Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is the definition of what is wrong with current triple-A PC games

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is the definition of what is wrong with current PC games. It has performance and optimization issues, DRM issues, launcher issues, and all other sorts of issues.

AAA PC games are usually good after the community has fiddled with it for a year. It must suck for reviewers. If they're honest, they run the risk on not getting free codes and they can't be trusted if they gloss over stuff.

PC reviewers normally review games on high-end PC hardware so their experience is generally better then that of the average gamer, they also often get review copies and that clouds their judgment IMO.

I watched Skillup’s review…..ouch.

[anast]

Skill-up is okay. But yeah, the game is typical EA.

[kingnick]

Can't trust the big reviewers any more and I watched Skillup's coverage too.

release broken games first
issue patches later

The only way when they are going to fix this issue is when the government is going to take this problem seriously. No other product on the market can be sold when it's not complete or fully functional, yet for some reason games are getting overlooked. Let that sink in for a minute. It's crazy.

And your propose solution is "go pirate it if you can" ?

Yeah, that will surely show them whose boss, right?/s

I wish I did have the cash to fork out for a high powered PC rig, but with this and other similar stories, it just puts me right off it.

Last thing I want to do with a new game is spend hours tweaking settings to try to get the best out of an already shoddy port.
Saying that, it would be disingenuous of me to imply that all console releases are perfect on day 1, but currently it does seem that PC versions are getting the rough end of the stick at the moment.
My humble opinion, too much different hardware out there for PC, meaning a dev studio will never be able to please everyone unless it's a basic game (like most Indies).

Why is PC a problem? It's the most scalable unconstrained platform out there. This isn't about PC this is about releasing it too early to meet deadlines.

[Flawlessmic]

That his point lol

Theres whole bunch of configurations devs need to consider on pc to ensure a game runs well so requires extra effort than it would to get it optimised for consoles.

At this rate pc versions should be delayed, until properly optimised, no reason to hold the console version back and also unacceptable to release early and give pc players unplayable games.

[XbladeTeddy]

@Flawlessmic: Granted but when a 4090 is getting problems running this with the insane power that has there's something not right. It's a lack of effort I'm seeing through testing. EA have the budget to be thorough but they didn't.

[badz149]

they were not even bothered to update the Crysis remasters to take advantage of the multi-core CPUs of today and just released it in its unoptimized state too and let's not start talking about BF2042! seems like optimization is missing from EA's game-making guidelines for their devs!
