talk about blisters... The d-pad on those old NES controllers could really tear up your thumbs by the end of SMB3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Yup I hated that damn controller too...RECTANGLE. What an awesome idea! Sharp corner hitting imbetween your index finger and your thumb...and those A&B combos...ack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuicidalXWing Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 FPS are not for consoles period, the N64 controller sucks for FPS as well. When I first used a playstation controller, I was getting hand cramps cause of its design. The best controller was the SNES controller. XBOX still has by far the worst design ever. It's like a giant keyboard for your hands, speaking of which, I want to get a keyboard for my PS2. GC's controller is kind of annoying, weird button placement, but its ok for some games.

Nute Gunray Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 What kind of dainty little girl hands do you people have it the xbox controller is too big? The GC controller is like a ****ing play skool toy. Its feels like i'm using a credit card for a controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 It's BAD having small...er..."dainty girl hands"?! Also: Seriously. Originally posted by SuicidalXWing FPS are not for consoles period I submit "Halo" on X-Box as counter-evidence. Lynk: Yes, yes I am. Your point?

lukeiamyourdad Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Halo may have been the best console shooter, it's not the best PC shooter IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuicidalXWing Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 GC is a small controller, that's why i hate it, and I haven't seen the newer XBox controller, the original was terrible. I played Halo on XBOX with that controller. God, movement sucks for that game. I prefer my mouse, cause it actually moves like a reflex, rather than like I'm taking some f*cking drugs. Mouselook all the way. ...remember when you could look everywhere like in Wolf3d, the first FPS....ah, those were the days, we lived off of such pixelated graphics..... *goes off into his own little world* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
