Unfortunately this has been my experience on PS4 Pro as well, especially as a summoner/minion build.
I primarily play these types of games on PC for this reason, but all my buddies got it for PS4 so I apprehensively took the plunge. While the game looks great and is generally a blast to play, massive amounts of mobs and skill effects (think Delving especially) can bring the game's frame-rate to a crawl if not complete stop at very inconvenient times. This is in both solo and MP gaming sessions. I died 4 times in the final boss fight to Kitava for no other reason than the FPS would drop to like 5 and I'd literately get lag-stuck in his flame/lava AoE. It was definitely an anti-climatic and disappointing experience for the end of story mode boss fight. What's worse, I'm not sure what can be done outside degrading and/or removing things like spell effects and/or reducing mob density, both of which I think would definitely limit the games "fun ceiling" for the worse. Its instances like this that I do wish Cross-Save for PoE was available. At least that way I could play my toon on a higher-end PC machine solo or with other PC players, but still play with my PS4 friends whenever they were on, at least knowing the console experience wasn't my only experience. |
