Avalanche never released a patch to improve the framerate on the console versions of JC3 like they said they would, so screw them.

JamesBroski2849d ago

Yea, and the PC version is not better either. No triple buffering, so when the fps drops to 59, it locks to 30. And the game is so poorly optimized, even on PC, that it constantly drops below 30fps.

nevin12849d ago

So just cause 3 sucks?

JamesBroski2849d ago (Edited 2849d ago )

@nevin1
I didn't try the console version, but the PC version isn't really well optimized. But like every unoptimized games, if you have a high-end PC, you will not really run into a lot of issues and it will be playable.

I don't think it's a bad game per se, but devs have been really dicky with the community. On Steam, they promised optimization patches to fix the problems, but it never came. They actually stop patching the game after christmas and completely stopped answering the community. The only patch we get now is for the DLC support. This is unacceptable, especially when you look at devs like CDPR that, more than a year after the release of The Witcher 3, are still patching the game and trying to make it better and better.

I loved Just Cause 2 and Mad Max and had respect for the devs, but that game made me lost all respect for them and Square Enix (they're the publishers so they should ensure quality of the products with their name on it and not rush releases).

@ JameBroski

Wow, it sounds like its even worst on the PC. I cant stand those kinds of swings in framerate. And how a PC cannot support triple buffering is beyond me.

@nevin1

The game itself is not bad and its fun but im just disappointed by the fact that they said they would improve the framerate and never did.

Street Fighter 5: Analysing a Tarnished Legacy

Street Fighter 5 launched in 2016, and is widely considered a misstep for the hugely popular franchise. This article explains why that is.

Terry_B129d ago

Every Street Fighter is called a misstep of the series since Street Fighter III..and even the Alpha games were not liked by everyone.

SF V had a miserable start but later it did a lot things actually better than SFIV and SF6.

SF6 is the first SF since SFII Turbo for that I did not buy at launch. And today, around 6 months after its launch I still have no motivation to buy it.

kevco33127d ago

I've had every Street Fighter on launch since SFII on the SNES. SFV is definitely my least played of them all.

SF6 is very good. You should give it a second look.

Terry_B127d ago

Maybe in 2-3 years when there is a version that has characters I care for.

So far there is not one of the new characters I like..and my favourite 4 are not a part of it either. (Bison, Balrog, Sagat and Vega) + the whole hip hop style and the crappy music turned me totally off.

Looking forward a lot to Tekken 8.

Sano24127d ago

SF4 vanilla was loved by most and and not considered a misstep. It wasn't until they went revision crazy that people started turning on Capcom.

Terry_B127d ago

Don't remember the criticques it got for the big hands and feet, the sometimes weird looking faces, the lame boss (Seth) and that so many characters were shotos and yup..the many new versions. Just every SF got its haters no matter how good it was.

Nerdmaster127d ago

It was criticized for the first trailers having an interesting art style with those ink splashes, but the real game had none of that and people felt cheated. And Capcom decided to add some of those effects in the game later because of the backlash. But I don't remember any other big complaints about it.

EvertonFC127d ago

I grew out of fighting games, loved them as a kid but online you just get your ass kicked over and over leaving just the bare bones single player and also having no friends anymore who like fighting games either just makes me not want to buy or play them anymore.

CrimsonWing69127d ago

I dunno, I like Street Fighter 5 quite a bit. 🤷‍♂️

Shiro173127d ago

Sf6 is the best sf since sf4ae lol

Now we'll have to see how much the Master Collection will add to those numbers.

Number1TailzFan186d ago

Too bad it was a lazy release. They could've updated the visuals and everything. Missed opportunity.

Stanjara186d ago

...and yet, they couldn't give more respect and effort into the collection.
What a terrible company.

Minute Man 721186d ago (Edited 186d ago )

Are they counting every game?

Edit: they did

Nyxus186d ago

Yes, these are total lifetime sales of the entire series.

ApocalypseShadow186d ago

.... mostly with the help of PlayStation.

Michiel1989186d ago

Get that Sony tramp stamp while you're at it. No one asked
