PC Master Race Consoles Vs PCs

[leggy]

@Scouse @Raven

Here you go... now stop derailing every fucking thread!!!!

.. love you both.

 

[Raven]

Meh, PCs for proper games.

Consoles for party games/group fun.

Here you go... now stop derailing every fucking thread!!!!

Actually - all I did was make the unhappy observation that Doom's gameplay was sadly hobbled by console controller design.

An on-topic post in a gaming forum in the PC gaming thread. If you can't discuss it in there, where can you?

But yeah, what @Raven said, basically

I have both and like both and i dont have to play at 60 fps

 

[leggy]

I don't understand what that means.

Since I rebuilt my PC last year I find anything less that 60fps a bit shit.

 

[old.Tohtori]

PC for "proper games", heh, that's cute.

 

[Edmond]

Wait, you can play games on the PC?



Sorry , I just saw the NSFW tag and, well, I was drawn in. What can I say, it's in my nature

There's some city builders and family simulators. Bunch of excel stuff really

 

[Lakih]

I have both and I play more on the PC then then console, but they both play their parts.
Playing games like rockband with a mouse and keyboard on a PC is a little close to reality for my taste

 

[old.Tohtori]

Yeah both have their merits and both have their hardcore games and their shits and giggles games.

And as i've said before, if it's an if/or situation then i'd rather a game be made available for consoles and modded later on PC to fix things, then remove a game(or a story) from over half of the gamers out there.

Best is ofcourse to make ports work and not half-ass it at final stages. Like there's plenty of games that work on both systems in their own way, such as GTA(about time one of them did), saints, dark souls and so on.

Absolutely. I'd never play PES or a fighty game on a mouse and keyboard.

It's just playing FPS's on consoles is like to stabbing your fun to death. Then shitting on your dead fun. Then eating your dead shit-covered fun, only to shit it out again.

And re-stab it.

 

[old.user4556]

BUT TEH NENTODO WEE SOLD MORE THAN PEE ESS 4 AND XBONX COMBINED

THEREFORE ITS THE BEST

LELS U FEGITS

*whistles*

 

[Ctuchik]

Because paying way too much for a plastic box filled with outdated and underpowered hardware is well worth the "benefit" of not having to upgrade...

Right?

Must admit I'm quite enjoying Farcry 4 on PS4 at the moment, but then, not being a cack-handed spastic, I find aiming with a controller quite easy.

 

[caLLous]

Aim assist'll do that.

 

[Moriath]

Gta v was infinitly easier on the pc with mouse and keybpard. Farcry is easy to play on the console but the aiming would be easier on a pc. I would never play an online fps on a console. Not that i play much fps online anyway. But eg i would only buy battlefield on the pc.

But for any game single player either is acceptable.

 

[Bodhi]

So you're saying mouse and keyboard makes things easier, meaning it's for people who just aren't very good at games?

Makes sense

 

[caLLous]

Sigh. Really? You can aim more accurately and more quickly on PC, with raw input that isn't assisted because of the limitations of trying to aim on a non-precise device like a stick or a dpad on a console controller. A mouse is "move the mouse, the gun aims there", a console controller is "point the stick in the direction you want the reticule to move, it moves a bit, release the stick at just the right moment oh shit you went a bit too far, back it up a little bit". This is why console FPSs use aim assist, it's like a little gravitational field around each baddie that draws the aim towards it. Which one of those 2 scenarios sounds like it's trying to make life easier for the gamer? The one with aim ASSIST, or the one without?

 

[Scouse]

Personally, I figured out the square pegs and round holes conundrum when I was five.

Right tool for the job, n' all.

Enough about your sex life, what about games?

Seriously I couldn't give a shit either way, I used to play on a PC, Now I use a PlayStation, can't say I am enjoying games any less. Just play what you enjoy.

Except if it's xbox. They suck.

 

[Scouse]

Just play what you enjoy.

I don't think anyone's saying not do that.

But the this thread was started because of the PC gaming thread about doom 4 and the fact that FPS's are nerfed nowadays because they have to cater to a control mechanism that would be inadequate if they ramped it up several notches.

So yes, play what you enjoy. It's just a shame that the mass-participation thing of consoles has inadvertently lessened the potential enjoyment that PC-only titles used to bring because of an uncompromised level of control.

Lol. PC Master Race thread tag

Yup love to play 50h FF game session with the party.

Which. Is. Bullsh*t. (as is your additional claims on that thread on how game design works)

I can ask the same here, just regarding controls;

Who here can give an example of a game that couldn't be ported to a console because it has a controller? Any FPS, any time, that absolutely requires a mouse+kb?

Cool, is there a FF game on PS4 already?

That's the wrong question and you know full well it is. Typical Toht straw man argument

 

[old.Tohtori]

It's not. It's just a fact of game design. Controls don't define the game, controls are designed for the game.

That doesn't exclude poor design as i've stated many times before, but it's a fact that stands.
