unfortunately for me, when i moved, i had to leave the xbox with my siblings, so i learned to use PC for gaming.... When I got this new laptop, it allowed me to play real games at high graphics settings and i sit in bed with mine and have an external keyboard so that it is easier to hit the right keys because i HAVE to play using num pad and directional arrows

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

...laptop,....

 

[Catastrophy]

That is, technically speaking, correct

 

Your answer reflects much of what mine would be, if I could be assed to type it out yet again (protip: I can't, especially since you did it for  me). The experience is different, both have advantages and disadvantages that may weigh differently with different people.

 

Surprisingly few people on the forum have played multiple platforms BTW. Which means there is a lot of talking out the rear end that goes on. Vide(te) this thread.

 

I have ME3 (and have played it) on the WiiU and the Xbox hooked up to the large screen in the salon, the Xbox hooked up to the medium screen in the game room, my Windows 10TP desktop, my half-decent laptop, and a somewhat creaky old laptop because I wanted to see what would run ME3 at base settings. The experience on each is different.

 

It could generally be summed up, though like this: Consoles are cheap, convenient, comfortable, voice chat is easy, and you spend most of your time playing; PCs can be more powerful, easier to do stuff like record video, more expensive, and you spend half your time updating hardware, drivers, fighting Origin, rebooting, and generally cursing. KB+M is more likely to give you RSI than a modern gamepad too.

 

The only thing that puzzles me is why it puzzles anyone that someone else would make a rational choice that is different from theirs.

Hey, let me know when I can drop by your place and try out the consoles. Maybe we can organize in a way so your accounts play at the same time and you can unlock the "Omnipresence" achievement.

 

This should also help with the pope audience for your planned calendar reform.

Because/..... Keyboard + Mouse Killing----equals---=  Suck-age / Boring....Controller head shots  feel way more gratifying..I have more control...Plus, Pizza Running...is cheating

Get in touch as soon as you have the canapés and the champagne

[NuclearTech76]

  I don't own mass effect for console, and I don't use any of the online feature on it, so my question may be stupid.  I'm just curious as to why you continue to play on console since you apparently have a PC to post on the forums on.  Why not just buy the PC version for $10?

 

  Or do you all have keyboards attached to the console and use some in-game function?

Bc work owns my PC and my ass and they tell me how I can use both.

What? You need me to bring furniture?

I have the comfortable canapé for us to sit on, you bring the tasty canapés for us to nibble in between waves

You have to remember, not all computers are powerful enough to play ME 3.... I used to use a craptop that couldnt be used to game and i was on a console for real games

 

AIUI the PS3 isn't powerful enough for ME3 either (lolcollectors, lolframes) and yet somehow people still manage

[nico_wolf]

I'm on console, because I like: "Shockwave".

 

no, ... it's more casual

and has less cheaters, I hope so!

 

and it's more interesting, when you don't know whether your PS3 is going to freeze in the 11th wave, or not

 

 

[edit] this is my fist post, ... really?

[Terminator Force]

Because they're garbage people who don't realize keyboard+mouse > controller, manifest can be re-maxed in hours, and lolframes. It's sad really but what're you gonna do.

 

I've been gaming since the NES days. And there is one thing keyboard will never replace of gamepads. Comfort. I play from the comfort of my bed with 3 pillows behind my head, instead of;

 

 

 

Constantly moving a mouse requires way too much effort too, so I don't know how buddy in that gif got so massive? 

[GruntKitterhand]

I can't believe this is onto its fourth page.  I guess I might as well join in.

 

Such a bizarre question - it's like thinking that a car owner shouldn't have a motorbike too.  It's actually an appropriate metaphor, although it needs to be inverted.  Motorbikes are dangerous, thrilling things - when everything is working as intended there is nothing better in this world.  Cutting edge, precision engineering at work.  But when you crash you're dead.  Game over.  Cars are (en masse) dull, boring, simple things, but they're generally pretty reliable, and most crashes can be fixed easily enough.

 

I work on a computer.  I distract myself from work on a computer.  I often fail to do the work I should be doing because the computer needs to update something or other that I've never used and never will use.  Or it just decides not to work of its own accord.  I feckin hate computers! It hurts me to compare them to motorbikes in any way whatsoever.

