Worst console -> pc ports you've encountered?

[ConfusedDolphin]

Resident Evil 4, controls have about a second of input lag 

[Rashy]

DARK. FRIKKIN. SOULS. ONE. At least i still have my PS3 stick, its a bit better.

[asquirrel]

That I've personally played? Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

 

25GB to install...but only 6 or 7GB once you deleted the VIDEO CINEMATICS in the 5 languages you *didn't* speak. Yea...rather than have separate audio tracks, they encoded each video completely. wowowowowowowow.

 

The controls and rebinding were a mess. Mouse aim was sketchy. Bleh. It was a decent enough game those things aside, but such a terrible port.

[Maxibonbits]

Prototype was pretty bad. Apparently it doesn't like monitors.

 

I did eventually get it to work, but for the average consumer it would be beyond them to do what I did. (I replaced a file with a file someone on a forum edited).

[ForsakenLive]

Dark siders 2

[shiftberry]

NFS Rivals ffs

[cliff_182]

dark souls 1 hand down!!

i love the game but man the port was bad

 

what would we do without durante

[MadManMarsBar]

GTA IV

yep for sure , hopefully they dont do the same with GTA 5

[Almercenary]

Saints Row 2

GTA IV

Dark Souls 1

Stalker Clear sky was just....*sigh*

La Noire

 

Probably loads i am missing.  There's some games that just run shit that were meant to be played on PC (looking at you postal, clear sky)

[Askew]

Rockstar games are normally bad ports.

I basically nominate any port with a 30fps lock, or an FPS with no FOV slider.

[RuecanOnRails]

Batman Arkham Asylum is a terrible console port. Not the worst, but shouldn't be ignored.

[theloveablemoose]

Dead god damn island had 360 controls on screen during the tutorial at launch.

[euniqe]

AC4 black flag. Terrible, terrible, terrible optimization.

[Poohy14]

Fallout New Vegas 

[aeterna789]

Dark Souls 1. Horrible port that they did not even bother fixing the resolution, the keybindings, no nothing.

[Hazy125]

GTA IV or need for speed rivals...

[toughtrasher]

GTA IV or need for speed rivals...

GTA 4 was pretty bad, but I still love the modding ability to this day. Very entertaining

[Thebman712]

Cod ghosts i got it on 360 and runs way better there, and you can play modes other than tdm on 360

[jmaster299]

Darksiders. I don't remember how I got it, but I am fairly certain it was included in some Humble Bundle as it's not the kind of game I would normally buy. It ranks as the worst simply because it does not support a mouse and keyboard, at all. You can't even navigate the main menu without a 360 controller. Yes the game is easier to play with a controller, but if you are going to make a PC port of a game, it needs to function with a mouse and keyboard.
 

 

...and the third

 

Two was a bad port, but there is no issue with SR the Third on PC.

I remember it being on the Humble Bundle, that's how I got it. It was alright at best.

Assassin's Creed games...

[razor767]

Sonic Generations. Displays the Xbox controls in-game when using a keyboard, default keyboard bindings are ridiculous (you can at least re-bind them), no mouse support at all, very limited in-game menu options, crashed on me several times.

 

Good game though.     

[NIC ROBERTOOO]

Saboteur, for a specific reason.

I wouldn't say it's the worst port, but it's an interesting case. Saboteur was Pandemic's last game, and hence no patches were released for the game. At launch, ATI GPU's didn't work and nor would quad-core cpu's.

My ps3 died recently so I bought it for pc. You can't change graphically settings (okay range of choice) without going into a config file. Also, it crashes if you play it not at the resolution of your monitor (also changed in the config file)

Stock it comes 900x600 I believe but can max out at 1080p at 60fps.

Finally, the map overlay does not scale with the background when zoomed, making setting waypoints near impossible.

I had to deal with all this cause I'm recording an LP in it.
