4 PC games that gave the middle finger to PC Gamers.

PC gamers usually have the fortune of playing video games with better graphics, higher resolution and better support compared to their console brethren. However, sometimes a game, be it a port or a PC exclusive, comes out to shatter our faith in PC gaming. Thus, we list the top 4 games that did exactly that.

I still remember my friend chiding me, for getting the PS3 version instead of the PC version, while at the same time extolling its many perceived virtues (Better visuals, MOD support, less expensive, etc.)

After seeing, the PS3's sub-HD visuals, he gave me a smug look, that literally means "I tould you so".

That feeling of "superiority", only lasted just as far as putting the disc on the PC tray.

Just activating the game, took too much trouble for it's own worth. You literally have to jump through hoops, just to play the damn game. Yeah, register first to 2 websites so you could play. How fvcking lame is that?

After all that hassle, you'd think you'll finally be able to play it in peace, HELL NO! You'll find it to be, the most unoptimized piece of sh!t, that ever got ported to the PC.

My friend, at that time has a Quad Core with Dual Video Cards that can play Crysis on max settings. It might as well be a 486, on how well it ran GTA IV.

And you know what's even funnier? It looks worse compared to its console counterparts. LOL.

No matter, how much we hate GTA IV, at least it has 2 siverlinings for us.

1. Is that, it opened our eyes, on just how corrupt gaming journalism has become. 9's and 10's for this POS? The only way you could play the PC version on release day, is if your gaming on a supercomputer.

2. The incident, propelled my friend to buy a PS3. Hell Yeah! Now he only buys PC games, if its the lead or if there's no PS3 release. Just like me. :D

I'm making a part 2 for it. Don't worry :)

Pandamobile5140d ago

My friend plays GTA IV maxed out at 1680 x 1050 with a Phenom X3 720 and 8800 GT.

It's not _that_ bad of a port. The modding makes up for all of GTA IV's shorcomings anyways.

reintype5140d ago

You pay $50 on release, so you could play the game 1-2 years in the future?

Sorry Panda, but by the time GTA IV became playable on the PC, my friend's interest in the game, has long since wane. Besides, he already had his fill with the PS3 version he borrowed from me, and had already traded in his PC Copy.

If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos35d ago

Bit rich to have to buy games you don't want because you want Sony to support the expensive headset they sold us which cost as much as the console it runs on beyond paying third partys to support it.
Seriously in terms of first party we have horizon on day 1 and a gt 7 vr mode.

They seemingly have made little effort to support it beyond paying Capcom to make re games in VR or a second party studio to make firewall which was mismanaged.

I'm a day 1 psvr2 user and the only thing I'm excited for right now is PC support.

I commented recently this bespoke VR game development model we have right now clearly doesn't work

crazyCoconuts35d ago

On the one hand I feel like there's been plenty of smaller non-AAA games to play and occupy me as a supplement to my flat screen gaming.
But I agree that Sony has done nothing to elevate this beyond the niche it's in and into the mainstream where it would be economical to create AAA games for it.

Babadook735d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Most of these games are worth owning for most people; I own all but 2 of them in fact. So I agree with kevco33. I think you're crazy if you downplay this list quite frankly. Sony can't keep funding software if people don't buy any of it, the ball is squarely in OUR court.

Sony has spent a lot on 3rd party stuff this gen like RE.

phoenixwing35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Saving up for the headset is my first hurdle. Let alone buying games I don't want lol

mudakoshaka35d ago

People downvoting you for not having enough finances...what a world we live in, haha

phoenixwing35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

@mudako
They feel affronted at the very thought that I don't plunk down 500 immediately lol I have a little over 900 games in my backlog I've been buying games instead of hardware ever since I got my PC and ps5. I just don't know if vr is really for me honestly. Every time I have a couple hundred allocated to video games it makes more sense to buy a bunch of flat games instead of vr ones

mudakoshaka35d ago

I have 9 out of these 10 games. I try to buy all the VR games I like to support the advancement of VR!

TheEroica34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

I spoke with my wallet after watching the first headset get weak support. Easy pass until Sony earns my money. Feel bad for those who parted with 500 bucks, falling for the hype that Sony was actually gonna support this thing.

Neonridr35d ago

I own 7 of these titles off the list, lol.

NotoriousWhiz35d ago

I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.

Profchaos35d ago

As a fellow psvr2 owner the question seemingly comes down to do you own a PC.

I think I'm all in I have a habit to hold onto my systems anyhow I still have my psvr1 to hell I still have my NES.

But while it's still worth something yeah you could sell it and if Sony turns the ship around you should be able to buy another one for less than you soldmit for I feel like we won't see any fix for the headset for the next 2 years rumours show that Sony has no current first party VR games in active development after they closed London studios

The whole psvr2 situation has left me feeling a little burnt on PlayStation as a whole to be honest. The first psvr felt experimental but it was supported far more than this superior headset

MIDGETonSTILTS1735d ago

GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.

I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.

talocaca35d ago

I have most of them 😅

Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.

Resident Evil 4 Remake Was Devastated With Bugs A Month Before Launch

The Resident Evil 4 remake's director has revealed in a recent documentary that the game was riddled with bugs in its final month before launch.

Rebel_Scum51d ago

Not a big surprise really. All games are pretty rough until the very end and everything is released with bugs regardless of how the consumer quantifies it as being “polished.”

CrimsonWing6951d ago

That’s sort of how game development or any kind of software development goes. Looking for bugs and debugging, QA, and trying to scramble and polish everything before a deadline’s up.
