i was 28 when i still didnt know it
Wait what? I haven’t played playstation for 20 years or so, but didn’t it have only 2 buttons at the back labeled L1, L2, R1, R2?
Clicking the analog sticks inwards presses buttons which were labeled as L3 and R3 respectively, but not visibly.
It was/is a common trend to bind sprint in games to L3, which I hate to this day.
L3 is clicking the left analog stick into the stem like a button, and R3 is clicking the right stick.
There was one mission in GTA 3 where you had to honk your horn outside of someone’s apartment and I just had absolutely no idea that there were L3 or R3 buttons on a PS2 controller. Hardstuck for days.
Remember you had to ask a person when you were stuck in a game? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
When I was a teen, I had a friend call me on the phone one Friday evening to help him beat a Donkey Kong Country level because he knew I had the Nintendo Player’s Guide.
We spent 30 minutes troubleshooting that shit. One of my best experiences as a child.
