Anybody else getting Crysis 2 on consoles?

[QUOTE="Chris_Williams"] when you play crysis 2 on the pc and i play it on my ps3 at the end of the day we're doing the same thing, playing a videogame. psn8214

Well yeah, we are, I'm just playing the better version is all.

Technically, nothing we do here matters to the rest of the world :P

[QUOTE="psn8214"]

[QUOTE="Chris_Williams"] ...all the things you guys are attacking me on are about the controls... i can play a fps with my ps3 controller just fine and i don't see anyone else complaining about playing fps's with joysticks.. Chris_Williams

Well, since you mentioned how the gameplay was the same, I figured I'd point out that it wasn't. Oh and you've clearly never played an FPS on PC. Just sayin'.

I agree, this PC gamersuperiority has to stop. I'm sure PCs and consoles can peacefully co-exist. There's no need to jump on a lad just because he chooses to play a video game on something that isn't a computer.

My PC would drop dead if I attempted to run it....so 360 it is.

oops, did i make the hermits mad.. i sorry, kinda

How's he missing out if he can still get it on console?

AdobeArtist

... he's missing out on the vast number of PC games and multiplats he could be playing with a proper gaming PC maybe? 'dunno. :P

To be fair, the superiority seems to be found in all fanboy groups (except maybe Sheep), so I don't see why one brand should stop over another :?

Hey now, he started it by saying the gameplay was the same. :P

I'm not buying it, I'm renting it on a console.

must not have played an fps on the pc then.

that was the only conclusion I could think of, since Mouse and keyboard is a much better controller option for fps games. and I'm not being arrogant.

Well you're right of course but I think PC gamers take it to the brink and beyond. I mean there's only so many times I can hear them bang on about Crysis' mods and how much better BF2 is than BC2 no matter how correct they are. In a nutshell, they look down their noses at console gamers too often.

Maybe they're bitter because they know they're a dying breed.....JOKE, I'm sorry, don't hurt me :P

you still haven't proven me otherwise, only thing your talking about is controls and i don't see what that has to do with gameplay, its not like the keyboard and mouse gives crysis 2 on the pc extra levels or unique guns. i mean you have mods which are pretty cool and i like mods but thats it. but i don't even know why i'm even going back and forth with you, i'm not even that interested in crysis and am only going to rent it. Chris_Williams

Eh, pretty sure controls are directly relative to gameplay, but if you want to think otherwise... :P Oh and the extra levels and unique guns? ... oh wait, you mentioned mods, never mind.

Haha, me? I'm a kind and gentle soul, why would I hurt you? :x

Fair enough if that's how you feel, but I just figure we get far more superiority from console gamers toward each other - which is really ****ing weird :P

if you prefer slower, slight camera movements to 1:1 control than be my guest. :) (smiley to break the tention)

If I get it, it would be for the 360... I would need to upgrade my PC, and I don't have the money...

There is a difference between opinion and fact.

Opinion may have you claim that you prefer playing a joypad (though lack of a gaming PC may bring this about). Fact dictates that the KB and Mouse is a smoother, more customizable and accurate way of playing a shooter, particularly a FPS.

And all it takes is a moment with both control types to understand that. If you have no choice but to play a shooter with a joypad as you would with exclusives or if you have no access to a PC than by all means play it. But neither theuncharted or psn are lying, nor are they giving some subjective view, when they say that the KB and Mouse controller option is better for a shooter. It's a fact.

PC and whatever system is probably better/

im probably not going to buy it this year. I will wait for the price to drop and then pick it up for my PS3. Honestly there seem to be alot better games coming out this year that I would prefer to spend 60 dollars on.

I'm not buying it, I'm renting it on a console.

Bigboi500

Don't you have to buy new EA games for online access or something?

OT: I'll be getting it day 1 for 360

[QUOTE="lowe0"] Oh, look, now you've figured out that it's entirely possible to have experience with a mouse and keyboard and yet prefer a gamepad. Too late.lowe0

u mad bro? ;)

the argument has ended no? for times of anger, I can recommend this game.

I pre-ordered it for the PS3 yesterday. I just want to experience the game even if it's not the best version.

the more responsive and accurate methods when applied to *anything* are superior.

At this point, this is getting out of hand. everyone should just enjoy this beast of a game when it comes out.

The above post says all it needs to without me iterating on it again. The results of any such poll would be worthless. You would need people like myself, the uncharted and psn to take part in it as we play on PC and consoles (I think we each have multiple consoles at that but I can't speak for everyone) as opposed to people that only play on PC or only on console.

While it looks like they were just horsing around with you a bit, I have no intention of telling someone that they need to upgrade their PC to play a game properly. You are correct in that it is the exact same experience that we will all see through to the end. They are however correct in that the PC version will be easier to use and far more accurate than a gamepad could ever hope to be.

I read the post that began it and I read the ones that followed it. It's clear that both users were simply joking around a bit with him.

The post that began it also isn't what matters to me. What matters is that it became a conversation of KB and M versus gamepad and that is what I responded to. Conversations all start someway before evolving into something else.

The fact is neither you or the other guy really understood that they were simply boasting about PC in a lighthearted manner and took this out of proportion.

well, for fps's. it's inferior to a controller in other genres, and vice versa.
