That would be stupid. Because mice are more accurate. What about "I like x thing better because I enjoy it more" triggers all of your broke brains to just start saying "objectively objectively objectively"

Not having to interact with PC gamers is the best reason to play games on console.

I like that this victorianqueerlit guy is still hung up on me being some huge Nintendo fanboy because I didn't back up his bs statement about Mario odessy being the worst game of all time. :lol:

The Steam Controller is a hell of a cool idea and would probably have revolutionized control schemes if it had come out fifteen years ago.

Motion controls are really, really good in some contexts, like precision aim in Zelda or Splatoon.

Mega Man X4 is very nearly the best of the series, second only to X1.

Both Guilty Gear and BlazBlue are good.

Ah yes, truly the console peasant has escaped hell on earth by choosing to play on overpriced and inferior hardware that's successfully marketed at children. With thay age range skewing at least 10+ years younger than a pc audience and more often into into minor age ranges. Truly you must live as if in nirvana by playing inferior versions of handicapped games made worse on purpose to fit console specs for inferior hardware as you fall into a zen trance and touch divinity you heavenly dolt.

Hey man, I liked Nintendo as a kid and still like many of their first party games but not enough to vuy that poo poo or deal with a bunch of snot nosed children. fanboy or not, you're more or less admitting to enjoying playing games with young boys with absentee parents. Dont tell me console players don't skew younger because as i grew the gently caress up i began to notice the number of squeakers calling each other racial and homophobic words only rose and rose. The quality of the average pc gamer has always been a typically boring college kid, or a slightly stupid idiot unwinding after work. Of course that might be insufferable if your intent is to prey on people's children with an encyclopedic knowledge of Nintendo.

Tell me, do you also like Star Trek TNG and do you solicit those "intellectual superiors" of pc gamers for friend requests and phone numbers? Maybe their kiks and snap chays so you can talk about "mario" and "sonic"?

So yeah forgive me for writing a full thesis when a couple of sentences may have sufficed when describing how you just admitted to preferring the company of young children over adults.

Tell me which Buddhist heavenly plane is the one where you get to hit on young boys while calling you the N word as you go on a tirade obsessing about Mario again?

Sorry man but your case for liking console players is loving creepy.

Lol these console wars are some serious poo poo. I play console because the only functional human beings i know who play games only have consoles so thats what i play. I have games on my pc but im seriosuly the only person i have ever met that plays games on their computer. There are definetly a bunch of shithead kids but if we are making accusations like console players are child molesters i would just counter that pc players are a subspecies that dies in the sunlight or has been made up whole cloth i dunno.

I used to love PC gaming, but since MOBAS and PUBG clones have taken over the multiplayer scene I bought a PS4 and have had much more fun playing online multiplayer games. There's almost no hacking or cheating, I don't randomly lag, and even though everyone is crying about aim-assist, console multiplayer games provide a more fair experience to the players by normalizing control schemes and control devices.

Where on PC you might face some guy with a 21 button, 1mil dpi setting razer mouse, on console everyone is using the same controllers with the same capabilities, so for the most part everyone is on even ground. Not to mention playing with a gamepad in games like Tekken, Rocket League, and GTA is much more satisfying than a tactless M + K.

Molyneux' Black and White could have been pretty drat good without the bullshit influence radius stuff.

Also the only implementation of console fps that doesn't make me want to die while playing it is the Metroid Prime Series. loving nailed it control scheme-wise.

I recently tried Pokémon Black, and it was mind numbing. So slow, so repetitive, so grindy (the fact that the Pokémon I saw had lazy designs pales in comparison to the tedious gameplay). I don't know what I expected from a JRPG, I should have known better, but I remembered having a good time playing Red as a kid.

Somebody told me that Pokemon B&W was a totally revamped Pokemon game with gameplay innovations and a proper plot aimed at an older audience. That was the most owned I've ever been in my entire life.

Consoles are an outdated relic of a bygone era when processing power was sparse and expensive and you needed a dedicated machine to play games that were graphically intensive but now consoles are just shittier PCs and Nintendo are the only manufacturers that understand that a console should offer a unique experience that you can't get by just plugging a controller into a computer

PC is a bygone relic of when you actually had to have a computer to play decent games. Now no one gives a gently caress about them because it's an expensive waste of time. It's a wasteland of turbo nerds and teenage Youtubers.

I love the controller but the discs just don't work as intended. The left one is refried rear end with a side of rear end if you try to use it as a D-Pad, and the right one only kind-of works as a substitute for a mouse cursor or camera.

Some games work amazing if you only need one joystick for all movement (the Sexy Brutale works like a dream)... But for literally everything else I use my old 360 controller.

Also some of y'all are seriously dumb if you think a PC gamer with half a brain doesn't have a controller.

So is K+M an inferior way to play games now that we have touch screens and VR headsets that provide even better accuracy? Since control is defined by how fast we can click on things apparently? Why use a mouse when you can just tap on something or look at it?

nah man I used to think this exact same stuff and then i did twenty minutes of research on how to configure it better and it owns. i mean like, i run mega man games from the legacy collections using the left disc as a d-pad, you just need to set some tolerances for diagonal input

it's got a learning curve sure but the sheer adaptability is completely unparalleled
