EPTIt makes no sense to have baseball players play with softball players while adhering to their rules. It would be murder. Same goes with kbm vs pads. Sadly that's the reason why most consoles fps don't support it even though they have the hardware capabilities.

And yes there is clearly the better way of doing things (baseball way of pitching, which can be upto double the speed. And yes kb+m is undisputably better.). Yet someone who can throw a 100mph fastball isn't gonna be guranteed to excel when playing softball.

Besides I was talking about a thread on this site, not general population. So the fact the it is a PC site becomes all the more relevant. I said the argument was stupid. You started arguing about that. Calm down. if that's all your saying then you should be more careful what you say unless you like people disagreeing with you for being wrong "As far as I'm concerned this whole argument is PC elitists vs. anyone else who thinks different." is very different than what you said, and I don't think I've done anything to indicate I'm not calm, perhaps you're the one who needs to relax | ||

But I, as someone who has played CS and Q3 cpm on a very high level would never ever come even close to the idea of playing those 2 games with a pad, that would be absolutely ridiculous. Only shooter where it actually works pretty well is Gears of War, but that's and exception and can be traced to GoW being very console optimized because of it's movement limitations through the cover-system (which is awesome btw.) and it's pretty slow pace in general. Still the hardware-skillcap for shooter games will always exist on a console and I really can't enjoy those games because of the given reasons. | ||

Controls being the primary reason some game genres are terrible for consoles, you would think console developers would be all over an idea like that. Third parties have done so before but not with the support of any console company. It's funny that consoles are increasingly realizing they can mimic most of the functionality of a computer (online play, online markets, hddvd/blu ray capability, etc). Consoles are effectively pre-built pcs, the main difference being that they run on an OS that significantly... limits what you're allowed to do. The reasons to keep consoles limited in functionality are pretty greedy (total control over your gaming experience, illusion that piracy is harder, etc). All of the consoles are basically the same at this point. You only need one of the two better systems to play all of the relevant interesting games anyway. | ||

Shooting at targets is sooo much easier on the pc since it's easy to be accurate, but the overall experience of the game was different. The pc keyboard combo doesn't give me the same experience as playing with a controller. It could be from the fact that I'm just used to it, but movement feels so...plain. With the controller you move differently. Now I have played KOTOR on the computer and on the PC and I definitely enjoyed that on the PC more, but I wasn't physically targeting with my mouse. Idk, both are good for different things. I'm sure there are games where fps on the pc is better and vice versa. | ||
