Left 4 Dead

Daz were we on normal last night?

I suspect the game is somewhat easier in SP as quite often the AI players are spotting stuff crawling the rooftops etc. which I just don't bother to do and I suspect a lot of other human players don't. That along with natural human stupidity in general

Hope that explains the comment

I'm not having a go at you in particular, but I've seen so many comments about FPS games being so much better on the PC than console, it's simply pissing me off. If people prefer to use a mouse and keyboard, then fair play to them. Say that as your reason, as you just did there, but don't say that using a pad makes the game rubbish, because it doesn't (again, not aimed at you, just a general rant).

I'll quite happily play an FPS on a console but given the choice i'll always take the PC in preference as it just feels an infinitely more natural way to play.

Again, down to personal preference. I don't really mind a little assistance, though if a game had none and had me rely on my skill with a pad, I'd be happy as well (it would certainly sharped up my skills). I don't see how it ruins the game though, but hey, that's just me, and probably not an argument/discussion to start in this therad.

Probably found it harder because you were on console so you can't aim properly

[divine]

Chase me all you like, you'll never be able to hit me with it

[Daz]

He wouldn't be able to find you anyway, not being able to get online and all

[divine]

I can get online though, just setting up a friends only game doesn't seem to work. However, on PC it looks for dedicated servers, which obviously the day a demo is released are probably in bloody short supply, so it might just be that.
