Which platform would you play Vanguard on?

I personally love console games, but for MMOs, PCs are the way to go.

New Gen consoles could very easily become PCs. You'd never know the difference between someone with an XBOX 360 and a Dell... unless the person is like,

"Uh, I gotta go AFK... I think my house just caught on fire from my XBOX...."

voted PC , Hmm have to think about it now because i will be picking up a x-box 360 possibly in the future. (holding off). Still would play it PC before x-box 360

I was trying to put this lightly but frankly console users are largely jerks. People on PCs all generally have similar personalities and I like that a lot better.

With the amount of buttons a console controller has, it's a wonder people manage to make games at all. An MMO definately wouldn't work, or at least take-off at all on a console.

How about that final fantasy one on ps2? (11 or 12?)

FFXI, and that was my MMO for a good year and a half I never played it on PS2 though. Basically what happened with that was that movement and camera were mapped to the analog sticks. Enter and Escape were X and O. Triangle was Open Main Menu. I forget what [ ] was. Then the shoulder buttons were mappable hotkeys. But since you needed to type to communicate anyways, there were also all the Ctrl/Alt + number hotkeys as well. Additionally, it's about to get released on the Xbox360, so it's very much a console/PC hybrid. On that note though, Vanguard wouldn't translate too well at all since it wasn't designed firstoff to be for a console.

And as a side note... More buttons =/= better game. Those with the most fluid and intuitive control schemes are what end up being the best. Honestly, most PC games have too many unmemorable shortcut keys that I just never end up learning too well. MMOs are fine, since it's all mainly based on numbers represented in a hotbar and I can learn that...

There is a pretty big market for them in Japan. There are probabally a couple of dozen MMPORPGs made for the ps2 exclusively. It's really a shame that most of them never get ported to the US. This is also why alot of US based MMPORPGs don't do so well in Japan despite doing well in other countries such as China and South Korea. To the Japanese consoles are for video games computers are for work.

I was trying to put this lightly, too, but frankly, judging people like this isn't very nice - nor is it sound.

Anyways, on topic, I'll play Vanguard on the PC I'm going to get sometime before release.
