The Witcher 3 wins for me, but should have also mentioned: Undertale, Axiom Verge, Life is Strange, GTA V (PC version came out this year), Pillars of Eternity, Dirt Rally, Hotline Miami 2, The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth, and maybe a few more I've forgotten.
@amdreallyfast: It'll just mean a 7/6th performance increase in situations that are CPU bottlenecked & threaded i.e. AI/Physics heavy games. Otherwise, in most situations you're still generally bottlenecked by the GPU, so it'll make the gameplay smoother if it couldn't handle whatever FPS the lock is set at (i.e. less lower range variance), but not any faster. So I'd say 1-3 fps is what you're talking about. Or like changing one graphics setting from medium to high for the same fps or even -1 fps.
@nomadsalt: ... or a murderous psychopath that has to endlessly rescue people that keep getting kidnapped by ghouls that live 3 mountains away that somehow defeated 100 defense worth of turrets to smuggle them out.
@Frozzik: It's because PC consumers actually know what they are meant to get out of games and console idiots don't realise they are being sold a pile of junky old hardware incapable of doing much beyond frying an egg and appearing in drop test youtube videos. Have you ever seen a drop test video for a PC graphics card? No. Because it's a pointless exercise. Wait I had to google that and one exists! BAHAHAHAAHAHAH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k89vnkuQM3k no one should accept poor performance on consoles, but it's just a failing on the devs part to downgrade the visuals to achieve the desired performance. But because console gamers want sparkly shiny visuals equivalent to PCs then they lose out on performance and are already struggling to hit 30fps, so when an open world game comes along and starts hogging resources. Gamebryo/Creation loves to have an SSD and a really powerful GPU, bumping up the .ini stats for better view distance than default settings is basically first thing you do on PC and yeah it drags your frames from 120 fps down to like 60-70 odd, but I prefer it over the pop-in of the current generation of under powered consoles vs. game engines.
