Forums - Gaming Discussion - FPS haters due to dual analog control!

Shinlock said:
I have cod4 and cod5 on PC, purely because the control system is easier. however I got R6:Vegas on ps3, and while the analog stick took a while to get use too, the cover system and slow gameplay helped negate the negative aspects of the control system.

My personal rule, which is for me only, is if the game is multiplatform and has a pc version, grab it on pc, else grab it on console.

Wii FPS controls, I haven't tried yet but I can't see anything really bad about it based on what I've heard. maybe I should pick up metroid prime soon hehe.

Yeah, generaly I do the same :)

Dual analog FPS controls is one of the best things that happened to console gaming. EVER. People are spoiled by innovative Wii controls. Just a few days ago people were complaining about RE5 having clunky controls compared to RE4 Wii version.
Put the aspect of Wii FPS aside. Imagine controlling FPS games without both analog sticks. It will be bad.Bad like it was in the old days.
Are you saying you hate Dual analog controls because Wii FPS controls are superior ? Or did you hate FPS games because of Dual Analog controls but now like them because of new controls ?



I play FPS with the dated analog sticks and with the Wii mote and I must say I have never really enjoyed FPS as much as I do on the Wii. It feels natural and allows for faster more precise game play. It just makes it more fun and some people will never admit it.

Maybe Wii's fps looks a bit worse than ps2's but with superior controls game gains entirely new dimension... but new dimension of what? This argument is getting older and older. Why noone plays shooters on wii then?

I wonder how many multiplatform gamers decided to pick up copy of CoD:WaW Wii over X360's or PS3's. I say lol. Dual stick isn't a perfect solution - sure but it's good enough to secure comfortable gaming. Personally I prefer to sit  (lay) on the sofa than hump over 17" monitor despite fact mouse/keyboard is much smoother combination.

Well, no they don't lulz!!!

 

And people don't play FPS on the Wii because we ware waiting for the Conduit. CoD5 is doing good also, but FPS's on the Wii already didn't got that Halo and Killzone status...

Like there's no platformer or casual game in x360 that is worth mentioning...

Second option.

 

Also Super Mario 64 was the best game that could break into the 3D gaming ever... But as soon that Dreamcast came out it turned a bit old and dated... Dual Analog was a good improvement back in N64 and Goldeneye days.... N64!

Another thing. You think the Conduit will sell Halo/Killzone levels? No, it'll be lucky to cross 2 million. Wii owners are not waiting for an FPS, because the large majority of Wii owners strongly dislike FPS. Look at World at War. The PS3 version's sold 5 times as much as the Wii version, the 360 version 7 times as much.

Hmm...

I have Red Steel for the Wii and COD4 for both HD systems. I have to go with the dual sticks, because Red Steel was horrible. After playing that game, I don't know how people could think the Wii is best for FPS's.

is the conduit even out yet?? and if its not out...how can you like its controls?!?

personally, i thought metroid prime 3 controlled like garbage. the whole game wasnt very good imo.

IGN stated that metroid prime 3 is the best FPS ever in consoles in terms of controls. Later seconded by Medal of Honor Heroes 2. In a preview they say that the conduit's gameplay is an improved version of Medal of Honor... So we can assume safely that it will have the best controls ever...

 

And ok, you're a Wii Hater, I don't expect more than this from you lulz!

 

 

And so it begins.

 

WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH but but but IGN said so! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH sob.

Seriously, any chance of you being able to formulate your own opinion and that being enough. What IGN says doesn't mean SHIT. How can one persons opinion be factual and anothers not (if you count one as being fact, and treat a differing opinion as not being of the same value).

Sure if you said, I think conduit and MP3 (thus the wii mote) is the best FPS control scheme around, but nope you had to quote IGN like they were the Gods of gaming and highly credible.


Personally, I liked MP3's controls, but I would say CoD4 is a much better game (Half-Life 1 or 2 takes my best FPS ever vote) all round.

By the way, my personal opinion for FragFX is that it's on the same level as hacks or glitch-bitching (entourage FTW), it puts you at a distinct advantage over someone of the same skill level and chances are you still aren't very good at the game even with it (hence why you bought it). If you want to use mouse and keyboard, stick to PC, no need to infest the console waters with your antics.

I may have been a bit harsh in my post, but seriously:

1) What was the point of your post? what were you expecting to get out of it?

2) Your "Because IGN said so" post is my most hated fanboy trait on these forums. Formulate your own opinion and stand by it, you don't need "proof" to back up an OPINION. I hate it when people start quoting IGN, like when MGS4 was said to have the best graphics because it got a 10 in graphics on IGN. Ocarina of time also got a 10, does that mean MGS4 and Ocarina of time look the same? NO. So when they say MP3 has the best console FPS, they mean FOR THEM, NOT FOR ME and definitely NOT FOR EVERYONE ALWAYS.
