Really. Why would anyone bother with first-person shooters on today's consoles, or without a mouse?

I can understand if someone has no other choice but to play a game like Modern Warfare 2on X360, because they cannot afford a computer system that is powerful enough to run it (and that's if Modern Warfare 2 played without lagging on the PC, which it doesn't, and this is why I don't bother with MW2 at all...never played its multiplayer). But if you have a high-end PC, why on earth would you bother with any FPS game on a console today?!

I have X360 and PS3. I've played Halo 1 on the PC, enjoyed Halo 2 on the co-op mode on X360, never bothered with any other Halo game. The only reason I picked Killzone 2 on the PS3 and finished it was that almost everything about the game was good, except the story, and the graphics especially were amazing...but even the graphics didn't look [that] good on a true-1080p 32" HD TV, basically you'd see a hint of jaggies on environment elements that are a bit farther from you. And I must say that I didn't enjoy Killzone 2 that much, mainly due to feeling absolutely gimped when it comes to targetting or aiming, using the damn gamepad all the time.

I've heard lots of people say that aiming with the gamepad gets easier with time or training. But it was absolutely clear to me that no matter how much I train, I can never reach the same level of skill that I have when using the mouse. I basically compared how fast I am getting better at using the gamepad to aim, and how fast I got better when using the mouse, and it is crystal clear to me that I feel much more in control using the mouse, and can be pinpoint accurate like 4x easier than when using a gamepad. This is obviously why you have auto-aim or aim-assist on console FPSs while the feature is very rare for PC games. Gamepads are clearly gimped when it comes to aiming or headshots, and naysayers are mainly people who overestimate their targetting skill on console FPSs and industry professionals who inflate the fun-factor of console gaming over PC gaming merely for profit. It is obvious that many companies profit more from console games, so it makes sense that you see console-exclusive games and in the marketing material find every possible reasonto choose the console version over the PC version. But for those of us who have been on both sides of the fence, we know that mouse & keyboard FPS gaming is superior in every way to gamepad console gaming.Which is also why they never pit PC users against console users in any game...the difference of skill and advantageis going to frustrate console gamers to depression.

Until PS3 FPS games can be played using a mouse (regardless to a keyboard or pad for the other hand), I will always stick to the PC when playing FPS games. If any industry professional is reading, I'd like you to know that I only rentedModern Warfare 2to finish the single player campaign, and never bothered withits multiplayer at all. I know my experience in this example may not matter that much because the game already brought too much profit, especially from the console, but there it is.

Give me a mouse to play your FPS, or I won't give you a penny for your FPS, no matter how critically acclaimed, well reviewed, or well played it is. Period.
