Why they are still putting this thing on controllers?

Joysticks suck for 2D segments

2D games

/thread

Never used the analog stick. Not even for racing games.

Found the Nintendcuck

Pretty sure Nintendo is putting d pads on it's controller too sonygger

It's best for navigating menus and most 2D games.

>not as random or imprecise as an analog stick
>a more elegant control pad for a more civilized age

Trying to navigate a menu with an analog stick is borderline impossible and that's still 95% of the gameplay of a JRPG.

Fucking owns for fighting games.

I can do HC, QC, and DP all with a flick of my thumb.

Where have you been?

>Why they are still putting this thing on controllers?
Because of the fact that 2D games and fighting games are still a thing and menus are much more easily navigated.

?

Have any of you guys tried playing a 2D game with the thumbstick? Is it even tolerable to play with it?

2D shit

only niggers use joysticks

4 buttons to slap your weapon change or whatever.

>have to buy the pro controller if you want a d-pad
Fuck nintendo, I've been a fan of them since the original gameboy but this is just jew levels of greedy.

Dumbass.

BTFO

how the fuck are you supposed to use this tiny ass d-pad

its a hilarious maymay

the "d pad" are the directional buttons on the left, the + shaped one is just a continuation of the +/- start/select buttons theyve been using since the wiimote

That is supposed to be plus and minus morons. Get over it Nintencucks. Your precious company decided to jew you guys as said here

Works great for twin stick shooters

Yes goy, if you want a functional d pad buy our brand new controller that defeats the main purpose of your brand new console, only 59.99!

It's a joke.

Joysticks suck for anything 2D, including menus.

Want best example? Try playing the PC port of FF7 without using Xpadder or custom button setup in drivers, because by default the menus can only be used with analog stick.
Shit pissed me off in literally less than a minute.

really niggers? your excuses are 2D games? are you living in the 20th century?
what good 2D games ps4 and xbone have?

ProTip: The leftside [up] [down] [left] [right] will most likely function as a D-pad frequently.

>it's a "Nintendo ships the console with a shit controller and makes you pay 60 bucks for a good one" episode
this is the 3rd fucking time

Don't try to save face now you Nintendobabies. Your company is jewing you fucks really hard. The dpad should be on the portable console. Not force you to have to buy another controller. That is bullshit. Nobody is going to play with their friends using those tiny ass little handles. How the fuck does that even work anyways when modern games use a lot of buttons? Nintendo is raping you fools hard and you people just love it.

>what good 2D games ps4 and xbone have

Not enough.

They should work on that, I think.

Guilty Gear Xrd Relevator

Bahahaha you fools will go to any length to defend this company. Get over yourselves. Those have the same exact function as the right side face buttons.

>Those have the same exact function as the right side face buttons

Until they are both plugged onto the screen, I bet.

>face buttons as a dpad

The worlds shittiest dpad of all time brought to you by Nintendo. You better hope that isn't the case.

>analog sucks for 2d

analog is better dipshits, dpads are fucking retarded, go play your snes and cry yourself to sleep grandpa

2d games suck in general only fucktards slurp up indie garbage

and before you reply with your favorite meme 2d trash just know i already think its shit

It worked for Sony, so why not?

>2d games suck in general only fucktards slurp up indie garbage

Found the 16 year old who started on PS2.

PS2 had some stellar 2D games though

Only 90s kids have souls am I right?

kys nostalgiacuck

I agree.

>kys nostalgiacuck

You first. I'll be right behind you.

Why would I kiss a nostalgiacuck?

meant that for

Still good for menu navigation, item selection, anything that doesn't require precision movement.

Tiny asian hands

Something these nostalgiafags don't realize is that objective improvements like analog over digital is not the same thing as game design choises which are quite subjective. They tend to bundle everything that they did back in the day into the same nostalgia filled shitblob.

Also stockholm syndrome.
