PC port future.

So recently, we have seen some preety crappy ports on the PC. First Arkham knight, that was so bad they had to recall all units in hopes of fixing the issues they had. Of course, as most of us know, that didn't work and the technical issues continued. Then there was the Black Ops 3 port. Once again, there were several problems that made the game unplayable. Activision posted a fix on their forum that could "perhaps" make some of the issues a bit better. As awful as it is, we are starting to witness a pattern here and I was wondering what you think. Is this the newest trend? Are we gonna see more shitty ports? Write your opinions in the comments.

Bad ports are nothing new. Just business as usual.

Lemme just look in my crystal ball

 

 

oh wait, I forgot I can't predict the future.

 

But if I had to take a wild guess, shit ports are here to stay for a while longer because up to now, they got away with it almost every time except for arkham knight. Maybe if people stopped preordering we'd see a diminishing trend. But hey, expecting people to be smart is naive at best I suppose...

2015 has been a good year.

There will always be a few turds. 2014 was a bad year.

I think you are looking into the wrong place. Sure Arkham Knight was horrible, but all the Arkham series games have had pretty serious problems on PC on release. And lots of CoD games in the series have had bad PC ports. Especially in recent years since MW2. I'll also add Mortal Kombat X to the list as well.

 

But PC has also gotten good ports like Metal Gear Solid V, Mad Max. The Witcher 3. Just to name few of the biggest multiplatform games from this year.

 

And PC has gotten lots of very well made games throughout the year.

 

 

I employee the strategy of playing and spending money on games that are well made and not bothering with the ones that aren't. I recommend it actually, I've had lots of good experiences with games throughout the year.

Console games suck, because console users buy shit games. Don't buy shit games. I think the appropriate metaphor is you can't polish a turd.
