Halo CE. And the controller layout, I still love the Duke.
Controller layout, and then later on achievements is what caught me. I can't stand the ps controller. Cramps my hands so much.
I remember mocking how ugly the controller looked (like an obese parody of the Dreamcast’s) but then I held it. As I large-handed person, it was so comfortable after years of Japanese pads designed for smaller hands. I just wish they still made the thing but with all the modern upgrades so I could use it with my PC.
Hyperkin makes Duke replicas that are detected as Xbox One gamepads. Only downside is they are not wireless.
I'm still convinced the person who chose the location of the sticks on the PS2's controller had never seen human hands before. Or at the very least, they weren't at all aware which direction our thumbs bend in.
Seriously. And for some insane reason they haven't changed it after all this time!
My cousin bought me a new USB Duke as a gift. It's awesome.
The controller, and Minecraft, I didn’t have a PC and back in the day it was only available on Xbox 360
