Not sure how the fuck a game can score so high with bullshit like this. Wtf reviewers?????
Because people don't notice, or just consider it a one off instance / not enough to be something catastrophic?

Skyrim PS3 took a 60+ hour save to hit it's 0fps. This is bad right from the start.
You guys using 50 posts per page perplex me.
Eurogamer's review was based off the xb1 version

Y'all are overestimating how much the minor dips for the PS4 version factor into an experience for many people and even how much the stuttering on Xbox affects some people's perceptions. We've loved Bethesda games always despite their tech. Not everyone is sensitive to it, as we know from similar releases in the past.

So is the PS4 version the best bethesda openworld consolegame so far, or how does it compare to lastgen 360 versions?
The performance difference it's not what it should be between Xbone and PS4 considering both consoles are running on the same settings. It's obvious this was an Xbone first developed game.

Doubt it. This is Bethesda. I stopped giving them money after Morrowind.How can Bethesda get away with this? They must have an performance patch on the way, right?

PC version it is then....
Of course its a trend the i3 CPU runs laps around the CPU in console, this shouldn't surprise anyone. It will always be the case, but for some odd reason people make the comparison.

some people I asked only reviewed it on PS4 so they had a pretty smooth experience.

I mean, shit, not that you're not right (shit like that is the bane of my existence), but do you think that it's right for people to consider it a free pass for Bethesda when reviews purportedly enjoyed the game enough to rate them highly for their other aspects, despite these flaws? I could go one way or another there, because I'm totally familiar with the feeling of buying a highly rated Bethesda game only to eventually find out that it's got less going for it than I would have liked.

I think it has nothing to do with resolution. When it drops to 0 it must be because the engine is loading something and all the operations are stopped until the section is loaded.
Maybe it's just so much fun? /jk
Probably not gonna get the game tomorrow. Don't feel like wasting money on such a crappy job. Maybe in a few months if they get around to iron out the flaws.

Cant decide if i want to cancel my preorder or not. Wish DF would have released results with external drives at the same time.
With hitching so severe on the X1, really curious to see what an external drive would do. However, I don't necessarily want to be that guinea pig.

Yeah I built my little cousins PC with that GPU since he was on a budget. That thing handles anything I throw at it at high settings and 1080p30.

But you always seem to ignore the PC version in all these DF threads you post in and call PS4 the winner. Interesting.

Par for the course with Bethesda. Their output has never shown much care for performance or stability, especially on consoles. Not a great looking game either, just GameBryo / Creation bs.
For those saying they need to fix it, they don't. It will sell well. People will still say their next game won't suffer the same problems. It likely will, and it will sell well, too. Rinse, repeat. They have no incentive to change.
And definitely echo the 750 ti love. I don't use it but it's my go-to when constructing on a budget for a friend or family member. Great price/performance ratio.

MGSV happened in barren landscapes without any objects/lmid-res objects and textures. So there's that.

What settings are the 750ti running at? PC port sounds great!

What's wrong with 0 FPS?
I went to an art gallery this weekend and all of the art was presented at 0 FPS.
Are you not cultured, gaf?
...
Buying this for Xbox One because I don't care, but that's a bummer, hopefully they patch the serious glaring issues, otherwise drops from 30 FPS to 20s at momentary spots don't irk me much.

No big shockers here, but it is a bit funny because of all the people who seemed so positive that Bethesda would have dropped the ball on PS performance.
Seems like both versions need some patching, but in general it seems like they start off in a decent place performance-wise.

So a Bethesda game runs like shit on both consoles and is fine on PC. I'm shocked. Zero FPS is a new low though. People were really gloating over sub-30 FPS advantages of one console over another on the first page? Fuck. My gaming laptop is getting kind of old. I wonder if I should get this for PS4, which it would probably look better on, or my PC, which it would perform better on. I need to build a new PC asap.

Still sounds terrible on both platforms. Will be copping on PC :3

I can't even imagine the level of discourse at GameFAQs right now...
Highlighting the winner by default is not very interesting.

Glad to hear that the PC performance is good, have my copy pre-loaded and ready to go.
The X1 version, woof...though I suspect there is some sort of bug that is causing this so hopefully Bethesda says something about it soon.

Remember Polygons game review policy, they were going to score games differently based on performance? That was why they have scores for different platforms...At launch, they scored Call Of Duty Ghosts on PS4 lower than the Xbox One version because the PS4 had a less stable framerate...
What ever happened to that policy??

Interesting that of all developers, it was Bethesda that finally provided an answer to the question: can games be art?

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
people really need to stop using this argument. MGSV doesnt have half the shit most open world games have. MGSV is bare as fuck compared to witcher and fallout
