56% Positive Reviews. Among commonly cited issues are crashes, freezes, audio problems, and visual bugs.

Even the bootleg version seems more stable.

Damn and a Nixxes port too. Sony's PC strategy is just weird. Why not just wait a few months and have a proper launch.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Probably why it got zero mentioning from Sony.

Weird, why do they not just delay it

 

[Schmendrick]

edit: wait...Nixxes did this???? What happened? Time issues?

I swear, sometimes a random intern can come up with a better strategy than some of industry execs.

 

[adamsapple]

Nixxess, known for making great ports, starts making shit PC ports after being acquired by Sony.

 

[OverHeat]

Yep freezing galore…have to reset my PC since it freeze my system

What other shit ports have they made?

 

[RagnarokIV]

And that's before they even get to the woke stuff!

 

[squidilix]

2 shit port in less 2 week.

Still funny

Nah, only 1. FF VII Rebirth is okay. Not good though, but not awful.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I'm guessing it was a rush job. Sounds a lot like how their TLOU port was at first, I know folks weren't happy, but I think they corrected all the big issues rather quickly.

 

[Guardian Monkey]

Its just strange. They have come around to monetize on PC, a lot of games end up working out eventually. But the whole rush out fix later thing is baffling. The game is almost a couple years old, it wasn't a concurrent launch with console, so why not make it worthy as a rebuy or first time purchase while the price is the highest at launch.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Probably, the day and date on the PC would increase the quality of the ports.

i mean they have the data. But it seems these ports aren't making that much money

Yeah, this is disappointing. Consistency is a problem. How do you go from HZD: Remastered to this?

Did you forget that Xbox games are day and date?

 

[Skifi28]

I'd wait for a more thorough analysis than steam reviews, but yikes. Who's porting the last of us 2? Seems like things are getting worse instead of better.

 

[od-chan]

There was a leaked build that the community patched up to work on PC, right? It'd be hilarious if that one is actually on par in terms of quality.

 

[Certinty]

Same quality as the actual game itself then.

 

[adamsapple]

Hell, the last one won Best Graphics from both Digital Foundry and NXGamer.

 

[EN250]

PCMR should just hold off and wait for a sale, game is trash compared to the first game anyway, don't worth the full price at all

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Weird, why do they not just delay it

Maybe date is set in stone due to licensing deal with Disney, dunno.

HZD and TLoU came out hot too but were fixed relatively quickly. But yeah, strange nonetheless.

 

[Mattyp]

Won't play it but they should have just delayed it, anyone waiting at this point would have kept waiting no need rush it out door by a promised date like it's a launch title.

 

[Zathalus]

Having a small studio like Nixxes release 4 PC ports and an entire remaster on top of that in the span of about a year is probably not the best idea.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Probably looking to get quarterly revenue before it was too late.

Similar to how Until Dawn probably would have been okay if they delayed it a month, but they didn't want to miss out on spooky month sales.

The weird thing here is that they had so long presumably to do this port. Wonder if they're stretched too thin with this, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon Zero Dawn, and TLOUP2.

 

[viveks86]

I'm tired of everyone trying to do everything and failing. Should we just burn everything and start over with the basics? Just write a better constitution that isn't riddled with loopholes that are misinterpreted for hundreds of yea...

Oh sorry got carried away. Fffffuck!

 

[Denton]

Did they publish old build by mistake? This is uncharacteristic of Nixxes.

Big strike against Hermen here. I feel as though he's struggling to get things out in a timely manner meanwhile he's rushing out product before its ready. Short minded thinking that doesn't take into consideration brand and reputation.

I generally defend him, but it's getting difficult to do so.

Had forgotten they recently released Horizon Remastered. Yeah, someone else should have been put in charge of this project. GOWR, GOT, HZD Remastered, and Spider-Man 2 all within 9 months is a lot of work.

 

[HogIsland]

I played through the first big sequence and it seemed good.

 

[ProtoByte]

I keep having to argue with people that this shit costs time and resources. Despite the relatively slow pace they're working at, not even Nixxes can keep up.

 

[Puscifer]

Vick GET ITT!

Jetpack did Ragnarok. Sony should just buy them too. I didn't play Ragnarok but GoW2018 was an excellent port and even runs well on Steam Deck.

 

[lh032]

this proves that ps5 punching above its weight, fuck yea

You're right. Nixxes did Forbidden West earlier in 2024.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Just brute force it

 

[OverHeat]

[BigBeauford]

Not to mention it's barely hit 18k on release day. Yikes-a-roni.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Better than IJ and this is a late port on a Thursday with no marketing

 

[adamsapple]

Someone do a comparison with the leaked fan- compiled build and see which runs better.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Not to mention it's barely hit 18k on release day. Yikes-a-roni.

Woke slop that most people say is a downgrade from the first. I liked the first a lot and have zero desire to play this lol.

 

[nani17]

Wait a second how in God's name did people who got the leaked unfinished version sometime last year do a better job than a professional Dev team.

 

[lmimmfn]

Not to mention it's barely hit 18k on release day. Yikes-a-roni.

The PC world is not interested in a woke fest game

 

[Gaiff]

Usually peaks on weekends, but those reviews ain't doing it any favors.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Almost seems like they were considering delaying this until the last second. Then they pulled the PSN requirement and opened preorders 5 mins before the game released. Something weird happened for sure.

You're seeing what you want to see

Sure but I mean it's one of the most popular superheroes in the world, with an ad on the top of at least my storefront, which is accessed by roughly 30M people. Not great.
