Poll: Console Cults

[goater24]

I worship my SNES and my PC now I have Grim Fandango running on it again comrades.

 

[DigitalSushi]

I worship nothing.

All three consoles have nothing we haven't seen before (except the Blu-Ray from the PS3).

I wouldn't call be able to watch movies something I've not seen before, the PS3 is very powerful, but not innovative.

I'm not choosing any, I've dilly dallied with all of them, i've only been offended by Halo 3 so far on the Xbox.

I never said that it is innovative but it is something new for a console.

 

[Faeanor]

I worship nothing, for I am part of the PC master race. Consoles bow before me!

 

[Syphonz]

behold OP, as i said before... Landslide towards the master race.

I'm confused, what about Blu ray is new?, its just a format for disc's, Compact Disc's were new in 1982, blu ray is just the next logical step for that tech.
Just because it has bigger memory, doesn't mean its a new thing.

I like the PS3, it just gets my goat about people calling it new tech, its not, the CELL processor is a RISC processor thats multi threaded, which has been done before, blu ray is just a disc format.

Sorry to bang on at you, its not your fault I feel this way!
but it still grabs my goat!

This is just another version of flame-bait.

I'm fully expecting that MOD ON STERIODS nilcypher to kill this thread the minute he logs on.

While I saw this as Flame Bait, I still fucking bit, shame on me.

 

[curlycrouton]

GameBoy Advance!

 

[Jamash]

If people are worshipping consoles, then maybe you should swap the 'l' for a 'n' in "cults" in the thread title.

 

[ihatefullmetalalchemist]

Whats flame bait?

 

[Bertruam]

I play on every thing, even pc games. Where ever a good game comes out im going to play it.

 

[goodman528]

The old Nintendo NES probably has more worshippers than today's consoles added together.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

I don't worship any of this generation. They all have problems. I prefer my PS2.

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

I choose the snes. Fuck all of the new consoles.

For first person shooter games, could you explain how it is still too imprecise? It's not like you typically need anything more than binary digital inputs for gross movements in competitive online multiplayer games.

Because you can only move in one of eight directions at most. Plus I find having to switch between them pretty awkward compared to pushing my thumb in a different direction.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

I worship my Atari 2600 and my NES.

I'd like to know where these FPS games are where analog movement is as crucial as aim.

 

[Geo Da Sponge]

Again, how many directions do you need to move in when playing a first person shooter? Considering everyone who plays the most demanding FPS games out there, Quake and Unreal, uses keyboards, I'm curious as to why they don't feel limited or awkward when doing things like this:

Each to his own. I just don't like them. I would also like to state 'why doesn't the controller set up feel inprecise when someone does stuff like this'?

I'm sticking with my good old PC thank you very much.

This.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

My Xbox crapped out on me, I don't own a PS3, and my DS is my shameful little secret. I don't think I can worship any of those things. If I HAD to pick something to worship, it'd probably be the DS - maybe if I pray to it, playing game's won't destroy my wrist.
