Going to see if it is any better than the first version from a few years ago. Cuspar and Marrkin, it is free for anyone with a PS4 from 2-22 to March 1.

Pretty amazing so far. The music is great, has world event monsters all over for huge battles, and looks great. One problem playing on a console is that the text is very small, which leads to another problem, that not every NPC is voiced like SWTOR, so it is very old school and you have a lot of reading to do. Had to move my recliner closer to the TV, but you can use a mouse and keyboard on the PS4, and the touchpad on the PS4 controller works like a mouse pad on a laptop.

Seems to have a ton of quests, and lots to do, and it beats ESO at every turn. They really did a great job changing this from the first horrible version.

Edit: As usual with the share feature, I spammed the hell out of my facebook page last night with pics and video of the opening movie, going to upload some more today.

Been playing the pc version with my sister and her fiancée on Exodus. I had pre-ordered the original but cancelled shortly after based on the pre-order reviews so can't compare to the original but liking it so far.

The PS4 version will be like the PS3, and be able to play with people with the PC version. PS3 owners can move over to PS4 for free. I will say that "getting out of the bad" is much easier with a controller.
