Dragon Quest VIII Slime Controller - VGF

Codiekitty · 12-03-2005, 08:15 PM

It's nowhere near as uncomfortable as it looks. In fact, I finally beat the second boss of Gun.Smoke on Capcom Classics Collection while using it. I'm not saying that it's because of the Slime controller that I beat him, I'm just saying that it didn't affect my play ability at all.

It takes a little getting used to, but what controller doesn't? And if you're comfortable with the PS2 controller, the adaption to the Slime shouldn't be more than two minutes.

I just saw a picture of that Controller, it looks dodgy.

Define "dodgy".

I think I mean "dodgy" as usual more than, what "dodgy" really means. (I guess discribing an item as "dodgy" is a bit of an English thing.)

So is describing something as "the dog's bullocks". We use "the cat's meow". Not only does it use cats which are vastly superior to dogs, it's also not as dirty.

At least now I know that's a British term and have access to my British dictionary. Why I have one is a long story.

"Dodgy: Risky, uncertain, cautious"

I had some questions too (although I didn't flatout go "WTF?" like when I saw the Revolution Controller), but I was more intrigued that annoyed (again, unlike the Revolution controller). I preordered one, but decided to keep that one in the box, store for a while, then sell it on eBay, hopefully for a profit. I got a second one to play with. Frankly I'm quite happy with it.

Plus, unlike the Resident Evil 4 chainsaw it's Sony licensed, so it shouldn't hurt your system.

LOL, I haven't used the dog's bullocks in a long time, although you do know instead of a "u" you use a "o".

Saying that, I don't mind the Revolution Controller. It looks like the dog's bullocks. *coughs*

Ah, thanks.

By the way, I need to make an ammendment on my thoughts on the Slime. It's a pain in the butt to play a Fighter with. I tried Marvel vs. Capcom 2 with it, and was getting my ass handed to me.

See, this is what happens when you buy dodgy items.

Hey, it's also a pain in the butt to play a Fighter with the GCN controller (and I don't mean Smash Brothers, I mean Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO).

I hate the GCN controller anyway.
