PC Vs. Console: 10 Games That Are Actually Better On Console

While games are nearly always better on PC than home consoles, the existence of shoddy PC ports means that a few exceptions do exist.

Very nice indeed.

LightofDarkness2190d ago (Edited 2190d ago )

Why is that very nice? This is basically a list of terrible ports by lazy developers. And most of them are actually better on PC now, thanks to community support or updates/patches (which really contradicts the list, terrible article).

TheHan2190d ago

@LightofDarkness; So the only reason half the games are even worth playing is cause of the community’s support? That’s trash in my book, if it takes a community to make the game right and enjoyable to play years after it’s release. Just says that it was a sad game on PC from the start. Why even bother.

LightofDarkness2190d ago

Well many of these are borne of the buyers' frustration with the release. They were promised a working product and that was not delivered, in many cases. So they take it upon themselves to rectify the situation as much as possible. Not ideal, obviously and they should never be expected to do it, but their efforst are often very admirable, and shine a light on just how shoddy some of these devs have been.

Look at Dark Souls, for instance. Released in a barely functional state, the modders had to fix a plethora of issues as FROM said they simply didn't know how (more like didn't want to). This reflected poorly on the supposedly professional developers who worked on it, to such an extent that all of FROM's subsequent efforts on PC were much, much better. And they might not have done that if the modders hadn't made Dark Souls on PC such an attractive and popular experience despite the poor quality release version. Modders probably earned them quite a few sales for no recompense over the years.

In fact, the people that fixed Dark Souls and many others opened their own PC porting studio (PH3) last year. It's an interesting scene, regardless of its shameful circumstances.

A list of poor, old ports. Most which may have never been fixed by developers were improved beyond the console versions by modders. It should be embarrassing to professional developers that modders had to fix your trainwreck of a game but many there have been and end up good versions.

That or PC performance has moved on so far they work well these days.

Borne out no more than 2015's Arkham Knight being number 1. The fact is the PC version is actually the best version to play today after the patches because everyone with a decent gaming PC now has 16GB of RAM, smooth 60FPS is possible, beyond any console version....no enhancements for the improved consoles...

It's 1080/30 on any console or you can comfortably get 1440/60 on a mid range CPU and GPU like a 1660Ti these days

Wish the PC version of Arkham Knight got all the skins the PS4 version did. The Justice League 3000 one looks awesome.

I had RDR2 on the PS4 then purchased it on my Windows 10 PC. I have had no problems whatsoever and it ran and looked far better than it ever did on my PS4. Not saying the PC configurations of other gamers didn't have issues but I did not.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio20d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing20d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9220d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit20d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing20d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9220d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
