Not really an issue with the game SSD is faster than HDD could it be optimized more sure but slowly games will stop running good on HDD and focus more on SSD

I understand it, but in this case, it is an issue, I play most games in hdd, and played mk11 on it all the time, mk1 almost can't run in hdd

Mk1 was designed to run on ps5. Ps5 uses an SSD so the game was optimized around an SSD mk11 was designed for ps4 wich ships with an HDD so it was more optimized for HDD

Pc is hard to optimize for since theres about a few billion to a few trillion diffrent pc combinations u can have by changing from HDD to SSD or if u use a graphics card from 1 company or another can all change how good something runs, so optimizing for all pcs is almost impossible

Pc is hard to optimize for since developers and publishers are lazy and only care about one platform.

Fixed your post.

It's a reasonable upgrade to ask the customer to make in exchange for a game that's heavy on assets. SSDs have been a thing for a long time now.

Software vendors that sell stuff with disk IO-heavy operations like games, virtualization, and backups will fire any Project Manager that steers a project toward pleasing people who have no money and aren't regarded as the main audience, which you aren't with an HDD hardware profile. People want fancy schmancy. You come in dead last priority-wise in the real world. It's just the truth of the business.

No one's saying that upgrading to an SSD is not reasonable. But why are we upgrading all these computer parts when literally every game still runs like trash or has inferior performance? Why when they create these games with only consoles in mind? They barely please the one's who actually spend 2-3k on hardware. Even those of us with the newest or high end specs are still left in the dust for the most part. Unless it's a game specifically designed for the PC then converted to console later. It's pure laziness on the publishers and developers part. They rather not try it out on the basic low, medium and high end specs in certain generations. They just test it out on their little console box and think it's good. Since they know the consumer bots will buy anything, even on this platform.

It's a fine concern to worry about entertainment-to-dollar cost ratio, but MK isn't that hoggy. It has problems in areas like netcode, but I see a lot of people complaining with graphics cards that should have no problem running it at native 1080p max, so that makes me think it's a them problem or they're exaggerating in the extreme. Probably trying to run 4k and they don't know it or something to that effect. Maybe, maybe not. But it's no modern day Crysis that's for sure.

I admit there is ample room to complain about some other recent games regarding performance, though.

I'm speaking in general. Not just specifically MK. It's not about the entertainment to dollar cost ratio. It's about the performance to dollar. If I'm spending 2-3k on all this hardware. Then these games should function just as well as the 500$ boxes. There are issues with this game even on the 30 and 40 series cards. Now obviously there are way worse games out there in terms of performance. But the fact still remains that this game does have issues in terms of performance in certain areas, such as fatalities, brutalities, fatal blows, intros, netcode and input registering.

The loading times for everything have improved significantly for me. I have the game on a SN770 and i'd say everything loads almost 5x faster than at launch
