Sorry, mouse+keyboard is a lot better than wiimote. But of course you can have your opinion. ;)

 

It goes without saying that we're all entitled to our own opinions, but a good argument is more than that.

In my OP, I tried to argue why my opinion is correct, so: why do you think that mouse & keyboard is a lot better than a Wiimote?

 

Because it is more accurate, not to mention that you can use centered crosshair. It is quite amusing that some people actually consider holding a plastic thingy being closer to shooting an actual gun. Oh please. :)

 

Uh... it is.  Don't try to argue that holding and physically aiming your 'gun' isn't closer to the real thing than turning it with an analog stick.  It's a self-defeating argument.

 

Analog stick? I guess this was about mouse and keyboard. Of course you can use your imagination and think that you are actually holding a gun or something instead of wiimote, but that is just... sad. It is just as "realistic" as a mouse.

 

1. the same holds true for a mouse.  Actually aiming something at a screen absolutely trumps pushing your hand around on a single axis, in regards to realism and immersion.  If you read the OP, he didn't say it was more accurate.

More accurate!=better

2. Yes, how DARE we use our 'imagination' when playing a 'game'!  What morons we are for getting 'immersed' in what are supposed to be 'immersive' experiences.

@Kyros: You really need to play a game like Metroid Prime 3 or Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 before you judge.  It's far, far more immersive to play while actually aiming something.
