The problem with this statement is, you look for the problems as part of your working hours, as opposed to casually using it in spare time, this is the difference, you will find the same issue with people who have to sort out consoles, they can say the same thing that it is more problematic prone cos their job is to look for it.Quote:

Unfun fact: PSN is always down. EVERY. DAMN. DAY.

All I see is a bunch of PC master race people thinking they are superior, a console life span is what like 10 years? Day 1 you pop in a game and play it no problems, year 8 you can still pop in the latest game and play it no problems. Now you can buy brand new computer today and play all your glorious games at max settings but what about 5, 6, 8 years from now? To continue playing at max settings you most likely have to upgrade your system or buy completely new one. You going to be pouring a lot more money into a PC to play the latest games then you do for a console which is why lot of people prefer it. Also this whole topic is about not being able to get on PSN to play one game FFXIV not other games which I quote from earlier post

Actually us "pc master race" people are offering a valid solution. This isn't SE's problem, it's Sony's bureaucracy being pushed upon you being forced to sign into their network. If you want to use their consoles, you gotta suck it up and deal with their policies. SE has no control over what Sony is enforcing on the Playstation gamers, but if you went the route of a PC, you wouldn't have to put up with Sony's crap anymore.
I'm not interested in debating with people over 'opinions' or overly dramatic statistical data. I'm stating a simple fact. I feel for you guys but this is also why I don't buy Sony products. I know their policies suck, so I don't support them with my money. Keep giving Sony your money and you keep supporting the things you hate. Capitalism 101. -
02-03-2015, 04:14 AMTiggyMy solution is the one where I can play regardless of a system maintenance unrelated to the game. The existence of this thread suggests to me it's the right solution for more than just myself. Since Sony likely won't lift the requirement to sign into their service first that leaves me with the pc.Quote:

02-03-2015, 04:18 AMKosmos992kShow me any corporation offering goods and/or services to consumers who's policies do not in fact suck. Show me a EULA that does not reserve all rights to the corporate behind it and limit almost every right of the consumer. You're being very blinkered in your view if you're not applying that same logic to damn near everything in your life.Quote:

Sony is not a company with limitations that I can tolerate so my money doesn't go to them, it goes to what I can tolerate. This is the same logic if you were going to choose someone for a relationship and marriage right? No one is perfect but if you can accept their shortcomings, you can get along just fine. There's lots of corporations out there with lots of various policies, I support the ones I can deal with. This thread implies that a lot of people cannot tolerate Sony's crap so perhaps it's time to move on.Quote:

In this situation PC does not have a limitation the PS3/4 does have and specifically one that is a policy in place by Sony. We aren't have a meta-physical debate about our socioeconomic situations in life. We are talking about the differences between two platforms for the purposes of playing this game specifically.Quote:

PSN being down every day isn't a fact. Just saying in case you want to adjust your thread title.
