Can you play as Axis? :)

[lazyscoutjedi]

Does anyone play Supreme Commander?

[Sir Finkus]

I'm pretty much a pc guy. Morrowind is probably my favorite game of all time.

I also play Hl2:dm quite a bit, I'm pretty good at it too.

I don't know why so many people are strictly pc =/

Some of the games are fun, but it's just much better with a controller in your hand. Especially evident in this new generation of games coming out, The Wii Controller, SIXAXIS controller for ps3, etc. etc.

Sure the PCs have emulators, but it's not the saaaaame xD lol

I disagree... Controllers fit well for some things, especially for action and adventure games, but PCs dominate in their control schemes for several genres. Shooters, RTSs, and pretty much anything with a really complex set of controls, the PC's sheer number of keys gives it an advantage. When consoles start using keyboard/mice more widely or PCs begin to come up with some more standardization in controllers, only then will one legitimately outdo the other.

PCs also have the advantage of mods. Oblivion is a fantastic new example, as PC gamers have it made with Oblivion on account of its incredibly modding community. It may be a fun game on PS3 or X360, but in comparison to the PC version it's decidedly gimped.

As for the new motion sensors, I'm still not sold. The Wii has yet to really impress me and the SIXAXIS has done virtually nothing done with it.

I don't play games exclusively on the PC, but I find that the majority of my gaming time is devoted to PC games, which could admittedly just be my taste in games (FPS FTW)

[Loreanie]

Yeah but not everyone loves first Person Shooters! sure they look nice and all, but the casual gamer isn't going to want to pick that up and start killiing things xD

Like I said, the next gen consoles are expanding gaming control schemes like the Wii remote. Whether the Wii impresses you or not, it's still revolutionary. It's unique, new and bring something different to the gaming industry, Have you even played either? Wario Ware and Wii Sports with friends are some of the most fun I've ever had with friends playing games.

I respect you PC man, but we agree to disagree xD

@loreanie: Mod a card/ the controller it can be the same then XD

[Loreanie]

Mod a card? what?

and noo I don't wanna! lol

I hate the you have to keep upgrading video cards and adding ram for a lot of the top games. Some of the video cards are as expensive, or close to the PS3 o_o

That is quote-worthy.

Yeah, some gamers prefer sitting on a sofa with a controller in their hands, some prefer the speed and precision and number of keys of a mouse/keyboard combo. I like both, depending on the situation. I've been playing Prince of Persia a lot recently. I have sands of time and warrior within on PC and the two thrones on console. It plays so much better with a controller.

Still, no reason you can't hook a game controller up to a PC and use that.

[Loreanie]

I said casual gamer! I like a good FPS every now and then! I loved Goldeneye back on the N64 that was a ton of fun xD

I've tried using one of the USB to PS2 controller type hookups and they always seem kinda glitchy. maybe I' just have a crappy computer

[moomoo]

Logitech makes PC controllers that are pretty much EXACT copies of PS2 controllers. No need to fuss with converters and whatnot if that's what you meant.

[ForGreatJustin]

I use Ye olde 360 pad, works like a charm.

But I dont use it on FPS, real FPS player use mouse and keyboard haha, just kidding people that use pads.
