I Think I'm Quitting PC Gaming At This Point...

- Everytime some new AAA release comes out for a full $60, I constantly get reminded never to purchase or support it because it comes out limping rather than running on what used to be one of my favourite platforms. FF7 Remake should have been an amazing release on the PC and frankly it's been anything but, why? Let's find out! Thanks for watching!

Ah yes, "modern gaming":
>make a decent game
>put 30% of the game behind a paywall
>leave out 50% of content for future dlc
>don't playtest your game outside of the developer team
>postpone all bug fixes and rush them for a day-one patch that barely works
>blame customers for misinterpreting your game if the story sucks
>have early access available to your disfunctional game for 90 bucks
>file lawsuits against reviewers who say bad things about your game
>do it all over again next year

@@DIOslayer golden age of gaming
When borrowing a game was more common, but then there is the risk of your friend scratching the disc, and that’s an awkward conversation.
ikr
I do for switch. But since switching to pc…i miss ot
I've transitioned back to console gaming myself. I tried to remember why games used to be more fun as a kid, and it was partly because I was just a kid, but I was also totally immersed in the worlds on my GameCube. I didn't care about graphics or frame rate, didn't even know what that was. On PC I was constantly fiddling with settings to get the most out of my hardware possible, but on console, knowing that the graphics and frame rate are out of my control, I'm able to finally just enjoy the actual game again. I've been playing ghost of Tsushima on my PS4 pro and it's honestly just so nice.
Took the words right of my mouth.
I'm sick of seeing gamers nowadays worry so much about stupid shit like OH MAH FPS, OH MAH RAY TRACING.
Like jeez, in fact most times on PC, I spend my time asking around on the internet how to fix this or fix that because I bump into more problems than on console lmao, whereas for consoles when I go on the internet, it's to learn how to solve puzzles or what's the best build for my character.
Like man, games used to be played for FUN! Not about the graphics.
Everytime I play PC is just nothing but issues and issues, whereas consoles treat me well.
Don't even get me started on when you're a big gamer and gotta make multiple accounts because for some reason, every goddamn game needs to have its own launcher now.
Steam, EA launcher, Epic Games launcher, etc.
Then when you haven't played on a particular launcher in awhile, they will log you out and you will have to go through the annoying 2FA.
And my C and D drive randomly fills up for no reason.
Tldr: PC feels like a problem child constantly wanting attention needing to be fixed, whereas consoles feel like a perfect child.
@@Smiley0.1 on console as long as I get good frame rates that’s all I care about. I’ve played many games from indies to first party games. I’ve experienced awesome graphics to not so awesome shooter to racers to RPGs to sport games. I tried playing some PC games and I couldn’t help myself I spent more time messing with the settings because it was there on console it’s very limited but I asked myself on PC I’ll never play the game because I’ll be constantly messing with setting on console I enjoy the games more.
Literally i spend my time wasting on how to fix that error then playing actual game..
Like some high end games are running just fine on my pc but for some reason gta 5 such a low end game is lagging like crazy shit
I'm probably gonna shift to ps5 tbh
RIGHT ON. 2070 super Ryzen 7 3700x will be the absolute last PC components I ever bought for gaming. There’s a reason why devs will always prioritize consoles
Same. I bought a 4090 a year ago and 80% of modern games Ive played since then were stuttering like crazy. If not even high end hardware can make poorly optimized games run well enough, why even bother? Most of the time Ive been searching for solutions and modding games for days only to play them for a couple hours. Its not about your hardware, the fps and graphics its about having fun. Thats why especially Nintendo is so successful.
It isn't just PC, gaming in general has declined in quality and quantity of games over the last decade. I'm getting to the point where I'd rather be working than playing games.
I agree. I’ve been gaming since I could pick up a controller about 16 years ago, and it feels like 2012-2017 was my golden age for gaming. But I’ve never told myself I need to “stop gaming” more than I have in recent years. Fewer and fewer titles think outside the box, and the ones that do cater to a very niche community of people. When single player games became threatened in the last few years, thats when my decline for gaming as a whole started.
