I actually do. Might be because it was the controller I used the most and got used to it, I dunno.

And as I said, I have had a multitude of controllers, I know the differences pretty well.

i guess its a matter of taste then hey.

My confessions?

I stupidly sold Seaman w/mic

I've never played a Master System...

I jumped at the chance to purchase a fully working, dedicated Sonic Championship (Sonic the Fighters) arcade for...an undisclosed amount because I thought SEGA would never re-release it and then 6 months later heard they were releasing it on XBL and PSN for just $5, and it's an updated/upgraded version....   >:(

Here's another list of small confessions:

-Growing up playin' the Genesis, I never got the impression that Golden Axe was such a praised property;
-I actually called Robotnick, Mr. Walrus in Sonic 1, because I had no idea that the character was called Robotnick until the early AoSTH and I actually though that those suspenders where teeth.
-I never played any Phantasy Star game, except for 2 on an Genesis emulator, I only played The End of The Millenium game on PC via the SEGA Genesis Gold Collection;
-Despite feeling that Shining Force II was a better game overall, the story in Shining Force I was far more precise and focused;
-I bought and rebought a copy of Fable 2 at least three times before I actually played it;

When I first saw Robotnik as a kid, I thought he was a walrus also. Didn't stick long, but first time I saw him with the wrecking ball I thought he was a walrus.

Okay, here's some confessions....

1. I dislike most role-playing games. The very idea of turn-based combat is ridiculous to me. On top of that, I find random encounters intensely frustrating and ruin the sense of immersion. Further more, not a fan of elves, dwarves and fairies, since they seem to permeate throughout the genre....however, I do enjoy the original Phantasy Star and Panzer Dragoon Saga.

2. The Dreamcast is my least favorite SEGA console. Doesn't have as many games that I enjoy playing and the hardware's too problematic for my liking. Don't like the D-pad at all. It just pisses me off. The Genesis and Saturn (JP/3D) D-pad's were fantastic; then they just fucked it all up.

3. Don't like Halo. At all.

4. I once wrote a piece of slash fiction where Sonic and Knuckles beat the shit out of Bowzer, pay a visit to Princess Peach and "Eiffel Tower" her while Tails stands in a corner with his back facing the action. Sonic berates Tails mid-coitous, telling him that he'll never be worthy of the Chaos Emerald's greatness and that the best part of him ran down his mother's thigh. Tails then snaps like a dry twig and spins his tails so fast that he amputates Knuckles hands, then attacks Sonic. It's an epic battle reminiscent of Neo and Agent Smith in The Matrix Revolutions. In the end, Tails rips Sonic's head off, holds it high in the air and screams, "There can be only one!"

Needless to say, I never put it out there. *shrugs*

I'm starting to see the "appeal" to Fire Emblem, but I still think Valkyria Chronicles (the first one) does the perma death MUCH better....you have three turns to retrieve them or you hope the enemy doesn't run over your KO'd character.

I think Advance Wars is better of the two games but the franchise overall is repetitive (it's good for "one" game I believe, but not a series). So Fire Emblem is probably better in terms of being relevant.

Whilst I am on this confession, I ended up LIKING Radiant Dawn despite being one of the hardest FE games (apparently the SNES games are harder if only for certain weapons being required in certain missions) I have ever played!

I actually don't like some of Nintendo's ideas of the 3DS...some ideas work but things like Streetpass are not futureproof, nor does it work for people who live in a country with hardly anyone who brings their 3DS with them.
Big fan of Claymore, Miria in particular.

Currently playing Yakuza 0.

Another big confession:

I never really cared for any of the Ecco The Dolphin games and I am terrified of the sharks in Defender of The Future.

I never understood the point of playing a fish that isn't even a fish.

glad u started about that
well u need to orientate there big time plus the enemies arent that easy always. u need to find out which fish is poisoned and which not.  this game is an advanced game which is requiring the intelect of the brain in a way that is not described in the book.

u may be a grammar gangsta
well that wont help u
u may be a mathematical geek
that wont help u orientate

this game is underwater im talking only about the dc version
and u need to adapt the whole idea of being a dolphin underwater and u are forced to learn ur way trough and not getting lost. yes the sharks are scary and they will always be.
but dude when u come really far ull understand.

there is always that pressure that u need air once in a while

i wont take u for crackdandy which is basically an asslicker of barry the nomad sorry to say im not good in hiding my feelings. barry never asked for an asslicker that tries to lick the anus so hard that he basically wants to be a moderator like barry
but crackdude would mostlikely fit more in the title moderetard

this game is hard. but when u beat it. then beat me ;)
its a good game for sure and u should reconsider playing it

I think buried inside all that nonsense you are insulting Crackdude.  He's pretty easy going, but if that were me I would be angry.

'Kay, here's another confession:

I understand why Halo is such a popular franchise, specially the very first one on Xbox. But truth be told, my first experience with the original title was just terrible and that is why I don't like the game!
