When can we expect our full price games to actually run well? This has gotten absolutely out of hand

  1. When people stop paying for/pre-ordering unfinished games …. so most likely never. Day one patches have become common place and companies are being praised for “fixing” games after release – that’s the bare minimum, the game should have worked before shipping it.

    – Dont pre order
    – wait for proper reviews
    – wait 2 weeks for possible fixes if its good
    – Japanese devs always screws pc ports, its like they saw a pc for the first time in recent years

    Even the trailers and gameplay showed this.

    Maybe if people are smart enough to stop preordering and not purchasing a game they absolutely know it’s not finished or looking through reviews, we wouldn’t have a problem.

    Just wait for it to run well and then buy it

    Capcom in the past has been pretty quick to fix PC performance issues on their games, they’re just not great with it on launch. It’s either they fix it later or delay the PC release. I think most people would prefer for it to just launch so they can play it in some capacity if they don’t mind the performance hit while it gets fixed.

    Charge us $10 more = more broken games and poor ports

    But inflation!!!

    More greed…don’t pay QA people and give the stock holders more money. Just pay the people that make the microtransactions and rake in the cash.

    I know this isn’t a well written post but I’m tired.

    Did anyone say don’t preorder yet? I can’t see the comments

    IDK why anyone pre orders games anymore, I don’t care if it’s your most favorite dev/publisher in the world and they’ve made some of your most favorite games-

    They still screw up, routinely. Capcom does good PC ports but they also screw them up often enough and need work.
    RE8 had tons of performance problems because of denuvo’s shit implementation, Monster Hunter Rise had bugged settings that did not work and it took them a while to fix ’em. Monster Hunter World had a performance problems that I’m not sure ever got fixed- got a bit better when the DRM was taken out. Oh yeah- then they broke some of their old games while shoving new DRM into them.

    Whatever- you get the point. Stop preordering games, it’s not worth it and you wind up having to wait anyway for the game to be fixed.

    Just brute force it 60 fps vsync 1080p here I come

    I haven’t bought a new game at launch in like 10 years. This shit doesn’t affect me. It’s a peaceful life.

    Look just wait 2-3 weeks before you buy if you dont want to deal with it. Easy fix

  14. The frame rate issues are stuttering, most benchmarkers and complainers are failing to understand

    THIS IS A CPU BOUND GAME. your expensive $1500 GPU dosent matter in this game if you cheaped out on CPU. optimization do need to be improved and they of course can. Capcom has proved there PC ports to be good.

    1080p/1440p/4k are sharing similar Performance results on the same configurations. Which means, The only way to increase Performance is CPU.

    When People stop Preordering they have to do something, but seeing that so many still shill out their Money, why would they change that? Why put in the work when Idiots still buy your Mess?

  16. Charrbard

    Game is out in 24 hours. Maybe wait until then to jump to conclusions.

  17. NotSoGermanSlav

    Look at how many games have shader compilation stutters that never gets fixed. Not enough peole cares about bad PC versions sadly so i doubt any changes to these kind of things

    Ugh…. I’ve been looking forward to this game for months, and I was hoping that it would release well. I didn’t preorder for exactly this reason, but it still sucks that we’ll have to wait for who knows how long for it to be fixed.

    Also, it’s tough to get a read on when things actually become playable. I waited 6 months for Jedi Survivor to get several patches, but even then, people were saying they had frame drops and crashes. I kept up with the patch notes like I was doing homework before I got it, but reviews went both ways, saying it was fixed, or still broken. I hate that so much of the onus is on us now to determine if something’s even playable.

  19. :v why yall buy games b4 they release… even released games are in shit states, why trust a pre-order or ea deal

  20. Don’t buy until it’s fixed. Simple as that. It’s singleplayer anyway.

  21. Toad-Toaster

    When you refuse to buy them until they do.

    And this is why I am now, finally, starting my playthrough of. Baldurs gate 3. to be fair, i had it since early beta, but never got around to playing it. Played act1 on release but wanted to wait for my pc upgrade and widescreen. That has arrived now, wirh the added bonus of all the big patches that came in the meantime.

    So by the time i get around to DD2, probably in half a year or a full year, there will be probably a decent sale of 10 or 20% at least, as well as some major patches.

    I’ll never pre order again. CP77 was the last time I broke that rule and guess what. Burned again. Well, it’s good now but I’ll plan to play it after BG3. So enough to do until I get around to DD2

    It’s important to remember with PC, there isn’t really the same standard as there is with console. All consoles are identical in software and hardware whereas with PC, there are likely thousands of various combinations. It’s impossible to know how a game will run over every kind of hardware/software combo.

  24. PosterityVGC

    Has there ever been a game that released in a perfect state…

  25. Color me shocked. Isn’t this one of the few 30 fps only games this gen on consoles?

    You can expect absolutely nothing. Put your money where your mouth is and see how fast things change.
