Videogames....

[Cry Havoc]

dude just like i told an old head i worked with the other day who plays WoW I told him i dont have a problem with PC games....but hooking it up to a 52in just isnt worth it, and then to play against other people on 2k or madden or any other game just wouldnt be the same....just take it as a majority or people that play sports games play on consoles....i mean i dont recall a madden tourney going down on PC....unless its in your house....dude when you guys were talking about video cards and how they helped or didnt help your game i didnt say ...cause i didnt care, just like i dont care about talking about linking up in your in your PC games either i just read it and move on....who ever started ing should just make another thread for PC games or what not. I dont care if this turns into the quatro thread im still going to try to set up if people want that...PC gamers being s was not meant literally unless I truly stuck a nerve that he didnt hit last night....and for that I apologize

Meltdown, aisle 2. Paging meltdown.

Btw, thanks for adhering strictly to the stereotype of the console-junkie. It makes you so much easier to categorize.

If you guys would just keep the number of posts down a bit, it might help a lot. There are PMs available on this board as well.

Youre a child. Enjoy your youth.

Here we go.......

I could've easily just named the thread Xbox 360, but I didn't want to discriminate. The PC talk and scheduling is kinda boring, but you don't have to read it. If you need to know about a specific game and can't be patient to read throught the thread, then like said above, go to a reviews site.

Fair enough. But I dont particularly remember having a hardware discussion. I am NOT saying it didint happen, I just seriously dont remember.

Regardless, my point wasnt to discriminate or create problems. But this online scheduling will go on for pages on end with 1 sentence dedicated to time.

You named the thread Videogames, which is all encompassing. I play both console and PC a uva lot. I am admittedly more prone to PC for various reasons but you dont see me jumping down someones throat about their console favoritism.

What the am I? 14....this is worthless to even discuss, I just realized that. nuff said.

P.S.: it does get annoying when someone brings up a console FPS and all we hear from certain posters is how better PC's are with FPS's. We get it, move on.

Fair. But at least its a discussion about the game, not a schedule for playing the game for 2 pages.

I resemble that remark.

Deeek!

"resemble"

That, my friend, is a Freudian slip.

I'm pretty sure he meant to say resemble. I've heard that said as a comedic jest at those who say, "I resent that remark."

So yeah. Bit o' sarcasm.

[leemajors]

i talked about video cards once.

I'm sure there are people who are console fanboys and some that are PC guys. Then there are people who don't give a , like me. The scheduling does take up space, but until a rule is agreed upon how to get a league/tourney together it'll continue.

It would be better, if one person would post a tentative time for a specific game and then people could respond by PM. Is that a good idea?

As far as the fighting goes, , play games, not consoles. I particulary don't like playing games on PC, too many updates, drivers, settings to mess with. I prefer just dropping a disc in the tray and playing.

If I seem inferior to you because of that, fine, but you don't have to regurgitate the same response whenever someone has the same opinion as I do.

We get it, you like pointing and clicking, we like using a controller. Neither is anywhere close to actually shooting a gun. We're both playing a ing game.

Excellent suggestion.

I like using both, actually, but for different things. I wouldn't use a controller to play an FPS on and I would NEVER use a keyboard and mouse for a fighting or a sports game.

Unless it has recoil, ejects a burning hot s casing, weighs at least 5 pounds, and makes a huge boom, it's not much closer to the real thing than a mouse or controller.

[Mixability]

Unless that thing kicks back, leaves residue on my hands and s s on the street, it's still a game.

I beat you.

Cry Havoc = Win

Danyo = FAIL

[CuckingFunt]

They do have light guns with recoil. They're kind of awesome in a silly way.

[Mixability]

How do you figure? Tapping a space bar and clicking on a mouse button is pretty close to firing a gun?

I'd much rather use that gun controller for a shooting game, if linked to a nunchuck for the wii instead of the standard 360 pad, it'd be awesome for a FPS.

[Mixability]

Since I really don't know. How is a FPS played on a PC. Do you just use the keyboard to move and click on enemies to shoot them?

W = Forward
A = Strafe Left
S = Backward
D = Strafe Right

Space = Jump
Shift = Walk/Run
Control = Crouch/Prone

Use mouse to move crosshairs.

Left Button = Fire
Right Button = Secondary Fire/Down the Sights View
Mouse Wheel = Scroll thru available weapons
Middle Mouse Button = Down the Sights View/Secondary Fire

and the attempt at levity fails.

[leemajors]

i remember the first time i typed +mouselook into the quake 1 console. never looked back. goldeneye had the best console fps controls imo, but the freedom just isn't there. also in addition to what DarkReign said, you can assign other keys to whatever - even specific weapons without scrolling through, which can be incredibly useful, like rocketing someone up in tf2 and shotgunning them in midair.

What? When have I ever "looked down" on someone for their gaming tastes? I never said someone is inferior because of their ing video game preference....

So I make the M+K > Gamepad remark. Big whoop. I am not guessing or making that up, its just true. Theres a reason they havent made a cross-platform game that allows both console and PC players on the same server. It just wouldnt be fair.

But I dont care if peeps want to play CoD4 on the 360. Its their money, their choice. I said that repeatedly as a semi-joke. Not a very funny one, I knew/know that. But a joke nonetheless.

If it makes everyone feel better, I am so out of practice in any FPS, I'd probably get owned by everyone here. I prefer strategy games and RTSs. Both of which do not exist on the console market (outside of Battle for Middle Earth). Dawn of War, Rome: Total War, Civ 4 BtS, Company of Heroes. Also like RPGs and extremely enjoying Mass Effect right now.

Wow, I guess it IS all about your own taste, because I couldn't see myself dealing with that kind of control scheme. I guess I just like to get away from the mouse and keyboard when I'm not at work. It seems like running and jumping while shooting would be a chore, at least if you're running at an angle. Because wouldn't you have to press W,A, space and move the mouse and click?

well you would orient yourself with the mouse and run in that direction, you don't have to run at an angle. strafing one way or the other is like sidestepping. once you get used to the scheme it's easy. something like strafe jumping is way more difficult.

[DannyT]

I beat you.

Cry Havoc = Win

Danyo = FAIL

so when are you guys to rematch and play again?

schedule a time....So we can see who wins

I got my money on Danyo...cause he is not on the PC hes on SPURSTALK through his 360 typing with a controller....

[DarkReign]

I grew up on console shooters like Goldeneye and Perfect Dark.

Never tried a FPS on PC until Soldier of Fortune 2.

Ill never play an FPS on a console if its available for PC again. The difference isnt slight or even gaping, its the Grand Canyon in terms of control and precision. But its a personal taste...PC gaming is dying a slow death, totally true. Console versions of the same game outsell the PC every time.

Just a matter of time before they make a mouse and keyboard (or similar) setup for the consoles, then there wont be an argument anymore.