I disagree slightly. Yes I think AAA games have gone down the tube, but I think indie developers have come out on top and have shown us that people with much smaller teams and budget have more passion and skill than big budget developers.
@@Harvey2Tall Every indie game that is successful gets ruined by either feature/scope creep (Project Zomboid), abondonment by the devs because they got money already (Valheim), or bought out by a AAA and turned AAA (Minecraft)
Indie isn't gonna save us.
@@jellyfrosh9102 Rimworld
There are more games coming out now than ever before and in myriad more genres. But you're right that AAA gaming has dropped in quality (I don't know about quantity) and is just constantly recycling the same gameplay loops and trying to sucker you into spending more money than you already did to buy the broken game in the first place.
This is a major reason piracy is so appealing. Having that data physically on a drive along with a crack that guarantees it will work regardless of internet connection and updates is WAY FUCKING BETTER than legitimately buying the game and being forced to run a specific launcher, needing an internet connection for intrusive DRM, etc.
AAA gaming companies are literally monetizing inconvenience and terrible service.
What if somebody invented an AI that could patch ANY game, and it was actually good software with respectable people behind it? Just pirate any new game, then have the hypothetically perfect AI patch it.
If only.
@@goofyahdemoman1134 Yea, I hope he then ends up patching people so they're under his watchful eye and everything becomes perfect...
@@goofyahdemoman1134 if such an ai could be created the companies creating the games would still have more resources to craft an AI based deterrent for such a crack.
Ever heard of GOG?
I own maybe 10% of my library legally if they won't let me keep the rights to the property i buy might as well just take it from somewhere else that i can keep
The worst part about PC gaming isn't even the wildly inconsistent performance, it's the people who are 100% fine with that wildly inconsistent performance. You change nothing if you settle for mediocrity, if you are not honest about quality, you will continue to be sold shit.
The amount of people running damage control for Battlefield 2042 honestly upset me, "yeah it has all these issues, but I'm still having fun with it". Please, stop settling for dogshit products, you are helping no one, especially not the industry you love.
yeah. its like people dont have standards anymore
My close friend is one of those. He thinks his _Ryzen 7 3700x_ is "mediocre." No you just play shoddily optimized AAA titles and refuse to blame the likes of _Cyberpunk 2077_ for performing poorly.
LMFAO coming from a console baby who runs games at 30-60 FPS MAX at mid to low settings. Dont EVER talk about others settling for mediocrity if you game on console
@@buckbreaker5185 yes, you cannot talk about the quality of the product if you play a different product
flawless
@@stealthysaucepan2016 they have standards they're just lower than yours. Like I honestly could care less about what other people think about a game. If I enjoy it I enjoy it and I don't let others change my mind. Like for instance I enjoy Halo multiplayer but every time I go onto the Halo subreddit it's constant complaining about the store and I'm like I don't care I like having fun and the cosmetics don't really matter to me.
I've read this from a CrowbCat video and, as a gamer in his 30s, that hit me like a truck : Remember when we played those games from the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube era and we were like "wow imagine how games will be 10 to 15 years down the line"? Yea, here's where we are.
I usually just play mostly older games at this point. I’m an 03 kid but I just find games much more enjoyable in the 00s and 90s
Funnily enough I wanted games to keep like they were, in the GameCube and Wii era (yeah I used to be just Nintendo player) I never thought about graphics, it was all fun and it kept being that way until the PS3/360, although the DLCs, patches that fix otherwise broken games and paying for the online service started in that generation, it wasn't as bad as it is now...even though the development is supposed to be much easier now since everything is done on a PC. Even Nintendo now making you pay for inferior online and they don't gift any games unlike the other 2 platforms which give like 3 games monthly, and I'll never forget about them making you pay so much for poor/bad emulation of their old games.
It's not just them being dumb and making bigger games than they can afford to make, it's about creativity and passion, they lack it so much I'm never interested in AAA and almost always prefer indie games.
Bah, fuck CrowbCat