 

I play games on consoles, because they are (usually) reliable and simple and they don't keep asking me questions or try to take over every aspect of my existence.  I haven't played games on a computer since the last time I was supposed to be working for the government, and before that was my Spectrum (48k memory!!!).

I can't believe how many folks still don't get how cheats like these totally rob you of much better gaming experience.

 

And no. Mouse and key will never be  better then gamepads. Gamepads were designed for gaming. Mouse and key were designed for typing & and porn browsing.

Probably because my computer plays ME3 at 6FPS

[GruntKitterhand]

I am also disappointed that 4 pages in, no one has chipped in with something along the lines of,

 

"So, Mass Effect 3 Multiplayers, even though you know you've technically wasted thousands of hours playing a game, do you honestly believe that you could actually have done anything more constructive with your time?"

 

Thought not.

 

Please feel consoled.

[Creator Limbs]

Shit. I feel like that was my job.

I think most of us understand it, but going through it with RNG once is enough. 

 

If I played on PC, as much as I talk sh*t about it, I'd probably play with Becky from day one and max out. 

[Terminator Force]

  You can add a controller to your PC.  In fact, the xbox controller has a USB plug.

 

Yes, but more and more games drop gamepad support. Leaving us to other means like X-Padder to make a gamepad work on PC.

 

My brother bought 2 copies of Elder Scrolls Online. We were heartbroken to find out it too didn't have gamepad support. Even with X-Padder I wasn't able to find the right speed for the analog sticks, like on console they're programmed to start slowly then quickly pick up speed. Then there was the fact that I still had to keep the keyboard around, and... I just never bothered with that game anymore. Said I'd wait for the console version. But by then I said no more. Bethesda is not getting my money from me by alienating me.

 

Ditto for BioWare. As I have all console versions of ME game & with LE duplicates + going to buy the WiiU version any day now. Would of even bought the PC versions if they had gamepad support.

[Creator Limbs]

I would say to look upon my PC manifest and weep...but I made all of that private :')

Not my point. Most folks take the cheat route whenever possible even on their main account. Folks on console do this by missile glitching.

 

I also hear many folks dropping in hacked lobbies on PC. And all these do is break the game way more then it is. So I'm very glad the only thing I have to worry about is missile glitching.

[Dunmer of Redoran]

morrowind sure on pc but oblivion, and skyrim work great with the controller

Works even better with a mouse and keyboard setup.

Playing a Mage or spellsword or witch hunter and having to pause every couple seconds to equip something else is a pain. With nine mapped favorites, that issue is mostly alleviated.

Also the control key being mapped for auto-move. Traveling about the map is infinitely easier.

Also, mostly unrelated but mods. Mods make the biggest difference of all.

[Chealec]

I beg to differ on that front; I've played Warcraft 2 on the PS1.

 

Gamepads are great for beat-em-ups or hack-n-slash but pretty hopeless compared to the accuracy of mouse aiming for TPS/FPS games ... and as soon as you get some kind of complexity in a game such as an RTS or a 4X game, a gamepad just doesn't cut it. That's before you even start looking at the hardware demands of games like Total War.

 

So I mostly game on the PC but I've also got a PS3 because Gran Turismo, racing char, big screen TV and home theatre system. Though I guess I could probably do away with that, get a small factor PC in the living room and Project Cars on Steam now; I could even get an XBOX controller for it.

 

Most of the advantages of a console are now gone - you switch it on, you wait for the system update, reboot, you put the game in, wait for that to update, restart the game - wait for it to load... may as well be on the PC at least the games load faster; the days of the "just switch it on and play" console are long dead.

The number of hacked ME3 MP games I've dropped into (excluding those I've deliberately joined - e.g. Husk mode) since I started playing has got to be less than 10 ... and I've played 6800 games.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you here, once you've enough practise with the controller, the sensitivity difference in Fps games is not too high. Sure mouse is gonna give you slightly better sensitivity and you can do a 180 turn much faster but other than that, there's not much else. 

Also other than the in game loading times the overall time for pick up and play is much less on console though it's just my personal experience.

The number of people who missile glitch on console has to be really small.  I've pugged 6k games across both the main ones and I've been in precisely one game where it was definitely happening, and one where it might have been happening up until the host migration.  I've heard it discussed in maybe two or three lobbies.  I think most players are sane enough to recognise that cheating at a game like that is kinda pointless, as it removes all the intended fun.
