My thumb is riddled with arthritis.

Since there are no cars and bikes have become the dominant form of transportation, couldn't they have raised the tapping requirement to accelerate by a vehicle? Running's fine since I hardly ever do it, but the skateboard should have been left with the tapping as it is and bikes should've been given the holding option, like cars. Everything requires frantic tapping to speed up. My thumb is going to fall off tomorrow, I can feel it.

I think the controls are fine, maybe you should stop playing videogames for awhile.

They took it cause it's the same way as in GTA:SA and why don't you just drive the go-kart?

Go-karts piss me off, I always accidentally press the stick in when turning sharp corners and the camera reverses. Couldn't they have left the reverse camera control on the right analog?

Well then, have you ever played GTA? You get used to the tapping after playing for a while.

GTA: SA also put in the stamina system, which they didn't place in Bully. It gave you time to rest your thumbs between sprints.

I guess there always has to be a consequence to a decision.

Till now, the only game that busted my fingers was Street Fighter Alpha, cuz some of those combos are pretty hard to do.

Didn't knew that the turbo button could be used for running, i hope that's the case cuz i have a PS2 gamepad (which i never use cuz it's too big) that has a turbo button.

What's the turbo button? I saw it on a PS1 controller once.