@@drstrangelove307 Well, I should have mentioned that what I quoted came from a CrowbCat's video's comment section, not from himself. But I wonder why you hate someone who proves their point using footage alone without saying a single word during their videos. I'm not a fanboy or whatever, just an honest doubt.
Honestly, this is how I feel about gaming nowadays. Between terrible ports, overpriced parts, egs exclusives, and microtransactions, I'm starting to look for new hobbies now, It's sad to say, but gaming isn't fun anymore.
look to the indie side, amazing games come out every once in a while that are mindblowingly good. I'm still in owe with Outer Wilds
not giving up on PC gaming, I still want to do race simulators competitively and unfortunately, only PC has iracing, ACC and Rfactor #
@@Void6- yeah 2021 was indicative of that. It Takes Two winning game of the year and all. AAA is going downhill due to corporate greed, studio crunch and ballooning budgets. Indies are definitely on the rise because they’re cheaper, generally more fulfilling and far more creative.
@@SaberRexZealot exactly, Ive been playing both indies and triple A for some good years by now and indies are always the ones that make your jaw drop. Triple A is always kinda the same stuff with a different coat of paint every year.
Indies are where the creative risks are at, exploration of graphics, music, mechanics and storytelling, its all there and some stuff is super interesting
P.c gaming is awesome though man. The indie games that are being constantly updated and supported are amazing and better than any AAA out right now. I'll give you a quick list. Bannerlord is an open world midieval strategy/combat game were you command 1000 man armies and fight shoulder to shoulder with your soldiers the combat is clean and commanding the armies is fun you can create your own kingdom or join another and its getting huge updates that add in new features every like 4 months. Kenshi is an open world top down survival RPG in a post apocalyptic alien world. I hate top down RPGs but something about kenshi's setting grabs me it might be that every character can lose limbs making combat tense or it might be the amazing base crafting or how the world interacts with you when you manage to kill a ruler but the best thing Kenshi does is make everything you do feel extremely rewarding you start out as a weakling nobody and stay that way for a long time so even being able to kill a bandit is a huge win.I didnt even mention how you can mod bith games and change a lot of the parts of the gameplay that you dont like both of these games have very active moding communitied. I could add more games but tbh your prob not even gonna read all this but dude p.c gaming is so amazing right now you just gotta look at what the amazing indie devs are doing right now and stop focusing on the corporate souless AAA scene.
Honestly, the indie scene is absolutely great on Steam and pc in general. I put 10 hours on SCP Secret Laboratory in 3 days, Crusader Kings isn’t quite indie but the amount of depth and strategy is great, plus the workshop just enhances that factor, People’s Playground is a fun, gore filled sandbox with creative mods. I haven’t touched a AAA game on pc for a year and I don’t really miss it.
Try RimWorld if you haven’t already. Thousands of hours into that game and never got bored.
factorio, hades, hollow knight, terraria... there are soo many great indie games out there. nowadays you miss the best of gaming if you focus on tripple a
I've easily logged almost 100 hours in Synthetik, and I only paid $5 for it.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Most of my favourite pc games are indie stuff that would play misserably on consoles. Stuff like Kerbal Space Program, Cities Skylines or Factorio just aren't the same without a mouse.
@@Noqtis God I still need to try Hades one of these days.
As an old gamer, I really miss the days when PC games were released finished, in a box, with collectible items. There was no patching, the games just worked. There were no hidden costs, no micro-transactions, and if there were skins they were free to download (remember Quake 3? Some awesome skins for that, and never cost a penny). Course, this was before the internet was all about corporations making money; it's like the whole internet is monetised now.
I really do miss fat boxes, with games you just install while checking out the goodies inside, like manuals, art etc. I still have access to my old games, I still can play them (even if I have to apply some patches to make them work on Win 10/11) and they still look better shelf, than just an icon in my Steam library.
Blame Steam and the people who went with it maybe? on PC i do GOG only i don't want DRM.
I miss them too, there's no collectable purpose with digital stuff, you cannot get like a map of the game, lore books, a figurines, statues and such, that's why I prefer physical then digital tbh, you don't get cool stuff with digital, only for the online stuffs, so yeah
It’s called capitalism.
my last good editor collection game i bought was Demon Souls...
When you consider the fact that old games released like over 10 years ago like L4D2 runs butter smooth, you can't blame us gamers from staying away from new games because they're released unfinished and unpolished. Welcome to MODERN GAMING! When the publishers / devs create the game to suck as much money as possible from the consumer with an unfinished product, I don't blame everyone for quitting gaming.

