Why I Hate Console Gamers

Because of pieces of crap like GTA:SA.

Here are some quotes of my friend, about why GTA : SA is going to be better than HL2:

"lets model a military plane that actually
looks like a plane not a lump of green ****, allow the door
to be opened by the player, and add something deep to the
storyling as your friend fights you for the last chute,
then you jump out of it as it erupts into a realistic
fireball"

"theres 3 cities each of which are 5 times bigger than all the
previous games put together"


Whoop de freaking do.

Scripting! WOW! Games have had that for... what? Ever? And realistic planes \o/ WOW! That must have been so hard to make. WOW! STORYLINE! 2 people fighting over a parachute! AMAZING! Look at HL2's storyline...

3 cities! AMAZING! Then some other complete ****... Hmm oh em gee. AN EXTRA 50 buildings! Of which you can actually go in 2! A WHOLE 2!

I <b>must</b> buy GTA : SA because it's going to be AMAZING. Nothing like that HL2 crap, with what's looking like a brilliant storyline, graphics, brilliant physics engine, teamplay...

EDIT - I don't actually hate console gamers. I like alot of console only games. It just annoys me because this person is saying that the change from GTA 3 -> GTA:SA is a much more significant change than HL -> HL2.

    Oh no people have opinions different than yours and it's not that HL2 will blow everyone away! How stupid.

    HL2 is just a new engine with good physics and an OK storyline.

    GTA: SA is just new cities and a couple of new gameplay features.

    Why are you reffering to console gamers. It's just your friends (dumb) opinion. He hasn't played any of the games yet. Neither did you. So neither one of you is right. You're just as stupid, Jimmeh.

    GTA:SA looks ok, but I'm suprised it doesnt collapse in on itself due to all the completely unneccessary stuff thats been thrown in the game. Do I really want to or even need to play basketball, Snooker, Arcade Games, get my haircut, date women or hide in the shadows in Grand Theft Auto? I would have simply been content with the ability to swim and fly the plane.

    I can name one reason why i hate the catering for the console market (No, not console gamers)....

    Deus Ex 2

    But anyway, yeah, grow up, people have differing opinions. Imho, GTA3 and VC were fantastic games, lots of things to do and a hell of a lot of fun to be had. If you don't like GTA:SA, don't buy it, and if you have an opinion that conflicts with someone else's, please don't spend the time to furnish us with the details, we don't care.

    I don't really mind console gamers, but the growing number of games that are being ruined for the console market (Invisible War (yes it was ruined!), Ghost Recon 2, and of course Halo) really **** me off. GTA:SA is actually a console game that I'd consider on par with the best PC games, because I love the freedom and feel of the GTA games. Just because HL2 and SA are both going to be great games doesn't mean you have to hate it because your friend thinks it's better.

    Exactly. Everyone has different opinions on games. People might not like HL2.. they're entitled to their own opinion.. right?

    Even though I am a console gamer.... I have to agree. Deus Ex 2 was almost an insult to Deus Ex 1.

    No I just don't care for the whole console thing in general.

    <b>Copyrighted everything</b>
    As with PC

    <b>No community</b>
    Er, no, there are many communities for many games. You think the Halo fanboyism grew from the PC port? HAH!

    <b>Thumbsticks suck</b>
    Yeah, so do joysticks which we use to play most arcade games, no, wait, they're the same thing except smaller and easier to control leaving other fingers to do other things at the same time.

    <b>No ability to modify the software</b>
    As with a lot of games. There's only a handful of games that do actually have a modding community compared to the amount of games released.

    <b>Games are incompatable with any other system</b>
    Lemmie go put my Half-Life CD in a mac, no, wait, my PC is also incompatible with other systems.

    Oh of course, i love my PC over my consoles, but then again, i really like my consoles too. Sitting behind me i have a Gamecube, PS2 and Xbox, packed in the room next to this i have a PSX, SNES, Megadrive, Dreamcast and N64.

    PC offers a lot of things, aside from gaming, but console games tend to be more fun to have your friends over for a few multiplayer games. Each of the times i've tried spare of the moment LANs have been pretty disasterous, i've got 3 mid to high spec computers and a high spec laptop in the house, but all the time spent installing games, setting up servers, etc, etc, it's so much more of a hassle than throwing a disc into the tray, turning on the power and just start playing straight away, nothing but a console can offer that.

    I just meant to express why I don't care for them, not start a flame war.

    Esuna is right but also incomplete. My PC is custom built and I don't have to illegally mod it to make it do cool things. That's what I meant. Thumbsticks are definitely inferior to the USB optical mouse. If you don't believe me find a way I can link to a XBox and play you in Halo. My tracking and accuracy is just better with it.

    PS: The only time I use my joystick is when playing a flight sim, like game or say I'm in BF1942 and jump in a plane.

    Speaking of console games vs. PC games, I just loaded up Halo PC. What. The. Hell. Gearbox is now my mortal enemy. Is it always zoomed in like that, and are the animations always skipping frames? What a rip off.

    Halo PC is probably the worst PC coversion i've seen (On par with SH4's control system). Also, it took them 2 years to do that. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    If I remember correctly, Gearbox wanted to patch the PC version of Halo but Microsoft prevented them from doing that.

    Or something like that, anyway.

    GTA:SA isn't coming out on the PC?

    I don't like GTA3/VC/whatever that much, but they are certainly a right laugh. I have yet to see any of the GTA games beat GTA2.

    Why does there have to be this debate over which is better? Does it matter? I play NS/CS/other PC games, and while I'm waiting to spawn I play CROC; The Legend of the Gobbos!

    Damn that has to be one of the best games ever. Gobbo = cutest thing in the world.
