bad controls(for a fast paced shooter), bad FOV, worse graphics, no mods, no patches, worse online community, servers with finite lifespan.
1. Actually, I rather prefer console controls for shooters. I f*ckin hate mouse.
2. I'd say the FOV is pretty much the same.
3. Most computers with
standard graphics-card pretty much have same quality as a console on a good tv.
4. Why would I need mods? The game is supposed to be fun itself. I hate when people mod games for sh*ts and giggles, it ruins the entire seriousness of games.
Especially this game. Who would ever take this game as canon if there is going to be a mod that gives your player a clown-skin?
5. You can get patches and updates on Xbox Live (I guess same goes for PS3)?
6. Dunno about online community, never really bothered me (although I do mostly play with people I know).
7. First time I hear that about servers, but okay...
And most important of all:
8. I have a
guarantee that it
will work and that there wont be any lag.
I can agree that first seven points outline opinion rather than practical issues, but the last one is indeed of importance and what I would consider the most obvious reason as to why many people buy shooters for their console rather than PC. On a comp you pretty much have to buy a new graphics-/sound-/whatever-card every 2-3 years. And they must be compatible and all that crap, or else you'll get errors or lag. Buying a console ensures you
ability to play any game for
many years without lag and without need to spend money on additional stuff.
