lawl at console fps.
that is all
I hesitate to say this on a keyboard enthusiast forum but in my opinion mouse and keyboard only has one advantage over a console controller and that's the mouse. Mouse aim is great on a PC FPS but for everything else (assuming that you don't need to bind about fifty keys) I would go with a controller (wired xbox 360).
ANOTHER reason PC Gaming is dead.
Microsoft and Intel would never give anything away free.
What ones should I get?
Little Big Planet and Infamous?
I refuse to buy a PC game until I can figure out how to get audiophile quality 7.1 sound without these damn Creative drivers.
BWAHAHAHA - Guess What I'm Playing Right Now!!!!
Do you work for Sony?
Do you know how evil they are?

How do you switch weapons on the fly with a controller? Scroll through each one?
It's called modern shooter game design where they only allow you to carry two guns anyway. Or 4 at the max and mapped to the dpad. :-)
I like to play a variety of games. I get bored of the COD clones. I know that Serious Sam would bug the crap out of me. HL2 would bother me, UT3, GTA4, etc.
what's stopping you fps competitive console guys from just buying that adapter that lets you use a keyboard and mouse? I mean if you were really competitive you wouldn't just stop at modding a few analogue nobs on a controller or doing some double fire, you'd just get that adapter for a mouse and keyboard and that would beat any wussy controller mod.
I'll always go by the notion that an average keyboard/mouse fps player will beat 98% of all controller fps players.
Because that would be cheating?
In a way yes though now with higher end keyboards it's gone back to the keyboard. Here's a thread that I posted in Joy/Mouse or Joy/trackball setups or HOTAS/Mouse/ball (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?11745-left-hand-is-not-enough-footpedals&p=282615&viewfull=1#post282615)
As for mouse the reason as to why it's so much better can be expressed ad nauseum.
This video of the Xim3 says it all especially the guy over voice chat. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnZvrjv1_JI)
The only reason they can keep up with him is because of the soft-aim/lock(auto-aim) and it's the video is even more hilarious for the fact that the xbox doesn't do a 1:1 translation(low polling rate, translation, etc.etc.) so in reality the mouse is being used only at maybe 70-80% of it's full capacity.
As far as I'm aware Major League Gaming doesn't support the use of mouse and keyboard for playing
No keyboard or mouse on console games... Right? Because it gives a heck of an edge.
Why console FPS make so much money - Because more people buy them.
Why hard core FPS players prefers PC - Because of the user interface (keyboard and mouse/trackball) allow far more speed, control and accuracy over joysticks.
I'll switch to consoles the day they will offer the same level of control you get with a PC.
THAT is the problem with PC Gaming.
It's ALL 2's.
Retreads.
No innovation.
I'm looking forward to Duke Nukem on a PS3.Show Image(http://www.bargaincell.com/images/products_large/thirdparty/dnh/tp011592.jpg)
I wonder what the booby rating will be?
Just saying, it's illogical to pay that much for so little content.
Just saying, it's illogical to pay that much for so little content.having once doing this when my fiance used to play mmo's for 7 years, it was rather annoying upgrading every year, especially when you "NEEDED" to see graphics in a mmo to know when a spell is cast or not, that's the worst. Couldn't even give her or myself hand me downs, we both needed near top end gear. Now i'm rather happy having a graphics card from 2007 (4850?) and having fun modding a amd dual to a quad and ssd's, but haven't even wanted to touch anything for half a year. (it's an all work comp anyway, just need it to work 100%)
How much money have you spent on keyboards in the past year?
Thats not bad at all but it's a bit hypocritical to bust balls over someone dropping a couple of grand every couple of years on a hobby.
Can't you just do that on a console? :rolleyes:
To be fair, FF14 is only on PC atm and it's patheticness is more deep rooted than what it's on lol. Glad I tried the beta to realize I don't want to try the game.
Ah, but ffxiv was created for a console interface and rollout which is a good portion of why it sucks too.
He despises my PS3.That doesn't make sense, he's a kid, he shouldn't have a bigotted feeling towards any gaming platform, some games are good for some platforms and some are best for others. besides doesn't the controller "rumble" when there's a clue in RDR? can't do that on pc, and that rumble is awesome, oh maybe ppl will play RDR again since True Grit is about to come out soon.
PC bigot.
