    I don't understand how it's so much harder on PS3/4 ?? I just made the switch from PC to PS4 - admittedly I'm using Keyboard and Mouse - but ran a couple of things using the controller. . . . it's a damn site easier to move with a controller :P

    The PS4 is absolutely fine. It's also got nothing to do with the question of controller efficiency vs keyboard efficiency, for once.

    The chief complaints about PS3 has to do with its processing power being limited and a weaker networking card. Players have often noted that AoEs are more unforgiving on PS3 compared to PS4/PC, but you also get things like mobs that appear mid-battle taking a couple seconds between spawning and rendering (and before they're rendered, they're untargetable).

    The differences do exist - but people often overexaggerate exactly how insurmountable these hurdles are. It's a handicap, but I don't think anything in the game is so incredibly strict as to be impossible with the handicap applied.

    Indeed. I was on ps3 and had to dodge things b4 they appeared, meaning i had to know the fight in and out and there was no room for error(example- moved b4 wotl appears in titan ex or else i die). On ps4 i have no problems with that. I can actually wait until things appear b4 i move, and still have more than enough time to dodge. Of course, I did beat all the extremes and t5 on ps3 b4 2.2, but it is soooo much easier on ps4. Levi Ex is easier on ps4 as well. The new ps4 controller makes accessing my skills in a split second much mor comfortable.

    Yea what Garlyle said, the PS3 is really slow, and to put it into perspective when it comes to AoEs, imagine still having the 0.3 delay we used to have before 2.1, it persist in the PS3 not because of the game, but because of the system itself.

    I can remember the number of times I got hit by divebombs in T5 despite getting out of it, it got to the point that I didn't bother dodging and healed myself through it. I since then moved to PC to makes things easier, but I definitely know anything in this game is doable in the PS3.

    With that, congrats OP.

    The PS4 is a far superior machine than the janky PS3.

    I was blown away at how much better the game looked/felt after upgrading from PS3 to PS4.
