I learned an important lesson from the recent steam sale.

Some games are just crappy console port, even at $5 that are not worth it.

I got a bunch of games from the sale and a few of them ran like absolute crap, I regret buying them. I am using the original Crysis and Crysis 2 as standard because my PC can run them at max setting and the FPS never gets below 60.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 w/ Vietnam pack

The single player campaign runs perfectly fine, I never get below 60FPS on the max setting but the multiplayer suck donkey balls. Even if I set the settings to low and reduce the res the game is choppy as hell, the fps will drop to below 20 some time it's unplayable. The Vietnam expansion runs a little better but still crap. I played this on the PS3 and it's very stable at 30FPS no matter how many people or action is on the screen...

Grand Theft Auto IV

Setting the res and detail level doesn't change the FPS at all! This POS pisses me off. I had to spent 2 hours reading forums and downloading custom patch to fix it. Now I finally got the game to run stable at high setting and getting 45-50 FPS. It just pisses me off that the game doesn't work right out of the box. The liberty city episode runs a little smoother but still require tons of hotfix and custom patch.

Assassin's Creed II

runs choppy and the control sucks unless you are using a Xbox 360 controller otherwise the game is frustrating.

The worst part? Games for windows live. This POS suck so much it made me rage. **** you Microsoft and your ****ty service! If I don't connect to the internet, it won't let me save the game. So I tried to login and it forced me to update to the latest live version but the update failed and won't let me update, and it won't let me save the game and it ****ing send me warnings every few minutes. The faq and help page is useless. So basically I paid for a game but I can't play it because of games for windows live. Seriously? Now I understand why people pirate games. Just to avoid this kind of bullsh**

I could agree in some respects but bad company 2 is a console port? Lolling so much on that one...

Ps... my fps never drops before 50 fps at the worst battles (lots of explosions etc) on bad company 2. Uusually sits at 88fps..

I dont own battlefield one but i do Have the rest and they run perfect on my 4yr old computer with Vista. I run all games at max settings.

Ouch man, flaming Bad Company 2 is not cool, you can flame much but this game! NEVER! Playing this game on medium-high with no problems and I got no super pc either. Sorry.

I don't know about you guys but console games on PC always seem to have a delay between mouse movements and what I see on the screen. Not all games do this to me. The Call of Duty series responds very fast even if I am getting lower FPS than games with big delays. Anyone else experience this?

If you think any three of those games are crappy console ports, you are wrong. Bad Company 2 is a perfect example of a multiplatform title, not a port, and Assassin's Creed II does not use Live, it uses the crappy Ubisoft one, but you should have known that going in (the rest of us did). THe controls take some getting used to, but the keyboard and mouse work perfectly for it.

Stop raging, you have absolutely no grounds for it...you got three awesome games for an incredibly inexpensive price. I suggest you get over what minor faults you think they have and start enjoying them.

The Batman game, that's how you do a proper PC version, not AC2. Brotherhood was a bit better.

Ans yes this POS runs Crysis on max and mantain a 60+ FPS.

You can upgrade cheap also to a i 7 for about 600 like i did doesnt cost much to upgrade..

Yup. Most PC games are not true PC games, majority are console and gamepad designed which sucks. In essence, a console port.

Just be happy you didn't spend full retail price on them.

yeah PC gaming is all about choice...but not when i have to choose between the worst movement control scheme/device known to human race "the xbox 360 controller" and the second worst "the ps3 controller"...I dont want to choose between "crap" and "vomit"...

BFBC2 isnt bad at all.....what are your specs? Plus, i run GTA 4 buttery smooth and i dont have "top of the line" specs either.kris9031998

this, and BFBC2 runs great for me, love that game

[QUOTE="the_ChEeSe_mAn2"][QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] Bad Company 2 IS a console port though :PGeneralShowzer

So a console port is a game whose series was on console and then moved to pc? HUH? What does the series itself have anything to do with bad company 2 itself being a port over from a console? I always believed a console port is a game first made or developed onto the console platform then moved over to the pc. Games such as Assasins creed, the force unleased games, Saints row 2 etc etc would fall under console ports.. Bad company 2 who had its own special PC development, I would say is definitely not a console port lol..

Dude is used to run Cysis with two 6970s on xfire and my FPS dipped below the 60s . Trust me you are not running Crysis as you say you are. Use fraps and post back.

2x6870's is a pos? lul.

bc2 runs fine for me . u might need to update ur drivers

I wrote a great blog on "consolization." You should read it!

How about updating your drivers once in a while? Formatting the machine a couple times a year?

Man, people today sure are spoiled. With a minimum amount of work you can get almost any game to run flawlessly even on a 4 year old machine. Back in my day, we had to work some serious computer magic to get things to run acceptably even on high end machines.

Assassin's creed is way better on the pc. I borrowed them from a buddy for xbox when they first came out, an it was worth buying them for the pc.

Bad Company 2 HATES Dual-Cores. I only recommend the game to people who have Quad Cores. It is still fun and I do play it often, but I have to play on low and still the FPS sucks. If it were any other game I would have uninstalled it by now.

Grab a Core 2 Quad. GTA4 and BC2 recommend Quads, even fast dual cores choke running those games
