I agree, although the first 1st person shooter I ever played addictively was Goldeneye, that in my opinion nintendo did a fantastic job on the N64 controller, being the only controller to at least somewhat effectively produce smooth aiming on a console to date, yea, 14 years later, no improvements other than auto aim...I find myself incapable, no...to impatient to adapt to how, basically imprecise an analog controller is for aiming in first person shooters specifically.
PC gaming can't die, any dumba** developer/publisher ever claiming so is doing nothing but repeating wtf they heard from some other dumba**
I'd like to see egosoft or cdproject or besthesda complain about pc gaming...oh wait, they don't, because other than fallout 3, putting the X3 series when it was first released, or the witcher when it was first released, on a console would have just been a laugh, especially with X3. And don't make me laugh about using compression streams of any sort or about bluray capasity...
The only way I ever see consoles competing directly with PC gaming, is when you can finally upgrade ram and video card, because as it stands, the onboard ram and video capabilities on a 360 and PS3 are just going to become more and more of a joke when it comes to eye candy or stupidly huge areas like in X3 Reunion/Terran Conflict itself.
And last time i checked a torrent site, there were just as many sh** loads of console/handheld games availible for download, and to add to that, kijiji and craigslist aren't lacking at all in adds from $15 and up to modify your console/handheld to play pirated games. How must all this evidence be slaped in the faces of these ppl before they stfu about pc market being hurt by pirating when for someone in my position its actually easier to get pirated copies for my ps3 and get it moded just down the street than bother finding an up to date crack or at least one that isn't a virus for a recent pc game?
