draak3000 "Even some PC gamers use controllers" Thats true. When I play pro evo then I use a controller on my pc. How many pc gamers do you think actually use a controller when playing fps? not very many I'll bet." Does it really matter? It's all about personal preferences. Either version of the game is fun, regardless of your control preferences.
Well, I game on both PC and console. I am in dire need of a PC upgrade and it's going to be a while before that happens, so I purchased Bioshock for my 360. For all of those individuals that go on and on and on about how much better the PC version is because of mouse/keyboard vs. controller, or how unplayable the 360 version is because of the controller... I say, stuff a sock in it. The game plays just fine with a controller. This isn't some online shooter where you have to get your headshots off in 1 millisecond and it's certainly not a hard game by any means. FPS's aren't even my style of game and I managed to finish Bioshock, with a controller and I had a blast doing so. If you prefer PC gaming and it's available options, great, I salute you but spare me with the controller nonsense. Even some PC gamers use controllers.
For those that are not sure if it will run on your older systems, just download the demo and try it. I did and I'm glad I did because I was on the fence as well, with my old P4 2.2. And guess what, I have everything but shaders and shadow turned up. AA is at 4X, playing in a resolution of 1280 x 1024. I haven't tried it online yet but the single player game hasn't seemed to drop at all in FPS. So try the demo, you might be surprised!
I have a P4 2.2 Ghz, 1280 RAM, with an ATI X1600 Pro 512... I have been playing the demo with surprisingly high settings, with what appears to have no loss in FPS.(although I haven't run fraps) I'm absolutely shocked at how optimized this game is. I decided a while back, after seeing some screen shots, not to pay attention to C&C until I upgraded my PC but after playing the demo... I have a new game to go out and buy today. :) To those with older PC's like mine, I strongly suggest trying the demo out as you may miss out on a great game that you might actually be able to run just fine!
Yeah, where's the 360 and Wii games? Or is it that the PS3 games are most anticipated because of nothing real being shown for it so far? Oh yes, that's right, we need to see if FF XIII actually looks like the videos. As far as I'm concerned, you can show all the PS3 stuff you want and it will not change my mind what so ever... I'm still not even considering one until the price drops large. With all the great games coming to 360 now, I see no reason why I would need to spend the money on a PS3. Hell, as far as I'm concerned, the Wii is looking like the best system of choice. Cheap prices, great options and tons of fun. I also agree with what others have said about the online plans, especially after PS2's history with it.
I only have one thing to say... WELCOME BACK NINTENDO!!! Ok, a few other things... Yeah, sure, the Wii's not as powerful but from what I seen thus far, it certainly compares in the graphics department. And lets face it, nothing looks bad anymore. I really don't understand why anyone would be disappointed with the price of the Wii, in comparison to the competition. The lack of HD support bugs me a little but the real question is, does the Wii support progressive like the Cube did? If so, then that's fine by me. The price is right. The games are right. The extras are right. I can see the big N taking the #1spot this gen, especially with all the buzz on the street about it.
