Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers.

I was (and still am really) shit with analogue sticks. I got fairly good at playing Quake II on PlayStation with the lookup/lockdown mapped to L1 and R1. Same as the original Quake on PC, never really used +mouselook coming from Doom, just mapped them to buttons near the firing keys.
The dual-stick setup is much more intuitive though in fairness.
