Infact, looks like the Xbone version is graphically better. Any reason for this?

PC has better controls, enough said.

Like for Terraria, I like the Pad controls on Xbox better. I hope the editor will come for both.
I noticed that some crafting recipes from the Wiki are not working on Xbox. Were they removed only there or on PC too? (e.g. Dental Floss x3 or Durable Contraband Pouch ( Foil + Foil + Roll of Duct Tape))

It seems to be easier, to an extent. I've watched a number of PC playthroughs, and items that are marked as contraband on PC aren't marked as contraband on Xbox One. Putty, for example. The Contraband Pouch also isn't contraband on Xbox One. There are a good number of other items that are the same way.

There are no "war camps" in the Xbox One version, so you have the inmate outfit in those levels instead of the POW outfit. The following items can't be crafted in the Xbox One version.

Cutting Floss
Die
Durable Contraband Pouch
Glass Shank
Multitool
Powered Screwdriver
Spiked Bat
Wooden Bat

I haven't been able to find crafting notes or prisoner stashes in the Xbox version yet. I was a bit annoyed when I had to resort to the game's wiki to actually figure out how to craft anything useful, not only that but a lot of the recipes don't work on the Xbox. Right now the telephone is the only way in the Xbone version to learn recipes, and that only gives you about 10 before it becomes useless. I also can't get the intellect skill to 100, it seems to max out at 99.

In the Xbox Version, you lose the abilty to see the oppents heath to spectate, The PC has lesser in animation, but works buetfully for me, its the matter of your opinion. I prefer the hot-keys for jobs and usage of items, The controls on a controller is furstarting as I keep on forgeting I cant hot-key my items or click on them. I still perfer the PC version, Early Accsess rules.

Really? In your opinion.

Actually, using a controller streamlines the input immensly.

For instance, for you to check your quest log, its 2 button clicks. Its 1 for me.

Its obvious your a PC elitist, but a mouse is not always better.

'Nuff said.

I definitely agree. While I am actually a PC player for almost all my games, the console controls are much easier.

if anything i say that the PC is better just cause of the fact that you can create your own prisions and play other peoples prisions. the xbox escapists doesn't have custum prisison.

sorry for the grammer anyway also i found that playing on the xbox one they give you alot more contreband. if you want a harder more challegeing experiance i say the PC. but if you want the easy way out its the xbox one.

the xbox one may have better graphic and (better controls for people who like the xbox one controller) but you are missing out on customs prisions. hope this helps
