The GameCube was great, even with the lovely c-stick

the d-pad was nothing to write home about either but the general feel of that controller was so money. it was genius to make the A button much larger and central with the B, X and Y buttons sort of "orbiting" it. more controllers should recognize that most games are gonna have one button you press a lot more than the others imo

They're great for most games, but it was a pain in the rear end to do certain moves on Soul Caliber 2 with them. I straight up can't play smash bros without those face buttons. I wish the analog+digital triggers became standard because those were nifty, although I can't remember using the digital buttons for anything except for Luigi's mansion.

basck buttons were analog too so should've switchied controls to them. dunno if gt3 would let u use the triggers like that tho but would be weird if they turned offif the analog controls if u switched buttons

The lovely Z-Button and the lack of an equivalent on the other side didn't help either, especially on cross-platform stuff

Doing first-party wireless properly was one of the best things about the Gamecube's controller.

I think I'm burned out on Prison Architect, what else should I play in a similar vein? I bought Rimworld but that game means it when it says alpha so I think I'm going to hold off until it's really released.

Edit: Mac support is a bonus.

I need to get a GameCube again so I can play Metroid Prime with the OG controls...it's a perfect game and the controller works flawlessly with it, even somewhat unintentionally with the A/Y mashing for quick missiles being super easy on a GC controller because of button placement

Jfc PC Batman, just stop

We asked Digital Foundry to take a quick look at the game as it stands - the results suggest that Batman: Arkham Knight today has seen no further improvements from its interim patch back in September.

The only noticeable changes were the addition of support for add-on and season pass content.
