Is there a PS3 Vs. PC feud?Follow

Later on, especially in CM speedruns and what not, the cutscenes take longer to load on the ps3. So you get left behind and people complain you aren't keeping up with the pace. There are others who are obsessed with teamspeak and such and they can't comprehend that you probably have a pc capable of running such a program right near the ps3. Those are the major sticking points for most people that feel they are part of the pc master race.

As for the controller, short of healer, I actually prefer it over the keyboard. Once you get used to it, you can hammer out skills from hotbar to hotbar in no time.

Long story short, no, you're fine playing on whatever thing you want to play on.

But on anything significant that requires you to be either a tank or a healer, playing on the PC is a LOT smoother, easier, quicker and well... flatout better for the group.

Targeting people and monsters with the mouse is simply quicker than trying to toggle between them on your controller. There's more options for communication as well unless you wanna set a laptop next to you for Teamspeak or so. Quicker loading times for cutscenes, better graphics, less stuttering when a lot of people are on the screen and surprisingly easier to move around with a keyboard with a mouse too. And a far far far bigger Hotbar for abilities.

I'm not telling you not to play on the PS3, and i dont feel anyone rightly should, but there's a valid reason for people to prefer PC players for endgame dungeons and fights over PS3 players.

You could always just take up a DD job, then none of all that matters.

Thanks. I played 1.0 so I have the PC and like it. I actually was going to make a decision what things needed to be on the PC and what I could pull off on the PS3. So far, the PS3 does great all but large scale FATES. However, I have not do the high level stuff yet even though I have a BRD level 50 and DRG level 40.

I have a laptop that I use for Mumble in the FC, if I feel like talking or am in a group event. So that's not an issue. Its not like Ill be invited to team speak in a DF group, will I?

I was planning on getting a PS4 for FFXIV, FFXV, and KH3. So that's all good. I just don't think it should matter but, whatever. I was a PS2 FFXI user forever and a damn good WHM too. No one ever said a thing about it. Lets hope I can do that in FFXIV too.

Anyway, so it doesn't sound like a real issue anyway. My FC is cool with it and Ill be doing endgame with them anyway, they don't seem the type to kick me because I wasted a few seconds loading a CS...

PS3 users do have the option of greatly decreasing load times by putting in an SSD. It'll also improve overall performance. I strongly recommend it for PC players, too.

I agree with this. It's mostly people who are grumpy from running CM too many times. These people are usually jerks to everyone though, not just PS3 users. Speedrunning is it's own problem though.

To the OP, I wouldn't get too upset about it. The controller does take some getting used to. And even if the targeting on PS3 is a little bit slower in general, most fights don't require super fast twitch target switching anyway. After doing a dungeon once or twice, you'll know what you need to target and when you need to target it. That knowledge can really slow down a fight for you. Just keep your XHotbar clean and organized and you should be fine!

I play on both but I will say generally speaking a lotta the time when groups aren't going so well and the person in question that's holding us up never types I assume more than not it's a PS3 player too lazy to plug in a keyboard to communicate. >.>

Even as a PC player, communicating in combat via keyboard means I have to stop doing what I'm doing. For the several seconds I'm typing, I'm not moving out of things and not healing/doing my rotation/whatever.

I will generally choose to just not bother unless it's something that absolutely has to be said and can't wait... usually it's "get this thing off me" though I'm generally not so nice about it in combat

There will always be people who say method A is better than method B. I do play on PC, but I use a 360 controller (Whm/Pld), and while there are a few more handy tricks and shortcuts for using a keyboard (Like the mouseover healing macros, etc)... it is easily attainable to be good at your class regardless of how you play.

There are plenty of filter options for the controller, that once understood, help immensly in being able to seperately target mobs, vs players. The only issue that I've run into was trying to cycle through multiple mobs, and this is actually an issue with both KB as well as Controller (if you are using the Tab targetting on a KB, if you use Mouse to target I'm sure there is no issue). From what I've noticed though its barely a difference in time, unless you get the wrong target quite often. (I generally have enough time to get my next target picked out, for a heal or aero, before th GCD is even ready).

As for the responding, I rarely see any groups that are pugged, who communicate. Every so often you get a few people who say hello at the start of a dungeon, then its quiet the remainder of the time up to the final boss fight...which is then just a simple "Anyone not know this fight"... but I've even seen that not said, and a tank or dps just rush in to start a fight.

I like the idea of adding a 'speed run' check box, so I never have to click it.

Fine... fine...

Nature of the beast I suppose.

That is.

The big fat circle thingy in the middle is a dead giveaway that it's a platter, not a solid state drive.

SSD drives are essentially giant SDHC cards with a SATA III port on the end. They use Flash memory instead of spinning platters to store the data. They're down to under a dollar a gigabyte, which is the value point for rewriteable storage. (Gosh, I remember ten years ago when platters went down to under a dollar a gig... it was wonderful.)

You can get a 1 TB SSD for $600 now. That's.... really tempting.

Considering they have no way of finding out if you use PS3 or not, I say go join FCs even if they forbid Ps3 players.
