Gladd’s new satirical video about PC advantages over Console is frustrating because it feels like it pretends problems don’t exist.
Gladd’s response here.
I would also like to highlight u/QuotidianQuell and u/JobiewithAJ’s comments, because they reflect some of my opinions, how I feel, and how the misunderstanding arose. They really do a good job of providing a well written opinion and reaction to the video.
( Comment 1 ) and ( Comment 2 )
Gladd’s new video discusses the advantages PC has over Console in Destiny 2. However, very quickly, the video reveals itself to be a joke, and the seriousness of the discussion of load times in the video (before it becomes obvious satire) is up in the air. The problem with this is it ignores the fact that there are many issues with Destiny 2 on console:
-
Like mentioned, load times (inventory, pursuits, character screen, and location)
-
Recoil and weapon control
-
Weapon bloom (HCs)
-
Skating with certain classes (pre-nerf Titan skating)
-
Warlock and Worldline Zero skating in particular is tied to framerate, meaning consoles will go slower, as u/Ynybody1 pointed out
-
Quick turning (traction bring basically required on console)
Despite the apparent lack of seriousness in Gladd’s video, there are problems with D2 on console this video seems to gloss over. Sure, load times are mentioned, but that’s all. Things like controlling recoil are ignored, despite the fact that MnK makes it much easier to control things like Recluse. It’s much harder to cross-map Ghalran’s hands with Recluse on console than it is on PC, for example. This lack of control ability at long range keeps Recluse somewhat more in check on console, but allowing it to act like an auto rifle on PC.
Or, for example, on PC you could drop a well with Lunas and immediately switch to Phoenix Protocol, getting the effects of both. If you tried to do that on console, you would burn upwards of 7 seconds of that well just trying to switch exotics.
As for the part that satirically states that worlds first races aren’t based on team coordination and skill, I’m not saying the world’s first raid races aren’t based on skill, and it is likely that many people shooting for world’s first have moved over to PC, but it still demonstrates a problem when only one console team even finishes the new raid in 24hrs.
It’s just disappointing to see an actual problem with the current state of the game on certain platforms be ignored for the sake of a joke video.
Edit: I’m sure part of Gladd’s video is fueled by people saying PC is what makes him good, not all the time he’s put into D2 and skill that he has. I’m just saying things are easier on D2 PC.
Edit 2: For all the people telling me that performance isn’t going to be the same, I understand that PC is going to load faster than console. I’m not expecting console to load as fast as PC, that’s just an unfortunate result of consoles being cheaper. However, guns on PC are much easier to control, a fact unrelated to specs and performance.
Edit 3: For all the people saying “JuSt BuY a Pc LoL” not everyone has disposable income sitting around that they can just drop on a hobby such as gaming. Many people don’t have $500+ available to spend on a whim. It’s like telling someone to just buy a better car if theirs is old or gets bad mileage or something; it’s not everyone has the money or ability to. Also, consoles can be purchased for much less than $500.
One last thing: Let’s keep it civil, and try to avoid name-calling. It doesn’t do anyone any good. Whatever your feelings about the issue may be, there’s a person on the other end that you’re addressing. This thread was created to address what I felt was a bad message from the video, not to bash Gladd as a streamer, player, or person.
