Poll: do u do better online with a pc or a console?

[Ultrajoe]

Awww Massuh, that was a nice end to the thread..
It pleased the Awesome One, and all things in the world were inherently good and Awesome, and all in his realm were happy.

But then the evil Massuh did come, and stompeth all over the realm of Awesomeness, and the Awesomeness was indeed consumed by grief.

The Awesome One did leave this place, and traveled for but 40 days and 40 nights and survived with nough but Awesomeness and condoms. He came to a mysterious fork in the road, one way led through many an Awesome meadow of joy and happyness; the other lead down a dark road of Massuh and death.

The Awesome One, consumed by rage that the Evil Massuh did dare corrupt his road with a fork, stood astride the paths, his well-oiled loins glistening in the rays of Awesome that did flow from his mind, like water from a fountain. The Awesome One spent yet another 300 days and 300 nights and one half a day more contemplating which path he should take. He was met by a lone traveller: a Hannarr by the name of "This one,". This one said that this one wished to inform him of the Inkindlers, and how they brought the Awesome mass- relays into the galaxy. This one wished to inform him that they gave us all the gifts of language, space travel, Halo rings, and wild, kinky sex.

This one did then leave that place, and left The Awesome One to mull over this new found knowledge. The Awesome One did then disregard this knowledge of the Inkindlers as an unholy- nay- unAwesome blasphemy, and moved down that dark road.

A road so devoid of Awesomeness that it shuddered and groaned under every step of the Awesome One. The road did attempt to hinder The Awesome One's journey through many nefarious schemes. It did try to make him trip upon many an un-Awesome root, and slip on many a banana peel; but, The Awesome One did not stray from the path of rightiousness and Awesomeness, for he had to reclaim his land fromthe Evil Massuh.

When The Awesome One did reach the end of that path, he came face to face with the one known as The Evil Massuh, and they locked blades of Awesomeness and un-Awesomeness.

The battle raged on for 10 days and 2 hours, culminating in an Awesome move that could almost rival an ULTRA KILL((c)ULTRAJOE), and The Evil Massuh was struck down, and all was well in the land of The Awesome One once more, there were many promiscuous women, and Awesome ninjas and Awesome pirates did live in harmony once again. They did indeed Fornicate Under Command of the King, and made many an Awesome pirate-ninja child.

This event is still celebrated to this day on January 18th, as Awesome Day.

One day, those Awesome pirate-ninja-children did rebel, and escape their tormentors parents. They did flee from the land of Awesome, and did found a cult in the worship of The Evil Massuh. These children grew, and founded a village. They named this village "Sparta.". It was strategically placed so as to make it impossible for The Awesome One to attack. Or The Awesome One would have to risk entrance through The Evil Massah's back door.

The Awesome One did kneel and pray for the ULTRAJOE to aid him and his Awesome people in their time of need (despite differing views in the electoral commity), and to destroy the town of Sparta through their firery gates.

Not to try and claim ownership of a persona...

But i feel like a super smash brothers character, upon sighting a clone.

Nice post though.

I had some un-awseome laughs while reading that xD
I just wanted to answer the question xD
Didin't mean to be un-awesome sorry, but now the un-awesome power has corrupted me muajajaja.

I got CoD4 the day it came out for PC, and played it nonstop for about a month before giving it a rest. I consistently scored in the top ten players on PC, on our clan server. Then my roommate got it for 360. I decided I'd give it a go online, see how it was. I literally reamed people. There were a few decent challengers, but for the most part, I always led the scores. I dunno if it's something about people who play consoles, or something about never changing the sensitivity, or whatever, but it really felt like they were standing still in comparison to me. I remember at least two occasions where everyone actually left the matchmaker after playing a few maps in a row with me. Then I went back to the clan server on PC, and got royally beat down.

But I don't think I necessarily played better on the console. Just that everyone was worse than me.

