Worst PC port you have ever played?

Heres mine:

Resident Evil 4

Dead Space

Saint's Row 2

GTAIV

Bioshock

I found with bioshock is was really hard to navigate through your god damn weapons.

Those are some crappy ports to PC.

Why do people call GTA IV a bad port? It controls better on PC, it runs better on PC, it looks better on PC. Have you played the console version? The game is a blob, you can't even spot shapes. Not to mention it dips below 20 fps sometimes.GeneralShowzer

I think the fact that it didn't support ATI (now AMD) cards in the beginning and it needed a quadcore CPU to run decently made people call it a bad port.

Now that you mention it I remember that many had this problems. Glad I didn't.

It runs perfectly fine on my secondary rig (in sig) which is a dual core.. even before the patches were releasedSPBoss

Looks like 3.9 GHz might be enough ;)

I used to run the game at 3 GHz with a Core2Duo and didn't manage to always get over 30 fps even with the lowest settings. Getting a Core2Quad helped a lot.

Whats so bad about the SR2 port? it pales in comparison to GTA IV or TFU (shivers)

Correct!

I still can't get the game to run at a decent frame rate.

You beat me to it. By far, the worst port I have ever played.

The game was actually broken for me for the longest time. There was a control panel I had to use to complete the first mission, but I was unable to reach it because I kept falling through the floor in front of it. Had to wait for the patch for that one.

On top of that, the game had horrid performance issues, looked worse than the Console version, and it only had a few small resolutions to choose from (none of which fit my then 16:10 monitor). Much of the story didn't make sense due to missing in-game exposition and/or cutscenes. Random bugs everywhere. Self-corrupting save game files.

Worst. Game. Ever. For those who need further proof, click here.

I picked up DMC3 because my PS2 died on me, its actually a worse port than RE4 :cry:.

Performance wise it was GTA IV on launch, its a lot better now though.

Halo 2. It's basically like running a legal emulated rom of the xbox version. I had to turn Vsync on because the framerate was too high - this led to severe issues (input from the mouse and keyboard were very slow). It was literally the xbox version, but it felt worse because of the higher resolution but retained the xbox graphics, and it was obviously built for a controller and not mouse and keyboard. This was supposed to be a game to sell Vista, rofl.

legacy of cain soulreaver

were the worst ports i ever played.the res maxed out at 640x480 or mabe it was 800x600 but in any case they looked like crap on pc and were pretty much unplayable if you didnt have a game pad.ps1 games didnt translate well to pc at all

GTA4 by far, I can run Crysis on maximum settings with no lag but when it comes to GTA4 It stutters to the point of being unplayable.

Yep, when you get high enough in the game world (like on the skydiving mission in BoGT) the textures are entirely messed up. Awful port, still a great game though.

GTA IV. Also TFU.

Red Faction Guerrilla. I have to force dx9 mode because in dx 10 the framerate drops to like 4 for a moment every few seconds.

For me its gears of war. Too many things to say so - complete trash.

GTA 4 was the worst by far I can't even play it to this day without horrible lag its simpily unplayable.

Call of duty black ops. True story...

Resident Evil 4. Tragic.

What's wrong with the AvP port?

What's wrong with the AvP port?

GTA IV (at release....it's fixed now...took a while though)

but I think, in my experience, Force Unleashed takes the cake and eats it too. The game takes up 35gb for a 6hr singeplayer only game. Framerates were single digit, then the patch that fixed the framerates was 2gb and increased the install folder size by 5gb.....wat?

Weird. I've been playing the marine campaign with all the settings maxed out and it hasn't happened for me yet.

mine would have to be

Juiced 2 HIN

NFS Undercover

And GTA SA

All lag incredibly and the more you upgrade the comp the worse it gets :O

[QUOTE="dakan45"] This: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_S9JuXRLIU I still cant figure out how they messed up so badly. Something triggers it for some people on the highest texture quality settings.FelipeInside

I've been playing it in dx11.

GTA IV hands down

Devil May Cry 3 or Resident Evil 4. both because of the controls...

GTA IV had a sucky performance.
