PC gamers are getting fed up with one shitty port after another

While the PC ports are stuttery in the beginning, it’s still not as hard as many think. The best way to play games is to use optimized settings on PC, which often are PS5 settings. Then you just crank up resolution and refresh rate, and add one or two extra effects that do not create stutters or what not. It takes one youtube video to check the settings. You just have to be okay with what you choose and leave it there till the next patch comes. Then you check another trusted youtube video and make small changes and off you go again.

I think the misconseption about and amongst PC gamers is that because you buy a beefy GPU you can just crank up everything to max and if it doesn’t work, it’s the “developers’ lack of optimization”. Maybe sometimes it is, but they have always optimized their games to consoles first, so using those settings makes most sense in the beginning.

The other way to look at it is that while the PC games are released at the same time, just give it 6-12 months and think “okay now it’s been really released” when the games have received multiple patches.

There are exceptions as well where the PC version is better from the get go. I mean look at Elden Ring for example, the best seller of the last 12 months, and it is still a stuttery mess on PS5. It actually works much better on PC now, albeit is not perfect, and you can have unlocked FPS with a simple mod.

I own a PC and plethora of home/handheld consoles (probably 8 or so at least, so plenty of legacy stuff as well.)
