Shooters - Better on Computers or Consoles?

[Darth_Pugwash]

Computers are way better!

 

[Civfan333]

for this, consoles because it makes more sense and of course the one REAL reason.......(my sucky comp can't handle any FPS's.)

so swein, what DO they have in common?

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

I just can't get into the feel of a shooter game on a computer, but on a console I can really get into it.

 

[Harbringer]

Overall I like computers better period, especially for shooters, I just really wish they would make the MGS franchise for computer.

Try Half-Life 1.6 (dunno about Source (VALVe's engine that they made and half-assed added to Half Life 1) or Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. Either should run on a rather low end comp.

With a computer, you can hear something behind you, throw your mouse around and do a 180 and plant a bullet in the head on some nazi sneaking up on you.

Just cant do that the same way on a console.

True that, although the camera can be a lot smoother on consoles you can't turn as fast (and, due to the auto-aim, you don't need to be accurate).

On a really good shooter there are ways to change the sensitivity. And yes, the camera is a lot smoother. It has acceleration on the best of the best, so it will turn faster as you continue to hold the stick.

First of all, they're alike because both are Seattle natives.

Two, doesn't anybody know that most people the 360 versions of Call of Duty 4 and BioShock more than the PC versions. And some of the best shooters of all time were on the NINTENDO 64 and they were never ported to the PC.

Source please.

WRONG!

I would not consider Perfect Dark nor Goldeneye even the best shooters of the time they came out. Goldeneye was competing with Quake I-II and Duke Nukem, both of which allowed you to *gasp* fall off of small ledges. Perfect Dark was competing with Half-life and all its mods, Quake III, and Unreal Tournament.

I was just about to take you off my ignore list, but I think I'll leave you on it.

Forever.

Also your sig is even dumber than you come across as.

Hey, it has me in it. That makes everything good.

 

[Civfan333]

unfortunately, not me................

 

[Swein Forkbeard]

As far as I know, GoldenEye 007 had excellent Single-Player and Multi-Player, and Perfect Dark had more of the same. To some things up...

...Actually, Half-Life 2 has a higher Gamerankings average than both games. But not by a full percent, and ()'s users like GoldenEye more than Half-Life 2.

@harbinger: I believe the first two MGS games have PC versions.

I don't know what that even means.

I say they're about equal. Only a PC shooter with a mouse can really reflect the actual reflexes of the player, adding realism.

Only a console shooter (unless you use a joystick or gamepad, which I don't) offers the actual motion of hitting a trigger to fire a weapon, thus realism.

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

I don't know what that even means.

It means that I just don't feel like I'm into the game on a PC. I feel remote and away from it all, whereas on a console I get sucked in and feel like I'm actually there, shooting.

Well you do have the vibrators in some (all now?) controllers. Eh, whatever is the most fun for you is what you should get

Yeah, I have an Xbox 360. I like its controllers more than any other controllers for some reason.

Do you mind posting a picture of a 360 controller?
