I'm just saying, for a place that's supposed to argue intelligently, I see so many people trying to slander consoles at the slightest second. Maybe these were folks brought in primarily by Zero Punctuation, but it exists and, honestly, it's an incredibly idiotic perspective to have. I've found more open minded people on Wii60.com than a lot of supposedly intelligent people here, and that's a self-admitted fanboy site.Arbre said:Please. A few months ago, there were less lot people here, and discussions were much more solid and behaved.
Seems that the Yahtzee videos dragged a whole lot of whiners.
There's no reason to suggest and entertain an idea of Us vs. Them.
It does not help.
No, but when you do you are either running your ass off and not shooting at all or you are merely spraying and praying. There is no precise aiming, which is what the crosshair represents. Even without the crosshair, you can guess that whatever is at the center of the screen is where your spray of bullets goes, which is basically following the same mentality it would in real life. If you had to quickly change locations in real life, you're going to quickly point in the general direction of the enemy, pull the trigger, and let loose before turning and running. You're not going to take the time to carefully aim down the sites of your weapon.So in a real firefight you never have to change locations?
So, why take the time precisely focusing the crosshair exactly where you want it to shoot when bullets are going to land in the area you want anyway and cause the enemy to duck down and buy you some time?
I don't care about your whole left-handed argument, as that is another design point entirely. I'm just saying you're not truly thinking through what it is you don't like. In the end, the moments you don't have a crosshair don't matter because you're not trying to accurately aim anyway. And if you are, you simply don't understand the game at all. That, or just don't know how to play it properly, in which case, such as any game you wouldn't understand, you die. Also, in case you want to start arguing about "having to play a game properly" think of it like going after the ghosts in Pac-Man from the get go instead of avoiding them until you have the power pellet. You die because you're doing it wrong. That simple. Games are meant to be played a specific way, and that is a fact.
I'm thinking I'm done with this thread with the exception of actual discussions on game length.
