And the controller. And the integration into Windows is nice. I also like Games with Gold.


oh yeah, if they're 360 games you get to keep them after your subscription runs out

on that note, backwards compatibility

In terms of what people want, it's rarely the absolutely most powerful console more than a good balance between affordability, library, and power though. XBOX is lopsidedly dependent on the power more than anything

If your friends are on it and you like playing online then that would be the biggest reason.
Some smaller reasons would include the controller which some people find better, TV pass through.

And tbh as chill said, Forza is a great series if you're into racing games. You can just get it on PC though if you have a capable one.

Analog sticks

I'll never understand why people would put up with such an awkward method when a mouse offers 1:1 movement

I think it's just preference. I've tried playing shooters on PC with a mouse and it feels more awkward than anything else. I've always felt more comfortable with controllers once that became a thing. Ever since Halo CE, I fell in love with shooters on consoles over PCs.

How is a mouse awkward? You literally just point at what you want to shoot instead of holding a stick and waiting for your cursor to get where you want it go

I always thought using the keyboard to move was more awkward than using a stick

That's impressively specific, yet amazingly widespread and accurate.

I got lucky with my wife in this regard.

Me: "I feel lazy because I played video games for like 5 hours today."
Her: "You're never lazy. You deserve it. I watched movies all day, what's the difference?"

yea when i said that to my wife she laughed and agreed, end of the day she doesnt care if im playing a game as long as we get to spend time together and im getting shit i need done. thats the worst part, you have to prioritize other things over video games now

I find I have more precision and control with my thumb than I do having to rely on my wrist to controller the mouse.

How long did you even try a mouse?

Seems like you didn't really try because not only is mouse easier, it's objectively better

Relax, everybody knows KB+M gives you better control, but some people just play video games to relax, not get optimal performance in competitive FPS games.

Probably 5-6 years.

5-6 years of using a mouse in shooters but you still prefer controllers? Your story isn't making sense here

I think you just want it to be because that's your preference. Are you having a hard time understanding what preferences are?

I understand what a preference is. You prefer controllers despite them being awkward and terribly suited for shooter games

This is not hard to grasp.

Best control method for a type of game = weird

It's called preference. I've been gaming since 1986. I like what I like and I'm certainly not alone.

Help me understand why someone would prefer an inferior control method that only hinders performance in a genre meant to be competitive

If you feel that way about controllers for FPSs, that's fine. That isn't the case for everyone. I wouldn't burst a blood vessel in your forehead about it. Calm down.

It's not the way I feel. It's fact. Pointing and clicking on targets, obviously a device designed for pointing and clicking is better than a device NOT designed for pointing and clicking.

Maybe you should have a drink to calm down?

I'm perfectly calm.