Doom Eternal runs amazingly
AAA games are so obsessed with chasing "muh graphic" that they ignore actually optimizing the game 99% of the time, or just don't give a shit enough and pushing.
I also hate that digital media has basically completely removed physical discs for PC. You'd think cutting down on the production cost of selling physical discs would lower the price just a LITTLE bit, but instead its still at least $60 USD and now they're pushing for $70 games to become the norm. I love playing games on my PC, but I refuse to play basically any new AAA games at this point.

If you adjust for year on year inflation, games on the 90s and 2000s used to be around $150 in today's value. For me pricing isn't an issue because I'll only ever buy a game if it has something like 80% discount. And even with these cut down, affordable prices I don't think I get my money's worth.
Consoles are extremely expensive and rarely have any discounts for games. It'd be impossible for me to game with any console except X-box's game pass. At that point you might as well build a windows computer. I prefer the investment into a PC so that it can also be used for productive work.
It's sad that I'll never be able to experience the glory days of PC gaming where you could game on any level of hardware with sensible performance compromises.
This is why I only spend $60 a year on steam summer sales, buying old games that I missed out on that can run on ultra on my PC.
Plus you get the complete edition with all DLCs this way.
Save your 60 dollars and torrent old games unless they're multiplayer
@@NUFCOfficial How about no because they have to eat too? Piracy is not a good excuse when you can get games for 5-10 euro or less than 5 euro.

@@Z3t487 piracy doesn't take away money from devs or publishers because most likely the pirate wouldn't buy the game anyways. I pirate games because the age of demos is gone and I wanna try out games before I buy them
Honestly, purchasing new AAA games on its release day or pre-order seems to be very risky since they turn out to be having lots of issues like bugs, compatibility, and overall content quality. Ppl have to wait another weeks or months (maybe even years) to get their money worth out of games when the developers release tones of patches for them before they choose to refund.
@YeaMan where were you at the last meeting dude. I was counting on you to get that purple wizard role in our cult.
Yeah AAA games are, more often than not, just betas being released. Sometimes alphas if the company cares that little.
Its not risky, its just straight up foolish
Bf 2042 will prob die because of that
I like Indie/small gaming companies because they have to release well working games or they go out of business. There are a lot of smaller game developers doing it right. It's also sad the modding community has done a great job in fixing AAA games like Cyberpunk.
I think my replacement for pc gaming at this point is retro handheld modding.
Its really fun to see what games you can get running on old handhelds and i recently hacked my vita and its ASTOUNDING just how much shit that thing can run.
Indeed, it can practically run every game that existed pre 2000 as long as there's an emulator for it
I have started to play games on my old Super nintendo and PS1 system. Its more fun playing retro than to play triple AAA games

