You were talking about FPS's. The image I posted is a screenshot of one (Metroid Prime 3). You said "I was talking about FPS's". I linked you there so you could find out that Metroid Prime 3 is an FPS.

Yes, but I'm saying that mouse and keyboard is the best controls currently for a FPS

And I'm saying that Wii remote + nunchuk is the best controls for FPS's.

But it's not though at the moment. You can do far more things with the mouse/keyboard set-up. It's not just about the aiming, you have to consider movement etc. A skilled PC player would run circles around someone using a wiimote if the games were compatible and thats purely because of ease of movement whilst aiming etc.

Actually, I did specify that when it comes to games where you benefit from precision, I've yet to experience anything better than keyboard + mouse, precision being the keyword. I don't think the wiimote and the nunchuck will be better precision-wise, but I guess it might be fun. I've played Wii games, but no FPSes yet.

Even if you had a gun controller that was accurate to 1 pixel, it still wouldn't be the best controller as the movement wouldnt be as good.

Isn't it a bit of a pain in the arse sometimes as well, though? I mean, followers have a tendency of blocking doorways and corridors!

On my last playthrough, I picked up Fawkes and Dogmeat really late in the game (lvl 27+) and they were effectively immortal. They had so much HP, they could both take several direct hits with small nukes!

It gets pretty annoying, and I have to start focusing on stimpaks/ammo/dropped weapons and whatnot, but it is still awesome to take my 5 man BoS squad and surprise attack an Enclave base. Fawkes makes everything stupidly easy as well. I imagine having 8 followers can get on your nerves eventually.

But after having to defend against mole rats with a baseball bat for survival in the early game, it is very very very satisfying to just be lord of the wasteland.

I also did a mercenary group for awhile, when it was Jericho, Charon, Clover, Butch, and I all in Leather Armor with 'small guns'.

Plus, nothing tops having all eight followers, then going into the Citadel (without saving) and punching one BoS soldier, thus starting a full blown war/genocide of the Citadel, of followers vs. BoS soldiers.

If in doubt, save and rampage Rivet City and Megaton. Beeeyootiful.

Double X · 08-26-2009, 08:26 PM

I know dude, I have accumulated 18 mini nukes, I never use them, only when I am bored and have already saved. Shooting the Experimental MIRV into megaton is just - wow.

The funniest thing about followers is that when you accidently shoot someone in a town, everyone turns hostile to you and your follower(s) just go bezerk.

I also attended the wedding in Rivet City with Charon, and we reenacted Kill Bill as soon as they were about to say 'I do'.

You may have a point here, but the Wii's movement is damn close.
