Worst PC port you have ever played?

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"][QUOTE="topgunmv"]

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

Must be something to do with your PC.

I played it my 8800GTX (so DirectX9 or 10?) with all settings maxed and never had an issue.... ran perfect.

I never had a problem running GTA4, the only thing is that ground textures flicker occasionally, turning the road into one big smooth grey texture. Only see it for a second but it happens fairly often, mainly when on foot. Splinter Cell Double Agent stuffed up my laptop's dvd drive for some reason, must have been the DRM. So I never bothered installing it on my desktop PC when I got it. Luckily I got the game cheap. Assassin's Creed 1 had a crappy menu system. Assassin's Creed 2 improved on that but they messed up the controls. Well, the controls are fine, it's just that when they tell you what button to press to perform an action, they show a little symbol that represents the action and not the actual key you have to press. It's the stupidest thing I've ever seen and is quite frustrating to have to go into the controls menu each time to see what key the symbol corresponds to.Twisted14

I TOTALLY agree with you on AC2, the controls are so stupid (symbols) that I stopped playing.

I've always wondered how the hell DRM can stuff up a DVD Drive...

either GTA IV or Farcry 2 both were badly optimized and had a lot of bugs and crashes.zahyr

Really?

FarCry2 ran amazingly smooth for my old video card and the quality of the graphics...

Yeah, Farcry 2 was a crappy game, not a crappy port

yeah gta IV on launch was pretty damn bad. Right now i think it runs great and now its plenty playable. I'll probably hand worse port to Star Wars:Force Unleashed. Didn't they only take up 20 gigs of space just because they had some files in different languages or something? I don't remember distinctly what it is but i do remember it being very lazy and unreasonable.

Saints Row2

it is hard to say , good game :WoW DNF !!

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.

Share the crappy port games you have play!

There is NO QUESTION about it...

Splinter Cell: Double Agent

/topic

HA! The problems that conviction had PALE in comparison to Double Agent...

[QUOTE="the_ChEeSe_mAn2"]A lot of the ports everyone mentioned thus far ran fine for me... Except for Saints Row 2 and Resident Evil 4. The first one ran worse than GTA IV at release and RE4...too many things to list.Phelaidar

I remember suffering through that entire game to reach the end. When I disabled the bomb, the ending cutscene did not play at all. It was at that point were I officially decided that Double Agent was the worst game I have ever played.

Another vote for Saints Row 2.

[QUOTE="Phelaidar"] Impossible "Double Agent" ran fine... it's missing files from the disc! I mean, even if you did get to play it, you did not get the play it completely.dos4gw82

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

Deus Ex: Invisible War :Pnutcrackr

blacksite area 51 and the last turok...horrible

[QUOTE="dakan45"][QUOTE="FelipeInside"] Was that only in DX10? I played the whole game in DX9 and it worked fine....FelipeInside

dead space and resident evil 4 aren't crappy ports, they're just not finished. evildead6789

that's just... i mean... i just don't have words.

dead space and resident evil 4 aren't crappy ports, they're just not finished. RE4 is great when you install the mouse aim patch, runs better than on consoles, dead space you have disable vsync and force vsync on 60 hz with rivatuner. I don't know about the other though haven't tried it yet but 'JUST GOOGLE IT' , otherwise you shouldn't be playing pc gamesevildead6789

The Force Unleashed - They made the port so bad so their original statement of 'needing a 3000 dollar PC to play the game' would be true

Saints Row 2 - Ran like crap eventhough it looked like crap but I still kept playing it because the game was so much fun. I remember they postponed the PC version so they could spend more time on porting... where did that time go ?

Still have absolutely no idea why people say dead space was a bad port..it ran well, and once you turned off vsync (which I've never been a fan of) there's no mouse lag

I downloaded the Dynasty Warriors 6 demo for lulz, and was unsurpised to see how horrendous of a port it was. The game had the framerate of a Windows Powerpoint presentation.
