proud that you found a girlfriend who is also an excellent gamer, scared/ashamed that you all play shooters on a console...and a playstation at that.
Pish tosh. There is nothing wrong with FPSs on consoles. As someone who plays them on both, I prefer them on consoles as to PCs because I get better accuracy with my controller than I do my mouse.
I absolutely, intensely REFUSE to believe that. It might be possible that you have a lot more hours clocked with fpses on console and it feels that way...but with similar practice a mouse will win no matter what.

I wish it was possible to play for example Q2/3 or something like that on pc versus consoles so we could get a "victor" once and for all :|

Ok, so i was staying at my girlfriends place the other day and i was watching her play modern warfare 2 (ps3) against her brother.

Funny thing is she played way better than me, so the question is:

Should i be scared or proud?

I agree with Rade on this one, I have played them on both PC and Console, and I find them better on Console, so much easier to aim accurately with a controller than a mouse.
And as for cross-platform, what about Shadowrun? I played that on console, did just as good as any of the PC players, and better than some.

I havent played Shadowrun so I cant say anything about that, but after 30 seconds of googling I found this:

"Criticism of Shadowrun has focused in part on the changes made in order to balance the PC and console versions in online play. FASA has implemented a feature which will distort the PC's aiming reticule during quick turns[4]. PC players, who have a more sensitive control scheme, are able to turn significantly faster than their controller brethren and would have gained an unfair advantage. The console players will also have a form of autoaim since controllers are not as capable of 'pixel-accuracy' adjustments."

I cant say if this is correct or not, but if you did as good as pcplayers with the help of autoaim...well that just proves my point :p Again I say I do not know of the gameplay "balancing" of this game, so take that for what it is.

PS: Hope I managed that quote right :eek:

Nope, no auto-aim when I played, so aiming at anyone was... rather difficult.
Had to aim properly, just like everyone else. If anything, aiming on that game was more difficult than any other FPS I have played.
Still, I've never enjoyed an FPS on PC as much as I have on a console. So I use a PC for RTS games, which I find them best for, and consoles for FPSs, which I find them best for.
Except for the added bonus of mods on PC... that is one thing that makes the PC better for games.
Unless you aren't interested in using mods, of course.

Is it so odd that a girl is better at a game than you? It's silly to even be thinking about it. Just be happy you have a shared interest and leave it at that. I'm better at some games than my bf, he's better than me at others, it never occurred to me that it might be emasculating in any way. But then I doubt I'd be with him if he thought that.

No. You should be yourself; Scared and Proud are their own people.
Also, I wish I had a girlfriend better at games than I am. Uh...
That is, I wish I had a girlfriend. Ever. Or a boyfriend. Really, I don't care.
You scare me...

I am interested in mods, so that combined with dedicated servers is reason enough for me to play fpses on PC, but I could never abandon my mouse if it was the other way around anyway.

Consoles are imo best used for
Xbox: 3rd person stuff
PS: Fighting games

PC is superior when it comes to fps/rts.

Meh...I wish there was some way we could duke it out in an fps...ah well... :p

I'd offer to play a game against you on, say, Modern Warfare 2 on 360, but I don't think you'd take part :p
I do have TF2 on PC... but I just found it not as fun to play as the console version... thus this conversation, where FPSs are enjoyed more on console...
And the controls for it on PC just made it not worth playing. Impossible to aim...
But that may also be because I suck at TF2, just not as much on console as on PC.

Dude, having a girlfriend who's kickass at something you enjoy is something rather wonderful. Being scared is not the right response.

(I picked "proud", in case you were wondering)

You should be scared because this means that if you guys get into a firefight she will strait kill you.


(In real life. I felt like that was not clear.)
