Re: Console gaming and TG

**Root** · 11-04-2006, 03:55 AM

As far as console gaming goes, I don't have an xbox, and won't be getting one. If anyone fancies some PS2 burnout 3 fun, I'd quite possibly be up for that.

Fenix thanks for the excellent post. Dude to my ?roomate's wife's insistence? an XBOX 360 was purchased for our household today. Just from playing a free demo I can see the potential here for TG. Rainbow Six:Vegas is amazing to see. The squad-system in Chromehouds means we could achieve TG-style gameplay, at least on our side. Assuming 'Hounds don't bunny-hop, the team we play against can be as smacktarded as they like I suppose. Less than optimal if they are as immature as this thread proports, but nevertheless, I think it would be presumptuous to say TG teamwork wouldn't find challenges out there. There are organized friend 'groups' or clans for many games I believe. As for server administration, we may have to settle for pub raiding to start as a TG core community builds and proves itself worthy of a TG 'server' (dedicated XBOX hosting a game?). I think that task would give us more than enough of a task to occupy our efforts.

Not really. In any FPS, the guy with the joystick is going to be at an EXTREME disadvantage to the guy with a mouse and keyboard. In fact, I've noticed a lot of auto-aiming help with BF2:MC for 360. With how fast-paced the action is, it's almost needed.

The sniper rifle is pretty much a one-hit kill weapon when used right. That, combined with a mouse, would make sniper the only class worth using as I find that kit particularly over powered in the game.

Basically, if it's worth making for PC and Console: it's worth buying on PC.

I believe alot of TGer's have consoles and would enjoy playing together as we do on PC's. I have a Xbox/Live and would like to play with some TGer's on a weekly bases. Perhaps I'll start a thread in the console section as I enjoy playing Halo 2.

In many ways, I enjoying playing a console over a PC. Alot of the time I get sick of the headaches that can come with a PC: system requirements, settings, downloads, patches, upgrading video cards, error messages, etc, etc.

It's nice to just load a game into a console and 99% of the time the game is going to work and does not require a computer science degree to operate. My Xbox Live service is easy to navigate/use and I'm in game quickly. After a long day sometimes it's nice to hit play and play the game rather than fixing the game.

I understand that the Wii is going to allow us to go head to head with Super Mario Brothers!

I'd rather lay the beat down in Super Smash Bros.

The original was released for N64 and a sequel for Gamecube. I should lay a beatdown on you for not knowing that.

Oh, come on. I can't stand consoles, never own one and never have, but Super Smash Brothers and its sequel are the best party games ever. So much fun.

I've played an N64 exactly one time in a store, and I've never touched a GameCube.

Sue me.

I believe form what i have read on here that for the most...if not all gamers on here have a firm grip on the concept of gaming as a hole, hence the name Tactical Gamer. So it would be very easy to see some top notch games set up via xbox live, and played to their true potential.

From a personal perspective playing the likes of (Battlefield 2 Modern Combat) on Xbox live. There is nothing worse then playing alongside the circus, everyone running around like headless chickens with no true direction void of tactical play, and as a result find myself jumping on the bandwagon.
