PC and Console sigh if only we could play together

Post » Tue Mar 04, 2014 11:06 am

I do not know consoles indeed, just think one point "can" - it means does not always have. I just think that a lot of console players do not have keyboard. In result there will be silence or less trolling (if you want from better side) on consoles.

UI modding - yes, that gives more information and could produce lack of balance.

The majority of "Normal" everyday mature people play consoles, the geeks, nerds play PC lol fact.

I also have a feeling that PS4 will be in a way more social somewhat as people will group up and then make a PS4 PSN Party and chat over mics, on PC people only talk to their guild and their guild ventrillo and rarely socialize outside of it.

Autotargetting isn't balancing - it tilts the balance in favour of the console gamer. So now you have the exact same issue, but just the opposite way round - congratulations. Controllers and mice are just too different to even consider balancing.

You might have missed my metaphor/anology. So let me explain it in plain English: use the correct tool for the job. Some games (SMB) are designed for controllers, and controllers out-do KB&M. Other games (FPS) are designed for KB&M and out-do controllers. Another class of games don't care (typically spectacle fighters). Due to the inclusion of aim in the game mice give players an upper-hand, player skill is not a component of the argument. Take it personally if you wish. I play with both KB&M and console controllers (not at the same time, of course - I'm not Korean) and appreciate the differences between the two.

Let's play a game of Tekken, you'll annihilate me - that's what I am saying.

Yeah but I'm straight up telling you, as someone who has played multiple MMOs on consoles (FFXI, FFXIV beta, DCUO, and Warframe), that that just isn't the case. See what I'm saying? I have 1st hand experience playing MMOs on consoles, where you say most people won't use keyboards and the community will be dead. It's simply not the case. In some cases the console communities are more active in chat because they aren't all secluded away in private Skype/Vent/Teamspeak groups.

Look at WoW. I recently went back to it and purchased the Pandaria expansion. General chat is a ghost town. The only activity you see is the trade chat and every once in awhile some decent interaction that has nothing to do with trade goes on. I'm not going to go off and say that all PC games are like this now. I'm not even going to suggest that it's like that on all of the WoW servers. It was like that on the server I was playing on. I canceled my sub in preparation for this game, which I intend to play on PC... unless I get a chance to test the PS4 client and enjoy the gameplay on a controller more. Even then I'll probably still play the PC version because that's the version everyone that I know who is interested in this game is going to play. I'll still be pining for controller support because I think that the gameplay fits it.

Oblivion and Skyrim have solidified using a controller for Elder Scrolls games for me. I even replayed Morrowind for Xbox and enjoyed it with a controller.

I always laugh when console players pull the "oh you can put mouse and keyboard with a console!"

For the love...just buy that damn pc, your argument is crumbling behind a huge cop-out haha.

autoaim as in the game is not an FPS you aim in the direction of an enemy and attack and your ESO attack will hit that enemy, there is no precision aiming, there is no twitch combat, there is aim in that general direction and hit, and melee wont have any issues at all, so there game makes no difference on pc or console.

I remember that, pretty much the reason why there is no kb/mouse support. What controller on earth could ever replace the wheel mouse optical? the greatest tournament mouse in history.
