I've been saying the same damn thing this whole time.
Quote:Shouldn't that be "he was right and not me", then, given that my opinion is that FPSes on consoles usually don't work? It's not one of my favorite genres and not one I play all that often, so I'm not very good at them, and I can see a big difference between aiming on consoles and on PC... without autoaim hitting things in console FPSes is useless, while on PC autoaim would be a stupid thing to put in an FPS if you wanted it to be any fun at all... (one reason why Halo PC is supposedly much easier on PC (for people who actually play those games): you can actually hit things now! :))
I meant what I said. You're both right in a sense. Some games are better suited for the different platforms. I used Halo as an example because of the autoaim; it really helps and with time you can get really good. I haven't played it in a while now, but I used to be able to go through entire levels scoring head shots all around. It just takes practice. I suppose turning off auto aim is an option (never looked), but I imagine the same holds true that if you want to get good at it then all it takes is practice.
Quote:I own very few FPSes, and that's because of lack of interest mostly... the only true console FPS I have is PD; Metroid Prime (1) doesn't count, though my lack of FPS skills certainly does carry over into that game... so hard...
Anyway, they can be tolerable on consoles, but they can never begin to compare to the control you get from a keyboard and mouse.
It depends how much control you need. If you need lightning quick reflexes to survive, then I'd say the kb+m is the better choice. Console FPS play a bit slower though, but they're no less fun if done right (Half-Life 2, Halo, Halo 2, Doom 3, and Unreal Championship 2 are excellent on the console, imo. They all work better than fine).
Quote:Oh yeah, and of course, the Revolution will supposedly change all this... we'll see. :)
Yeah, we'll see.
Jak 3 : Jet Set Radio Future : Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee : Final Fantasy XII : Shadow of the Colossus : more to come...
