For those that keep asking "Why the **** do you play on PS3!?!?"

So looks is what you're into?

Lets take Diablo 2 and 3 as examples for a moment...remember Diablo 2? One of the greatest games made? I had the most horrible computer back in the day and Diablo 2 ran fine on it..LOOKS were not the focus but instead it was gameplay. Look at Diablo 3...people literally bought the game and had to go out and purchase a new computer just to play it...I know because I'm one of the people who did it and did so only to find out that Diablo 3 is a horrible game compared to Diablo 2.

True gamers aren't into games for their looks but instead because of gameplay. I'll hop on FF7 today and play it with a smile on my face because the gameplay was top notch and still puts games to shame today. Enjoy spending $1000+ though so you can stare at real-life looking water in a game when you could have just took a quick trip out of your home to see water for the cost of the gas to get there.

Its not all about graphics, it never has been.I totally agree, gameplay trumps all.
D2 is awesome, d3 is the biggest letdown of the year ( heck last 5 years ). Thats not nostalgia, i was 24 when d2 came out, i remember it well. Poe > d3.
My recent games i have replayed are fallout 2, planescape torment, systemshock 2, dungeon siege 2 and wizardry 7. I couldnt care less about the graphics.

Now, with that being said, since i play alot of games for many hours, why wouldnt i want the best computer money can buy ( so to speak )?
Would you rather play skyrim on a toaster with everything turned down, running like crap, all choppy and laggy or would you rather play it on ultra where the game runs like a dream and it it nice to look at to boot??

I don't need to justify why I play on PS3 to some insecure PC "gamers", however I will say - blacklist me. I do not want to associate myself with the likes of you if you are so closed-minded and cannot accept anyone for being different.

Dont hate mate...
I actually own a ps3, xbox, Wii and a n64.
Now, IMHO, Mmo's SHOULD NOT be played on a console, ever.....

Actually a lot of cpu users use xbox controller on mmo's now days with the wireless KB on the side and mouse and wireless mic with it hook on there TV. Mouse, KB is best but with right custom UI not much of a different. Just the PC got faster game play since it been almost 10 years since there been a console that can run the the newer mmos.

Cool story inc...

ADS boss in coil turn 2 @ 5% with only a bard (aka Dan) alive.

Ventrilo Convo (word for word):

Me: "Dan! Limit break!"
Dan: "I don- I don't have limit break on my PS3 controller" (dies)
<Everyone on vent were shocked then started laughing and facepalming>
Dan: "I don't ever have to use it guys. I'm a bard. (Brief pause) Hold on. Let me put it on the bar real quick."

TL;DR - Unless you're on dat dere poverty time, then there's no reason to not play on a PC.

Sorry, but...what's the point of your story ? PS3 players are bad because they don't set Limit Break shortcut on their controller ?

In our house, I play on the PS3 and my husband on the PC (he is a more serious gamer than me). I am the FF fan, he is the MMO fan. This game, and it's cross-platform ability, is a dream come true for us; we get to play together (when normally we are in different rooms, not seeing each other for hours on end)
However, that said...his gameplay is soooo much smoother than mine. But, conversly, my load times are quicker. Weird, eh?
I agree PC is better, but we can't afford another game-spec PC, and besides I love my PS. But giving us PS3ers a rough time...not cool. And I have had comments from PC gamers in some critical momments in primal battles...I now play such battles with friends (who know I am PS3) and an expectation is set.....they don't tell me to jog on.....

That's a relief your humble opinion isn't the one that matters, then

I didn't realize until now how arrogant gamers are, especially on PC..."You should not play like this", "You should not play on this system", "This game shouldn't be a numbered one"...

OT : thanks for funny thread.. *thumbs up* just one thing is missing lack of xbox/360/one version of this game

on the theme : its just matter of preference . I tried play FF with gamepad and i was TERRIBLE and i mean really terrible !!!!! So i will stuck with mouse and keyboard as long as possible. Someone else said it clearly only one thing what PS3 users lack is "comfortable" voice chat nothing else nothing more. All other aspects are matter of skill

[LadyZola]

Same here, agree with you OP!

I noticed a lot of posts in this thread were deleted. None of them were offensive. Awkward.

This seems like a good thread to ask the following question. Can you mark targets using a PS3?
