Well I just woke-up and saw this at page 3 ans was amused to see so. For the last couple posters, if you read my first post you would see that I own both the 360, PS3, and wii, as well as a high end PC.
To those that replied "durr i can aim just fine" Of COURSE you can, because just about every console fps has a built in auto aim, so long as your crosshair is a few inches from an enemy it gladly moves it right on top of the enemy for you, that is unacceptable imo as that is clearly making up for the lack of finess to manually aim with a controller. So in reality, no, you cant aim just fine by yourself, because the game wont let you.
And no, its not that I cant aim with a controller, it is just awkward as hell. Goldeneye on n64? hell yeah that was fun as crap, and that game had 0 auto aim, its a timeless classic that probably didn't need to work on the PC. Why? because it was offline, throw lag into the mix and well now we run into issues.
I have a number of FPS (halo2,halo3, Killzone2, few others i cant recall) for console, and they're fun, but nowheres near as fun or easily playable as on the PC.
Also wanted to throw in there that I only upgrade my pc once every 2 1/2 to 3 years... I upgraded my machine about 8 months ago currently, but the one thing I didnt upgrade is my video card, still running an older 8800 GTS, I got it to run crysis at max which it did, and nothing that has been released since then has needed me to upgrade my video card further. If you buy cheap/barely upgraded parts then of course you will have to update constantly, if you buy a $1000 1995 honda civic, don't expect the whole thing to not fall apart in a year or two.