Still a banger
You're absolutely right. I understand small bug fixes, but no game should need a day-one patch to properly function. Publishers have gotten careless and not seeing monetary pushback from customers.
Most 1st and 3rd party games nowadays are abysmal. They're usually fortnite/COD clones with more cutscenes than actual gameplay, complete with loot boxes and pay-to-win with a couple gems in-between to keep you guessing.
I really want to emphasize that it's solely due to corporate greed and corruption, 100%. It's not budgeting or lack of creativity. These companies don't care about you or making a good product. If these companies wanted to make a good game, they will go out of their way to suffer to make one. Not that they have to, they have the billions of dollars to pay talented individuals. Some of the best games I've ever played were on 16-bit computers requiring severe technical workarounds (like the SNES or Genesis). Making a good game requires fun game mechanics and true passion/creativity, not powerful hardware.
The few good games out there nowadays are indie games and ROM hacks. Enderal: Forgotten Stories, Super Mario World ROM hacks, SMBX games, Sonic Robo Blast 2, 0ad and Poppy's Playtime (which you reviewed earlier) are all great.

scrumptious
Unfortunately, I'm with you. I've been a PC gamer my whole life but I honestly don't play newer games for one because they are unoptimized pieces of garbage with practices I don't support with half-finished games but... just over the years I'm just tired of being excited for a new game, installing it and having to go through the headache of fine-tuning it so it doesn't shit the bed but even then it still does. At least with Consoles I just put game in and game plays. Which is what I want in this day and age... though I'm starting to wonder if maybe *tinfoil hat* console companies are convincing people to make unoptimized shitty ports for PC so that more people will play on consoles.
The most gaming I do is on Roblox.. Least there I don't have hopes.
I like a console for the reasons you listed, but PC will always be my main platform just due to the sheer amount of freedom on the platform. If new games suck, I don't buy them. If anything, the amount of dog shit AAA releases makes me appreciate my PC gaming library even more. So many old games to play, mods, and great indie titles, such as Ready or Not. A $40 Alpha has given me more hours of enjoyment in two weeks than 2042 did in the last month and a half. Also consoles are very prone to performance issues as well, you just don't have the plethora of options when it comes to troubleshooting. When 2077 released I couldn't get over 40fps on the lowest settings. Less than 24 hours later there was a community made control panel for the game that let me tune settings that the developers locked out. Just turning off TAA boosted me to around 70fps, and performance became the least of my worries. I also made Keanu bald for shits and gigs. you don't have that sort of freedom on a console, and that's why I can't commit. Consoles also haven't been plug and play in forever. Every game requires installation, and there is no shortage of crashes and performance issues on console. Most broken PC ports end up running better than their console counterparts anyway, which is kind of hilarious.
@@trailerparksupervisor5378 bro ready or not looks amazing for sure
That last part you said, I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case. During the last 8 years, more and more people have started to go to PC gaming and console companies like Sony were probably noticing a decline in their 3rd party game sales as a result. So there might be something going on to make PC gaming look inferior just to sway those newer PC gamers to just stick to console.
buy a ps5 they have better games anyhow
My problem with pc gaming is that I’m expected to do some “workarounds” for games to work properly
Wow, those options were pathetic. I really hate when PC games have high requirements for no good reason. Do these publishers actually think that every PC gamer has a 3090?
Yeah but it's not just that, it's also horrible optimization, they didn't spend more than 5 minutes on that. If a game runs smooth on a fucking PS4 and then runs like shit on 1080p on a 3090?, and a modern cpu, you know the devs just don't give a fuck.
Man , and people called the FF13 games badly optimized , but with little options it still runs perfect on a low-middle grade pc.
@@Patrick_The_Pure Ubisoft be like:
more like 2 3090 in SLI or an A100 since "only" one 3090 freeze/stutter at some point
Honestly I don't have a problem with a game requiring a high spec PC to run at some uber-ultra setting, so long as you can run it at a good level without needing to sell a kidney to buy the best toy GPU to run it with.
I have always said that with technology getting better games should run better on lower end hardware. but it seems that developers are getting lazy with optimizations and expect everyone to have a 1080 or above now and days.
I can attest to this. I used to have a really budget build with a 1050 ti, 8gb DDR4, i5-6400. My GPU was little bit better than the PS4, the CPU was a little bit worse. Physically could not run any new games that were released to PS4, I didn't experience much of it because I just knew to not even try, but one game I tried was Modern Warfare 2019. At lowest settings, 1080p at 70% resolution scaling, with additional programs running to shift a significant amount of my PC's power to the game, and setting high priority in the Windows settings, resulting in the rest of my PC being practically unusable til I closed the game, would run at 50-60 fps TOPS. It's a fucking disgrace how devs treat budget gamers. I luckily managed to get exactly what I wanted at MSRP during this GPU shortage, but I feel heavily for budget gamers.
Time is money unfortunately.
remember when low quality actually mean low quality instead of whatever we have now?
You mean a 3080 or above lol, my 2080ti is struggling hard already in the recent unoptimized releases.
Even Crysis did a good job at running on not the best hardware. It wasn't the best, but you could do it, and it was playable and fun.
gamers brought this on themselves by continually supporting them and giving them the idea that what they are doing is a good idea. The more you throw money at them the more they will think that they are a genius for doing that. DONT DO THAT
I agree honestly. I also think Muta is guilty considering he still plays call of duty and battlefield. Why in 2021 would you buy these terrible games from these terrible franchises.
I keep telling fellow gamers the main reason its like this is us. People out here paying money for a game to not deliver what it should/what is offered. I'm telling them yo that aint rigtht and their response is "well it could've been worse. xyz was worse" as if that aint someone's hard earned money paying for this trash
Which only happened because dipshit normies flooded the hobby. Gaming was better when it was the nerdy wierdo hobby. We should have gatekeeped harder.
I haven't bought an early access game or any sort of incomplete mess in a long time. I haven't finantially supported any pay model that isn't "buy the whole game for x, and you get the whole game". I don't touch preorders, even with their shitty bonuses as the idea of buying a game before anyone can say whether or not its a quality product disgusts me.
Don't get me started on the pre-orders

