RE: Console Vs PC  

Whenever I have a choice, I would choose PC over console anyday. Well, almost any day. Ok, only some days. I like PC the best, but there are just some things that work better on the console than PC. IMO shooters are not one of them. Gimme a mouse/keyboard combo any day over a controller, and no, I don't wanna have to try to sit on my living room floor and try to WASD someone to death with a keyboard attached to my console. :)

I've never played an online RPG on a console before, but IMO again, that's one thing that is better done on the PC too.

RE: Console Vs PC  

I personally hate console games. I have never been any good at getting that pesky controler to do what I want it to do. I know how to move a mouse around and work a keyboard though *grin*

RE: Console Vs PC  

I grew up on consoles and moved to PC's for competition.

Basically RTS, FPS, and MMORPG (actually most MMO's where you need to type) are better on PC's. Having keyboard/mouse combos for consoles makes things work better in certain cases, but then there's other factors that come into play that could be debated forever.

RE: Console Vs PC  

Yes one certain topic that is always under debate is whether or not it's easier to "snipe" with a mouse or controller. Personally i suck with a mouse, unless it's RTS, but in a FPS personally i lean towards the controller. Buts thats only because i suck with a mouse lol.

RE: Console Vs PC  

The PC is going to be my choice for Huxley. It's better for FPS games in my opinion and will work better for the MMO side as well. Anyways, I seem to be bad at console FPSs.

RE: Console Vs PC  

Yea justice you should probably stick with the system you feel most comfortable playing FPS on. And for you playing on PC would be the better choice, but me im all about the 360.

RE: Console Vs PC  

I will most likely get it for 360 because I have never played a FPS on PC. I've been playing FPSs on consols with joy sticks since Goldeneye back in the day and have since logged many FPS hours on consols. I have to agree that PC would be better for the MMO part but a keyboard pluged into your 360 is pretty much the same.

Go with what you're comfortable with and have fun ^^

lol, now you're making me feel old. "Back in the day" was playing Lode Runner on my dad's Apple IIe, or Wolfenstein 3D when it first came out...

Consoles? Duck Hunt on NES, now that was back in the day. :)

RE: Console Vs PC  

I think I will be going PC, for one I don't have a Xbox 360 and I like the PC controls better for shooters than console controls.
