Reason #5: Cheaper-- They show a picture of Diner Dash, Cubis 2, Solitaire, and other crap games. Those don't really count.
Reason #4 Controls-- Oh, I get it, satire!
Reason #3 Old games -- Oh wait, they're serious now?
Reason #2 Online WoW -- meh
Reason #1-- Satire again!
Yeah, I don't see myself embracing PC gaming any time soon.

You don't honestly think a normal console controller is better for a FPS or RTS do you?
|
Why yes I do actually (well not for RTS, but I haven't played an RTS in 7 or 8 years so I don't care so much).
|
In what regard? I used to be a pure-console gamer myself until maybe 3 years ago. I find console controllers both more difficult to use/less precise and less enjoyable. Mouse + keyboard allows for much quicker movements, and the gameplay is changed for the better for me. I didn't know anyone felt otherwise. With the Wii, you might be able to make the argument that it's more enjoyable, but that's debatable at best, and there's no denying mouse + keyboard is king when it comes to performance.

Are you trying to tell me my opinion is wrong?

Hell I will take that challenge. I would say that your opinion is wrong. I frequently play both Console shooters and PC ones and can play both farely well frequently getting 15 kill streaks in MAG. However there is just no denying that a mouse can beat both an anolgue stick and for the time being a wii remote. The wii remote still hows it's flaws with most games with aiming and still has a slight stutter, however it does have the potential to be better.
What standard controllers provide a bonus for is the analogue stick for movement purposes. If i could take the wii nunchuk and combine it with a mouse that would the best control method I could think of.
Lets take another genre. Hypotheticlly if you could clone the worlds greatest street fighter player and have them play against eachother one using a DualShock, the other using a 360 controller. The one using the ps3 would win. The 360 D-Pad just sucks. Going back to controllers again, well use me as an example as i can use both really damn good. If you could clone me and had one of me using a mouse and the other using a Dualshock. 9/10 the one of me using the mouse will get that kill. Movement and precision with a mouse is way more accurate then a analogue stick to aim with.
Does this mean you will play better with a mouse? Right now. Maybe, maybe not, but most likely so since you're probably so use to using a controller. It's like using Wacom tablet for art. Hard at first, but once you get it down you don't want to go back.

Read the rest of the thread. :-p
(also, I know someone who kicks serious ass in SFIV with the 360 controller, even against people with fight sticks)

They do have left handed mouses and keyboards. I'm using an ambidextrious mouse :P
Also though i do agree with the keyboard. I'm pretty much a pro mouse guy. I would like the nunchuck and mouse combine...seriously epic glory there.
