I think it depends though.. a game like perfect dark was 'new' for its time.. a FPS (not RPG/FPS, just flat out FPS) to have a pretty good story, and awesome content to unlock to boot.. great stuff..
I've been looking at vids of this game.. and the multiplayer doesnt even look that great / special... if the single player is as lame as everyone says, but the multiplayer made up for it 10-fold.. I could see being forgiving.. but it looks very copy/paste

Yes, but MLG is completely focused on multiplayer, because that is essentiallly their job. And a series having 6 books based completely on the story shows that it is not as average and cliche` as people say.
And in mamy ways, Halo is known to have set the bar for shooters.

lol yeah.. for PC, quite a few shooters have paved the way for what we play todaythough strangely as of late Ive been preferring console shooters.. something more inviting about them
I, personally, have never really liked PC shooters. Really, the only genre I like on the PC beter than consoles is RTS.

Regardless of opinion, mouse and keyboard provide faster and more accurate controls allowing for better play. From any objective point of view, therefore, they are superior.

Wrong.
The Wii-Mote does with motion +
😆
I would rather play a very resonsive FPS with motion+ than any other form in gaming. Using the nunchuk with the remote is da bomb.
Still, I want a little more out of it, like strafing.
And, no, I still am better with a controller when playing an FPS, than when I use a computer. Fer realz.
Playing an RTS, keyboard and mouse, by FAR!
An action RPG, controller...definite.
MMO, a keyboard and mouse.
KOTR republic and RPGs like it, I'm mixed. KOTR itself, I liked the controller. This one can't be done objectively.
To be literal, I've probably logged more PC gaming hours than console gaming hours. I am using a PC for most of the day, everyday, even on my days off.

No, they put in auto-aim because the controller is less precise than the mouse. Trying to aim for a head is alot easier on a mouse while aiming for a head on the controller without auto-aim is frustrating.
There might be a few people, and of course one of them is you that can do it well enough to be equal to a mouse but the majority of the time, its much easier with a mouse. And natural.
