Irresponsible journalism, if they are even still considering themselves journalist. Picking on the xbox one when the PS4 version's super bad frame drops don't even get a mention. The editor here deserves to get fired. This site is support to be about all gaming not good gaming for ps4 and nit pick the hell out of xbox.

Its shit like this that makes people wonder if this place should be rebranded SonySpot. PS4 users are having frame rate issues too, yet instead of the title stating "fallout 4 having stuttering issues" it intentionally calls out only one of the two machines with problems.

Xbox One is a complete POS machine. Seriously. If you were stupid enough to purchase this console shame on you, you deserve horrible performance. Someone put this thing out of its misery already.

I do not own a Playstaion for the record, unbiased view of a POS machine with a very lacking lineup of games both current and future.

Any in other news Call Of Duty Black Ops 3 runs at a Dynamic resolution on the Xbox One and PS4 but we're not going to mention that because it puts the PS4 in a negative light

What would be a better use of my time; which would be the most fun: FALLOUT 4, The Star Wars game, or Just Cause 3?

@naomi_phd: That's in matter of tastes. I'm going for Fallout 4 and may look into getting Just Cause 3. For me personally, I'm going to skip Star Wars Battlefront. Not worth the $59 for a multiplayer game in my honest opinion.

After reading and listening about all of the technical problems prevalent on the consoles, and the underwhelming graphical fidelity of fallout 4, I wonder where all of the processing power of the consoles is being spent on. Compare this game to the Assassin's Creed Unity, which had it share of bugs and frame-rate stutter, but looked absolutely stunning and I wonder if Bethesda just sucks at optimization. Their games do rock though, so it is a forgivable transgression.

@Ferric24:

Didn't they come out with a huge patch (more like a huge service pack) for Assassin's Creed Unity which--according to the reviews I read--solved the glitches? Maybe Fallout 4 will have the same.

@larsondir82: PC version is buggy as hell and many people are posting having to work hours just to get it to run first. I've especially seen this with AMD players.

@larsondir82: you can count on PC version having even more bugs or problems then consoles. You can trust that it's across all platforms but even more so with PC as unlike consoles pcs aren't standardized hardware wise making optimization harder and always even worst with PC platform then whatever it is with consoles and surely not as stable as consoles either.

Having more access and control comes at a cost for PCs as there is good reason why they standardize hardware with consoles. No matter what both have their pros and cons and surely worth owning no matter what and you will surely enjoy the game on PC regardless but don't expect the issues to be any less as aside from those factors it's still a Bethesda game after all so bugs and not very best visuals is to be expected nor what is great or important about any of their RPGs and that was only point I was trying to make as I own both and happy gaming on either PC or console and like either for different reasons.

@toophat2014: True that multiplatform games can run better on consoles but understand that PC gamers and modders can make it run like a charm with their patches. The Witcher 3 is the only Game that ran pretty good on pc while the consoles where having more problems. I cant remember if it was the XB.one had the worse performance or it was the ps4. I think it has to be the laziness of developers not fully optimize their games for all platforms.

@toophat2014: While it's true that sometimes AAA games actually look and perform better on consoles (I'm looking at you Arkham Knight) a lot of AAA games actually run better and have less problems. One only needs to look at Fallout 4. Because PC's are so much more powerful, if you possess a high end pc, you can just overpower un-optimized sections of a game.

For example, even in the ps4 version of fallout 4, you have unacceptable dips into the 20's during certain spots in the game. With the PC, you can either overpower these problem areas, or change the settings to adjust to the relative power of your PC's hardware. Also, patching can be done much quicker, since developers don't have to worry about the burdensome quality control of Sony and Microsoft.

In conclusion, some pc ports can be the superior version, even if their initially more buggy and un-optimized, because of the PC's power, and the PC's unobtrusive quality control on Steam.

Stutter is but one issue, lack of facial expression, draw distance, aliasing, cluster and particle density, lighting, shadows, and lower grade texture mapping.... all of these cutbacks on visuals ON TOP of frame rate...

PS4 has a superior GPU and better graphics than XBO, it doesnt make it a better console or flawless. Yes we get it the PS4 is graphically superior to the XBO- we acknowledge it can we move on??? Why do sites continuously compare graphics of the PS4 vs XBO. Obviously PS4 will always come out on top, we know this as a fact and function of a superior GPU, can we focus on newsworthy gaming content now please??? Like whats actually in the games or upcoming games or interviews with devs or ideas? Anything other than the same ole PS4 vs XBO vs PC garbage. Im a PC gamer and an Xbox fan and i'll fully admit the PS4 has better graphics i dont care. I didnt spend $400 expecting the best graphics around, i already have a PC. Spend your time and energy on better newsworthy topics please.
