Thread: Zilla NFL 2008 mock draft

I find aiming easier on the pc easier, you also get the advantage of being able to change the controls to whatever the hell you like. Another thing Which isn't really an advantage but can make it more fun is the console commands.

However, I do think that using an xbox is easier to get used to, and since you are a frequent xbox player you will probably have more friends to play with.

When it comes down to it, it's all about personal preference, some prefer pc, others Prefer xbox.

I found Xbox controls better, because I've used consoles for my whole life. PC controls don't take too long to get used to though, and doesn't make much of a difference.

stupid question, only thing console has over PC is conveniacne. you dont have to worry about drivers etc etc etc for a console and its pretty much a set price, so dont have to system build.... PC is king but lazy is the kings chair.... lazy being console.

That was a REAL help, seriously.

Though, let me be 100% honest with you, that comment would have actually not been that bad if it didn't say "stupid question". I mean, it still wouldn't have been much of a help, but it wouldn't have made you come off as a dick either. I'm sorry if I don't know everything about every fucking console there is, but you'll have to cut me some slack on my stupidity.

And I never asked about the convenience of the consoles or anything like that. I asked two simple questions. Both questions were about how to adapt to controls. Sorry if reading well isn't your strong point, I'll be sure to make the words stick out after I'm done with this post.

Also, if asking a question about adapting to controls is stupid, then please tell me what an intelligent question is. That way I don't taint this site with any more of my useless posts...

Ok, I plan on getting left for dead on the pc or mac soon depending on my immediate preferences. I play it a lot on the xbox. So much so that it almost feels like a second nature to me, I'm not trying to brag, I'm just trying to get you to understand my situation more clearly.

Anyway, a big question I have about left for dead on the PC is about it's controls.

Are the controls for the PC hard to get used to?

I would rather a person that's played it on both the PC and the Xbox answer the question, but either would do. If you can recall your experiences, about how long did it take you to adapt to the controls. Also:

If you were to choose, is aiming better on the Xbox or the PC, and why?

PC has a good and bad side for Left 4 Dead.

The GOOD is alot of custom campaigns..and at the same time The BAD is all the modding and configuring.

I mean, you can change almost everything from aura glows, aim'r size, vocal commands etc.

Which can be either really fun or really annoying depending on what side of the fence you are on. Either you see this as more anjoyable or game breaking and pointless.


As far as aimming goes..

I wouldn't say thats its that much easier to aim as it is its much easier to configure you mouse/pc to aim better and make it easier. I mean, i can put a stick ball in the center of my aimr on XBOX and increase my aim by a HUGE amount.... But on PC you can change the aim'r into anything you want, change the lag between players, make auras flash..etc.


I personally hate playing with a mouse..But you can always use a controller on PC.



Try going to the L4D1/2 steam forums and reading though how and what the community thinks and acts like. Its almost like xbox..Sadly, sometimes even worse. And whats sucks is Valve actually takes some of these people serious..:rofl:

I like the xbox better because I'm way more used to it. But i've only been playing PC for 4 days so my opinion might change.

Well, if you start getting used to it, tell me which one you like better. Your opinion is extremely valued since you started out on the xbox like me.

Well, for me, even though I'm fully used to PC controls now, I still prefer Xbox controls. Part of this is obviously habit, but another part of this is me being a pretty frantic player. In pressured situations I have a habit of...flailing...and panicking... a little. Because of this, using a mouse is more difficult, because moving my arms causes my aim to go with a mouse, but because I just use my thumbs of joysticks, it doesn't effect me there. It's just a personal thing, but that's what this is, a personal issue. You could be fine.
