Re: So you guys want specifics on game design eh..

In Response To: Re: So you guys want specifics on game design eh.. (Hunt3r)


: think a lot of the people who dislike modifications to the game that
: increase dependence on skill instead of strategy are playing a console FPS
: for exactly that reason: there's less of a skill component, since the
: controls suck for everybody.

Incorrect.

Let me quote Alex Kierkegaard:

"The console versions require JUST AS MUCH physical reflexes and precision as the PC version. The control device does not make THE SLIGHTEST DIFFERENCE. This is because EVERYONE who plays the console versions is using A CONTROLLER. It's not like they are asking you to go against people who are using a mouse, for christsake. All that matters then is the RELATIVE skill -- not the ABSOLUTE skill. And the relative skill can be improved indefinitely regardless of the control method. They could give all players chopsticks with which to press keys on a keyboard, and this would in no way affect the degree of physical skill required to win."