 

[Dommyboy]

Some people need to realize though, just because say Harvey Norman, Target, K-Mart or whatever are selling a computer for $2800, doesn't make it a good deal. An actual computer dealer, builder will slash the prices for you easily. I got my gaming PC for $1000 and it can run anything I throw at it.
Away from that now, both computers and consoles have their advantages. Though I did just recently sell my 360 as I always prefer computers. I am a lot better at precision aiming with a mouse and the keyboard gives me a sense of control. Unfortunately I get scared shitless and jump so my mouse goes all over the place, so if I play DOOM 3, F.E.A.R or even S.T.A.L.K.E.R, I aint entirely on an advantage.

 

[Aries_Split]

The FragFX controller owns ALL on PS3 shooters. No, shut up. It OWNS.

 

[Asehujiko]

I think the biggest issue with the PC is the customization "advantage" that everyone claims it has. Sure, you can mod your stuff up to be able to do whatever you want, but that can get excessively expensive (the top of the line desktops are, what, $2500?), and, in my case, even if I do get the best possible PC ever, one that could put Gaudi to shame, it's still going to not mean much because I also have to get a brand new desk and make sure it actually properly holds everything in my room.

Why? My desk has almost no room for the mouse, so I /always/ have to set it to 'extremely finicky', which is prone to suckage and failure because even the slightest mouse movement in an FPS will rotate me 540 degrees. It also doesn't help to have gunk build up on the desk which can often cause the [optical] mouse to flip out in the movement detection.

Why is this a problem? Set up Team Fortress 2 (or, hell, ANY recent PC game) to play with just a keyboard and play for a bit. I almost guarantee that you will lose constantly, pretty much proving that mouse control is required.

In other words, it doesn't matter what PC game I play aside from an RTS. I will miss every shot, fail every turn, fall down every bottomless pit, and otherwise suck at everything... UNTIL I plug my PS3 controller into the USB port. Then I can actually play competently, but not until after I set up the control sensitivity to compensate for the different medium, and that's assuming the game even supports "joystick" control to begin with.

Compare all of that stuff I ranted about to a console gaming experience. You have a TV, the console, and your controller. NOTHING else is required, and EVERY game is already set up to work properly with the controller you're using, aside from button layout (WTF, Haze?) and stick sensitivity for FPS games. Everything else in your room has absolutely no bearing on your play experience, aside from the position of your TV, so the "desk" issue I have is irrelevant.

The one thing that may have issues is the TV, since you have resolutions ranging from 480i to 1080p, but there's something else I noticed. Most of the time, when I see someone playing a PC game in 480i (or 640 x 480), it looks like shit, and the only way to make it look better is to jack up the resolution, something which, in the PC's case, drains resources exponentially.

So, yeah. I find that I play a lot better on consoles, and I honestly prefer the simplicity to them, in part because most of the "options" in PC games lead to lag spiky failure in my case.

It's $2500 for an alienware and $500 for exactly the same pc minus the alienware logo. Your tiny desk is your problem, not the pc's. You will suck at consoles too if you don't have emough space to use your analog sticks. Mouse control is required because all pc games are based arround having a mouse, Same goes for consoles and analog sticks, Once again, your failure, not your pc's. And for your whining about screen resolutions, get a decent pc. console games look shit on a 10 year old tv as well.

Stop comparing an insanely crippled pc with a regular console and draw conclusions for there.
PC+Monitor+Mouse+Keyboard+Chair+Desk might be more expensive then Console+Controller but it's alot cheaper then Console+Controller+TV screen+Couch+Something to put your tv on.

An interesting pattern i noticed here however is that people who play consoles and then try to play on a pc tend to get their asses kicked and people who play pc and then switch to consoles tend to become near unstoppable.

 

[Gapperjack]

I own and play games on both. For FPS, I prefer the PC by miles.

The simple truth is that mouse/keyboard is always going to give someone the edge in first person shooters. It's a more natural movement, there's a lot more fine control. You just don't have that level of control with an analogue stick. There's added advantage it's a more natural movement, moving your hand to target the enemies rather than using your finger to guide a reticle. With console FPS, you're one step removed from the experience.

