Seriously though, FPS games, and all other genres, belong on consoles and PC. Not one or the other. Both worlds.

Wow i have a PC too, that I am sure no one else wants to hear about. We are having enough fun and helping the economy stay afloat just fine thinks. There is plenty proof of that.

If you have to clarify to yourself and others that your machine is better to the extent that you create a thread about it, You must be pretty insecure with yourself or your machine.

Do you really think your opinion that PC is better is going to make me, and others like me think "... Oh... he must be right... he made a thread... guess i'll go pay extortionate amounts of money towards a PC that i'll have to change and upgrade later on..."

Arguing over whose machine is better is really juvenile. An FPS can be enjoyed to the maximum on whatever machine you choose to play it on. PC, XBOX or PS3.

Agreed.
The PS3 is the optimal gaming system.
I have a excellent gaming pc and when everyone else is upgrading to meet the new specs,
I'm laughing because my pc can already play those games...lol

I still prefer the PS3.

When the psn outage happened, I fired up my Xbox 360 and it is inferior to PS3 in every way.
It's like playing a old Atari 2600 compared to the PS3.

PC gamers love their mods and their aimbots.

This "PC VS Console" stuff is getting old.. It's the same damned game. Wow, you have what you would consider better graphics and controls. That's subjective as I love the graphics on consoles and I wouldn't trade my controller for anything else..

I don't give a crap about what anyone thinks which "platform" is better or people who want to stroke their epeen.. I just want the one I'm playing on to work correctly.. and as of now it doesn't.. :verymad:

Also without us inferior console players, most of the FPS games wouldn't even have anywhere near as big of sales as they currently do.

Depends on the game. Some games let you turn it all the way off, others let you turn it off, but don't do anything about the enlarged hitboxes on enemies. So while his point may be asinine it's not completely false.

Anyway this is a dumb thread. FPS's sell well on consoles for a reason.

Madcatz Panther XL and mouse is the way to go for PC FPS.

FPS don't have a 'place.' Thats just elitist really devoted fan talk. You can't argue the number of successful FPS on consoles.

This just in...owning a PC doesn't make you better than someone, doesn't make your enjoyment better.

I agree that FPS is much better on PC but when a certain FPS suffers from terrible performance, several bugs, and lack of support for common resolutions, I find myself regretting having purchased that certain FPS at all.

^ Agree completely.

I have had to delete a couple of posts for flaming. So far, apart from those two posts, the thread has been reasonably well behaved but please watch it with flaming and platform bashing as it won't be tolerated. Thanks guys.

Most people just don't have the couple of grand needed to buy a gaming PC, me included. For ￡200 consoles work great (and I can't aim for [censored] with a mouse)

I find it interesting that the PC bandwagon will find fault in a consoles auto aim features yet they go to great lengths to hack, mod, exploit,do everything they can to make some kinda aim bot, make infinite health and ammo, instantly boost all achievements and then say they are superior. why, because you cheat??because a computer can be hardware upgraded? And last i saw PC's have some kick butt joysticks and gaming pads too..

Dont get me wrong i love my PC, it does some great things. But look at this from a different perspective. Consoles are outdated and at this point it would be useless to hardware upgrade as the games made are made to fit the current factory shipped console hardware specs.

Here is the kicker about consoles and why i think that the market suffers from one major flaw that makes them inferior to computers. It isnt from lack of ability, it is from lack of innovation and adaptability. A computer can evolve to ever changing technology, where as a console stays stuck in in the technology of yesteryear. Other then getting a bigger hard drive or cooling system, that where adaptability ends for consoles.

Now imagine for a second, that the next generation of consoles came out with the ability to do hardware upgrades to the video card, processors, fans, you name it, it can be upgraded just like a PC. Not only would it be cheaper to get a console, you get a product built to keep up with the ever changing landscape of graphics and gaming. PC gaming would no longer be a forerunner adaptability wise and consoles would be the way to go. Production wise, a consoles hardware would be made to fit, operate and function on either xbox 360 or playstation 3, only 2 products, making production of upgrades for consoles cheaper, faster, more efficient, allowed more time and money for research and development . PC's would have to be gateway, apple, HP, mac, linux, toshiba, dell etc, a large number of different products and operating system softwares, so PC's wont ever be cheaper production wise.

