It seems counter-intuitive.

No games should have a pause button, Dark Souls has it right.

This is my signature, there are many others like it, but this one is mine.
If you take 110% of what I say seriously then you're gonna have a bad time.

You push Play on a tape cassette player to pause it. Same thing here.

I think every cassette player I've used had a Pause button.

I've only ever known of cassette players that have separate play and stop buttons. If I recall correctly, the play button locks in while playing, and the stop button releases it.

I know the topic was for a stupid pun, but what bugs me is all the games where you have to "Press Start" after loading up the game, before it takes you to the menu.
So fucking pointless.

I don't think I've ever vehemently disagreed with someone on here as much as I am right now.

What we really need is a button to pay respects.

I mean, there isn't really a start button anymore. Instead we have Menu, Options, and +.

Because having a "stop" or "pause" button AND a start button on a controller is one of the dumbest things I can think of.

The Atari 5200 controller had start, pause, and reset buttons.