Yeah, methinks its because there's a higher skill level on PC games, so you may need to (SHOCK) run from a fight. Or find another way around, rather than just running in and killing everything.

Wow...didn't the EXACT same guy just explain his post twice in this thread? Who gives a shit what he experienced with his PC? That's his problem, not yours and you don't need to defend his crappy PC. Why do you "PC-Tards" always feel the need to defend the PC wents it's someone elses experience with it, which has nothing to do with you, and then all of a sudden if one person says that a PC can possibly be expensive, which it can (depending on what you do), all of you jump up and provide a list on why that one person is wrong and then list things that are wrong about PC gaming that the person didn't even list.

Do you need a couch to play games? No, I'm comfotable sitting on the floor or maybe getting a kitchen chair for my PC and/or Console.
Do you need to put your TV on something? Depends, mine couldn't be hanged up but I'm sure people could easily hang up their other TVs while I don't know of any monitors.
PCs and Consoles can both cost about the same, but for some reason you PC guys tend to jump up and claim that PCs arn't actually expensive when most Consoles don't have that problem, hell the PS3 is over that "It's expensive!" phase now.

I really don't want to think that most PC-boys are douches as I'm sure there are plenty of nice PC gamers, but I have yet to meet one person who isn't such a big baby about all of the things said about PC gaming and goes on to "disprove" everything and more of what a person said.

But to the real subject, It's much easier on a controller for me, so I guess console. I've played counter-strike on PC and no matter where I point it, wether it be head, body, arm, leg, foot, finger, eyeball, ect...It will just not hit the damn person! It maybe just be my eyes used to being 10ft away, or maybe I'm aiming one tiny pixel to the side, but I know for sure that I would have hit the person if I had a regular controller with or without auto-aim.

 

[flare09]

I played TF2 on my friend's PS3 for about an hour, and I'm really good at it on the PC. It was a little bit odd to get use to the controls, but once I did I was pretty good at it on the PS3. It may have just been me. Or it could have just been that everyone on the PS3 sucks at TF2.

But yeah I do way better on my PC than any console.

 

[sirdiealot88]

Less buttons on a console controller so my limited attention span is able to harness the console shooters better

 

[Darkandroid]

I'm better with a console. I've never really had a good enough PC to be able to play many PC games so I mainly stick to consoles. I'm more used to the console layout so I'm therefore better with that.

 

[MagikMystery]

I'm much much better on a PC, at least for FPSs, I just really don't like the joysticks on controllers.

 

[wewontdie11]

I cannot play FPS' on a PC to save my life, I'm a complete retard when it comes to mouse and keyboard. I have tried, and failed horribly to play a multitude of PC shooters but found none of them as good or fun as on my 360.

It just feels to alien and unintuitive to me.

I attempted playing CS on a friends PC and spent what little time I was alive mostly looking at walls and strafing down corridors not looking where I was going.

Funny, seeing as I have yet to meet a console user who is above the age of 15 and isn't immature as hell.

Anyways, I preform better online with a PC. Mouse and keyboard a much more precise controls.

Though, to tell you the truth, I honestly don't do to bad at console FPS either. I really don't play Halo 3 a bunch, but me and my other PC native friends do pretty well online. I think this is because you run into many more casual FPS players on consoles than you do on PC.

Touche, who is this immature console user? I'll knock some sense into him/her and get him/her to stop being an idiot.

 

[Danny Ocean]

This isn't a which is better, it's a which are you better with thread. Ok?

OK!

 

[fix-the-spade]

it seems like a week of playing TF2 on my ps3 made me an awesome player, but on counter strike on my pc I still feel like an average player after playing for one year, because there is always someone better than me. so do you do better when you play on you're PC or console?

Please for the love all that's holy, type in the English language! Or at least a closer approximation of it.

Back on topic.
I certainly perform better on the pc, it's probably got something to do with the mouse being more precise for twitchy fingers than the control stick.
