Force PS3 players to migrate over to PS4 and then drop support for it

[Macka]

Just because I can afford something doesnt mean a company should force me to buy it. Note, I already have a PS4 and Xbox one but Im just saying lol.

I have really no issues playing on PS3 and my experience is fantastic...I guess the true test is when I finally play on PS4 and see if I have actually been "missing" something all along and just did not know it. Ignorance is bliss right now because I don't know what I am missing...maybe if I knew someone playing on a bad ass PC and got to see them play then I would know for sure. Are the graphics actually better? Or is it just the frame rate??

Many endgame fights require extremely tight timing and positioning, and/or a lot of wiping and reloading, all things the PS3 are terrible at especially for people who need stuff like Battleping to play since there isn't anything like that on the PS3

The biggest problem with the PS3 is that they can't do anything that the PS3 can't do, and the PS3 has a pitiful amount of memory even compared to a low-end computer, which severely limits the UI and overall featureset they can offer.

Op should probably get a new hard drive or ssd

Because bigger is better and everyone should want to play on the biggest screen possible. If you don't you might not be doing it right

All the pc players are gonna switch over when they see how great the ps4 is. Everyone says consoles are basically computers so ps4 is basically one of the top electronics brands making a 400$ gaming pc. Just the price kills a pc, why would anyone play with a more expensive inferior product? Customer loyalty? Keep the excuses coming why pc is better, ps4 is gonna kill pc. Plus it's gonna have chat. Yeah pc was better in 2013, but what parts in your pc were made when ps3 launched?

So no one has figured out the op was just farming likes?

I see that blaming it on PS2 limitations is alive and well, in a new game, in the same format.

So how about I skip explaining why you're wrong and just leave it at you're wrong. Oh, and you're wrong.

I would argue that PC has never been superior to consoles and the whole 'PC Master Race' nonsense was just rhetoric.

If by the same, you mean that both have a GPU, CPU, RAM, and semi conductors, then yes. They're the same.

Your definition of a "top PC" must be different than mine because a 1,000 dollar custom built computer will destroy a PS4.

On a computer I can:
Change resolution
Upgrade hardware
Change graphic settings
fix corrupted files without uninstalling everything
Load custom HDR and Bloom resolutions
Look at, and change (if I wanted to) .dat files and/or parsers
Change CPU/GPU allocation that the game uses
Be able to make any modification to anything I want (open file paths)
Have full visibility of network paths and command line granular data of the games processes

The PS4 can do:
None of the above

So tell me, besides the price "point" (I can find PC's that are on par, if not better hardware wise), in what way, shape, or form is the PS4 better than a computer again?

I play on PS3 and do better in the EX fights than most people running on solid computers. Maybe people with PS3 issues are using old PS3s? Have really bad internet? Don't have their PS3 hardwired in?

I intend on getting the PS4 to play FF14 on it, but the idea of dropping service for the PS3 is ludicrous at this point. I mean, they would lose... SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH MONEY.

You are basically saying "If you want to continue paying 14.99 a month for this game you must first spend an additional 450.00 on new hardware" in which most people would say "NNNNOPE, not worth it" cause 450.00 is a lot of money.

People will play on what they want to play on. Why does it affect anyone if someone wants to play on a PS3, PS4, or PC?
