A Black Falcon Wrote:PC vs. console is a stupid argument. Both are great. Both do things well. Saying that one is invariably better than the other is just ridiculous, and I mean that both ways (pc-console and console-pc)... people who deny whole categories of gaming without any kind of a good reason just don't make sense... okay, so you have limited time to play, etc. I understand that. But that isn't any justification for so stupidly go after PC games... (I know other people here also don't play PC games... again Stealth is a good example... but this goes for them too of course. :))
LOL
Again, and again, and again. I'm not arguing that PC games are bad. I'm just telling you I don't play them because [insert personal preferences I've given you].
If you're trying to draw me into a PC vs. Console debate it won't work, because I don't care.
Quote:This is 100% dependent on the kind of game you are playing. Starcraft on a gamepad is one of the most pointless things ever, for instance, and Rogue Squadron is in that same level of uselessness when played on keyboard... or even dpad-only gamepad...
OB1 had that stupid comeback about how FPSes worked on consoles because they have analog movement too, instead of digital, but as always I put a much higher importance on the actual ability to aim that you get with a mouse...
You and OB1 were entirely right. Halo works wonderfully on a console because it was built with a controller in mind. The same could be said for any other game that was developed with a console controller as part of the design. It works, I've played great FPS games on my Xbox. Ever play Unreal Championship 2 Lialandri Conflict? Great, great fps.
Quote:Given how awful they are on consoles, I couldn't sanely recommend it unless you play them on PC... great subgenre though, and my two favorite games of all time (Starcraft and Warcraft III) are part of it. :)
If I ever do get into PC gaming then I'll give them a shot. Although I'm a bit apprehensive given the stories I hear about people spending way too much time playing those kinds of games.
