Yay4sean Yeah... Bungie is being all sorts of ridiculous here: http://www.destructoid.com/bungie-says-nobody-plays-shooters-the-way-they-used-to--245428.phtml

I think the quote was taken out of context; someone else mentioned

"he was referring to the fact that since Halo the FPS genre was fundamentally changed (Regenerating health/shields, two weapons only). Jones was saying that no one (an exaggeration, more like most people) plays FPS's with health packs and the ability to carry an unlimited amount of weapons."

In regards to PC:

"On the possibility of a PC version, Parsons said: "We would absolutely love to be on the PC. If you talk to the people upstairs, we play it on all platforms. So, stay tuned." No mention was made of a Wii U version."

No, Guest and LOD-squa, I'm not saying there's any true advantage. I'm saying people's preferences are clear. That's all. PC Gamers tend to be better gamers in general, as the console gaming market is more casual. Furthermore, you're right, once you get past the learning curve, mouse and keyboard is more precise. But people don't want to deal with that shit for the most part. They want ease of access, like LOD-squa said. They want a controller designed to fit in their hand and they want to be able to get passably good, fast. They don't care that if they worked at it, they could get good with PC. They don't want to work at it. People want convenience. That's all I'm saying, and I think that's all Bungie is saying. They don't define "better" as "you can play more precisely and react to developments quicker", they define it as "anybody can jump into playing with a controller on a console in a way they can't with a pc." And they did prove that shooters could be on a console. So it's not dumb at all, in my opinion.

Furthermore I never denied my post was about preference. That's exactly what it is about. I'm arguing the face that most people prefer controllers.

The trailer is impressive, the story sounds interesting too. I wish i could go to E3, it sucks that we don't get to see awesome conventions like E3 in Australia.
