Port is pretty $hitty, again.

[Pecata]

The PC port is yet again supbar. Not as bad as the first game but far from great. Wtf are they doing? This is very disappointing.

You own it though

you do realize i could refund it?

Game runs amazing for me using a 3060 12gb video card. High frame rates, beautiful visuals, no crashes or stutters. Great port.

[Swifty404]

I see already srupid positive reviews whit just 1 hour play time....

[Thorba]

Was going to buy it but the first steam page is full of crashing reports and i think i will do it like always, wait 2-3 month and enjoy a full patched game at lower price.

The port is good, buy better hardware.

Incredible take from someone who doesn’t even own the game. Bold move, reviewing something you haven’t touched, truly the pinnacle of Steam forum discourse. But I get it: farming rage clicks and pretending your toaster got burned by ray tracing is easier than accepting that not every game is made for 2010 office hardware. Meanwhile, actual players are out there enjoying a solid port, backed by great reviews. But sure, let’s trust Captain Ragebait over reality. Classic Steam forums where ownership is optional, and whining is mandatory.

I'm (I know), on a 4090 and with all very high DLAA and 4K I'm at 90-120 fps.

This is a SOLID port, and makes me realize people will complain about anything.

its useless because update patches never improve performance its extremely rare, in most cases some games even perform worse, essentially regardless of the number of updates distributed, they dont bring improvement in performance, those patches only solve small issues and not bring performance improvements.

A game running like crap is a core issue that is often ignored, same with Horizon Zero Dawn, I observed that game since release across all the multiple patches distributed, also Cyberpunk was the same case, that game still runs like crap for what it is.

Runs flawless so far on my rig
at 4K with things on high.
So not complaining.

A channel owned by IGN isnt saying much.

Also note that the R5 3600 they are testing this with never goes to its proper boost speed. So they are either not knowledgeable on the issue, or are purposely limiting the CPU to make it seem like the game is running worse than it should, due to that limitation.

Its really bad they are not aware what is going on with the CPU and that its not running at its true potential. Either way, if you are trying to be a tech channel and dont pick up on things like this. Just shows they dont know what they are doing. As this happens in all their videos they use the 3600 in.

With that said, DF is a terrible channel.

According to DF, the cpu R5 3600 is what Alex had chosen to match with PS4 cpu, but you are saying that's just not the way to go about it to match PS4 performance. Is that it? No actually that's not why Alex used R5 3600, he used it to match Nixxe's medium setting.

Its bad either way due to custom console chip and custom API for a closed system. There is no close comparison. Of course PC ports are going to demand more due to those optimizations being taken away.

If you going to show a low tier, bottom barrel CPU for PC, and have its performance limited. Its not going to run the way it should. Period and shouldnt be used. It doesnt matter how the console port runs. Its how PC runs it at its true, unlocked potential.

You realize this was running on PS4 pro with the same visuals, at 30 fps. This is not a good performance for the PC port.

No one is reviewing the game here. I am simply sharing the details of Digital Foundry findings. I wasn't going to get this game anyway due to the horrible story and writing. I loved TLOU, but this is spitting in the face of the fans, writing wise.

yeah but its 2025. What are the chances someone is going to buy this game for 50 bucks to play it on something worse than 3060?
Its more than playable on any modern hardware, so there isnt much to complain about here.

the mouse aiming feels terrible cant even aim properly
