Personally, I've never had either device hurt my fingers, with rare exceptions(Sony-brand PS1 d-pads spring to mind, as do TI-brand 99/4a joysticks).

The device that springs to mind that hurt my fingers would be would be the arcade stick. I hate having to arch my fingers in some claw-like manner to hit the buttons.

Most people I know just lay their hands flat ovver the buttons...

Personaly I can play with both, but I'd much rather use a controler, hurts my fingers less, meaning I can play longer.

On D-pad intensive games like sidescrollers, the Dual Shocks still destroy my thumbs. The downside of arcade sticks is that it costs a fair amount of money to get a decent one, and to most people it's just not worth it. On the other hand, a nice Sega Saturn controller for the PS2 costs about $30 and is probably the best balance.

I'm using the afore-mentioned Soul Caliber 2 stick.

Not the best stick ever, but good enough. I think I paid 20$ for it, admittedly not when it was new.

...

I still find the PS Saturn pad incredibly ironic.

Wonder if Siegfried is going to be back, Nightmare's SC2 ending had him find the Soul Calibur and become Siegfried again.

Don't know about that. I thought he lived in Vegas with some other dude and did magic tricks with white tigers. :ph34r:

Were those the early days of time that never existed, because I honestly can't remember a time that teh PS2 graphics were ever "good."

Dreamcast games looked better than early PS2 games, and once the launch Gamecube and XBox games came out, well...

O_o ?

Both look good, but compared to Resident Evil 4 or Halo 2? Meh.

It's not fanboy whining, the PS2 is the inferior system. Period.

Does that make it bad? No. Do I own one? Yes. But in terms of graphics, it's the inferior system.
