Global Strike Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Yes, i know there are already threads up about what version of battlefront, but i'm doing this poll to see who's playing what version as you might of guessed and also if you will be mostly playing online or single player. :jawa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isair Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 PC for me, but since I'll be playing both on-line and off-line, though mostly on-line. I voted PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeiamyourdad Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Yet so true... I'm gonna try online but if people are always bitching, then offline it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Strike Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 I'll most likley be playing on xbox, both off and online if i have fast enough internet. Unlike most people on these forums, i like playing fps on console. :jawa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not start a flame war over people's gaming preferences. Oh I was only kidding...well, ok, no I wasn't..but I didn't at all intend it as an attack on others preferences, just an embittered expression of my opinion. It's just that console games are generally dumbed down. I'm particularly bitter since most gamers are console gamers and seeing that trend, PC developers have been dumbing down PC games which have been sliding down that slope over the past few years. If you look at PC games from the late to mid 90s and follow them to to present you can easily see the trend. So, I consider myself at war with consoles and those that play them are unwitting accomplices to my misery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Strike Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 Pc games don't seem to have been dumbed down as you say they have. They seem alright to me. :jawa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Ak4t7 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I really don't care, we get Halo 2. If PC gets thier hands on it, it's gonna be another crapy version like the original Halo. Xbox is best, LAG FREE IS THE WAY TO BE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntsman Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Originally posted by GlobalStrike Pc games don't seem to have been dumbed down as you say they have. They seem alright to me. :jawa First question - what games have you played for the PC? Those that have always been dumb or those that have degraded over the years to accomodate arcade syle gamers? To offer one jewel of an example, I used to love the mechwarrior series. MW2 was very technical and simmulation-like...as the series grew older, it became more and more arcade-like. Hell, as a side note, I remember when they brought MW2 to the playstation. In order to accomodate console gamers, the ground was littered with "power-ups"...pure blasphemy.

Huntsman Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Oh, as a side note, there is no better way to play a FPS than with keyboard and mouse. I hear people say they are just as good with a controller but I would bet my life savings that if 2 people of exactly equal skill played each other, one with a controller, the other with keyboard and mouse, the mouse will win almost every time. Skill aside, using the two sticks to turn and aim on a controller is simply slower than freely looking about with a mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Warrior Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 i TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Amen. They did dumbed down games throughout the years. It's now more arcade then it used to be. I need to note that if a game lags on the X-Box, it will lag forever. You doN,t get patches and anything. Besides, what makes it so sure that you won't get lag online? I'm gonna take Halo as another example. As a console shooter, I agree it's perhaps the best there is. However, being a PC shooter player(and having player enough shooters whatsoever), the PC FPS are all around better. Even when they ported Halo to the PC. It was...nothing compared to the others.

Mountainforest Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I will be playing on the pc. First offline, and when I finished the game online. I think the problem with consoles is you can't upgrade them easely, so if you wan't a better gaming experiencer, you need to buy a new console.

Darth_ToMeR Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I will play on the PC version... Offline and Online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I will be playing mostly playstation 2 offline since I don't have a internet adaptor on my playstation 2 and I will be losing my broadband connection by the end of 2004. Plus my PC is out of date! Probably won't run with a Pentium III 667MHz, 128MB memory, 8MB video card, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, haha, the whole point of the XBox harddrive was for the ability to HAVE patches and extra content which you can download. Same goes for many other XBox games currently online. However, the PS2 and GameCube ones... well, actually, the PS2 with hte new hard drive will be able to patch up since I seriously doubt Battlefront WON'T use the hd. GameCube remains a mystery. My preference is the PC Online simply because of the added reflexes of the keyboard and mouse combo. If it were only PS2, Xbox and GameCube then I would have gone with the PS2... simply because I only have a PS2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
