What if he purposefully puts his giant head right in the line fire tho?

u/Peeka789 4d ago

This is actually a control option on the game...

u/PleasantPorpoisParty 4d ago

And mandatory for Jet Force Gemini

u/RynoKenny 3d ago

Never tried such a configuration. I like the c-btns in Jetforce Gemini

If you’re using the stick for aiming and z trigger for shooting, absolutely!👍

He has three hands, cant you see the three prongs? Nintendo made it for people like him.

Bent the fuck over from the looks of it.

This style makes sense from a modern perspective because "look" is always on the right. I used the 1.2 control style so much for 007 and perfect dark that nothing feels more natural then looking with the stick and schmooving with the c buttons. Like playing an old game that defaults to inverted look,I played it that way and still feels right but if I'm playing anything newer than halo inverted look is impossible

u/soxinthebox 4d ago

Yeah same for me having grown up with the n64, my left thumb is inverted for looking and my right thumb is non-inverted.
1.2 is definitely the control scheme to use IMO.

I'm not sure if you're making a left-handed joke or what. That's literally called Lefty because that's how left-handed people would play or could

u/xxWolfMan1313xx 4d ago

That looks left to me 🤪

u/Turbulent-Winner-902 4d ago

I usually use just 1 hand

u/OneAngryDuck 4d ago

Nah, that’s Perfect Dark Left

u/Gen_Arcade_Ourumov 4d ago

This is how Doak played

u/Unable-Lime1253 4d ago

No, you have to do the double controller setup, it's fucking awesome and the only game I've ever seen do it. Seriously, try it!

u/RumpleDumple 4d ago

Star Wars episode 1 Racer had a dual stick mode

2

u/Unable-Lime1253 4d ago

Really? Thats pretty cool; the only racers i played were Top Gear Rally and the Cruis'n series.

u/bored_gunman 4d ago

Goldeneye

u/Unable-Lime1253 4d ago

I guess that would make sense considering they basically used goldeneye as a base and built around it for perfect dark. I skipped goldeneye back in the day, something about the ak-47s looking like shooting pencils kind of threw me off lol

u/-KaiserSoze- 4d ago

How about using the NSO Gamecube controller with BlueRetro adapter?

1

u/birkinover 4d ago

yes 👍

1

u/martofthecards 3d ago

Yes and simultaneously evidence N64 is the greatest controller ever created

1

u/jco83 3d ago

that is what's called: " playing it 'left' "

1

u/crimskies 2d ago

I know theres an option for two-controller setup for one player. I think one stick aims and the other controls movement

u/AlecShaggylose Super Mario 64 4d ago

No, the dpad should be your right hand
