I have tried once again to play games on Xbox360 & PS3 and FOR ME, nothing can beat the precise/fast control of a regular PC keyboard and a sensitive Logitech MX500+ type of mouse with a Windows based PC.
Ah, your just showing your age.  It takes an new skill set to have that kind of accuracy with a console controller. When you have no auto aim and take a game like Gears of War you can refine your skills to no scope head shots with the accuracy of a mouse. There is a learning curve to get that level of refinement burned into your subconscious mind so it just becomes a natural reflex. Once you nail it you are as accurate as what you proposed. I thought the same thing too initially since I was raised on PC FPS's but after putting an effort in to show my 12 year old you can teach an old dog new tricks, I got to a point of accuracy I didn't think I would ever achieve. The benefit is you can play side by side in a console set up. PC is pretty well a one man show except for your other networked opponents. Halo 3 baby! but I think GoW is probably in my all time favourite console games at this juncture. Hard to see even Halo 3 beating that game for me. H3 is currently under evaluation  |
