Plays great on the PS4. The relatively slow introduction to skills at the beginning of the game really allows you to get a grasp on the controller layout. It never feels overwhelming and they revamped the UI to be extremely user friendly with the controller. I basically played the base game and expansion all the way through with a Crusader and have zero regrets. It just feels so nice to play it on a TV from your couch. I didn't play much more after the campaign online or anything, but it was a great single player play through. Game feels a bit overwhelming to revisit after you havn't played for a while, but I think that element lies in the game itself and not the port. It's a must play for the console in my opinion, especially if you havn't played either game yet.
Also, being able to use the right thumb stick to roll/dodge is awesome and was non existent on the PC version.

The online servers don't support cross platforms between PC and PS4. I'm not sure if all the console versions share servers, though. I definitely played the PS4 version as a single player game and really enjoyed it. If you're looking for a good single player RPG that offers local and online co op, I think it's just as good, if not better in some regards. but if you're interested in a long term investment (post level cap) with Diablo 3, the PC version is the definitely way to go.
Oh I already have the PC version. Walmart has this insane deal last year for the holidays where it and the addon boxes were just $15 so I grabbed both. I finished both so far with a wizard build, and I'm partly through with a rogue/hunter whatever that one is but it's kind of annoying how thin the armor is on that versus attack power.

Almost done The Order and hope to finish it tonight. The reviewers are crazy, this game is an 8-9 out of 10, easily.
Almost all complaints I've heard have fallen into one of two categories: 1, it's just an interactive movie, or 2, it's short. Neither of those ruin a game IMO.

I just finished it and really hope they make another. The story has a satisfying enough ending, but there's a really cool world they've built here with compelling characters. A great game for a rainy weekend.
Gamespot gave it a 5, that game was supposed to be like the system seller in a way. It was emphasised a lot. I like how Gamespot gives what they really think of the game without considerationfor fanboys or courtesy to publishers/developers.
If you do this in the dwindling advertisement industry, you earn my respect.
People had a big sook about Knack as it had a big push from Sony and I loved that game, so as always I don't hold "scores" to mean much, even less so from places like IGN or Gamespot, etc

It depends how you look it at it, some people could view it your way or others could see it as them jumping on the bandwagon.
Oh wow I just woke up haha, I pulled an all nighter last night leveling my Wizard with Toktugul up from 1 to 70 in one sitting haha. Seriously Diablo 3 is the best game I have played in a looong time.
