Well, I think Fionavar would agree that PC shooters rule the school on console shooters.

It doesn't matter how good one can be with the controller. If you throw away auto-aim, of two individuals with equivalent skill with both devices, if you pitch one with a controller against the other with a kb/mouse setup, chances are the latter will win. It doesn't matter if the controller can do a decent enough job, when there's a superior alternative available. That makes the controller obsolete.

Strangely killing Gromnir is my favorite BG2:ToB moment.

 

He said "Ha Good Fun!" just before I turned him into meaty chunks.

I forgot that he was in ToB.

 

It was neat seeing little Easter Eggs like that :D

I didn't realize there were a lot at the time.

 

I played it, killed Gromnir, heard "good fun" and was like... what the heck?

 

I had to make a thread here about it, probably in the archives, and gromnir explained just how many things were added.

Gromnir was the only one that I knew of. I had very briefly visited the Interplay forums where ToB was being discussed, and Gromnir sticks out because of his unique posting style.

 

When I bumped into him in ToB I was like "Hey! That's the guy from the forums!!"

 

Do you remember how Gromnir took it? He seems like the type that would just laugh it off, but some people could easily be "OMG that's sooz0rs not me!"

I think he was surprised his character wasn't a kobold.

 

I'll go see if I can find a link to the thread.

Draconis - another community member - also had a cameo, as one of the dragons in ToB. The one who'd cast Heal on himself upon nearing death, no less <_<

I was just wondering how many people here are strictly or mainly PC gamers

That was easy to find.... but then I don't normally start threads...

I've to see a console shooter that can even remotely touch the top-tier PC shooters.

Would those who use the PC equally with consoles count?

I generally buy every console, and try not to be too biases towards any platform. I play good games on whatever platform they come out on.

 

Yet I feel PC shooters are far better.

I'm strictly PC gamer now, but not because I am a fanboy. I just tend to prefer games that come out on the PC.

 

I have plenty of experience with consoles, as I used them as my primary gaming machine for roughly a decade.

 

Most console games that I would be interested in playing often find their way onto the PC anyways, so it saves me from having to plunk down on a console as well.

Mouse > controller

 

you just can't get the same level of fine tuned control with a controller.

Mouse > controller > keyboard

Yeah, I think that'd be accurate.

PC gamer here. The only console games I would still play would be console RPGs, and the ones from that genre that I really want to play are few and far in-between.

Good thing I have my cool, unique avatar to make finding me so much easier.

 

 

Your early posting style seems to indicate quite a fascinations with the emoticons. You seem to have mellowed with time on these forums

I love emoticons

 

I just haven't felt very emoticoney lately
