Let's get serious, here

[Mad God Kyle]

Alright, so, are there REALLY any problems with the PC version of this game? Everyone says it crashes and it's buggy and blah blah blah, and "it's the same as the Dynasty Warriors ports, blah blah blah".

Let's face some facts here. Not everyone has those problems. DW8XLCE and DW8E? Haven't had a SINGLE problem with any of them. No bugs, no crashes, nothing. And it's not like I have a top-of-the-line computer. I'm willing to bet, at MINIMUM, 70% of the people complaining either don't have updated drivers or didn't look at system requirements.

So, what is the real issue here? I want an honest, unbiased, detailed response to this. I would also like to know if, forgetting port complications, if the PC version has anything over the console version (if only graphics). Control scheme doesn't really matter because I use a gamepad anyway.

Bladestorm: Nightmare looks like a really great game, and I've had interest in it for a while. Now, I only need to know where to buy it: Console or PC. If it really is as good of a game as I think it is, I don't want PC-only users to be deterred by childish, caps-locked reviews consisting of "BUGS AND CRASHES, $60 TOO EXPENSIVE, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥".

So, serious answers and responses, please. I'd also like to hear people's thoughts on the game, such and such, etc. I'm tired and I'm going to bed now.

Tsubaki, do you have win 8.1 or win 7? Some people are having less technical problems on win 7.

Someone suggested that Bladestorm runs better in Windows 7, so that might also be a factor here. Anyone notice a difference? How does it run for those who use Windows 7?

Well I'm on windows 7 and I don't get any crashes so.

Well I'm on Windows 7 and I do get freezes with following blackscreen. I suspect this might be a case of the graphic card memory not being correctly depleted, because on max settings I crash down every 10-20 minutes, while on medium settings I can keep playing for 3 hours and not crash.

Hope they have a patch in the making because the game looks better on max and afterall 60 Euros are very highly prices for a pc game, thus the game should work perfectly. It's not okay to pay for rework effort on an old game, which then fails to deliver the improved graphic quality to many users whose systems are able to run games like GTA V or Shadow of Mordor in top quality.

Don't know, I can play fine on max graphics minus Reflections (sends me down to the 20s to run it with reflections) Can't' really tell much of a differnce with it off though which is strange in itself I guess.

That's the funny part. When I play with everything maxed and v-sync there are no frame drops nor screen tearing, which proves the pc can easily handle the game. But then it keeps crashing after a while, that's why I suspect memory leak.

Differences are as you said not the biggest ouuh and aaaah effects, however it does look a tad smoother around the edges, better lighting and less weird shadows. I can play without that but I payed 60 bucks to have them.

I'm on 8.1.

[Ted Snark]

That might be one factor then. Maybe Bladestorm has additional problems in win 8.1.

[Ted Snark]

This game has some really random problems. For some it works like a charm, for some it does not work at all. For some win 8.1 has no problems with this game, for some win 7 has no problems with the game. Some that have older GPU's can run this better than GTX 980 owners. WTF, Koei...

I just had my first crash ever yesterday............on exiting the game, I hit quit game, the window closes and then "Bladestorm Nightmare has stopped working".
