Analog useful?

Does anyone actually use the analog stick over the d-pad for any games? I've yet to use it as I find it pretty hard to control, even the position of it is uncomfortable to use, so the d-pad has always been my main control. Probabaly will be the same on Vita.

I prefer the d-pad but for some things it makes you use the stick... which I don't like.

UMDs I use the analog, downloaded games I use the d-pad.

Depends on the gamesyam32245340

exactly. On Ace Combat, you HAVE to use the analog. and games like Crash Bandicoot (psOne classic) you can set it for either one OR the other.

With some driving games the analog is too sensitive, but in others it works great.

Depends on the game. However the game i play on my psp happens to be disgaea or persona 3 portable, where i use the d-pad more. Feels akward to roll ya thumb for hours.

I use whatever the game requires, I guess. My fingers do tend to drift to the d-pad though when there's an option. It makes it frustrating when I'm playing a game that requires the analog since sometimes I'll wind up w/ my fingers off the proper controls.

Well I've yet to come across a game that makes you use the analog stick only. I would assume GoW lacks D-pad controls?

Depends on the game. Turn based RPGs or 2d side scrollers it's D-pad all the way. 3D world enviornment in games like Ratchet & Clank or God of War it's definitely the analogue stick.

Basically I use the analue stick for any game that requires variable direction/speed. D-pads on/off controls are great for Ultimate Ghosts and Goblins or Tactic's Ogre though.

Games like God of War and Ace combat require you to use the analog stick for movement and the d-pad for other things (like switching weapons for example)
