Why are ports from ps3/xbox360 or any console port so bad

[Fxinfinite]

Why are some game ports are so bad let’s take gta 4 it’s legit unplayable whitout mods or even manhunt both of these are broken or unplayable (manhunt legit got the anti piracy on when you legit bought the game) or games that are limited to 60 and won’t even run at 60

Architecture.
Console games are designed to be played on consoles, they're made and tailored specifically to that hardware and the consoles architecture.
Sometimes coding problems happen that also get lost in translation.
That's why many older games haven't been remade or rereleased, because the back catalog of HOW they made the game, is just lost to time.
Square-Enix is kind of infamous for doing this.

They should rebuild the games imo.

Most ports are great but best known ports are always the bad ones

Consoles had a lot more dominance back when so devs didn't care as much to develop/port properly for PC.

consoles have lower specs than pc's, usually

That has nothing to do with it. It's laziness and lack of funding for proper ports.

if i make a game to run on a ♥♥♥♥ computer, it wont be optimized for a beefy machine

face this fact.....the PS3's CPU was a monster to the point a cluster of them was turned in to a super computer....now that all consoles are just really X86 based it will be a joke going forward......

Take a very nice poem from English language.
Go to translate google com and put that poem in.
Translate the poem into russian or another language.
Copy the result and translate it again back to English.

That's basically what a console port is. Most of it works, but it's not native for PC.

because console coding is different than pc coding

it is at ps4 and xbox one than their coding become similar to pc

Because it is not the original game code but a translated / mangled / hacked version of it. Also, because the gaming industry is a horribly exploitative consumer trap.
