>"HURRR GAMECUBE DPAD BAD DURR">its the exact same dpad as the gba>literally no one complained about it thereCurious
because it does suck. and anyone that's played resident evil knows it to be true.
>>11414082>2024>HURR DURR
What makes a D Pad good or bad anyway? I never play fighting games so I wouldn't know.
>>11414082I don't mind the dpad, but the triggers are absolute horseshit, will make any FPS hurt your fingers, and I have no idea why people like them so much.
>>11414082its this mess that puts me off. dpad does feel like shit though, but its not as bad as the xbox 360 controller
>>11414256Makes perfect sense to me.
The GCN controller is much bigger than the GBA for one, also the D-pad isn't recessed on the GBA. It's also way too centered, should have been more to the left or higher up.
>>11414271This, OP BTFO. I'm a GCfag too but the dpad is terribad.
>>11414140CURRENT YEAR
I don't really like the GBA's dpad either desu
>>11414170I don't play fighting games either but my test for what makes a good dpad is to play Super Mario Bros 2. A bad dpad will make that game awful to play because you will easily fall off the vines.
>>11414082Yeah, the GameCube's d-pad is bad. It's definitely way too small.
>>11414082It's bad and it's awkward to use with the rest of the controller.
>>11414082>>its the exact same dpad as the gbaThat's a lie. If you think this you're admitting you've never used it. Tendies even need to lie about their own consoles they claim to be fans of.
>>11414462>erm ackshully the underside is differentPeak aspie behavior.
>>11414489Yeah but he's the Alpha Aspie here, so sit down you little normalfag.
>>11414462I was sure they at least recycled the mold because it's such a cheap shitty afterthought
>>11414269Indeed. 10/10 design.
>>11414462>um actually despite the directions being exactly the same, its a completely different dpad cause of the bottom part that no one sees or interacts with!
>>11414082it doesn't feel anything like the GBA, and it's smaller
>>11414572>despite the directions being exactly the same>the directions make it the same
>>11414082people don't like the gamecube dpad? what the fuck, it's one of the best dpads I've ever used on a controller. I've been playing various consoles since the early 90s. That's a lot of controllers. Gamecube is among the better of the dpads.
>>11414615Dreamcast blows it out of the water, the only thing it beats out is Sony's complete failure of a d-pad that they STILL try to market.
>>11414082It feels totally different. I don't know if the underside being different is why. I always assumed the membrane was different. The texture of it is also different.It looks the same but that's it.
>>11414885It felt more like a compact way to fit 4 extra buttons than a d-pad.
>>11414885Just tried out each and I agree with this.GameCube dpad feels insanely mushy compared to the GBA dpad.
>>11414082why do you need your d pad to be good? its only for taunts.
>>11414082The GBA dpad isn't recessed and doesn't demand turning your thumb 90 degrees to use it
>>11414082It's stiff and in a poor position, and it's small. Being recessed into the case doesn't help either. I haven't used a GBA in ages but I remember the D pad being stiff.
>>11415095>It's stiff and in a poor position, and it's small.same but my penis
>>11415112>Being recessed into the case doesn't help either
Though they have a similar outward appearance, internally the GC's dpad is much taller than the GBA's dpad in a way that takes more travel to press directions, like instead of pressing directly down on it it feels more like you're pulling it to the sides.
>>11415613This does have a massive impact on performance.
>>11415613Xbox 360 ass thing
>>11414256It may look weird, but it's extremely ergonomic and feels great to play if you get used to it.
>>11414082No one complained, they mocked both of them and their owners.
>>11415825>>11415613interesting, so it's similar in design to the 360 dpad
