Just on Destiny on PS4 I have been repatedly subjected to lag switching, Invulnerability mode, infinite super spam and all sorts of things enabled by people utilizing custom firmware rigged to bypass Sony and game company anti-cheating measures, especially during competitive events like Trials of Osiris and Iron Banner.
Complaining about one platform having cheating f**ks, and not acknowledging them on the other is, in my opinion, disingenuous. Every time we bring up the possibility of people cheating on dust, its always "OPE NOPE, YOU CANT CHEAT ON DUST!" But when you are winning, then lag starts, and all of a sudden you are five capped...
This/\
And obviously people have figured out how to cheat on Dust. Just about a month ago when I was killed by a red, instead of showing me what his stats were, with suit and equipment, it was completely devoid of text, and the icon that normally shows a dropsuit had a rainbow graphic that had the letters .jpg across it.
I've also encountered players who seem acutely aware that they are invincible, as they just calmly sit there as you unload on them, doing no damage.
And about console vs. pc, I will say this:
I have heard the devs speaking in game while playing, and I'm aware that they only seem to play on pc using a mouse.
Perhaps this is exactly why there are so many bugs on the PS3.
Either they are not aware of all the various bugs because they neglect the console, or they simply don't care because it's future only lies on pc. If it has a future.
Who's the meanest, who's the prettiest, who's the baddest mofo low down around this town?

PCs can run as high as 240 frames per second on high end rigs. This is only limited by screens which keep getting a higher and higher refresh rate. The PS4 is not even able to run 1080p @ 60hz meaning a PC player has roughly double the tracking ability just from a hardware stand point. The human eye is the only thing not making it 4x better and growing.
Mouse and keyboard has precision that absolutely DUMPS on even the DS4. Controllers are simply not made for precicion that is why console shooters have to have aim assist to fill in the finer points. They could not even balance m/kb with controller on the same system.
The team would be split. A PC version would be held back by PS4 limitations and then there would have to be a whole other team that is in place just to optimize code across thousands of possible hardware configurations for PC. The sheer time between updates this would cause is just plain ridiculous. Instead we could have a team twice the size pumping out updates at a much higher rate for one platform.
Ultimately one side is going to end up with a huge advantage and the losing side is going to migrate to the winning side leading to a total waste of resources and ultimately a loss of money that is totally not necessary.
Why do the graphics need to look equally pretty across all systems? The do not!
Just because you cross port it doesn't mean all systems need to display the same resolutions. -So that is a mute point. I intentionally lower my resolution just to avoid lag and get better performance. I don't need to hear my character breathing or see the glowing embers in the air to enjoy the game.
As far as the mouse/controller thing, again- as a hobby programmer myself, you're wrong.
The issue isn't about mouse/controller superiority, it's about lazy programing. I can tell by the way the glitches happen that they haven't written a separate but dedicated code to read controller inputs- what they've done is map the controller to the mouse buttons, essentially emulating it.
That is why it's so glitchy. It's simply lazy programming.

Just make Dust stand alone. It's a stupid gimmick to tie it into Eve anyway. No one really cares.
Or, one solution also- just sync weekly, instead of in real time. That way it gives devs/admins some time to review hacker complaints, review battles, and help to reduce hacking by invalidating stats that they've deemed to be shady.
Is that all you brought? How disappointing. I was hoping for a challenge.

I wouldn't consider that acceptable either. Part of what brought people to the game in the first place was having an influence in New Eden. You may be content with Public Contracts, but removing the EVE link or giving it a weekly update frequency would have a major negative impact on the game for those of us that enjoy Faction Warfare, just as one example. The game should develop more of a connection to EVE after migrating to a new platform, not have the connection removed before we can even see where it might go.
It's 5+ years later, and you're still waiting to see where it might go??
It's there buddy.. It's there. The connection is holding it back.
