You seem to miss the point. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean they don't have it.

AMEN, BROTHA!

Actually I prefer consoles. Better gameplay. To each his own.

Then you must live under a rock, because I've seen in pretty much every computer store I go to and every catalog that I look in has cordless keyboards, and this was over 2 years ago, mind you.

Even without that, there ARE joypads and loysticks for PCs as well.

In any case, the type of control for whatever means of playing is irrelevant. What matters is the games themselves and the content in them.

Better gameplay? In what way?

(I don't mean to start a war here...)

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 04-29-2003, 10:16 PM

A Joypad beats a mouse and Keyboard. A TV beats a monitor. The Games that come out for consoles are generally more gameplay heavy than PC games. And have more interactivity and more variety. Also I love the conveniece of just popping in the disk or cartrige (both Disks and carts rock!) instead of harddrives and all that "Install" crap. I hate having to install things on a harddrive.(I hope X-Box and PS2's harddrives aren't used like that, I'm glad Gamecube isn't a harddrive system). And, that wonderful console smell that brings me right back to childhood.

PCs have their charm too though. Cross-compatibility, Non-gaming uses, better for online games. I just prefer console games. (And Arcade!)

So why do you prefer PC?

Yeah console all the way. With a console you KNOW all the games will work. Computers are just too much hassle with installing programs and what not. As far as gameplay goes....well I'd like to see any computer game beat out Super Mario Bros.

It pretty much a matter of opinion. I use my PC to play games like Rainbow six: Raven shield, and conosles for beat em ups RPG's and things like that. Like I said before, I prefer playing games like this on my couch with a big TV screen and sound coming from Stereo system.

Of course it's a matter of opinion, and all we're doing is discussing our opinions in a mature way. This could set an example to the people who can't stop arguing.

*Eye of Sarnath* · 04-30-2003, 02:01 PM

You're all just in denial! None of you know how obviously superior the PC is to consoles! PCs can do everything a console can, plus some!

but if the controller hurts your hand to use, and some buttons are too hard to reach, and the cord is too short, or the rumble feature is too strong, or the controller is too heavy, it can take away from the gameplay big time.

On the other hand, on a computer, you have several choices for controllers.

Oh, and the wireless technology? the SNES had REALLY crappy third-party RF controllers. They sucked, but they were there.

I'm personaly a Console gamer. Computer games tend to get kinda bland for me (so do some console games though). Its also a lot easier for me to pack up my Gamecube and take it with me than it would be to pack up the computer and take it with me.

Sarnath, you great Dill! This is an intelligent discussion. Don't attack the other people's viewpoint and, state your frickin' reasons!
Be more mature like Reznorite, and GWGTrunks, etc.

*Eye of Sarnath* · 04-30-2003, 04:00 PM

I don't know why you just won't let me enjoy myself. It's not like I'm actually serious.

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 04-30-2003, 04:03 PM

OK then.

*Eye of Sarnath* · 04-30-2003, 04:04 PM

Good.

~~Tokka-B~~ · 04-30-2003, 04:05 PM

I'd never use a keyboard to play a game, there are keys you can accidentally press that aren't even in the game, whereas console controllers they make it fit for your hand and all of the buttons are necessary...Good controls in the game make a HUGE difference, because if the game has great gameplay but you can't even control it without reading a million instruction guides and practicing for hours, then the game is awful...hence why most NES games ruled, there was just the d-pad and 2 buttons, with a learning curve of about 3 seconds....Of course if the game was boring then the controls wouldn't be the problem.....Most computers can't even keep up with a solid 60 frames/sec....

*Eye of Sarnath* · 04-30-2003, 04:08 PM

Out of curiosity: are you aware that you can use console controllers with computers?

~~Tokka-B~~ · 04-30-2003, 04:10 PM

depends on the comp, depends on the controller.

*Eye of Sarnath* · 04-30-2003, 04:11 PM

True.

**Karpo_007** · 04-30-2003, 04:22 PM

If you want to play the best games, PC is not enough. I own powerfull PC, PS2 and Gamecube. Like I have said before, wich is bet´st depends on the game. Platformers and beat em ups are definetly better on console. Especially if you want to play games with friends.

But for First person shooters, and strategy games PC is a must. Consoles cannot, atleast yet, run an online game that could hold 64 players. So for me it always depends on the game.
