Hogwarts Legacy should be there. I STILL can't play it because of how bad the framerate is. Graphics options do next to nothing on there. I put everything on high and ultra settings at 1440p or even 4k and I get sharp drops below 40 FPS.
I change everything to medium or low settings at 1080p and I still get drops down below 40 FPS. As well as, some instances that go into the 30's. Makes no sense at all. Great game, but it's poorly built on a technical level. Those that bought it on console lucked out. Because the developers focused on those, instead of the PC version. That much is very clear.

I played it in the Deck so I shouldn't expect it to run all too smoothly, but I've played other games just as graphically demanding that ran at a constant 40 fps, on medium too. The game works, but I agree that performance is all over the place.

EvertonFC547d ago

Consoles is the primary version/focus, PC isn't there primary market as unfortunately they probably cheap out knowing half the player count pirated the copy.
I'm sorry to say buy piracy ruins PC versions because it ain't worth the time probably?

It's one part of the competency crisis plaguing AAA these days. Lack of disciplined people being hired, and those that are rely too heavily on hardware solutions to pick up their slack in software. It's an ongoing issue in most industries right now. Just as well, AAA keeps missing the mark routinely be it gameplay or performance and that's often across all platforms. Find myself enjoying AA and Indies more these days.

MrDead548d ago

How is Starfield not on that list, it looks like a 10+ year old game and runs like s**t!

Inverno547d ago

Cause do we really need to speak on yet another Bethesda game being an unoptimized/buggy mess? Should go without saying at this point.

And let me give you the worst website out there, your on it right now. How many times are we going to see runtime error, maybe change the name to runtime-error.com🤣 Doesn't matter what browser you use, or clean cookies that runtime error just keeps coming back.

badz149546d ago

Due to N4G, I'm currently cirlcling through 3 different browsers on my phone at the moment just to see on which 1 it decides to run next without that damn error. Should have put it up there in this article just to make a statement!

many 2023 pc games are unoptimized

Lost in Random was great. Chorus and Evil West were pretty good, but nothing really special. I really liked No More Heroes 3, but I thought it was the weakest of the mainline series. Haven't played the rest.

Demetrius290d ago

Yeah I've been tempted to play no.
more heroes 3

Chocoburger290d ago (Edited 290d ago )

My personal pick is a game called Super Cloudbuilt. Though, there's a serious problem, the game has been delisted on both PS4 and XBO. The only way to play it on PS4 now is if your console is hacked, which is unfortunate.

There is a different version of the game called Cloudbuilt available on Steam, but there's some differences between the two. If you have a hacked PS4, and you like fast-paced 3D platformers, do not skip Super Cloudbuilt, the game can get hard, but its so damn satisfying completing every level. Oh, and the soundtrack is marvelous, I listen to it on my PC all the time.

Venoxn4g290d ago

The Wonderful 101 game is amazing.. No more heroes games are very good too.. good list overall

ChasterMies289d ago

These games are all appropriately rated. I see a high potential for bailing on these games before getting to the end.

cbuc1125289d ago

After all of the updates and patches, Wanted:Dead is now must play.

This is a great month for me, I have almost bought Wild Hearts a ton of times and same for Cult of the Lamb.

Some really good variety here, and some serious playtime on offer here with all the RPG's. Good luck finishing all these games in a month heh.

Time Splitters is fantastic on the classic side, and glad to see they keep supporting PSVR2 with games

TheEroica313d ago (Edited 313d ago )

Really grateful I had the good sense to drop pay to play multi-player. It's a rip off.

Einhander1972313d ago

At least when you buy the basic PS+ tier you actually get new games often including AAA games.

This month PS+ got the Star Wars Skywalker Saga, Five Nights at Freddy's:: Security Breach, and Ender Lilies

Xbox hasn't gotten any new games for their basic tier since July and before that it was in August 2023. And if that wasn't bad enough the games they got were just recycled from game pass.

TheEroica312d ago

14 people downvoted and enjoy paying for something millions of pc gamers get for free. Lol.

seanpitt23313d ago (Edited 313d ago )

They could have included the dlc for the Witcher 3 game of the year addition geez..

How many times do they want to keep putting WD2 on

Einhander1972313d ago

PS+ 17 games this month unlike game pass which only offered 7 almost half of them I got years ago on PS+,.and the rest are indies from companies I haven't even heard of.

And the Sony Pictures movie collection will probably get updated with new movies and shows from Crunchy Roll too.

Not bad for a subscription that costs significantly less game pass even before they raised the prices.

crazyCoconuts313d ago

Still not as good as it was a year ago. I think they're walking back on the quality of games just like XBGP is. It's a good thing though...ppl gotta start buying games again.

darthv72313d ago

For me, the redeeming titles are the Time Splitters ones. Sadly i do not subscribe to premium, only extra.

VersusDMC313d ago

Well you can still buy them. PS2 titles range from 5 (the clone wars) to 20 (tomb raider legend). So it may be a good price.

Becuzisaid313d ago

I'd bet these are in the expensive side. People have been wanting some kind of timesplitters remaster for a long time now.

pwnmaster3000313d ago

I thought it was a pretty good month, then I saw time splitter. It made it so much better. I always wanted to play this game but never did

Deeeeznuuuts313d ago

Not the best month for me other than timesplitters!! Can't wait to replay them again, be nice if they have trophies too but no danger of they don't, can't wait!
