Who even buys this game on a console? This game will be huge in the US, cus those guys are the only ones who take their console FPS games serious.

Bold words. There are 3.85 million people in Europe that would disagree with you though.

 

Didnt say europe wouldnt buy the game at all, think it will go big there aswell, but not as big as in the US. I think the US will eat it up like starving dogs. And the US is by far the only country who plays console FPS competetive and are damn proud about it.

Everyone else are just public heros playing the game for fun, but with a desire to win offcourse, who wants to lose!?. But a serious gamer would get this on a PC.

Uuuhm.... NO

 Uuuhm.... YES

Not much of a competetive scene compared to the PC side now is it?

*facepalm*

Just because the PC is more popular in Europe than the HD consoles and thus could create a competitive gaming scene doesn't mean console owners aren't serious gamers. Infact I AM a serious gamer and I'll buy Modern Warfare 2 for 360.

And I know MANY people who bought CoD4 on PC because they want to play it single-player only or multiplayer just for fun.

 So let me ask you. What makes you a serious gamer? And why would you chose to play the game on a console rather than a PC?

I don't play it just for fun. I want to dominate the game in every possible way and what's more embarassing than beating FPS on their hardest difficulty with "oh so inferior" analog controllers ? I'm also trying to get every possible achievement on a game I like and that makes me a serious gamer and this is at the same time the reason why I'll get the 360 version.

You talked about a serious gamer, which Onyxmeth already pointed out is not the same as a professional gamer.

As a spectator to this arguement, I'm not exactly sure what the posting of these websites are trying to prove...they don't seem to either prove your arguement any more or disprove his...



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

 (1)A serious gamer would be the kind of player that thinks he'd get the most out of a FPS game if he could play it with a mouse instead of a stick, since it give you superior aim. (2)And a serious gamer within the FPS genre, would be the guy that competes against other serious gamers for cash prices. SO.. the one that buys a game like this on a console are either US residence or like to play around with their friends in public servers with his/her thompson.

(1) Why? Do you have something to prove this with? I've seen some very good, competitive players playing Street Fighter IV on Xbox 360 using a gamepad. Sub that in for PS3 also. However, if those players were "serious gamers" in your mind, they would have invested in the best way to play the game control wise, which means buying a 10 thousand dollar arcade machine right?

(2) A professional gamer plays for cash prizes. That is what the term "professional" means when in connection with competitive sports. "Serious" is never used in connection to this. Look it up.

 

 

1.  Well no.. since last i checked SF wasnt a FPS.
2. Well no.. since you're just talking semantics.

1. You're right. It's not an FPS. It's a far more competitive series with a richer history, in a genre known more for it's competitive nature than FPS is. It gives my point far more meaning.

2. So if I'm just talking semantics, then that must mean you really meant professional gamer and serious gamer are interchangeable terms, so you're actually talking about professional gamers. In that case, read SamuelIRSmith's post above mine. That should end this quickly.

 

Haha.. aah i dont even know why i try.

1 .. how in gods name does that have anything to do with me questioning why one would buy COD on a console? I think sports are more competetive than videogames, but that dosent really give my point far mor meaning now does it??! I really dont get where you're coming from. Are you on drugs?

2. Ive already answerd his post. And yes, it ende quite quickly.

I get that, and i respect that. But i do recall that i posted my definition of a serious gamer about two pages back, before all this hit the fan. So dont come flaming me about this shizznit. So if i got this straight, a serious gamer is a nerd as to a professional gamer who competes for money?

In the end sales of this game to non-"serious" gamers will vastly exceed the sales to these so called "serious" gamers and thats what actually matters. Sales - doesn't matter who you are, a sales a sale to the developer and publisher.



Playing: InFamous, Super Robot Taisen OG Saga, Modern Warfare 2
