You a console boy? If so, I don't talk to console boys. Even if you have a PC and use a gamepad, you are a console boy in my opinion.
So no more talk. Enjoy your console world.
I don't think it's necessary to put down other PC gamers who want to enjoy the game, whether they prefer the mouse+kb or a controller for a certain genre of gaming is irrelevant. We all have our preferences. To imply that one is always better than the other is ignorance. If you are willing to miss this game because you hate gamepads that much, it's your loss really. Let's not project your preferences for M+K at all times onto others now.
Who is the moron here? :whiste: Why not just get a console instead of trying to make your PC into one?
Dark Souls on the PC has new content compared to the console versions, which is going to be released for the consoles at a later time as a paid DLC. Also, the graphics with the Durante mod fix are far superior to the console counterparts. Just because some games work better with a controller, doesn't mean it's still not preferable to play them on a console. To me Batman, Mass Effect, Dead Space all work better with a controller. I am not going to go out and buy a console to have inferior graphics to play those games. You seem to have strong aversion for consoles, but keep in mind that if Dark Souls wasn't developed for consoles in the first place, we probably wouldn't even have this game ever. Also, since game development has become very costly nowdays, it's fair to say that the only way blockbuster titles are manageable from a profitability perspective is because the developers/publishers can sell them across various entertainment devices, and that often includes the Xbox360/PS3 and PC. Games such as Battlefield series, Batman series, Mass Effect series, Dead Space series, Borderlands, the entire GTA series, etc. probably wouldn't even be possible if the developers only launched them on the PC. Even Crytek said they barely made any $ with Crysis 1. It was done to get their name out there and they only started to make real money with Crysis 2. Crysis 3 wouldn't be possible based on Crysis 1 sales alone. There isn't enough of a customer base on the PC to justify the current development and marketing costs for most games outside of strategy, MMOs and the top FPS games. Thus, you should be grateful that consoles even exist to allow us to enjoy these wonderful games. While I still prefer PCs, I don't bash consoles just because they use controllers of kids play them (along with adults), because I realize they are important from an economical point of view and their larger customer base is critical for the development of future games outside of MMOs, strategy games and Sims.
This is the PC gaming part of the forum. There is no room for people using console controllers for their PC in this part of the forum. They should instead head over to the
console part of the forum to discuss their console controllers, along with the rest of the console boys.
Or have I missed anything here? :whiste:
So if I am gaming on a 37 inch screen with a controller and enjoying PC graphics, while using X-FI Platinum vs. you, stuck using a budget TN ASUS VK266H monitor with crappy onboard sound, I am a console fanboy? I'll take it over your 'hardcore' PC setup. I didn't know that if a PC gamers uses a large screen or a controller he is automatically a console fanboy. You should add that definition to urbandictionary.com.
Most of us have moved past the control issues already by playing with a 360 controller. It's the superior input method for this game. Deal with it. If you refuse to play a game because of your silly aversion to gamepads, then that's entirely your loss. I have never seen someone so incredibly narrow-minded that they can't understand how different controllers work better for different games. I have no empathy for you at all.
Bravo! Excellent post. While I would prefer to listen to Mozart delivered by a live orchestra, I can still appreciate the music via speakers or headphones. Missing out on this game by not even giving the controller a chance is a shame.
