The gameplay itself was the best part of the experience.

That’s not even the full number of crashes, just the ones that resulted in deaths.įor someone not on a PS4 Pro, hitting 100 would border on impossible due to the fact that you lose upwards of 3–4 hours of gameplay each time you die.
From level 99–100 he died five times from crashes. The crashes continued, just far less frequently.

He upgraded and got himself a PS4 Pro a few days in to combat this issue. Karv had a PS4 Slim going into the race to 100, and he was crashing fairly often as well. I wasn’t the only ones with these issues, either. This was incredibly jarring for my gameplay flow, and made playing less enjoyable. Not only that, but the load times on PS4 were exceptionally long, meaning it took 3–5 minutes to get back into the game each time. Due to the way these crashes affect the game, many of these crashes resulted in my character dying, and losing ten percent of my current level’s experience. On a first generation PS4, my game was crashing an average of once an hour. While that was doable, it wasn’t comfortable, and is definitely an issue. I died a few times to this before giving up and remapping my main skill to square. Delve in particular was awful for this, as the cart would fill up most of the screen after you finished a delve. There were also many places where things overlapped the screen, making it impossible to use any skill that was on X. This put me in a position where I was only using two potions instead of four, which resulted in a massive decrease in overall potential. There just wasn’t a way to reasonably hit the controls while maintaining my other movement. I tried this setup and it was incredibly inconvenient, and I couldn’t pull it off despite it being better than any other setup. The streamer who stuck with it and hit level 100- Karvarousku (Karv)-first rebound his controls so that his potions were on L1, R1, 元, and R3, with his final health potion being on L2. On a controller you have to find four to five dedicated buttons that you can press every three to five seconds. While they are illegal, many players also use macros to make using potions easier.

On a PC the potions are all in a row, and you can have a hand basically dedicated to just pushing them. Right off the bat it became apparent that my skill wouldn’t be the main problem. However, I had no clue what the depth of the issues would be. I knew that it would be a difficult transition going in, so I intentionally played a build that required little aiming, which is something that all the streamers ended up doing. Not to mention the fact that they also have to integrate a mouse onto a controller, which isn’t easy. Path of Exile is a game with a lot of buttons, so trying to comfortably move all of those keys onto a controller is difficult. Going in I knew everything would be more clunky.
Honestly, my biggest issue by far was with the controls. Want to know what I mean? Let’s take a look at my POE PS4 review. But last month it was finally released, and I was able to put my hands on my favorite game, on my favorite console. In fact, the PS4 launch was initially scheduled for four months back, but it kept getting pushed due to licensing issues. It has been on Xbox 1 for around a year now, so it was nice to finally see some support for my own beloved system. Last month Path of Exile finally came to Playstation 4.
