Arstechnica- Considering that the PC is the platform that birthed both the first-person shooter and the MMO, many PC game fans are a bit perturbed that Activision and Bungie have yet to confirm a PC version of its recently unveiled FPS-meets-MMO Destiny. Bungie co-founder Jason Jones threw a bit more fuel on the fire of perceived PC gaming disrespect, though, by telling Destructoid that, in essence, Halo made keyboard and mouse controls obsolete.
Taken literally, this statement is inaccurate on its face. There are obviously still millions of people playing first-person shooters on their PCs with a mouse and keyboard (and more than a few games that don't have recharging health, automatic saves, and the like). But Jones' general point is clear: keyboard-and-mouse players are getting less and less important, from a business perspective, in the console-dominated first-person shooter market that Halo spawned. On this point, it's really hard to argue with Jones.
NoobFeed editor Jay Claassen writes - One Last Breath looks great from a distance but that notion changes very quickly when you start playing it. There’s endless potential and it needs a ton more polish before it can really take off but even then, there needs to be more intrigue to hold anybody’s attention.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "I tried not to compare South Park: Snow Day to The Stick of Truth and The Fractured But Whole, but considering it is still a sequel of sorts, it’s hard not to feel massively disappointed with this game. We went from gorgeous and hilarious RPGs to a bland, boring, uneventful action roguelike with baffling graphical design choices, underwhelming controls, and an overall gameplay loop you have experienced dozens of times before. The sense of humor alone is not worth the admission ticket. After being given some high quality wagyu from Obsidian Entertainment and Ubisoft San Francisco over the past years, it’s hard to go back to this spoiled truck stop beef jerky."
PC hit Seed of Life is finally coming to consoles, with a release date announced for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox.
I still can't believe that people still want to use letters and the space bar for playing games. It's damned near prehistoric.
The mouse is sharp and quick, and it seems like it only has plusses, untill you realize that there's no restrictions on the character models letting you turn a 180 at 34583 miles an hour.
Sticks do let you feel the weight, so it isnt as clear cut as PC gamers like to think.
"Sorry to say it" just screams bush league journalism. Wait, this is Ars Technica? Get your act together guys!
A mouse is SOOO much better for aiming, but for movement the controller will always top the keyboard.
I wonder, maybe they could introduce a kind wii-mote like controller for the left hand for moving, and then you could retain the mouse in your right hand for aiming / looking...
PC army, ASSEMBLE!
I hope this doesn't become the FotM article.
