imagePath of Exile Launches on PlayStation 4

Launch day has finally arrived for Path of Exile on PlayStation 4. It's been a long time coming, but today's a big day with the launch of Grinding Gear Games' critically acclaimed ARPG. The best part? It's free to download and play and it includes all of the content that has been released, including the Synthesis expansion that launched for PC earlier this month.

    The pvp is instance based arena with 'best-of' rulings

    Is it as confusing and unintuitive as ever or is it better with a controller

    Too bad you can't transfer the (overpriced) mtx you already bought on PC, makes it a hard pass for me. Don't understand why they can't give that service to their fans, even with sony being incredible "strict". DE managed to do it with warframe somehow, guess GGG won't stretch that far for their fans (which I guess was evident by their overpriced cosmetics, and lack of actual unlockable cosmetics through gameplay/progression).

    I play on PC only. I played a bit on xbox once and the game play is feasible on the xbox and plays well and intuitively.

    The problem is that working with your inventory and trading is so goddamn slow (if you've played on PC) that it is beyond frustrating.

    But if you haven't played on PC and you don't know how slow it is, you may get used to it.

    Also, the PvP is non-existent at least in hardcore mode (you can't die in it) but no one really does it as there is no real incentive to doing it. They haven't figured out how to appropriately make the mechanics work in PvE vs PvP. So basically, you will likely die in less than a second or my shitty builds do.

    Trading on the xbox console was just slow and tedious as you have to manually type in what you want with a controller vs just typing it in on a keyboard, so it is slow and you have to move the cursor to look at each item, you can't just scan through it quickly. I'm sure you can get used to it, but as a PC player, it is a no-go.

    You are the first person I have ever heard conplain6a out PoE's MTX. Their system is the paragon of fair microtransactions, and what all games should aspire to.

    Looting is my biggest problem right now, very annoying to do.

    Flask consumption will be a lot less, trading as mentioned is weird.

    Other than that, seems to be running really well, short loading screens.

    You can flick the right stick around to cycle through loot. Also, Console has loot filters, Use the Regular one for leveling.
