The end of Playstation 3 support.

[Kosmos992k]

I've given blood sweat and tears for my country to have it as 'easy' as it does. Some in my battalion didn't even make it to a deployment because some crazy 'major' decided to shoot up the SRP center at Ft Hood. So don't lecture me on how I have it 'easy'. I've not suggested anything I haven't done myself. Such as spending hundreds to keep my PC's upgraded just to keep playing the games I've purchased. Or voting every year to make sure nothing stupid creeps in to make things too expensive.

No offense, but you might want to try to separate the stress and RL issues that you face from the discussion you're having here. It sounds like you've had to deal with some extremely serious stuff, but your anger is misplaced in this topic. I believe that the poster was comparing the relative ease of life in a developed nation such as the US vs the life in a developing nation with a shaky economy. I don't think they were saying anything that would diminish or demean your service, nor the difficulties that you face as a result of serving as you do.

I can't pretend to know what you've faced, only you can know that. However, I do wish you well.

I was mainly pointing out how its harder to stay up-to-date with gaming hardware in South America because of various issues with the postal system there inflating the costs a lot.

I'd never look down on how hard other people work to maintain their own gaming rigs. I'm disabled and I haven't been able to work for over 3 years and I absolutely would not be able to afford to build a PC on my own. I only have a good gaming PC right now because my older brother gives me his old parts when he upgrades. So I'm largely only still playing this game because I'm lucky enough to have a bro that will help me out. Most people aren't that lucky though and I respect that.

As I stated earlier in the thread the min on the graphics part is being pushed up to a min of a GTX 750. Before I upgraded to a GTX 970 I was running a GTX 680, which within reason could handle the game and far better than a PS3 could. That said it still is no longer a viable card with the new min specs, though that card is still good on other games like Overwatch. It is just simply a difference in graphics ideal.

The question is if the graphics will actually require them, as the reason given for the increase was that the parts in the old system requirements are now out of production.

I know that feel. Customs makes everything bad here, but it's still a huge country so we can get good sales and promotions. I can't imagine how much harder it is for people living in smaller countries.

This is why the "anti PS3" sentiment kind of upsets me, it's like they forgot what makes MMORPGs a success or a failure.

The whole PC Master Race rhetoric is a hell of a drug unfortunately, you'll never sway their opinions from that stance :/

I mean adore PC gaming, but I adore console gaming to.

Though I understand why the PS3 support ultimately came to an end, and who knows same could end up being said for 32-bit PC's as well, especially with the minimum requirements rising.
