Fix'd again. The common masses hate PC gaming because it's not "complex". Those that know how to play a PC however say that it's more versatile than a console controller and that you can do so much more with it. More people play consoles, so they make games for consoles more.

Ok, I'm in this debait now.
Let me show u, or attempt to show u how the PC is going to be better, or already is, in most cases.

... Instead of arguing about shooters solely, you can always - ALWAYS try and look at other kinds of games, if u look a puzzle game, the time u waste using the analog stick could be what costs, with the mouse, all u need is control and, maybe in some, a steady hand.
When you moan about a strategy game, there's always downsides with an Xbox remote, sure, they did well with Halo Wars, but then again, it would be TOO simple, the PC is much more complex with this, hotkeys, better control, and the games themselves can be more complex, because you have the proper controls and the control of the mouse itself, to do it.
If you look at an RPG, they are VERY well done on an Xbox, this is where it comes in...
Hey! You remember Fable 1, hmm? Remember when u had the nagging part of switching spells in the middle of a fight on both console and PC? Well, no offense Peter, but I think you could've done better for it on PC, again - Hotkeys.
If we were given hotkeys then it'd be much more flexible, easy, and even complex!

And the last, probs BEST arguement is that, well... You still have that Game Cube? Hmm? How much moneys worth was the games and the Cube? Do you still use it? Or do u play non-saved files on the Wii?
Hey, you still got that rubbish PC m8? No worries, we'll tweak it a notch, and get something good for it.

Tacky, yes, correct, yes, do you get me? I'll explain:
You can keep tinkering your PC to stay with the damn modern world, I appreciate ppl who play consoles and defend them, I don't appreciate stubborn fools who just keep going on the same arguements, I'm stubborn, granted, but I can accept when I'm wrong... My point is, I've proved, what I think I've proved, is that the PC Will be able to keep up, and up, and up with any games with more flexibility, more complex, oh.. I also forgot - more control in shooters, that's a big one, if you get more control you need more skill, trust meh
Other than that, I will gladly debait with any arguements you got that I haven't covered.

Imagine playing CoD 6's veteran campaign on a PC it wouldn't be possible the NPC's would be able to take you out before you could take aim

Have you ever touched a PC shooter in your life? A mouse makes your movements much more swift - if you're using an analogue speed there's a kind of set speed that you can turn around at, with a mouse my hand has full control over which speed a move at, and it's not maxed by how far the analogue stick can move. So although you can move slowly (by pushing the analogue stick more gently) I can swing around far faster than your analogue stick will allow you to. Or that's how I see it.

Let me show u, or attempt to show u how the PC is going to be better, or already is, in most cases.

Highfire, I was debating with the PC. What you posted is generally what I already covered.

Which is easier to do Elite, moving your thumb or your whole hand?

Hand. I played shooters with both console and PC.

You have two sticks: for moving, and for moving the camera angle. The sensitivity settings for the stick is less vast than what the mouse is capable of doing. Halo for instance has only 7 significant settings, while the same game on PC is a gradual change; moving the slider back and forth, basically.

You have more control and flexibility with an analog stick than a computer mouse

Playing on the PC is less crowded. The typical buttons for walking is WASD style. Then you have the mouse acting as aim and fire. Pressing a trigger button restricts the movement of your thumbs for both sticks. You are not able to comfortably move and aim while you are shooting when you are playing with the stick. With the PC however, you have a whole free hand just for moving, and another free hand for aiming and firing. Are you able to jump while continuously aiming on a stick? No. PC? Yes. Hurray for the thumbs and space bar! How would you aim with the scope? You push in the aim button. That again restricts aiming? What would PC do? Right-click. You could still aim fluid as water while aiming ever so carefully with a sniper rifle and succinctly picking off an unaware enemy.

I completed it, kinda easily really...
And I stick with the argument - u can move swifter and with more control with mouse.

Sorry m8, I just quickly read through things, and I figured it'd be easier if it's in a big bunch, besides, they're making the same arguments as b4, I doubt they read any of ours
