Read above posts to see why you're proving yourself to be the ignorant one. Good job buddy.

And to rub it in a little bit... I've been gaming since before you were born. As have alot of others on Nico. I think I'd take our credibility over yours on this topic anyday.

What does sonys unoriginal and over priced (not arguing that) products have to do with final fantasy? you do know that there are FF games on other systems than just the playstaion 1-2.........and you do know that sony has nothing to do with Square Enix (the producer of FF BTW). Seriously calm down GOW looks great I'll probally get it too, but right now you sound like a 13yr old gamefaqs user who forgot to take his meds.

Yes, I have played it. I work for Microsoft and demo'd the game about a week ago.

Also, having all of this inside info, I can honestly say that Sony is unequivocally the best company ever.

Ever.

no, but seriously on topic.

I will be buying a 360 for this game.I will be buying a gamecube for zelda.I will NOT buy a wii.I will not be buying a ps3, until GT5 that is.

Otherwise I have COD3, okami, ff12, guitar hero 2, and Oblivion(yay for mods) to keep me busy for a while...

BTW, GoW = God of War, NOT Gears of War. first come first serve :P

Gears is just Gears :P

18 years ago when they first said it was coming out I would have agreed. But alas Wii is coming out and is amazing so maybe so.

Ever since I started playing game on the computer rather then a console Ive begain hating controllers for FPS games...Do they make a keyboard and mouse you can play 360 games with? If not they need to start offering that.

add first person shooters to that list and you got it spot on. Guitar Hero is a great game but unfortunately its Sony still I cant wait for the 360 version. Forza Motorsport is still the best racing game ever. it kicks GT4's ***.

I can't stand FPS's with controllers because they're so slow. I also really don't like third person shooters... except for Hitman and SplinterCell

no they dont. I never liked the mouse and keyboard setup. I was able to aim and react much faster on the console format* ( as long as it wasnt a sony control because their analog sticks are aligned so horribly for any skillful use ) Computer never floated my boat because you always have to upgrade to stay with the times every few months. a graphics card on a computer is about $400 bucks and it will be outdated in a year. at least with my 360 the $400 investment I made will last me for 5-6 years.

Controllers are slower than a Keyboard/Mouse set-up. If you actually believe it's not, you're lying to yourself. I play Halo2 fairly regularly (cept the last month or so), owned the original Halo on the xbox and on PC. I own 2 360's. On the PC version of halo, I can run through levels pretty quickly as I can check blind corners very quickly (even on both sides of an opening). I can zero in on targets much quicker. I play Halo and Halo2 with maximum controller sensitivity (10) and I set up my mouse to be quite sensitive when I do play PC games(almost never now). I prefer a mouse and keyboard, but when Halo for PC and Splinter Cell for PC both drained my wallet trying to get good speed out of them, I decided to stick with console games. I'm not unhappy with controllers, but a mouse and keyboard is much faster and much more natural. Consider, that moving a mouse a certain distance to a target is much closer to moving a gun a certain distance to line up with a target. Using a controller controls the rate at which the gun moves. There's little relation between a thumbstick and a real gun.

Hmmm when you get to be a level 38 legit on Halo 2 you learn how to use the controller more effectively. I will agree that the computer setup is more responsive however either I suck at it or something but I hate it.

If you get to a level 38 legit on Halo 2, then you are a god at the game. Too many cheaters at that level.

As far as the use of the controller, It's really just hand eye coordination. Doesn't make it any faster. The controller is always limited to the game's maxspeed. i can turn around much faster on Halo for PC.

that was before all the cheaters got up there. I was die hard halo from the first day it came out. I really did own before but I couldnt play any legit games anymore ( I even beat a few modders/ bridgers ) so i quit. here's my stats: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Pl...Dover you can see that the last 100 or so games have corrupt data because I quit because I was getting cheated) I got back on for the first time in 4 months on Oct. 22nd.

I hate playing FPS on consoles. I always get raped in multiplayer.

Likewise, if I jump to the WASD setup on the PC, I do pretty well. IMO, it's easier to line up the mouse pointer to a target than it is to adjust the analog sticks to line up.

True but it has become second nature now. I would do much better console vs PC than PC vs PC

Thats why xps blows even when that thing was new it was an overpriced pos. I can build a pc that will blow that piece of crap out of the water for half of the price.

I dont know how u cant play legit games on halo any more im a higer rank than u and i never have a problem gettin a legit game.
