The. Subject is bad pc ports

This mean if the performance is bad, the control is bad or if the option menu are bad and over complicated.
I'm just bringing this up because I was playing some of the Nosgoth beta, it is alright.
But then I thought oh this is based on legacy of kain games, I hear they are good, and there is a sauearenix sale, so I got it.
But the option menu is bad an confusing, it just make pick up drivers to do stuff, and I don't know which one is better to pick, I even pick up one and my pc cot frozen

So you have any experience with bad ports?

ok, after playing around i noticed it isnt as bad of a port as i thought.

is just that the start menus are all weird located, like the game isnt working, and then if i just start the game, the game run just fine.

Dark Souls. Full stop.

It's a good game, but good fucking lord, it runs absolutely AWFUL on a PC. Don't have a high-end machine? HAVE FUN PLAYING IT THROUGH A TINY, TINY WINDOW!

Keep in mind, I can run Metal Gear Rising with fairly decent graphics flawlessly.

The difference between the ports of Devil May Cry 3 and 4 is unbelievable.

3 is an awful port, with no graphics options, poor gamepad support and a plague of other problems.

4 can run at 60fps on toasters, looks great, plays great, and even has an extra difficulty mode which quadruples the number of onscreen enemies.

Fucking Mass Effect.

What's that? Want a PC port? Yeah sure whatever.

What? You want a PC port that isn't a buggy, crashy, horrible, half-finished, half-assed mess? Pfffft fuck off.

There's also a reocurring problem with PC games these days that they run like shit on lower-end machines.

What, don't have the money to spend on a high-end gaming rig? FUCK YOU THEN, FIRST-WORLD ONLY, BITCH!

Mass Effect's PC version doesn't run shit on a bad computer, it just runs shit. It's badly made, badly coded, cheaply produced, made in a rush. It was an afterthought.

Resident evil 4
I'm pretty sure there is a new pc versrion but back in the day it had my pc gaming buddy over at my house to play it on gamecube
could have also had to do with his computer specs but it seemed up to date at the time

The new PC version is much better, but still badly flawed. When you plug in a controller, it assumes it's an xbox pad, making the QTEs impossible and no way to remap the buttons so it displays the prompt for the button it actually wants. Even if you set it for logitech dualshock, it still says tap button 2 to not die when it really wants button 3.

Actually. PC games assuming you use an xbox pad is a pretty common (and insulting) issue nowadays.

MS is behind Windows/Xbox so they patch official Xbox product support into Windows so for compatibility reasons it makes sense for a dev to make that the main supported controller on a Windows version of their game.

It's really a nightmare for devs to build compatibility for multiple controllers.
So if you have a specific preference for controller/shape/buttons/triggers/whatever, just take apart a wired 360 controller and mod the shit out of it.
