Title: Counterstrike: Global Offensive
Post by: DoubleGunz on June 28, 2012, 10:11:47 pm
I really hope you guys look in to this game and plan to buy it. Counterstrike is a series known for taking skill and also being very fun. It comes out in August on the PSN for $15. It's download only, not a disc game.

For those unaware with the Counterstrike series... shame on you.

Basically, it's a really simple game and that's why it takes so much skill.

Don't be turned off by how simple it looks - that's a good thing!

Yea, simplicity is never a bad thing for me. Look at CoD4, and even MoH2.

I love how much dislikes the video has because of PC fanboys hating that the console is getting the game. I'll definitely get it if there are others that will too.

Why would CS ever be on console. Ffs.

People act like this is the first time counterstrike has hit a console.


Title: Re: Counterstrike: Global Offensive
Post by: DoubleGunz on July 16, 2012, 06:35:27 pm
Why wouldn't it be? It's a game, and it's not owned by any first party company...  b)

watching people play shooters on consoles is like watching the special olympics

I would agree with that statement. Most of the time when I play an FPS I just close my eyes and shoot randomly.

Bitter PC players. They think they're so high and superior.

They spend $1,000 on graphics cards, they should feel that way. :P

You can build a decent gaming PC for around 500-600 nowadays.

They feel superior as a player though.

It's like when someone has a bigger house than you, does that make him a superior person?

It does. Because they have more cleaning ladies than you.

Who all has played Counterstrike before?

I used to play Source with Ingsmasha a bit waaaay back in the day, its pretty intense when there's like 24 players on each side and YOLO

I actually haven't. It doesn't look all that interesting but I'm really intrigued because everyone raaaaaves about it.



As for PC players being better...well I do think that the best on PC  fps will be better than the best on console fps and the simple reason why is that the mouse is so accurate that your margin of error becomes a lot smaller. Peak out a second too long and they blow your head open. On console you run all over the place and **** get become a total cluster****. You have to play a bit smarter to do well I think. Plus you have lag compensation and that **** so it's all a bit iffy anyway. Oh and there are still super ****ty PC players too. I see it on video all the damn time.

I don't care how much money someone has, i will never be looked down upon as a person.

It looks really simple and sort of bland, but that's what is so great about it. That's what makes CoD4 better than any other CoD (imo ofc). Competitive at its finest. O0

Yeah I thnk I saw DG posted something similar.

I know there are modes where you only have one life and I think that's kind of how I thought the game was overall. One life rounds and super small health. I think that's realllllly boring.

But I'll still wait and see it for myself before I go out and say it sucks or anything.

Yeah but the rounds don't last long at all. Imagine CoD snd, where you know the first 30 seconds of a round always feels like a football play almost, except it's that feeling CONSTANTLY

The reason CS works so well is that rounds are short/intense, and the gameplay is extremely balanced. Why should you live more than once when the objectives are ACTUAL objectives other than "get the most kills"? Plant/defuse bombs, save/defend hostages, wipe out the other team, etc It makes no sense to respawn with these





Thanks guys. I actually have no challenge to these statements. When you make a point, you make a point.

I'll check it out.

Any chance this game will be PS Move compatible?
