Wait, did you have the PC version of Borderlands though? If so, I wonder why we never played together on Borderlands 1 in the first place >_>

Ohh blergh, yeah I forgot your a PC dude. I knew there was a reason we hadn't played the first together. So you'll be getting it for PC again then? Show your PS3 some love!

Careful now or you'll start to sound like a PC elitist.

Yeah, but I did say it wasn't elitism, just fact >_>

I tried playing Resistance 2 for example, after a while of playing PC games...Horribly clunky and I gave up after an hour or so. Resistance 1 was the game that really got me interested in FPS games in the first place (I liked a couple before that, but never became a fan).

I've got nothing against consoles really, I have the PS3 and 360 for exclusives and such, it's just FPS controls are vastly inferior on consoles *shrugs*. For example, there was this PC styled controller (mouse type thing and keyboard) designed for the PS3 and it worked with a few games I think. The person at the top of the charts on one of the games used it exclusively. Anybody who plays FPS on PC with mouse and Keyboard will tell you that Mouse+Keyboard system works better. There might be some exceptions with certain games (like games that were console ports and the Mouse+Keyboard integration sucked horribly, with no keymapping and such, and other unique examples).

Also, I use the controller for most of the other PC games I play, even Third Person Shooters. It's specifically FPS games where M/KB controls excel. There are plenty of games where Controller >>> M/KB. Racing games come to mind.

@Existence - It takes a bit of getting used to, though I guess it wouldn't be for everyone in the end. Also, Borderlands would be nice for cross-platform, since it's mainly co-op (so no horrible imbalance between PC and 360 players like with most FPS games). The game would need to be GFWL though, and a lot of PC users (not including myself, particularly) really hate it >_>

Took em long enough to announce a sequel

quote Shane

You can't say FPS controls on a console are inferior as a fact. That's an opinion, not a fact. Some people like Mouse/Keyboard FPS', some don't.

Well first of all let me say that I'm a huge console player and even though I have pc games I just love the feel of a controller on my hands and yes this discussion is better off somewhere else but mouse/keyboard are in fact superior to controllers. There is a reason why games are not cross compatible with consoles and keyboards, valve themselves tried to do this with team fortress 2 and left 4 dead but realized that pc players greatly outskilled console players on the fact that the mouse gave them an unfair advantage. Mouse allows you a sense of freedom that a stick on a controller cannot compare to, in seconds you can aim back, take a shot, aim forward and still have total view on your surroundings.

I will always prefer a controller and I even use one when I play my pc version of Portal/Left4dead and Team fortress but when it comes down to competitive play I plug in my mouse and play on that because I'll be at a huge disadvantage when playing with others.

If you're not trying to continue an off topic discussion, then you're doing a bad job of it, 'cause you clearly just posted a paragraph about it. If you don't want to continue it, then don't say you don't want to and do anyway. Just don't. It's pretty simple.

It's an introduction thread. If you want a Mouse and Keyboard versus Controller thread, then make one.

Hey, Two_Step here.

As everyone else is, I'm totally pumped for a sequel. The wait for this game is going to kill me though

Hi I'm Moores! I was a big fan of the first game so I'm probably going to be a big fan of this aswell
