PC game difficulty

as i've recently started with PC games, i've noticed that they seem to be greater difficulty than console games. or am i just being inept today? although i've not currently got it into a good position (keyboard + mouse actually on my lap) so that might contribute to the difficulty, and possibly my choice of games (so far Company of heroes and Crysis) are harder than their console counterparts?

Thanks guys

If a game has quicksave, then I play on the Hard setting. If there's only a checkpoint system, then I play on normal. I also go by what reviewers & other gamers say about the difficulty of a particular game.

I didn't think Crysis was that difficult. I've heard RTS fans say that Company of Heroes is one of the more difficult RTS games.

Just kidding about the vote that you're inept, btw :P.

Overall, I would say that PC games are a little easier because, imo, the controls are easier to deal with. You can particularly tell the difference in controls when comparing consol games that were made into PC games (stuff like Halo).

it's alright about the vote, i put it up there for those who like to larf :P

i haven't actually played any multi-plats on my PC yet, i suppose that would've been a good way to compare instead of games that consoles either can't or shouldn't play (rts on console is no no)

Crysis isn't particuarly hard, although I admit it has some difficult parts.

I would say you are just inept :P

Cheers :D

maybe when i get used to it and get an actual surface to play on it'll get easier, but at the moment it is a bit. perhaps i'm wanting to rely upon the auto-aim function that someone else mentioned is on console games.

You... You have the mouse on your lap? How does that work? Do you just move it along your leg or something? The floor? A wall?? I'd say, yeah, you're kind of gimping yourself with such an awkward way to use a mouse. Carrying a 2lb. box around is easy, unless you decide to hold it between your legs while walking on your fingertips. :P

it's on top of a game's box which is rested on my leg...it works...just....

much harder online and offline

for example online Halo2 to me is easy..but Couterstrike provides more of a challange IMO, and games like Quake3 have such huge diffculty in 1v1 and TDM

Stalker is a pretty hard FPS, and no other FPS this gen really provided any challange for me..

so overall i find PC games much harder and a tad more challanging

That's still a little awkward. Do you have anything like a TV tray? Pull up a chair and unfold a TV tray, put the mouse and keyboard on it... That would work.

they're about the same. PC games are a little easier thanks to quick saves and FPS games have better aiming precision. thre hasn't been a single FPS game that's given me too many problems (when it comes to single player).

though most of the absolutely ball-breaking hard games I've played would be on consoles though (Ikaruga and Ninja Gaiden... oh, god). even Halo 3 and COD4 (played the 360 version) have rediculously hard parts. Even if i played such games with a mouse, there are things there that a little extra precision can't fix.
