Binding Coil on PS3

So with Twintania now officially confirmed to not be "unkillable" after BG's world first win, I would assume over the next few weeks we will see another win or two reported. However as a PS3 player myself, I was wondering how long do you all think it will be before a PS3 group downs all five turns?

I've yet to even attempt turn 1 as I've only just got my first relic, but was interested to see everyone's opinion on it. Would also be interesting to hear of how far any PS3 players have gotten so far.

Views from both PC and PS3 players appreciated :)

I play primarily on a ps3, have since launch. I haven't been very active in the Coil, due to not having a static/schedules not aligning with friends schedules. That said, I have been up to turn 2, but no further. So from what I can say, being on a PS3 does not in any way alter my play experience for being able to do turn 1 or 2. There is no issues depending on platform. If someone has issues, it isnt because of the hardware, it's the users themselves.

Our group has PS3 players and we've cleared turns 1-4 (haven't even tried turn 5).

We have voice chat requirement though (to listen, don't need to have a mic).

As long as u have access to voice chat, platform does not matter at all.

i'm ps3 have been, never used pc either and i've done turn 1 hoping to do turn 2 this week, i don't think people NEED teamspeak/voicechat as long as you know what you're doing i guess because it's crap on ps3 as no access to teamspeak or nothing :(

Good to see the overall consensus is that platform does not matter :)

I hate these threads. PS3 makes you no different in terms of being able to play this game. If you suck at PS3 then you'd suck on a computer. Some people are just better at games than others and it's as simple as that.

I've finished Turn 2 and the group I was in had no desire to even try 3. I tend to have a difficult time progressing because of my work schedule.

You say that but a lot of "elitists" complain about PS3 users, and I even had someone in a DF group refuse to even start because I was playing on PS3.

I think the only issue with PS3 would be the lack of battleping. This consideration from BG comments on Twintania win.

So playing on PS from anywhere but USA seems like a limit.... I hope to prove wrong sicne I play from PS3 from Italy =_(

I do the same thing. Got Skype, mumble, and raidcall on my laptop and just turn one of those on, plug in a wireless mic (or a wired one now that my daughter ate my other one) and talk away while on the PS3.

We use Mumble, I think they run it on laptop. Also several of our PC players play with controllers instead of mouse and keyboard.

I play on PS3, live in Toronto Area. (Canada)

I've never had issues with any instances or Coil, turns 1-2 - haven't reached 3 with our group yet. Just started this past week. hope to get through to turn 4 this week :D

We use Mumble for voice chat. I use my cell phone with earbud/mic plugged in.
During a boss fight I never have to speak, I make sure I do my part and dodge. if I do need to say something I can push to talk or type on my wireless keyboard.
all while sitting in a nice big lazy boy.

I do agree with the fact that you do have to know how to play your class correctly and make sure you are following the fights mechanics.
Just because you bought the most expensive piece of hardware...doesn't mean you know how to use it.

cant wait for PS4 version...hopefully sooner than later!!!

Play well my friends!

Been doing Coil on the PS3 (Up to Turn 4), I use TS3 on my laptop to communicate with my group. Wouldn't be too surprised if a whole group of PS3 players did it though.
IMO, it's more about how skillful the players are, not necessarily the platform they're playing on (unless they're uncomfortable playing on it I guess? o_o).

Its because of idiots like these that you should always say you play on a PC.

They asked before we got moving if anyone was a PS3 player. When I said I was they did the /sit emote and refused to play, so I just had to leave :/

Me and my bf both play on PS3 and we've made it to T4 with our FC :). No problems or complaints whatsoever except for the occasional slip up from someone not dodging fast enough or forgetting to pass Rot xD. VOIP is not really needed if you know what to do.. it does help with faster communication, but you can do just fine without it. The only problem PS3 has is the load time for cutscenes, it doesn't make anyone a bad player ^^.
