What AAA games have launched with zero technical/performance issues in recent memory?

The framerate suffered a lot the more companions you had with you and during the most hectic combat scenarios with explosions, a lot of ragdoll, fire etc.(You know, when a stable framerate is the most needed).
If you barely used explosive arrows, always had only 1companion with you, and avoid most of the hardest combat scenarios then it was...fine, definitely not locked, but i have pc sensibility for framerate so i probably notice more than switch\console only players (not a brag, it's just how it is when you play with locked framerate 99% of games).
I had to actively only bring one or 2 companions top instead of all 4 because the framerate wasn't acceptable enough.
It was a technical marvel (at least the physics part, the game is kinda ugly graphically, let's be real) but nintendo chose to go the gimmicky way with their consoles instead of making a powerful home console so it's their fault if the game doesn't run flawlessly, just cause 4 has a huge amount of physics and destruction (probably more than zelda but with not as much elements like fire or water interacting with each others) and people weren't gentle with it when it was not running good on consoles, nintendo doesn't get a pass just because.

I thought nowadays, we define AAA games by budget. No way that game had even a 10th of the budget most big games now have.

I encountered the audio bug on day one but they fixed that pretty quickly in fairness.
Never encountered the controller issues though as I now use a dualsense for all of my PC gaming, so I guess that's why. It's most likely how they tested it as well.

I had problems while using the dual sense aswell, just less common, so it was very random, like the controller compatibility with stalker 2, some people get it to work, some people don't.
The beauty of pc gaming
When using a dualsense on games with native support just disable steam input. You can do it for each game specifically in the properties or you can do it in the Steam global settings (the latter will require you to remember to turn it back on when you want to play a game that doesn't support it).
Just check on this list, if the game is there you're good to disable steam input:

Loads have not that I worry about a game with a bug it in or games that have the odd frame rate dip.
I grew up in the era when people weren't pussy's or the bloody social media crybabies.
The era of when you just hoped your ZX Spectrum game would load, the era of when no one gave a toss about the appalling frame rate of Zelda 64, Golden Eye 64, Star Fox Snes, Super Ghouls N Ghosts Snes, Daytona USA Saturn, Shadow Of The Colossus PS2.
Thank Christ we didn't have Digital Foundry in those days far from classics they're all be branded as unplayable

I don't use the dual sense at all unless i'm forced to do so, my other controllers works fine 99,99% of the times, but thanks anyway.When using a dualsense on games with native support just disable steam input.

(Btw i disabled steam input while using the dual sense with horizon and the problem was still there, just random, even the devs said that disabling steam input wasn't a final solution, they still listed the problem in the patch notes even after 2-3 patches).

Yeah, forgot about the companions.
I turned them all off apart from the bird dude for the boost. The rest were pointless and got in the way.

That would be stellar blade
Atlus very rarely patches their games, only if there are really serious problems. But if you take their last games, everything was relatively stable

Atlus sells their patches for $70.
I'll correct you a little, they like to make DLC for $10-20, but then sell it for $70 in a bundle with the main game, that would be more accurate =)))

Stellar Blade, smt v vengeance, infinite wealth, reload, relink, visions of mana, silent hill 2, astrobot beside others mentioned, probably more im forgetting
play more games bud

Stellar blade is a very small game compared to veilguard, the bigger the game the harder is to make it with virtually no problems.
I think veilguard still take the cake given the size of the game (and taash fake dick)

There were definitely performance issues, especially when using ultrahand, but BOTW/TOTK were basically the first virtually bug free open world games ever made and that should be acknowledged.
GymWolf

No they weren't, sony open worlds are usually ultra polished and some of them were released before botw or at the same time.

Returnal?
GymWolf

I was pointing that out because if you don't play on ultra hard, you have a bit of autoaim with horizon.But... but... that is how every game of that "type" should be.
I disable autoaim when i can but not every game let you do that.
Also, horizon on ultra hard is tough as nails, it's not your average tps, forbidden west even more than zero dawn.

Didn't they had to fix the 8 frames of lag on PlayStation version??

Strangely enough, i think selene was straight.
Also, it can't be returnal, that game was losing 20-30 frames during the most hectic moments, hardly perfect.
It also had a big bug that let you cheat the game to make it easy.

Tell me you haven't played the game without telling me you haven't played the game.

Many Nintendo Switch games have no patch years after initial release, already perfect on 1.0
