Thread: Levi ex on ps3? Doable?

It is possible. But as for most things, perhaps even more so, it requires much more effort from the ps3 player than it would require from a pc player; hence why so few of them will be able to do it.

Ah, the "handicap" myth still going strong I see 9_9.

As I say in all of these topics, there is no content that can't be cleared to the same standard as someone using a PC. Plus Leviathan's hardly a fight fit to judge people as such anyway, countless people mess up the dives when they start out, it's not something that videos help much with - you kind of have to experience it for yourself a few times. I've seen many other PC players "fail, often hard", at Leviathan I guess both formats suck.

The camera zoom level isn't any different, and you're not supposed to be able to see the whole ship anyway (that'd be too easy :P)

PS3 has its flaws, no doubt, but the ability to clear content isn't one of them.

-Things appear later on ps3 than on a serious pc or ps4. You thus get less time to react to things (plumes, landslide, dives, dashes).

-UI is messy and makes it harder to keep track of everything -- elements will overlap with mechanics visual tips.

-Most of the time, they are using a controller (although they could M+KB), which means having controls that are less fines -- ps3 players hit the boundary of TT during dive way more often than others. Not saying you CANT do it, once again, but on average, they just do, because movement is less precise. Also means they can't click targets in the list of ennemies, making it harder to switch between targets. This is a HUGE problem for tanks, and can be for a dps (switching between the two titan adds during bomb is not a realistic option for example).

-Can't have access to a vpn service if the game gets laggy. 80% of the players i play with encounter at the very least minor lags at times without a tunnel service. We all use some at least occasionally. This is not an option for ps3 players; when they get some lag, they have to deal with it, and for some fights that is not an option.


Most of those you can compensate for. But that's the thing. You "compensate" for it, aka you have a disadvantage you have to overcome by being better than others to achieve a similar result.

Edit: i play on PC most of the time, and sometime during week end i am not at my usual place and play on PS3. The difference is night and day. Given, i am bad with a controller anyway -- but all those other things i listed are not just small details, they are meaningful differences you need to compensate for. There is no way i would be able to play as well on ps3 as i do on pc, no matter the time i use to learn.

Edit2: I am well aware you can use a SSD to compensate for 1, put some thought into your UI to compensate for 2, use a M+KB to suppress 3, and then with a good connection be mostly fine regarding 4. But first of all, you may still have occasional lag issue, so be at a disadvantage, second of all, that's a lot of work to, as i said, "compensate", and third, i have yet to find a ps3 players running with a SSD, an optimized UI and a M+KB. The "vanilla" ps3 player is simply at a huge handicap compared to the "vanilla" PC player.

Uhm, our Fc has most of players on ps3 and we are able to farm it...so... uhm ò.ò
Practice?
