Console Gameplay Discussion - XBOX vs PS4 HEIST comparison - Forum

" PlainMonster190 wrote: Xbox oneS, external seagate made for xbox, solid internet connection. Play about 12urs a day, reset xbox regularly throughout day. Crash at about once an hour during heist or temple/meta/breach/boss/synd or any other events on map especially including delirium orb or mirror maps with a single layer. Good portion of the day is a slide show powerpoint experience because the game can't handle it's own content. Which is why I won't play HC on a console. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be free of these issue regardless of your platform. This is my second league and I'll give them one more league to see if they can provide a game with fewer crashes wasting my time. That said, when Heist came out I played until the first patch with maybe only a single glitch and drop outside of heist. I remember commenting to a friend because I thought they had it figured and was stoked. Then the first patch showed up and ever since it's a crash an hour with regular powerpoint experience it seems. Super lame. Seems like ps4 was like this before harvest.

From what I understand of the PS experience the xbox is by far better. 90% of the time we're just kicked to the sign in screen but occasionally get kicked to XBOX dashboard. It's not bricking our system and always fires right back up. Basically the more juiced the content the more likely the glitch or frame rate drop.

After switching to Xbox last week its insane how much better the experience is, only had 1 crash to dashboard due to a heist bug! Feels so good being able to run Heist and Delirium encounters without the anxiety that it will crash every 30 mins! Thing is you can tell the moments on the Xbox that the PS4 would have crashed on! If it stutters or lags for a second or 2 then carries on as normal, that would have been the moment it hard crashes. Perhaps GGG need to investigate it's how PS handles these stutters rather than what is causing them. Could even be a Sony issues.

TBH, outside of Blight's horrendous lag, I have yet to have any major problems with my XB. Maybe 2-3 crash to dash a week, MAYBE. Some lag here and there due to hardware limits which both consoles have. ...and that is about it. A prime time of year to consider console choice. If it is a possibility, and one thinks they may be an avid PoE console player for the next couple years, I would seriously consider an XB in the coming month(s).
