Poll: First Person Shooters: Console or Pc?

[TheOneTrueMaster]

i hate using WASD to move

I hate WASD as well, so hard to move fluently

 

[MasterWhatever]

It is far much better on the PC I find, but thats just me. Don't get me wrong Consoles are great too.

 

[TheOneTrueMaster]

all in all i see the PC good for some FPS and Console good for others (i.e. CoD 4 for xbox 360 and Ghost Recon Advanced war fighter 2

Mouse look allows for more raw and faster gameplay so if you like slower paced games that take less twitch skill then console is great for FPS games.

Truer words were never spoken. *Is a complete console tard*

First Person Shooters were made to played on the PC, period. End of discussion. Playing an FPS on a console is akin to playing ice hockey without skates. Sure you can do it but it sucks and is only slightly more enjoyable than a trip to the dentist.

I do believe there are much more advantages to playing on a pc but the fact of the matter is that all those cool new games they come out with need some expensive hardware to play them and i don't know if you have money growing on a tree in your backyard but if your not willing to spend 700 to 1000 dollars on a computer a console is a pretty good substitute and you learn to live with the limitations. ( on a side note i do love the command prompt in games for computers)

Enough with the $700 to $1000 nonsense. The majority of people already own a modern (supporting PCI express) computer and it takes less than $150 to throw in a very capable graphics card and a memory upgrade to run anything out there right now with high settings, even Crysis. And these two upgrades will play anything that comes along for the next couple of years. PC gaming is actually a cheaper option than playing on a console and is even cheaper when you consider the price of the games which are $10 less by default and drop a lot faster.

another console vs. PC thread?

I haven't been here THAT long, but JESUS I've seen enough "console vs. PC for FPS" threads. And I also never ever do this, but....SEARCH BUTTON PLZTHX.

To contribute a little, PC is better, but only only ONLY if the framerate is good.

Well apparently im not apart of the majority and can just shell out 150 bucks when needed to upgrade the computer.At the moment I cant spare the cash right now since work is tight and im not having money constantly come at the end of every week or two weeks

The PC has CSS which is the most fun game I own so that one wins.

Well not everyone can just shell out 150 bucks when they need to upgrade their computer. I myself cant spare the cash right now since work is tight and im not having money constantly come at the end of every week or two weeks

But on a pc, you don't need new games as often... and you only get that one UBER game once a year that might require an upgrade. I've had a total of 2 PCs over about 8 years, with 0 upgrades unless you include driver updates. Hell, the last 2 games I actually bothered buying were Orange Box and WAR (neather requiring any hardware), which with recent updates means I'm still playing them quite happily.

I honestly don't see how or why anyone needs to upgrade a computer every other month?

 

[TheOneTrueMaster]

Yes new games do come out more often on consoles than PC but isn't that a good thing. With a new game coming out more often you get to experience something new and sometimes really good. Understandably there are some really bad games that were made and inevitably more to come but all the while most bad games are experiments and we need bad ones so to see how to try and make the coming games better


(This was probably very off topic buy i felt i needed to say it)

FPS has been the staple gaming genre of the PC for about the past 17 years It should be no surprise that PC FPS are of better quality.
Halo is a good console FPS but how many would rather play Halo 2 (pc version) than Half life

Same thing happens on the PC, but, instead of new games you get mods which are free.

 

[Willwillwritehiswill]

Is there really a debate here?

 

[sgtshock]

Of course the PC is better, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy a shooter on a console.

 

[L33tsauce_Marty]

i hate using WASD to move

I hate WASD as well, so hard to move fluently

I find it as easy as a gamepad.

 

[out0v0rder]

I'm glad to see poll results like this. It warms my heart, our gamers still have their minds in the right place.

 

[TZer0]

Removed.

 

[H.R.Shovenstuff]

Always PC.

 

[Abedeus]

How people can even think a console is superior?

Controls are worse, it has slower gameplay, less mods (can you mod a game on console, anyway? Except for those with in-built editors), worse online experience aaaand of course, usually some form of auto-aim exists to make it easier.

But usually, console FPS games ARE easier. That is, less challenging.

I mean - PC was the first gaming system with FPS games. Both 2D and 3D. Consoles had to wait till N64 and Golden Eye.

Get the most evil cramp in my hands when playing on a PC so I prefer a console for comfort, plus a big HDTV and comfy sofa helps too!
