"You blind Ninty monkeys"

You think you're so smart with your nice new GameCubes. Happy with them are you? I know you are, you've told us enough times. Especially "Oooh, this controller is fantastic, it's much better than all the other controllers I've used".

Bollards.

Why can't you see it's exactly the same as the DualShock 2 but with less features? Let's run through this:

· D-pad - check
· Two analog sticks - check
· Four main buttons - check
· Shoulder buttons - check
· Rumble - nope
· Full analog on ALL buttons - nope
· 4 shoulder buttons - nope
· Analog sticks as sensitive as the DualShock 2 - nope
· Ability to drop for storeys and still work perfectly - nope

Excuse me if I'm wrong but surely if it's the SAME shape with the SAME layout but with less functions, that makes it worse? Oh no, sorry, I'm missing out the facts that it's purple and made by Nintendo, that automatically makes it far superior, I'm terribly sorry.

I dare any of you to prove to me that the GameCube controller is better than the DualShock 2 - and saying that "it's more comfortable" is a cop-out.

Well, to be honest RTCW has much better graphics than MGS2...

If that is what you are talking about.

Officially nothing on the PC beats MGS2 - and you are forgetting several key factors:

A PC is hardly lounge compatable
They're not the pincale of stability
They have horrific control systems
They cost an absolute bomb.

The point is as well is that a PC will out do a console anyday so whatever console you have your PC is still faster ;0) P~

Too true, Jesus this thread's gonna catch up the WLT if it keeps going like this.

No way I'm going to read through all that but I assume somebody has mentioned that the GC pad does actually have rumble built in !

I cant be bothered to read behind anymore so can one of you tell me if you are still talking about the origional post or has Turbo gone on to talk about computers and all that hi-tech gizmo stuff?

How'd the tests go my geeky friend?

;)

No, it's an x86 processor. Comparing it to a P3 would be stupid, because it IS a P3.

485 to be precise.

Does it apply to the Xbox processor as well?

Aaaaaanyway... in summary...

I like the Gamecube pad. It's comfortable, functional and not too different from the DualShock.

But I prefer the DualShock, for reasons specific to me, which I've tried to outline throughout this thread.

Whatever anyone else thinks is therefore irrelevant, and I'm leaving this thread alone as of now.

Each to their own - enjoy your console.

Yes luke, very concise.
