Console desperately needs QOL features
Aside performance which is inexcusably bad, playing with a controller is not a 1:1 experience as playing with KBM so we need certain features to accommodate that.
1. Sort function. This is necessary and it should be there when 1.0 comes out. a) A separate mini-inventory space for materials only. Constantly having to move around mats while playing is a slow grind to patience. It accumulates. The small inventory the Titan ascendancy has is perfect for this purpose. Make it for mats-only and make it standard for console. 2. Being able to remap L3/R3 or LS/RS. I never use the default mappings so I automatically lose 2 quick access buttons. Why? a) The trackpad on PS5 has the functionality to be more than 1 button. Why is it just 1 huge button in this game? For example, it could be left-side for inventory, right-side for the passive tree or character stats. We don't have the luxury of PC shortcuts on console and these little things make a difference. 3. Minimap overhaul. I'm honestly not sure what's going on there. It's obviously designed for PC since players stand much closer to the screen but that means on console it's completely illegible. From the microscopic player dot, to the laughably tiny icons and labels, the minimap is one of the toughest enemies in PoE2. It looks and feels like it belongs in the 80's. It's jank. a) An option in the menus to replace the overlay map with the checkpoints map would be a godsend since that's the map that's the most legible. 4. The ability to choose a live/current quest. This is another must-have feature since clogging the screen with quests is confusing, it looks bad, and it's completely unintuitive. There's a reason games allow you to choose which quest you want to follow. The option in the menus that hides all quests made me chuckle btw. Kind of a rant, but I feel if GGG wants to make the console experience a bit more welcoming, people wouldn't be constantly asking for KBM support as much. Some of these things like the minimap and inventory management require some effort to be solved but I genuinely think it's worth it.
