This means they have usually no point to get used to analog sticks. After playing Mario Galaxy for 10 hours, I got used to Nintendo's octagonal stick quite well, but they don't do that at all.
The Wii games like Super Mario Galaxy 2 did help me to get used to the Nunchuk of the Wii.

So see, we're not that different after all. I wonder how much difference will lack of "octagon" bring though.

On the side note: every Pole rejoice, we're just 40 and 4 days to the release of RL.

I remember watching my cousin play Assassin's Creed II on a console - it's his first console game ever. Watching him clunkly handle a controller was quite interesting actually. When he tried to move the camera, he'd have to stop moving completely and move the joystick, only to shove it way to far in the wrong direction, and he had no coordination for the buttons in general.

On the topic of octagonal sticks, my first console was a Nintendo 64, so I actually had to take a short bit of time to get used to the circular controller of an Xbox/PlayStation.

Haha I remember learning how to control the camera and movement joystick at the same time from playing Halo 1 when I was younger. I remember the situation your cousin is in. I've had the Sega Mega Drive II (I think? - it's the one that's similar to the Genesis) since I was really little and almost simultaneously had the Nin64 for a short while; then I played some games on the PS1. Next, I had my Xbox, so I've almost 'always' been handling controllers.

Now you've got me all nostalgic about my time with those older video games again... I remember most of them quite well. *dreams on*

I can totally see myself as one of those grandpas that have stories upon stories that make no interconnecting sense at all.

I remember when I first saw the PS1, it was at one of my cousins, I don't know what was especially...special about it, nor what actually drew me to it.
But I do have some fond and...not-so-fond memories of events which occurred during our time with the PS1.

You know what's funny? I don't ever remember learning how to uuse a jooystick, it was just always there, much like playing a first-person shooter. My first FPS game was also Halo, and I vividly remember starting to play it after watching my brother do so (by the way, he beat Heroic using the laptop trackpad, God tell me how).

The first time I used an analog stick was in a PlayStation 1, I thought it was pretty cool at the time. :)

A friend received that Email from Micromania. If we reserve the game in this store, we get a collector steelbook of Rayman Legends.
That's great. BTW I just analyzed the cover a bit. Take a look at the back and you'll see this giant... toad or something. Could possibly be a boss. Or something.
Yes I noticed that too. He will probably be the boss a the end of the "Toad Story" world.

Moreover, I noticed a resemblance with Jabba the Hutt, no?
Maybe a wink from ubisoft.

Are you sure? I didn't know there were any PS1 controllers that didn't use D-Pads.

Oh, D-Pads ... why am I nostalgicising all the time?! Snap out of it!

Oh, yeah, Rayman Legends. Cool stuff. Move on.

Rephrased: are you sure you've used an analog stick on the PS1? I didn't think there were any controllers with an analog stick instead of a D-Pad; i.e., I thought all PS1 controllers had only D-Pads.

Let me inform you, Shroob ;)
There were indeed PlayStation 1 controllers with analog sticks in addition to the D-pad: the first generation of DualShock controllers!

Oooh and I thought my massive white spamcontroller was special. It has controls to turn litterally any button combo into a turbo of those buttons. Spam attack ftw! :P

I don't believe you didn't know, Shrooblord. :o

Really, later models of PS1 started to bring the analog sticks, which are the very same ones I tried.

Just look:

'tis really weird to see people amazed at PSX controllers with analog sticks, that's how I was introduced to them (and to thumb-sticks in general)! I guess this shows how late we were on the uptake of getting a PlayStation (it was the Christmas of 1999 :P)

Only years later I had knowledge that the original PS1 controllers didn't have the analog stick.
