By Crusher Go To PostIsn’t it always like this? First half of a console generation PC ports are bad, second half PC ports are good.The first half of the console gen is already over and those ports were mostly fine (because they were still mostly ports of last gen games). It's this second half of the console gen PC ports that are particularly bad.
Maybe not. What changed anyway? DX12?
Mainly because there are even more poorly designed shaders while ignoring shader compilation issues, mostly. With a small side of designing around the fast ssd's in consoles and not using things like DirectStorage to make the same techniques portable to PCs with fast ssd's. Most are still using techniques based around loading data from hdd's on PC.

But it's also UE bad optimization which you'd think would have the opposite effect, with Epic's pc expertise and all.

Reports are worse than tlou PC for Jedi. Top of the line PCs and 4090s struggling to hit 50fps not even maxed but only hitting 40-50% utilization. Scaling not working, game using 300+ GBS of SSD space for some reason, extremely CPU limited but not really benefitting from 8core+ or faster CPUs.
Smokey is on the money when they say it's Arkham knight tier port. And that shit was pulled from sale due to how bad it was.
By Yurtlicious Go To PostNot as good as my favorite version of Titan (including music):
Titan eh😏
e: Changed timestamp to final phase, because that music rules
The lyrics to that song are also great because Titan was summoned by goblins to rid their territory of the adventurers ("overdwellers") invading it:
Wrought from the rock that stands upon old,
With heart of black and a stare that's cold.
Cold are the hands that grasp at your soul,
'Fore the graves are dug and the death knells toll.
Tempered in the flows of the mountain's core,
Where the rage runs red twixt shore and shore.
Shorn from the world 'neath the blazing sun,
Bound to the dark, for the light I shun!
Bow down, overdweller! (Under the weight)
Bow down, overdweller! (Under the weight)
Bow down, overdweller! (Under the weight)
Bow down, overdweller! (In hell I wait)
Bow down, overdweller! (Under the weight)
Bow down, overdweller! (Under the weight)
Bow down, overdweller! (Under the weight)
Succumb to the hate that corrupts your fate!
Into the dark of an endless night,
Where the pulse of the land offers no respite.
In spite of the blood that was spilled before,
You whet your blades, you thirst for more.
Now kneel overdweller, your lord commands,
There's no salvation for the sons of man.
The skies will tremble and the earth will quake,
From the crumbling walls no one escapes!
Bow down, overdweller! (Under the weight)
Bow down, overdweller! (Under the weight)
Bow down, overdweller! (Under the weight)
Bow down, overdweller! (In hell I wait)
Bow down, overdweller! (Under the weight)
Bow down, overdweller! (Under the weight)
Bow down, overdweller! (Under the weight)
I'll drag you right down to the seventh gate!

That said, it feels like (stutter struggle and TLOU aside), the 'bad ports' are also bad on console.
Gotham Knights, Jedi 2, Elden Ring (perf wise) have all been rough on every platform

starting to think asking devs to make increasingly complex full aaa games in 3-4 years for 3 consoles is starting to take a toll on the quality of the products
Starting to think Respawn is just a shit studio considering Stig said EA offered to delay it longer than 6 weeks but he said nah.

By Dark PhaZe Go To PostThe Bethesda acquisition was huge for them, as they can actually get content out. If Perfect Dark can just be good, then something like Starfield -> Gears 6 -> Perfect Dark -> Elder Scrolls could recover their reputation in terms of first party finally.I think Beth is the real ace in the hole. Cornered the wrpg market nicely. All they need is a good release cadence.
Obsidian is MS's best studio. If they keep pumping out stuff like Pentiment in between bigger stuff I'm set.
Starfield will do well and I will play the shit out of it (bugs and all), but ES VI is like 7 years away it wouldn't surprise me it's crossgen, and maybe not even launch day.

I liked Wolfenstein II and Skyrim, that’s it. And I only liked Skyrim after a bunch of mods, so. Doom 2016 was cool too, Eternal worthless.
Really curious with Indiana Jones, is it going to be FPS? Will they risk going 3rd person?

True!

Feel like Elder Scrolls 6 should be a launch title for the Xbox XXX. Otherwise they’re gonna continue to fuck up release cadence which is part of the problem today.

It was good performance by FROM standards. At least on the Series X with VRR. That said, FROM’s standards are a low bar. We just accept it because the games are good and fun.
That’s how I generally feel about performance issues though. If the game is good but has poor performance, I can look past it providing it doesn’t deter from my enjoyment of the game.
If the game is average or bad, poor performance becomes the cherry on top of the reasons I don’t like/enjoy the game.
By Laboured Go To Post😂 This is amazing
Those ammo costs will have you doing missions with a club and a life raft
By s y Go To PostFinal boss of the horizon dlc is insane in scopeYeah, it was good but the final bit was annoying.

Demo is up on Steam. It's short but fun, definitely some Superliminal vibes.
It can get a bit disorienting, I got motion sickness while playing it.
