all because of xbox we have to use triggers to shoot. i'll never thank them!

Ummm...

DC was the first to use analog triggers for racing / shooting games.  Xbox controller was literally a DC controller with an extra set of face buttons and a second thumb stick... even the lettering sequence of the four face buttons is the same

I can understand the importance of analogue triggers before the second analogue stick became the norm and because theres no shoulder buttons on the dreamcast controller.

but now using triggers to drive instead of the right analogue stick or using them to shoot instead of the shoulder button is just making things unnecessarily complicated.

anyway, sony didnt opt for triggers on the ps3 because of dreamcast they did it because the xbox 360 had them.
