To be fair, the controls do suck. :lol:

In his defence i also find playing fps games difficult without a mouse.

Dual analog blows. The Dreamcast controller is one of the best of all time.

Everybody has their own opinion... but I seriously hope that was typed in jest.

Just bought a tub of MagicTime Cheese Balls. Goddammit that shit is nasty!... There's hardly any taste, and what I tasted tasted like shit. On top of that my fingers look like carrots now. I'm sure that yellow 5 and yellow 6 in the ingredients list is responsible for that. Must be one of the worst US export product, ever... :x

I think it is one of the best, right here with the Gamecube controller. On the very least, it's better than the SNES/PS2 template

I just can't fathom how anybody could like the Dreamcast controller. It's nearly as bad as the N64 pad in my honest opinion.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.

I've always found the DC controller rather wonky and uncomfortable.

I loved dual analog on the gamecube controller. Hell I love the gamecube controller in general. Everything about it is designed to be instantly recognizable by touch, and barring anything depending on that puny d-pad, it works beautifully.

I really think the n64 controller is underrated. Outside of that stick that's always breaking and the fact that it looks freakish, it's pretty comfy when you hold it in your hands.

I've never seen that brand here in the US.

Reminds me of a British guy my dad knew, who had never heard of Altoids until he came to the US.

Really? The DC is my overall favorite, being wired and lacking dual analogs are the only problem... and hey, it's better than having a single one and an abomination that can't be used for anything... GC's C-Stick, I'm looking at you.
