I think you need to do a LOT more study. Look up the word "opinion" and learn the actual meaning before trying to use it. Especially in an acronym, which implies a clear enough awareness of the word to not even feel the need to type it in full.
Broo Voogo wrote:- Better graphics (IMHO)
Current-gen PCs are provably superior to any gaming console in graphical capabilities. This is NOT opinion, it's fact. Also, calling it opinion implies that the other points, not specifically labelled as opinions, are fact. Lets see, shall we?
Quote:- Way better control, less stuttering, more sensible
So, "better" control how? And what makes a PC "more sensible" than a console? Neither of these is an objective term, negating any possible claim of anything except opinion. Furthermore, the terms are nebulous and poorly-defined, meaning that in addition to being opinion, it's not even a well-presented opinion.
In a technical sense, the standard KB/M control scheme on a PC is better for precision aim than the standard console gamepad/controller setup. BUT the game has full KB/M support (a little buggy right now, but it's still a work in progress). Additionally, while you have better precision aim with a mouse, the console default controller allows for better precision and fluidity of movement, which effectively makes KB/M the ideal sniper control option, and sixaxis the ideal CQC control option. Another point is that the Move (more problems than KB/M at present, unfortunately) has, on a technical level if not a practical one, at least some aspect of the advantages of both of the other control schemes. Using a sixaxis controller and a mouse is also a viable option - awkward, but gives some advantages over both KB/M and controller-only setups.
There is NOTHING about which platform is "better" for a shooter that actually applies to DUST, except in terms of playerbase. Console shooters have provably larger playerbases than the equivalent game on PC. This alone makes a console a "better" option for a company to be releasing a shooter on, assuming they intend for it to earn them money.
Quote:- Easier setup of voice communication
And this is PROVABLY FALSE. When the game itself supports the functionality inherent in the system, setting up voice comms on a console is MUCH easier than on PC. It's plug and play in a far more real sense than any PC hardware.
Quote:- Endless list of other points...
But without listing them, you leave yourself WIDE open for the counter-argument of an "endless list" of counter-points that explain why a console game is a better option. |
