    The only "limitation" the PS3 has over the PC is load times, which means the only place people groan when they get a PS3 player (or at least this is the only justifiable place) is for Prae speed runs. You take the speed out of the run when you run with a PS3 player, the only way I could ever remotely justify bringing one in there is if they have a relic+1 and almost full DL, to have their faster DPS make up for the fact that we will have to wait a minute after each video for you (given that there are like 20 videos in that place, this is not an inconsiderable amount of time).

    Anyway, I still stand by, this game is not hard, and practically teaches you how to play as you go through locations (the only exceptions to this might be BCoB, heard some say things are not completely obvious in that place, and I haven't done it yet). Even Titan as a DD is painfully obvious what you should do, and if you miss something the first time you see it, it will not kill you.

    Landslide? phase 1 will not kill you.
    Plumes? phase 2 will not kill you (unless you have such a low amount a health that you prob shouldn't be in there in the first place)
    Bombs? also, one bomb does not kill at this point, you get two solid rounds of this at least to learn how they work
    So by the time you hit P5 you have seen EVERYTHING there is to see, and they just throw it all at you really fast, back to back.

    If you die in Titan, it is totally your fault for being bad, now strategy wise for handling some of the finer points there is valid reason to as a group decide how you want to handle things (because this makes the fight easier), but the actual mechanics of the fight boil down to stand in red and you are dead. I don't need a video to tell me not to stand in the fire.

    I actually find myself messing up mechanics on subsequent attempts more than the first go around. Chalk that up to getting tired and complacent I suppose.

    This kind of player is why I'm lv50 from 2-3 weeks ago and I still have only 2 DL pieces and 4 AK just because I'm on PS3.
    Gimme a break, PS3 player doesn't mean no speedrun. I'm on PS3 and I easily do speedrun Prae with PS3 tank and/or dps within 23-24 minutes.
    You lose the speedrun if you don't wait the PS3 players to skip cutscenes, because you'll fight bosses without someone and deal a lot less damage, ending on the 30-35 minutes, while if you wait you'll lose 3-4 seconds per cutscene, which means less than half a minute on the whole timer.
    But "hey, I'm a PC player and I'm fast, get lost, you cursed PS3 player, I want only PC!"
    This really sucks, I see people getting to lv50 and then getting full DL + relic+1, all while I'm standing still in Mor Dhona, with the "LFG/LFM" always in the chat.
