    Anyone else have issues playing games with a virtual joystick/d-pad?

    I'm not complaining, I can't think of a better control scheme, but I've got some fat friggin' fingers, and sometimes it can be a pain in the ass trying to play games that require precise controls.

    Take Across Age, for example. I have a helluva time with that because you need to move your character in a specific way to kill enemies.

    I haven't even touched arcade shooters or fighting games, I'd expect that would be hell.

    Anyone else have similar obstacles? What do you do about it?

    I actually have no problem with Virtual joysticks/d-pads if they work properly and responsively such as in games like NOVA or Minigore or Guerilla Bob and such.

    I think they work just fine.

    I have the same problems, I'm still new to this, so maybe it's a learning curve thing, but the vitual joystick never seems to work well with my thumbs.

    I have issues with a lot of games too. I think it takes practice...I hope. My bro is mailing me some Fling virtual analog sticks as a birthday present. I was hesitant to buy them, but was hoping they were good. Guess I will find out soon. Maybe that will help with my control problems with Aralon.

    No problems for me. Most FPS's and dual stick shooters work perfectly. Maybe try an iPad?
