Stick quality wasn't a thing to you when you were a kid. I tried to like the N64 controller and its little stick, and I just couldn't. It was absolutely atrocious.

They probably aren't soft/race compound, just regular high-mileage rubber. So, probably super cheap, especially even compared to a single car or truck tire.

If you know a lot about weaponry (which a lot of gamers honestly don't), you'd know having an optic tied to a visor is not at all like having an ideal aiming or firing platform or position.

BF actually looked to be extremely substantial in competitive gaming in its early iterations; not that it is anymore, just noting for the benefit of anyone who wasn't around for it.

It was terrible. The only ones who remember it being good were the kids who didn't have access to better consoles or who drank heavily from the Nintendo koolaid bowl.

Sega had an analog stick (on a home console) before Nintendo, though, Sonic. You should remember that, one of your games was the first to support it.

Hey man, I was confused by what you wrote at first as well. In fact, I thought you were dumb, and it took me four reads of your other reply further down to get what you were saying.
