Shooters are more FUN on consoles. Sure the pad isn't as precise, but it's more enjoyable and immersive on a console with gamepad. And don't say use a gamepad on the PC as then you'll get your arse kicked by everyone using the keyboard & Mouse. At least on a console everyone has the same controller (for the most part).

RTS on the other had are just too frustrating without a kb&m.

Now the problem I have is there aren't any great RTS games out right now...I'm dying for Starcraft 2 and Dawn of War 2.

I'm sure MMORPGs are best no PC, but I don't play them...so as the subject says for me :-)

I'm hoping someone can suggest some current great RTS games for me. Currently playing CoH, but I liked DoW more. both have the same type of resource collection points, but I just don't like CoH that much. I'm also trying sins of a solar empire, but that's more of a turn based style game within a real time environment.

Its old, but i love my WarCraft 3.I still play it to this day since i got it like 2 years ago .. Best part about it is the custom maps people make, it last for years.

I also enjoy Age of Empires 3 and Command & Conquer 3

Medieval II: Total War for current-gen. Unless you like generic and uninspired RTSs such as the modern C&C games and Age of Empires 3.

EDIT: If you are, indeed, looking for a more traditional and recognizable RTS that still uses acceptable graphics, then I agree that Warcraft 3 is the way to go.

I would say get Warcraft 3 if you haven't already. It's an all around excellent RTS with one of the best campaigns you can experience.

I own it but I never gave it a chance...but I'll give it another go. Might not have been in the right frame of mind when I played it the first time.

Sure the pad isn't as precise, but it's more enjoyable and immersive on a console with gamepad.

This really really belongs in a blog. 

Hardly anyone can give a crap about your opinions.  

Vote for most boring and pointless thread ever.

I've had more fun with FPS on PC. Does that make me right? For me, its because the experience has far fewer limits. Custom maps, mods, totally customizable controls, etc. Overall you can pick how you get to experience the game. Plus its standard in PC FPS now to have both voice and text chat, so communication is a loooott easier. FPS's on PC tend to play better, have more features, and look better. But of course, that's just my opinion I suppose. I've still had more fun with games like Team Fortress 2 (the 360 version fails compared to the PC one), CS: Source, Battlefield, and Unreal Tournament than any console FPS.

Controller? More immersive? Do you know what immersive means? I have never actually felt there in a console FPS. Ever. I have in a PC game. Why? There is something about leaning forward with arms extended that lends itself to feeling there. Especially when opposed to laying back with hands together gripped around a controller. The only thing that would be immersive in that position is a game about going pee. Maybe I'm alone on this, but I really think that KB/M are infinitely more immersive.
