"Hello"

Hello, I'm back to post and stuff.

Do people still argue over consoles?

You can't attribute the lack of FPSs on the GC to the controller.
Fail.

I find the PS2 pad rubbish, the analouge sticks has a huge deadzone. I much prefer the Xbox and GC pads.

Yep, shame the N64 did them best the previous time around.

I did expect them to grab the FPS genre properly with the Dolphin.... but no. :(

Microsoft have the best online system and the Xbox is easiest to port from PC, the natural home of the FPS.

Hence the lack of FPS' on the system. You know Microsoft are the ones that do them best.

It's a hinderance to smooth movement though. If you wanted to arc a camera using it then you'd be restricted to a striahgt edged octagon and not a circle, which annoys me trying to play FPS games :-).

Unless his is chiselled to a point and he impales his thumb on it when he plays...

Can't say I've ever touched the PS2 d-pad my mistake either.

"Sharp-edged C-stick"? Do you mean the octagon around the stick? Becuase that's, like, the best design feature ever, you know. <3 for fighters.

No wrong. I had already read the reviews on Gamespot and IGN and knew exactly what the problems were, but no one in here was actually making any sort of explanation as to why those things make the game better on the Cube.

As for the situation with the pad, you couldn't be more wrong. Each pad has it's strenghts and weaknesses. I've never presed the d-pad on the PS2 pad by accident, so I don't know where you get that from.

The GC pad suits some games and not others. It's lack of a proper second analogue stick with that sharp cornered c-stick instead doesn't do it any favours.

I also find it slightly off putting to have my thumbs not symmetrical when playing games using both sticks, so again it's swings and roundabouts and differing preferences of individuals.

I'm selling my Cube. I really don't want to, but I need money. :*(

I sold my Xbox first though ^^ And I'll buy another one when I get some more cash, and play through all the classiqué games.

Boohoo, my poor Cube :(