Honestly if consoles were on the same playing fields as shown above, we all know who would win right? Consoles would win hands down, on just the affordability factor. Considering the manufacturing aspects and cheaper cost as opposed to a PC, im surprised the consoles havent already made moves like this. I can only imagine the waves of PC gamers who would run to a consoles bandwagon, eager to join the crowd, out of fear of getting left behind and having to spend way more money for a inferior PC.

Point and click.

whats great in being forced to upgrade hardware every time new generation of games is being released? I bought my ps3 and I know i will play any game made on it no matter what pc hardware is required.

Console games break the all limits in gamin in recent times to mention only: uncharted, halo,killzone, gears of war, god of war, little planet, assasin creed,heavy rain. without consoles pc player would just play arcade fps and the same cliche mmorpg, made for people to scared to get out of home and met real people in real life.

Let me see, Call of Duty, Killzone, Resistance, Fear, there are a lot of good console FPS games. However, some shooters have been better on PC, but because of the developers. Both consoles are pretty powerful machines. I use both.

Again, this will probably be the 'third' time I post this in saying that I OWN EVERY CONSOLE, I do not -hate- console players, although i deffinetly favor PC gaming as being my main. My main point was that 360 players in general are trashing brink Every. Single. Thread. And my point was that Brink itself is NOT a bad game, the 360 version is just awful, but from what i hear it will be getting a patch soon. But at this rate all the 360 children are crying so bad that a game released with bugs. Know what? It may not be acceptable, and noone proud of it, but lots of pc games, primarly ones that require an extreme heavy server load such as all blizzard games and other mmos, rts' often have day 1-3 issues. People will [censored] alot, yes, but most people atleast have the common sense to be able to differentiate between a "bad game" and "bad server problems" which is all the 360 players are having. Bad Ai? So damn what, you didn't buy brink for the bots, don't even try to say you did. Graphics? They don't make the game, they help the game.

The TLDR is that you beautifully attractive, [censored] Laude wielding social gods that are console players... Are whining about the wrong issues.

On that note, having bad lag on the 360? I bet the PS3 players would LOVE bad lag.

I prefer PC's for strategy games, puzzle games & simulators, but I just find FPS' on Computers really bad, I prefer consoles.

your obviously not looking in the right places if you think you cant find a gaming pc for less then 2 grand.

so again you're admit that problems suffered by xbox player gave you enjoyment.And you insinuate most game on ps3 are laggy. You might own all formats( however i doubt it) but you have obvious grief toward console players
. Funny how you cant adress the fact that consoles revolutionased gaming world, all you have is just insults. Week trolling.I am proud of being console player , and wont have any little kid with obvious problem to talk down on me.

Meh, I prefer console any day of the week. Just because the dev messed up the console version doesn't mean consoles are bad. The fact that the game is of poor quality on consoles does not mean FPS should always be played on PC, that's ridiculous logic.

I insinuated that the PS3 players cant even play online, and thus are worse off then the 360 crybabies.

You also seem to be stuck on making me seem like I hate consoles, I completly admitted in an earlier post that the consoles brought slews of new people to the market; However, I also stated In the end it was for the worse as now instead of companies pumping out quality games they like, they are stuck making yearly remakes of COD and MLB/NHL/NFL whatever, because it sells thanks to viral marketing.

I guess i should add, my favorite console games are fighters, as I own a SF4 SE Stick modded with Sanwa buttons and stick. Also if the PSN wasnt down i would love to play me some demons souls online right now.

How is that productive in anyway, or helping your argument at all?

Lol @ the notion that console revolutionized gaming. They never got even close to revolutionalizing anything, never have and at this rate never will. The forerunners for any great console game, outside of fighting games, are pc games. Consoles do not have the juice to re-invent the wheel.

Because I don't need to help my argument, i've no reason to defend myself or try to explain my point further when people pick apart my posts to try and find fault.

So yes, they are crybabies, whining that what they have doesnt work that great until later this week, whereas the PS3 players have nothing and no ETA.
