I'm getting an xbox one for titanfall and I'll probably get a playstation 4 because... you have to be prepared? For now though, PC is the only way to go.

Oh I have played Halo, just never thought it lived up to it's hype. Still good though, but I wouldn't buy a console for it.

I find shooter games harder to play on consoles, especially FPS ones. Still, some games are best played on a console, while other games can't be played without a keyboard.

Anything involving flying something is best done with a controller, I use one to fly fighters in PS2, and it gives you a huge advantage I find.

Which one?
And don't even play Reach. Call me a purist, but CE-3 are the only real Halo.
Actually play reach, it has great gameplay. Shit story.

I haven't actually finished the story. I decided to stick to forge and multi-player after the level where you survive falling from space.

I've played 2 and 3. As for CE, while I've played it briefly, I can't say much about it, was a long time ago.
I liked them, they were great games, but I still don't understand why the internet has such a rage boner for anyone who says it's not the best game ever.

But playing forge on H3 is a hoot though. Not so much as HL2:DM killbox grav guns only, but a hoot regardless.


Although I still think the fall from space is bullshit, your bones would be crushed under the sudden deceleration and your internal organs squished against the armour, chief should have been reduced to a squishy flesh milkshake. Not even Jeb Kerman survives that sort of fall.

Playstation, because that was the console that's accompanied me for most of my life. I actually found my PSP again about a week ago and it's a really great feeling to continue my old savegames from 2009/2010 while sitting in the bus.
XBox has got halo, but PS's got the Sly Cooper, Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter (one of which is Jak X, the best combat racing game in existence), and other exclusive series, as well as things like Heavy Rain or The Last Of Us*. Also Final Fantasy, though that shared with Nintendo(?) (FF13 does not count. To hell with Lightning.). All in all the Playstation overkills the Xchest without breaking a sweat.

Though I use the PC much, much more than the consoles. REMEMBER: THE PC IS NOT A CONSOLE. THE QUESTION IS WHAT CONSOLE YOU PREFER.
And seriously, the Wii?! WTF is wrong with you?!?



* Screw you, Naughty Dog, for not continuing the J&D-series -.- As if those Uncharteds weren't enough you just had to drop even that and continue with something completely new. Get. Real. People want sci-fi GTA.

Don't tell anybody, but to this day I have a faint hope for Futurecraft, or something similar to it, to happen. Within my lifetime.

Yeah, I think I'll vote Playstation just for Ratchet & Clank.

PC is obviously superior to all.

@Halo, I didn't mind the CE story, 2 is aight, 3 is stretching it, Reach made sense and NO FRAKKING FLOOD (seriously, wasting six mags on the cloud of giant popcorn), and only a couple of BS moments.

PC is superior, and no one here will say anything else, but the question was about consoles, and PC is not a console.
And I, too, hate the flood.

I didn't have any problems with Reach's story. I quite enjoyed it. I agree about the Flood, too.

I think I've pinned down the reason (or a reason) fighting the Flood sucks. On Flood levels in Halo 1, there are exactly four enemies: Infection Forms, Carrier Forms, Human Combat Forms, and Elite Combat Forms. Halo 2 adds one more: Brute Combat Forms. Halo 3 adds Stalker, Tank, and Ranged forms to that, so by Halo 3 Flood levels have 8 enemies. On Covenant levels in Halo 3, you get Grunt Minors, Grunt Majors, Grunt Ultras, Grunt Heavies, Spec-Ops Grunts, Jackal Minors, Jackal Majors, Jackal Snipers, Elite Minors, Elite Majors, Elite Ultras, Elite Honor Guards, Spec-Ops Elites, Elite Zealots, Elite Ranger Minors, Elite Ranger Majors, Stealth Elites, Drones, Hunters, Brute Minors, Brute Majors, Brute Chieftains, various Jump Pack Brutes, Brute Stalkers, and Engineers. I'm sure I'm forgetting some. And there are vehicles as well: Ghosts, Wraiths, Banshees, Phantoms, Shadows and Specters (in Halo 2), Prowlers, Choppers, etc. There's vastly more variety and vastly more fun.

PC is the one true god race of games. In the future there will be no consoles. Only TV's with quantum computers.
