Buzzfeed-like channel which is specialized in making retarded Top 10 clickbait lists

On topic: where the fuck was GTA4. It ran like shit even on top hardware in 2008 and had 3 (4 if you count Steam) layers of DRM. Shit port of a great game.

>Bully: Scholarship edition
The 360 port of that was completely fucked up, too.
>With Square Enix's recent port of Final Fantasy XIII, this might be a trend
Let's ignore XIII-2, LR, and Type-0 which were all serviceable ports?
>The Evil Within
That game was a bit of a mess on any platform, because of fucking id tech 5.
>Saints Row 2 only number 5
They didn't even mention how the game was tied to your FUCKING CPU CLOCK SPEED. Your CPU either had to actually be the right speed or your had to trick the program into thinking it was. If it was lower than it needed to be, the entire game slowed down, and if it was faster, the entire game sped up.
>Spider Man 2
That wasn't even a fucking port, that was some retarded version that designed completely separate from the console ones.
>Resident Evil 4 over games that actually didn't fucking run at all for 99% of the people that bought them
Yeah, no mouse support was lame, but at least I could still play it and a mouse mod was available in a week or two.
>DR3
I don't really remember having any issues with that port. It wasn't stellar, but I wouldn't call it bad, either.
>Dark Souls 1
Again, the game actually ran without DSfix. It looked like shit, and controlled like shit, but it was playable. You could fucking play it. Most people couldn't fucking play Saints Row 2, GTA4, Arkham Knight, Just Cause 3, or Deadly Premonition.
>Prepare to Die was made specifically for PC
I don't even know who Watchmojo is, but that video was awful.
>>
>>322386254
MIDI sound depends on the synthiesizer the system uses. The Playstation 1 used a Yamaha something for its SPU, and PCs of that time period rarely spent a lot of cash in those components, unless you had a good sound card.
>>
>>322387214
It was one of the standouts of previous gen, simply by having a great world, athmosphere and pushing technology forward.

In 2015 it may be forgettable but back in 2008 GTA4 was one of best games of that time (although San Andreas and 5 are better in terms of fun and content)

Shame PC port was shit and Rockstar will never ever fix it unless they'll make an anniversary patch in 2018 which removes like half the songs from radio.
>>
>>322387442
DR 3 runs like shit my man, but it also runs even worse on the xbone.

>>322386254
The problem is that the PS1 had a custom-made sound processor capable of many special effects not found - and not available - in MIDI synthesizers. Furthermore, unlike a MIDI synthesizer, each sample on the PS1 could be specially tuned for each song or particular effects. Or chained together to be the lyrics of a song.

>>322387620
I thought the PS1 used a Sony sound processor, descended from the one used in the SNES (also made by Sony). Yamaha's equipment was mostly for PCs at that time, and FM synthesis on the Mega Drive beforehand.
>>

>back in 2008 GTA4 was one of best games of that time
I'm having trouble remembering what I was playing back then instead, but I can't accept that statement.

>Dark Souls above Batman and fucking Saints Row 2

Wasn't the only problem with DS the fixed resolution? Half of the other games on the list are fucking unplayable.

The PC port was simply made to run on computers from the future. It works perfectly fine with graphical mods at 4k on my PC full of hardware from a few years ago.

Fuck Japan. They should be nuked again, they're reaching Ubisoft levels of shittiness. They're fucking outpacing Call of Duty, which is made by two/three different studios each time, while Senran Kagura and shit like that are made BY THE SAME STUDIO WITHIN MONTHS.

The game on Mouse/Keyboard is ET levels of bad

thanks for buying $560 games, consolefaggots.

>who wants to do that, the game should just work
A lot of people actually, seeing as Dark Souls still sold extremely well on PC
>>
>>322388160
Fallout 3 (bethesda shit), MGS4 (a movie), Saints Row 2 (more varied but less consistent game), Spore (a disappointment), World at War (last great WW2 shooter), Mirror's Edge (innovative platformer) etc.

GTA4 trumps them all in my opinion.

>>322386347
Because they focus on quantity of videos. Not quality.

Saint's Row 2 is the worst PC port I ever played.

Worse than vanilla verisons of Dark Souls, New Vegas and GTA IV.
>>
>>322387889
>back in 2008 GTA4 was one of best games of that time
People have always been massively split on GTA4, even back in 2008.
>>
No onimusha 3 or an explanation why dmc3se was bad. Also dark souls was perfectly playable at launch much better than sr2 was

This is Mega Man on DOS.

Agree with all of them except Evil Within

It ran at like 20fps on PS4/Xbone at Sub-HD, PC version from day one you could easily turn off the 30fps cap & letterboxing

also Spiderman 2 PC was it's own game, not a port, people wish we got a port though

No. I remember being on the hype train for GTAIV and thinking the Saints Row 2 fags were out of their minds for thinking SR2 would be better. Then they came out and SR2 outshined GTAIV in every manner but graphics and GTAIV felt gutted compared to San Andreas.

What a fucking disappointment.

GTA4 did have TECHNOLOGY, but graphics were bleh

Well, I never said anything about raw graphical quality, but by 2008 open world standarts GTA4 was great looking. In fact, please name a better looking open world game of that year. GTA4 had one of if not the best open world graphics until probably either Sleeping Dogs or Saints Row 3.

And no, Crysis was not a open world sandbox.

You can get past it, but the rest of the game is just as low quality, it's better if you just stop there.
