Out of Pod Experience

about 10 minutes ago? And ... every single day for the past 20 years?

The real reason its PS3 Only:

360: Microsoft's terms restricts CCP's ability to even implement their idea. I bet CCP initially wanted to do both consoles and realized they simply COULDNT because of microsoft's own restrictions.

PC: imagine playing an FPS on your controller.... against a player on a PC. You'll get owned every time. A mouse has the ability to turn your character instantly, while on a controller you have to hold the joystick to the right and wait untill your view swings around. Also the PC has tons of keys on its keyboard, its just a significant advantage, and PS3 Dust'ers will simply end up losing most of the time to the PC users.

In addition to that, Consider CCP's primary goal: to expand their audience. They've already latched onto the hardcore PC gamers, they're trying to target the Console players.


So essentially, the 360 removed itself as an option, and the PC was left out because of the target demographic and balance/fairness issues. Its unfortunate about the 360, but ... thats microsoft for you.




The same PS3/360 politics goes on in the PC world between Valve's STEAM and EA's ORIGIN.

Valve's Steam requires the publisher to push its patches strictly through via Steam's service, and they have to PAY for that. EA (and other companies) like full control of their software, and patch system.

and dont get me wrong, Im not an EA fanboy. Thats just what companies do. The reason Steam even exists is because Valve didnt want to pay EA, their competition, for publishing its content. Its understandable from a business viewpoint, but sucks for the gamers.

I was with you until you said two things.

1) Consoles are less hackable than PCs.

No sir.

Really. No. This is just false. In the most popular FPSs on consoles, there are

2) Top gamers shouldn't dominate.

Top gamers should be rewarded for their skills. Catering to casuals is pretty commonly done nowadays, but everytime its done in an MMOFPS, it fails. Whether its pay-to-win, a lack of locational damage, whatever. They die. Shooters are one genre where you either learn to move you mouse faster, or you deserve to die. It keeps competition fresh and alive, and it's why some older shooters continue to be played to this day.

Sorry if you disagree, sorry if this is offpoint to what you're suggesting. It's a sore subject. (Why did you have to be so bad, APB?! And you too, Global Agenda!)

...and yeah, the second one doesn't really have much to do with playing on a console vs PC, but the mentality is infuriating.

/me hops back on BF2142 for PC weeeee

I'm actually in-between games of Tribes

And in response you repeat comments over and over.

That said, this is an improvement on the OMFG CSM MITTANI GOONS NULLSEC threads.

As a PC gamer, The whole 360 vs PS3 thing is funny tbh.

My very first videogame was a Colecovision. I went through the c64 and nintendo and all those goodies too, so im not limited to PC experience only.

The reason its funny is i see all the 'good' ps3/360 games available on the open, upgradable PC, too.

The only exclusive games i can think of, that i wanted to play... Uncharted, and LA Noir (but LA Noir is on PC as well now!)

So while all of you are fighting over 360vsPS3, all the hardcore gamers are playing those games on the PC and know if you're going to buy a console, buy a Wii =) It has the most, and the best, platformer and 'exclusive' games.

You just cant beat Mario yo!

As a gamer who has run their way trough Golden Eye, THE FIRST DEUS EX on PC, and just about every major RTS, FPS, And MMO (HALO,COD,KillZone,WOW,Runscape,warcraft1,2,3, Sarcraft1,2 Dioblo ect) i have to say that of all of them DUST looks like a new type of game that needs to be introduced if just to make a market for such games.

That aside i do pay EVE and it has tought me more about thinking ahead than any other game(Mind my profile its so new it shines). Dust looks like its going to teach that same forthought to the younger FPS crowed and while id love to get in the middle of a mouse v controler argument. FPS's is usualy about suprize a mouse may give you a slight edge but most of the time you never see the guy that kills you. As for hypeing up on redbull or MDew never tried it and at 20 im still cleaning the snot of 11 and 12 year old brats who do caffeen out.

As for the word on PS3 vs 360 it realy isnt a big problem once microsoft sees the mistake it made(think FF13-2 people it just came out for both when FF used to just be for the PS consels) WE WILL GET DUST FOR 360.

The BF's make me a sad panda. A patch for 2142 made my computer deem it a virus and as I didn't want to reinstall it for the 5th time it became lost for eternity. I started playing BF2 and was doing great for 2 months and then punkbuster decided to go fascist on me. I've personally have added nothing new but hell if I can stay in a game for more than 20 seconds.

OP's arguments are garbage, seeing as xbox live had no problem working cross platform with PC server with shadowrun, and the whole thing of the mouse and keyboard somehow being harder to use is junk too - because DUST will support mouse and keyboard on the PS3.

Also heavily laden with fanboyism.

But, the general points are solid.

Oh look, it's this thread again.jpg



Less hacks on console.
Console can support keyboard/mouse.
lol business deals
