Kinect Man Says "Hardly Anyone" Plays PC Shooters Anymore

[Joe Deadman]

Well, whoops. I've swapped from console to pc over that time. OH DEAR, I'M BACKWARDS.

Me too :|
I guess we're just a couple of idiots XD.

 

[gibboss28]

Oh man, thanks for giving me a chuckle.

 

[joshthor]

CRAP! IM HARDLY ANYONE!!

 

[Gindil]

I think... I don't know what to think. The guy is demonstrably wrong. I was going to say, 'maybe it's a regional thing', but he's the head of EA Chicago, not some reclusive Japanese developer who has no interest in crazy Western games.

Remember, they also gave us this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Def_Jam:_Icon]

LAWL.

I'm shocked by the complete idiocy of this man. Is he on the same page as the other guys from MS?

 

[The_ModeRazor]

It still costs poor people who need the money 400,000$ to say pointless things... while Microsoft does it for free for twelve seconds.

Also, IS NOT POSSIBLE.
Oh, and MicroSPAH is sappin' mah moodspensah!

So yeah, Team Fortress 2 is very popular. Modern Warfare 2 (and one) also. And they didn't have STALKER for consoles (well, not that popular, but methinks it be awesome).

From the Steam page:

66,415 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Multiplayer
65,164 Counter-Strike: Source
61,036 Counter-Strike
17,888 Football Manager 2010
13,746 Team Fortress 2
10,053 Left 4 Dead 2

That's not quite in line with his statements.

And it also scares me that 1.6 is still so popular.

And this is just the steam based games. There are games like the Battlefield series and about half the copies of MW2 are not on steam...

Not to mention, since nobody playes FPS games on the PC anymore, i guess i should be able to buy Valve's office building for a few hundred dollars eh? OH WAIT, this is reality where Valve is probably the most stable and profitable developer.

Why did we move to the faster, prettier option?
With better aiming/controls?

WHY?

WHY ARE WE WRONG?!

 

[yoyo13rom]

Thats because 1.6 is still awesome, and because it will pretty much run on ANY pc.

OT. How can someone this ignorant work for the games industry?

I've once met a game tester at EA that is 100% certain that story in games is just a waste of development. So... I think there are worse people out there.

OT: Ignorant greedy people will always be ignorant greedy people...

Would you like to add the xfire list to that? [http://www.xfire.com/]

Anyway I can''t believe idiots like this get work. I don't care what anyone says a mouse is better than an analog stick for aiming. I have used both and the keyboard and mouse is still superior to controllers by far and always will be no question about it. The only thing that is better is Time Crisis style things and even then the stuff on the Wii has awful turn speed as you can't vary it right like on the PC.

Is CSS really still going that strong? My friends told me they moved to CoD4 because hardly anyone was playing anymore.
In all fairness it was a good choice since all the idiots on CoD4 moved to MW2

 

[Elementlmage]

Counter Strike 1.6 would beg to differ!

 

[The Bandit]

You're doing a lot to attract the hardcore gaming crowd, Microsoft.

 

[Digikid]

Wow....seriously this is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of.

People play FPS on the PC all the time....heck it is even BETTER ON THE PC BECAUSE IT IS MORE ACCURATE!

Sorry....caps lock was on and I am too lazy to fix it. Deal with it.

 

[Evilsanta]

What's this guy smoking or snorting? Because i want some of that and get some freaky hallucinations.

 

[Xanthious]

Dear Mr Tsunoda:

Please shut the hell up and go choke on a dick. Any dick will do, you choose.

Much Love

[dfphetteplace]

<----------Runs off to play TF2 to spite this idiot.

 

[Eruanno]

Dear Kudo Tsunoda, you are a very strange man, and you are very wrong. Valve were doing quite well with Left 4 Dead 1&2, Team Fortress 2, etc. last time I checked. Also, Modern Warfare 2.

Sigh.

Wow, Halo 1 is more popular than CoH, never woulda guessed that!

LOL, 3x more hours were burned on CoD:4 than MW:2!

Kinect Man fails to tell the difference between Arse and Elbow.

Theres your follow up story right there.
