CS GO thoughts (PS3 version)

For those who own/played CS GO (PS3 version), what are your thoughts on the game? Compared to other CS games for the PC, I mean.

i'm interested too.

Stay away are my thoughts.

Here's what I said in my review which for some reason doesn't seem to be visible yet:

For the record, long ago when the grass was green and the sky was blue, I played the piss out of CounterStrike and then CounterStrike Source on the PC. I thought Source, with its abundance of free, great, user-made maps was about as good a multi-player game you could get. I remember downloading and trying what seemed like hundreds of maps and never failing to be amazed at people's creativity.

Then I got a PS3 and have been playing COD games ever since.

So when I heard that CS was coming to the PS3, I was excited and thought here's a chance to go back to one my favourite games and play it on my favourite console.

I go the game on launch, and what a let down.

I went back to Source on the PC and even tried Modern Combat Domination on the PS3 just to make sure I wasn't missing something. It wasn't me.

The game looks ugly, has loose controls compared to the COD and BF games and has very few maps.

There's a mode called Arms Race that has two maps. That's right, a whopping two maps. The regular modes have eight maps. There have been hundreds if not thousands of maps made for the PC game and we get eight? Are you serious Valve?

I guess what I expected, especially since the game is something like 2.5 gigs, was crisp Portal 2 quality graphics and a tight control scheme.

You can't zoom in your aim (except for when using a sniper gun). It's aim and shoot, and if you want you can crouch. In an era where games like COD and BF have dominated the market, you can't give people controls like you'd have in a FPS from the early PS2 games and think they'll be happy.

I purchased Gameloft's Modern Combat Domination a while back because I thought it'd be a nice CS clone until a real CS game came to the PS3. It was okay and for $7.00 I couldn't really complain. Well, compared to CS:GO, Gameloft's game looks better and while it's not as fast to move around, I'd say the controls are tighter. That's just sad.

If you've never played CS, do yourself a favour, get CS Source for the PC, download some user-made maps and either play online or play against bots and get ready to have have some old school fun.

If you buy this on the PS3, don't be surprised if you stop playing it after a week and find yourself playing superior multi-player games like Battlefield 2, Battlefield 3, Black Ops and Modern Warfare 3.

A major disappointment. That'll teach me for buying a game without watching YouTube videos or reading some reviews.

Here's a low grade video of about 15 minutes of the game mode called Arms Race on the PS3 so you can see what the game looks like on the PS3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oa2bQ3pxys0&feature=plcp

There were two maps included for Arms Race - 2 maps! Ridiculous.

In a completely opposite opinion of the game, I think it's better than Source. I played the **** out of Source too, and as far as shooting goes, the shooting in GO is better than Source. The controls are not "loose" (JESUS CHRIST) It's just people being used to auto aim in CoD and BF, and CS:GO has no auto aim to compensate for babies that can't aim right, or don't use a proper mouse and keyboard which is how it's meant to be played.

The game does NOT look ugly.

Maybe d_Parker didn't read up on the game first, but he should know that valve had CS 1.6 and Source pros give constant feedback about the game. GO is more like 1.6 which is the all time favorite CS. It's stupid to complain about not being able to zoom in down your sites, because THAT'S HOW CS HAS ALWAYS BEEN. Most of the complaints he had were comparing the game negatively to CoD and BF, which are just completely invalid because this game does not need to be like those rehash games.

CS is not fast passed, run and gun. There does not need to be a sprint button. Or zoom aim.

Yes, the small number of maps isn't great, but who's to say they won't release more through an update or dlc for free? If you've known CS for the last decade or so, it's more of the same great CS. Honestly, most people's opinions (including pros) is that GO is better than Source, in the technical aspects. Better weapon behavior, hit boxes, etc. I will say though, if you buy it on PS3, please use a mouse and keyboard. CS is just not meant to be played with a controller.

It's pretty good. Obviously, the PC version is better in terms of visuals, mods, etc. however, the PS3 version plays great and I had no problems with it. You can read my opinion on it in my review if you wish.

I've played quite a lot of it in the last two days and I can honestly say it's a ton of fun. Yeah, there aren't enough maps (yet), but it's still a great time and if you have a few friends to play with it gets even better. Graphics are fine, controls are tight and responsive, and the gameplay is more tactical than anything else you will find on the system

Game is fun. I wish I could aim down the site but I can live without it. I really do want some more maps though. But I have to keep in mind, this is a game worth what we paid $12. It brings back a lot of fond memories.
