| Raistline said: So at a family re-union this weekend I got into a debate with a hardcore X-box phreak about Console FPS VS. PC FPS. It kind of went like this.. Family member: "Consoles are way better for FPS, they are more challenging. Using a Keyboard and mouse is like cheating. Anyone can move a mouse around to point at someone and kill them. The controller is way better" Me: "Are you kidding me, FPS belongs on the PC. How is it like cheating because you are more accurate. Since you are more accurate so is everyone else who is skilled and it makes the skill level variance larger." It basically went back and forth like this with my points and counterpoints and so on. *edit: took out Halo comment* I, as a huge PC gamer do believe the KB+M is the superior format for FPS for many reasons. I will be happy to give you all the reasons if you just ask. So here I am. That little debate I had got me wondering what other people think on the issue. So, what do you guys think. Is the KB+M the superior format for FPS games? If so, I would like to hear your reason. If you think a console controller is somehow better, I would like to hear those arguments as well. Let's try to keep this civil and without trolling. Also let's keep the subject on FPS games only. I know that there are many games to which KB+M is the worse choice. |
The next time your family member goes driving, suggest that he drives with 3 flat tires, it is more challenging. Using all four tires is like cheating. After all, anyone can drive with 4 tires.
More seriously, just because you have a keyboard and mouse doesn't mean you instantly have perfect accuracy. Everyone has the keyboard and mouse, and therefore everyone is on a level playing field.
