maverick343432 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Not at all. I've got a mac mini However i've also got a PS3 and 360 so i'll let you guess which ones i play the games on. Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 ill be getting it for my 360 most likely, if i feel like fixing it again. if it didnt have such a great community, i wouldnt have replaced it 8 times. i may get it for PC too. but IDK. Link to post Share on other sites
Royal-Air-Force Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Why does a toy bother you guys so much? Lulz. see: Airsoft. Anyways those "NVG's" will be *albartroth*. They will break. Kids who went "WHOAS NVG!!1eleventyshift!!1!" will BAWW because their precious goggles am borked. Fun. Ill just have the standard game thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
1st_shooter Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I might have to buy the full set just for re-sale value when i get bored im sure i could make my money back on ebay. But the NV set seems just like those eyeclops goggles to me and it also appears to have an IR illuminator on the left hand side of the goggles similer to the pvs setup or its just a dummy (pictures on amazon US). But i hadnt considered the fact that peeps will not only see me as if i was using a normal torch through there NV but they will be aiming at my head. Link to post Share on other sites
REVOA4 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Not necessarily. And you knew I meant for gaming. I spent a small fortune on a heavily upgrade XPS, but some reason I prefer playing Modern Warefare on my 360. Probably cause its hooked up to a 50" plasma and I love xbox live! Plus I live in MIcrsoft land so my opinion is heavily biased Link to post Share on other sites
Panoptes Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Not to mention auto-aim. I prefer to get my kills myself. Link to post Share on other sites

Stealthbomber Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I'm sure it is. Alas, thre real irony will also be lost. In their quest for the ultimate control system they will fail to realise that it already exists. On every PC in the world. Mouse and Keyboard FTW. Link to post Share on other sites
Stuey Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Yup. I've never owned a games console, but I find aiming accurately with an analog stick really dfficult, especially if it's a moving target (I know it gets easier with practice). But aiming with a mouse is so intuitive and easy it's impossible to beat. And there are so many buttons on a keyboard that games can be more complex ( = better (mostly)) than their console counterparts. But somehow PC gaming doesn't capture the imagination (and wallets) of millions like consoles do. Probably because consoles are very user-friendly - running a PC can be fraught with errors and difficulties. (Mac, Linux etc. users no comment please) Stu. Link to post Share on other sites

L4byr1nth Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 You guys fail. The ultimate control system, of course, was already perfected in most arcade cabinets of the 1980s and onwards. 8 way joystick, and 4 buttons I find it gives pretty precise control, and is more comfortable than a mouse/keyboard or controller.

Panoptes Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 You can't get more responsive - and especially accurate - than a mouse. Joysticks have so little movement themselves and so much range to cover on screen (poor ratio). You need auto-aim to match most mouse users in games like CoD4. Mouse = win.

L4byr1nth Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 0wn3d. Nothing can compare to the joystick/buttons configuration. There's a smoothness to it that a clunky keyboard and mouse can't achieve. Although, saying that, I suppose it depends on the genre, but to be honest, I'd take an arcade controller over a keyboard and mouse any day. If you work with it, it can be precise. It might not be as idiot-friendly as a keyboard and mouse, and it does take practice. Also, I turn auto-aim off in every game that offers the option. I don't need the computer making decisions for me, and even though the XBox 360 joysticks aren't as nice as arcade units, you can get some nice fluidity out of them. Ben.

Kipper Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hmm looks very 'Bad Company' too me. I hope they've not ruined the game Link to post Share on other sites
Panoptes Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 How is it that pilots fly their aircraft, again? With mouse and keyboard? They fly aircraft with Joystick or HOTAS config, sure. But come on, that's flying an aircraft, not jockeying a little crosshair around on a screen. Oh, and most modern combat aircraft 'pickle' their targets... ...with ...keys....
