I generally don't like fps, but enjoyed KZ2 (not much KZ3) and though KZSF was good enough. Perhaps it was due to the story.

I AM with you on this , bought it and everything i was thinking was " i want to finish it hope the story is short cause this is Boring as fuck and kid is annoying..." Dropped it, picked it again last week and Boy this game is overhyped as fuck. I just want this franchise to fucking end already and Sony santa monica moves on ...

You all seem to forget how ridiculously overhyped Destiny, Watch Dogs and Titanfall were back then in 2014. I literally mean the most absurd overhyping I've ever seen so far in my life. I know that some time has passed and a lot may not remember at all but good lord those games were overhyped. Maybe it was because at that time the new generation consoles were not even a year old and everything looked promising.

To sumarize everything: Ubisoft sold WD as the GTA V killer with all that hacking stuff and the most advanced graphics ever. The game didn't look good at all.

Bungie sold Destiny as the game that would forever change FPS and when the game released they kept the review embargo one week longer so sales wouldn't be affected. Reviews came out like 5 days later and were mostly 6s and 7s.

Titanfall was good but was sold also as a genre re-definer and ended being another shooter of the bunch (of good shooters).

From what I remember the infinite ammo and the like works similar to the previous uncharted games you can only use them on the difficult you have already beaten. The only "cheat" I used was on the last boss to do a "flaweless" fight required for one trophy (that was on chapter select, easy, after doing everything else on the game).

But if there was differences between versions that is bizarre (perhaps that had to do with updates and the digital it already being installed while the retail you could ignore).

That it isn't pratical to not be able to use analog stick and the d-pad "at once" like we do with any controller today.

What's not practical about it?  All the d-pad does in most modern 3D games is provide an extra set of buttons.  A nice luxury to have, but hardly a necessity.

Especially back in the 90s.  My experience with the DualShock on the original Playstation was that the movement controls were generally cloned to both the analog stick and d-pad anyway.  I'm sure a few games took advantage of both, but for the most part it didn't even make a difference for most of the generation.

I can't recall that many games that even utilized the d-pad, let alone required use of the d-pad and analog stick at the same time.. Either way, I wouldn't be surprised if the inclusion of the d-pad on the n-64 controller was just nintendo hedging their bets, in case the analog stick wouldn't be well received, or if 2D-games happened to remain popular.

The "hold your controller sideways but then awkwardly let go of one hand to hold it vertically to use the pointer" controls were decent?!
