Attention. PC Port impressions are extremely negative.

Attention.

The PC port seems to be a disaster.
Just read this tech review. We're talking about a 5090 here, currently the most powerful GPU by far.

In addition, it doesn't even come close to 30 frames on the Steam Deck in any settings.

Awful news, it’s like they’ve learned nothing. But neither have I bc I’m still buying it 💀

What a shame. Meanwhile Dynasty Warriors Origins was excellent... and look at how that was received. You'd think Koei Tecmo would recognize the importance of good optimization.

Day 1 though, will just have to stream to Deck.

And I bet there's still going to be people saying "it runs fine on my PC".

Is it a bad pc port if the original version ran already terribly ? I played this game on ps5 and my god what at terrible framerate mess.

Both can be true, but they definitely had an opportunity to make this experience better.

I mean, it will probably run fine on my PC. Wild Hearts and Dragon's Dogma 2 also ran fine on my PC. 24GB VRAM and 64GB RAM will help a lot.

I was planning to play this on Steam Deck though...

Not surprising, it runs exactly same as Nioh, Nioh 2, Stranger of Paradise and Wo Long.
I don't know what people expected, they keep stretching same engine for past 10+ years pasts its breaking point, making it run even worse than it did while also not even delivering visuals adequate to how it runs.

Their games are equivalent of fast food, vastly enjoyable but everything technical about them is bad.

I'd hope NIOH 1 and 2 run great on most PC's these days?

And why are we forgetting that Dynasty Warriors Origins exists? That uses the same engine as Rise of the Ronin. It's not an engine issue.

Wo Long was also much improved since launch, I play Nioh/Nioh 2 and Wo Long on Steam Deck. That certifies the 'optimized' part since that should be one of the lower PC specifications.

Game running acceptably several years after release due to average hardware getting stronger is not really optimization. The hardware is just brute forcing past horrible optimization.

Even if fps is low, you can always use Lossless Scaling to delivery silky smooth frame generation.

I'd never run games at DLAA unless one's a true graphics ♥♥♥♥♥ sitting 5 inches from their screen that thinks Digital Foundry types are the gospel of settings lol

This has a lot more details including in-game settings.

By the looks of it, I might have to use DLSS or FSR3's Frame Generation for my 3060ti

[󠀡󠀡]

Just stop being poor and buy a GPU at 4x MSRP to play this PS3-looking game

[Senki]

that's sad

But I'll wait until I try it myself because my PC has no issues with multiple other games that are sitting at mixed reviews because of optimization

Thanks for linking, but annoying they didn’t seem to test DLSS quality or upscalers generally ? But seems that being selective on ultra settings will make things fine-ish
