When did calling PS4 players “console peasants” become acceptable?

Forums are truly a place where the definitions of fact and opinion are warped beyond comprehension. Oh well. I'm bowing out of this thread. Here's to the inevitable PS5 release of FFXIV! We'll always be around Back to the game!

"Better gaming experience" is subjective.

Having to play games with people who look down on others for platform choice would not be a better gaming experience for me at all. I'd much rather play with fellow console gamers any day of the week.

So, yeah. Subjective. Enduring the mentality many PC gamers exhibit would almost certainly turn me away from gaming. Also, no chest pounding here. Just stating that I'm a good player and that good players exist on every platform

As someone who don't give a crap on what you play on, if you can afford a beast PC - I think it qualifies as the better experience.
The sad truth is that tech is changing at a rapid rate, and it takes something like 3-6 months for something to be considered old.

It's pretty easy (if you have the money) to beat the PS4/PS4 Pro's specs.

I say we just ignore the dude. Folks should consider an optometrist if their eyes are straining. As for proof, it's not like I have to prove anything to anyone in this thread. I can see who's on PC and PS4, and I always check when I do a farm party/raid. I watch myself outperform them because I'm good at the game, and occasionally, PC players and other PS4 folks will outperform me. It'll never be based on hardware. Ever.

Like, I'm sorry his PS4 Pro wasn't hitting 60fps (most folks who crap on consoles have never actually tried one). I'm sorry he thinks that somehow, he has better response times based on hardware (lol). It's just hilarious, when you think about it.

So yeah, I'm with you HWalsh. They literally can't handle the fact that we can be good at the game too just because we're on PS4.

Oh come on show everyone your superior skills.

All you have to do is stream a single EX where you outperform the PC players in the raid.
Shouldn't be hard at all for someone who's better than 99% of PC players.
I mean even if by some chance you get a raid full of those chosen few who are better than you, you'll not gonna become the laughing stock of the forums since you'll not get carried or even worse fail miserably right?

Someone who's as good at the game as you claim to be would have no problem at all proving it.

And you aren't really using any facts to support what you're trying to prove on said forums.

I play on pc and console but here is a fact. Every part of your computer or console was outdated the moment it left the factory floor.

This is very true. Companies are always coming up with something better.

Maybe it was said. Maybe it wasn't. But I hate to be the guy that says:

You are getting offended over a joke, and even if it wasn't, you made it into a pointless thread in the search of validation or an obvious answer. Maybe you haven't heard it before, I don't know. But you could've just googled it.

Anyways, calling Ps4 users, and any user that doesn't use a PC, Console peasants has always been acceptable, even I do it. And I have a wooden pc! I can barely run this game now that shadowbringers is out.

But like... it's a joke. It's funny. It has a semblance of truth, but it's all down to preferences and budget regardless. Not to say its beyond criticism, in agreement with that other guy whose name I already forgot, but theres really no reason for this to have 16 damn pages.

I personally do it because it's funny, and that's that. Not sure of an alternative to call pc players anything but "god emperors", because they run everything at glorious fps /s

Oh come on, get over yourself.

The guy's clearing content right? That's all that matters.

Except the claim by that poster (and you) was that you are performing better than PC players. How do you know without a parser? You don’t, and consoles don’t have one. So you can only guess.

It was nothing about the superiority of the rig reflecting superiority of the player behind it. I know PS4 players that have cleared the Ultimates (which is the content made explicitly for the 1% of hardcore players). I know PS4 players that have really good numbers because friends upload the proof for them. One of them has been a friend of mine for three years; almost since I started this game. I also know PC players that barely how to string a rotation together.

I used to play on PS4 (and PS3 back in the day) myself before I switched to PC, and I like to think I’m at least above average and competent when it comes to my skill level. So before you go assuming I’m talking about PS4 players being inferior, I’m not. However, if you have no proof to back up your “I outperform PC players all the time” claims, those words are just empty.

Just stating that I, as a PS4 player, outperform most folks I run into on Party Finder.

And they’re asking how do you know because PS4 players cannot use parsers to know for certain. That’s not a dig at you; that’s not them implying you’re actually inferior. That’s them asking how do you know you’re so good (even though, claiming you’re better than 99% of players is a bit hyperbolic unless you are a world-first speedkiller—very few players in this game can actually call themselves the best and claim that they’re better than the other 99%).

Do you have a friend on PC that parses you and uploads for you? That’s fine—I know a lot of console users that have friends do that for them. But, without proof, you cannot say this with absolute certainty. That’s just a fact.

Oh man, people choose such petty things to be to be victimized by.

[RareItems]

PC players will always going to be better than PS4 Players mainly because of 3rd Party Apps. And I'm not just talking about parser apps lol xD.
