You'd think they'd take a leaf out of Metal Gear solids book. They realised something in metal gear solid and did something about it in the later game titles.

Just for the record...

I will almost guarentee that the best console gamers will always lose to the best PC gamers (at the same games).

The precision and control using mouse and keyboard are vastly superior than console controls. You can do things faster and more accurately with a mouse. That being said, I play both... and I suck far more at the console version of games than the PC version.

I'm in bed by 8 Tuesday nights now :( But I'll keep that in mind when I manage to squirm out of a shift. :3

LOL @ Doc. I had almost confused this for the SE thread for a sec reading that post. :p

And I can't believe I've waited this long to get Castle Crashers... It's BLOODY AWESOME!! <3

I agree with Thaldin on that PC gamers are better then console gamers thing. I've played friends of mine on the same games I've got for my PC that they have on their console and I've thrashed them every time even when they've had more practice on the console versions.

Meh, consoles are a cheap way to play games, only thing they lack is the mouse which is A+ accuracy.

Also, I'm playing Mass Effect again and I love Wrex.....BUT I DON WANNA KEEL HIM! Did anyone here manage to raise their charm high enough to access the charming dialouge?

I did. I always do. Whenever there is a game like that I always stat dump into charm/persuasion/whatever the game calls it. KotOR, Fallout, you name it. Except the Elder Scroll games. The persuasion minigames suck, and it's always better to just use Charm spells. 100 points for one second custom spell is all you need. /:)

I loved Wrex :x And yeah, I definitely didn't kill him... The first time around. xD I had trouble making the decision the second time as well, but meh.

What about Kaidan vs Ashley? I personally had no attachment to either of them, so I just closed my eyes and made a random selection. Kaidan both times. xD

I know. It really annoyed be how both those characters were supposed to be love interests and yet they were among the least interesting characters I've ever seen in a video game. Especially Kaidan. I don't think I once used him in my party.

Kaidan and Ashley where both kinda "meh" characters to me, but Kaidan was most "meh" so I killed him
and neither of them where my love interest on my first playthrough, can you say hot alien lesbian sex?

WREX DIDN'T DIE, WREX DIDN'T DIE! FUCK YEAH!

I spent like 2 levels worth of points raising the charm but.... it was SO worth it.

Also, alien sex? Ew, I'm trying to bone ashely.

I totally got my chick with Liara. I mean, come on! She's totally cute!

The thing that pisses me off is that you can't get your male character with any male characters. Like Wrex. Oh, I so would have, too. ;))

Yeah, Kaidan was just... UGH. I made a point of treating him like crap my entire first playthrough. :D I probably will when I decide to do my second, too.

I do NOT play with my toys!

However I occasionally do scale model assisted simulations in physical combat dynamics.
