Rogue Nine Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Are first-person shooters better for you on a PC or a console? (Note there is only one correct answer to this question).
Trench Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Um... The correct answer? The only one I've ever played is Republic Commando, and that was on computer. So I'm not really sure.
urluckyday Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Well...every first person shooter except for Halo has been better on PC...Halo is the only exception to the rule.
acdcfanbill Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Well...every first person shooter except for Halo has been better on PC...Halo is the only exception to the rule. Having played Halo on PC I respectfully disagree. Every type of shooter is better on PC. Off the top of my head, I can think of platformers and fighting games being more intuitive on consoles.
jrrtoken Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Anyone that says "console" must provide a Master's thesis supporting their beliefs, complete with Excel spreadsheets and in-depth visual aids to prove themselves.
Jeff Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Depends for me. Some games I just don't know why I prefer one or the other but it's not always PC or always console. I'd say in general I like multiplayer fps games on console (xbox live) and single player ones on PC but that is not always the case. Definitely like Valve games on PC (Left 4 Dead etc). So I wouldn't say I prefer one over the other. I will say it takes more skill/practice to be pro at console fps than PC though. Obviously that is why everyone likes them on PC better but I don't mind console controls at all.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 **** PC, console all the way. I haven't played a PC game, let alone a shooter game on PC, in the past five years. Mind you, I barely play my 360 anymore. Not until later this year when all the sequels come out.
Drunkside Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Isnt a poll like this kinda useless? PC IS better, everyone who has played any shooters on both pc and console knows that...
Astor Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 I adapt easily to both - at a pinch, i'd say PC, but I'll happily play an FPS on console if it were an exclusive title.
True_Avery Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 For anyone who puts in Console, try precision aiming with a sniper rifle with a console joystick and get back to me. Hell, mouse and keyboard third party attachments are banned from the 360 specifically because it makes you better at it. I think that says enough.
Q Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 I like both. Keyboard/mouse is usually simpler/easier, but the same FPS on a console is usually more challenging and can be more fun depending on my mood.
Mandalore The Shadow Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Console i cant understand how anyone can find it EASY to play a 1st person shooter on a PC
Endorenna Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 The only FPS games I've tried are JK:Outcast, Republic Commando, BF1, and BF2. The only one on a console was BF2. I can play it in FP, but I really prefer third-person on everything. BF1, JK, and Republic Commando are all murder on the PC. I far prefer consoles. Maybe I just like having the crouch button and the shoot button within reach of one hand.
SG-17 Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Neither, FPS are a load of garbage. TPS are where it is at. SWBF and SOCOM FTW.
Rogue Nine Posted July 6, 2009 Author Posted July 6, 2009 Console i cant understand how anyone can find it EASY to play a 1st person shooter on a PC You point where you want to shoot with a mouse, then you click the button. It still amazes me how people keep picking the wrong answer.
Endorenna Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 You point where you want to shoot with a mouse, then you click the button. It still amazes me how people keep picking the wrong answer. Ah, I've always been better with joysticks.
