People complaining about PS3 Players

[TokyieRage]

Stop. It is stupidly ignorant.

I play on PS3. I never get hit by ANYTHING in Titan, I silence High Voltage every time, Am on my 4th relic, Rarely ever lag, and do FATEs perfectly fine.

Its a stupid elitist issue, PC players obviously havent played on ps3 so they dont know what they are talking about when they say the problem is always ps3 players.

Literally the ONLY difference is graphics and that has very little affect on gameplay.

If you don't like the graphics on PS3, get a PS4. But every titan fight I see PC players get hit by Plumes and Landslide, etc Way more Then I do as a PS3 Player.

All of my friends would agree with you EXCEPT when healing. They say being a healer for 8 mans on controller is stupid and takes a lot more time than on keyboard.

Healing may not be 'terrible' on controller, but it will never be as fast or efficient as a keyboard. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

That is true, healing with a controler adds handicap to the task, is doable but is still easier with keyboard and mouse. This also affects to the other roles but in a different and less notorius way.

I still havent used my WHM in 8man content so I can't say that is my experience though.

EDIT: I'm not insullting any ps3 user nor it is my intention as I'm a ps3 user as well and suffer the same comments of people if I tell them which is my system.

There is literally nothing in this game class or quest that is too hard to do on a PS3 controller. Tanking, healing, dps, instances, primals, everything can be done on a controller at least as good as on a keyboard and mouse. Except chatting lol, that takes a little extra effort.

Indeed, is funny cause is true!

It's not true at all. If you think a controller is AS good as mouse and keyboard, you're on drugs. Is it adequate? Sure, but go saying it's as good, and I will have a good chuckle.
Your post gave me a good chuckle as well.

Could you possibly post some sources of what was limited by the PS3?
If not Sources or it didn't happen.

Graphics for one. It's bad enough when eye candy is limited to take into account people on toasters, but then you got cross platform on a 7 year old console that cant even manage 720p, and and has to do it at 30fps, with other settings equivalent to low on PC.
The skill delay I'll bet is because of designing around the PS3. There's no other possible excuse for the horrible, clunky skill delay.
And have you ever noticed how PS3 players move? The look like they're keyboard turning, with the analog stick.
Sources not needed btw. Simple facts.

the movement thing is as simple as them changing their settings from legacy to standard. standard they will move and strafe more like a pc using wasd, on legecy its more like moving with the arrow keys

Um..there is no difference what so ever between WSAD vs arrow keys except for the location on the keyboard.

Do you work for SE? Sorry if ignore you as a source.
You can use mouse and keyboard on PS3, i am sure you know of this. You can move just like a PC player.
Unless you can come up with something other than hear say evidence then don't bother. I have seen all the bedroom expert guesswork before.

Yes the PS3 has limitations but it doesn't mean it will effect the PC version of the game to a degree where it will make the game any less fun.
It is just the usual PC is the best rubbish.

Yes PCs are capable of upgrade, yes they have the better graphics and yes they have the substandard coding that goes into the games.
You see the simple fact is this. PC tech moves so fast that most games are thrown out far from running as well as they should be. That is ok though because people will just spend more money on upgrading their PC to compensate and patches will be thrown out for any game breaking problems.

Consoles on the other hand get well optimized games which tend to get the most of the hardware available. As the console ages the coders get so good at optimization that they end up being able to get far more out of the hardware than anyone ever did when it was top spec for PC.

Which means despite the PS3s obvious lack of power it isn't as much of a problem as everyone seems to think it is.

Also how was the eye candy limited for PC because of the PS3? I see the PS3 version of the game everyday. Yes it is far from PC standard (which i see everyday as well) but most of the effects on the PS3 are on the PCs higher settings, shadows and that sort of thing.

This is so full of ignorance it's sad.
Every single game that's available on both PC and console, is better on PC. There is no " substandard coding", or at least no more so than the original it's ported from. And when it's originally on PC and ported to console... the PC version is still the best.
The Witcher 2, BF3, Batman AA/AC, Skyrim..you name it, they're better on PC.
Please...go learn a thing or two before typing such misinformed rubbish....
Every game that's "rushed out" is not the fault of " substandard coding" or whatever other hyperbole you want to throw around. That's the fault of publishers. A)It's nothing a patch doesn't fix and B) the console version of a bad launch is always victim as well.
And I don't need to "work for SE". There is no debate, these are objective facts.
You ask how the PS3 effects the PC version. It's simple. It's called a base line. Imagine if the baseline didn't use low end pc's and ps3 for a frame of reference for low settings. What would" low" settings be? What if developers were able to do WHATEVER they wanted using 7870/gtx660 as a min? It would be a higher quality baseline.
But a large chunk of people don't know wtf they're doing, have a piece of crap PC that's little more than a HTPC with a low end GPU in it and expect dev's to revolve the game around their ignorance and pc illiteracy. I can't count the forum threads I've seen with illiterates using a $25 gpu wondering why a game is a slide show. I mean...come on. And developers sadly CATER to these nimrods so it "runs on a wide range of hardware".

The PS3 is running FF14 at a resolution that doesn't even amount to 720p ( it's a squashed mangled almost but not quiet 720p), at 30fps, missing anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, along with shorter draw distance, lower resolution textures, more simplistic meshes, no ambient occlusion and long load times.
In short, roughly the same as low settings on PC.

You sir, are one of those not too tech savy types, that can't be bothered to learn a thing or two about pc hardware, are unable to manage simple problems and find consoles safe, simple and adequate. Fine, great, but you're taking it a step further being totally uninformed, uneducated and comfortable in your own little world arguing what I say.
There is no " optimized" console version of a game. You're living in a dream world. I have many popular modern games that are available for both console and PC, that run flawlessly on my PC. Not only flawlessly, but making the console version look terrible.

The next gen consoles will bridge the gap for a couple years, but we'll be back here again.

Im not even gonna bother responding to the below posts. I already pointed out the existence of a game that gets ported FROM console to PC.
In either case, it's better on PC. It's hilarious you argue it, and I havnt seen this " unoptimized code" you speak of in years. Again, not any more so than it is on console. It is what it is, it's NEVER better on console. Even when GTA4 ran like crap, it was light years better than the horribad low fps,low draw distance stutter fest that was the console version.

It's so damn true! pS3 player here!

You are wrong, tested this myself, I cant beat the cooldown on PC faster than I can on ps3, your argument is invalid.

I said nothing about cooldowns. I'm referring to speed of targeting different members on the fly and having to press one button or having to scroll through a list of people with the controller. Either way, I'm going off the experience of my friends since I prefer keyboard, myself.
