PS3 Players are Handicapped

[OrganizationXIll]

Titan Super Extreme Do you need it? PC/PS4 only....

I'm curious as to how soon that will appear in the PF. :/ I might start it in a couple of weeks. lmao xD

Well SE is giving free upgrades from PS3 to PS4 but they are not forcing the upgrade yet. After 3.0 is released they will probably be pushing the issue that PS3 players need to upgrade if they wish to play at so and so date.

As for not being able to clear content on PS3, I will agree that you are just bad. After a few trys with failures you should get the hang of the mechanics to succeed or someone experience enough would've sat down explaining everything to the new players to said content

I never said I couldn't clear content you morons. Where did you read that? I have cleared it. Its just a struggle.

Keep in mind dropping support doesn't mean cutting off PS3ers it just means PS3 wouldn't get all of the new shinies each patch. They would never basically tell paying customers they can no longer play and press a magic button to lock out PS3ers. They'd simply be urged to switch as more and more content and QoL items are added that they can't experience.

Yes. I hope others read this. I want more Titan-like fights, but we wont get them because PS3 users can't honestly compete unless they know the fight well enough to ignore what their screen says and move prior to seeing attacks. I'm not saying drop them entirely. Just let them reach the end of current content and then they will have to upgrade. Do it now and get it free. :/

You play on PS3 up until now, get on fine, play the PS4 version and suddenly it should be dropped?

There are people out there who don't want to buy a PS4 yet, can't afford it, or whatever else. Why not just enjoy the fact you get to play a nicer looking version of the game and let everyone else be?

"Getting on fine" and "Struggling to dodge plumes with any reliability" are two different things. Also, it's not just a "nicer looking version of the game." It doesn't lag on movement intensive fights. I never got 90K'd on PS4 past 3 days with a daily 90K on PS3. I can actually see NPC's without having to wait 3-5 seconds when I reach the spot. I didn't run into the infinite loading screen bug that PS3 has. (Doesn't mean it doesn't happen I guess.) etc.

They should just drop PS4 players now and give them a 50% coupon off a high-end gaming PC, or something. PS4 players are handicapped!

I load faster than everyone else I played with over the weekend. :P

In your original post you said you didn't see a problem with the game on PS3 at the time, which means those who have only played the PS3 version still don't see a problem with it. They are enjoying it, just like you were, so what exactly is the problem?

A) Sympathy. They don't know it, but their system requires combat with the system itself to do well.
B) Playing with them dying while screaming: "I was totally out of that!!!"

Similar to pulling a cart with square blocks before the circular wheel was invented. Yes, it's possible to do everything on PS3, but once you experience better, you want everyone who's been in your same situation to do so as well.

Also, dropping PS3 frees up development by not having to plan for 3 separate platforms (though PS4 and PC have the same architecture iirc so it's really two platforms). Creating content that is, in essence, limited by technology is not ideal for any company. They're going to support PS3 until the expansion and, I'd guess, 6 months or so after that. Then they'll probably stop catering to the limitations of that system and, like another poster said, stop patching the system. However, the PS4 is not selling well in Japan so this might also delay them from suspending PS3 support if that doesn't change.

Why buy a PS4 when for not much more you can buy a PC and not have your system you just bought dropped by Sony in 6-7 years?

Most people upgrade PC parts for $2-$400 in a 6 year period so...I don't understand this point.

"free" plus the cost of a PS4. I don't have $400 laying around. I don't even have an extra $100 for a SSD for my PS3. But you know what? I do just fine. Sure, load times are a bit slow. But I also have 4 Atmas and my static raid group was farming T4 last night for gear. I only had lag issues once, and I'm guessing that's because of my internet connection, not my PS3 (because of how my apartment is set up, I have to use a wireless connection for my PS3). Don't ruin the game for the rest of us because you're better off than we are.

I'm not better off. I just prepared for my PS4 and started saving. Christmas was semi fruitful. $230 then I saved for 2 months and bought my PS4 end of February. You can continue to do fine too. I'm just saying come 2015 they should say no more patches for PS3.

Wow, I've never seen someone who thought his opinion mattered so much. Just because you think they should stop support doesn't mean every single other player who plays on PS3 does too.

To say "oh, I saved x amount of money over 2 months and bought a ps4" doesn't mean everyone else can or even wants to. If they're fine with playing how they are, who are you to say that they need to upgrade?

Not every PS3 player agrees, but a lot of us that played PS4 do I think.

Also, You have 8 months to save if they cut new content for PS3 in 2015. If you can't save enough to get it $400 spare in 8 months, you might want to reevaluate paying to play this game.

But why should they have to buy a 400.00 device to play a single game? What if this is the only game they really play? To say they're forced to buy a 400.00 device in a year if they want to continue playing it is absurd. No game is worth that. This is coming from a high end pc user, too. I bought my computer for other reasons; the fact that it can run FF flawlessly is just a bonus. But I certainly wouldn't buy a 'better' PC just to play this game if my current ran it at PS3 speeds. The fact that you're insinuating they should buy a brand new system just for one game (despite it running smoother) is absurd.

You really need, and I mean REALLY need to get to grips with the fact that there are other people other than yourself that are happy on PS3 and don't want or need to switch. Not everyone who plays this game does end game content or extreme primals. Even if they do, maybe they don't mind a bit of lag here and there.

This all boils down to you having bought a PS4, and somehow think it should be law that everyone else do the same. PS3 players pay their monthly fee just like you do and I do not see why their right to play the game should be taken away. Just enjoy your game and let others enjoy theirs for crying out loud.