aaa gaming is pretty garbage nowadays, when muta said indie dev giving a shit nowadays, he didn't lied
"When COD:Vanguard is the only game out of the entire AAA shooter gauntlet of 2021 that was working properly, we got problems"
This hit hard
Well, Call of Duty isn't really a brand new game either. It's just a reskin of whatever that came before it.
Halo infinity’s multiplayer mainly lacks content. But overall it works.
Just because it runs good doesn’t make it a good game (I know you didn’t say it was a good game)
It’s funny too cuz vanguard sucks lol
It has a million bugs currently and devs are on holidays. I would definitely not describe vanguard as a game that is working properly.
As time goes on, I value indie devs more and more
The one problem on PC is steam has so much garbage and no quality control. It drowns out good indie games that have no exposure. There are probably so many hidden gems in that pile of trash, but they're all suffocating and weight under the stench of garbage.
@@karlmarcs31 sure, but the alternative is arbitrary lineless parameters as to whether or not a game is "good enough" for the store.

PlayStation is fantastic with indies so many good titles I’ve played
This is why I took the retropill. Man there's a vast amount of games I never played growing up.
I’m glad other people are finally starting to see this. I learned with my 1080 Ti. After building an $1,600.00 system, you think that you’d be able to have good performance in any game, but I’ve had more headaches on PC than the performance was ever worth. Half of the time games don’t want to run correctly or have stutter. Also, crossplay is great. But I think it has honestly ruined a golden era of competitive FPS on console.
Spent 2.3 grand on my gaming computer. I love the resolution, frame rate, extra effects. But the headaches can get f_cking annoying.
I had to learn stuff like adjusting Memory Module clock speed, updating BIOS, etc., just so that the thing would run Correctly.
@@lanceelopezz223 pc gaming has always been anything to setup and play and not have to troubleshoot so many things from Audio to graphics.. with console you put the game in and play
Now that we have to deal with the cheaters the PC crowd brings with them? Yeah, competitive FPS on console is dead, just as dead as on PC.
@@lonemaus562 you mean 10 year old consoles, nodern console games are just as broken as the pc versions, cyberpunk still played best on PC, these are plenty of games where the PC version is the definitive, like the majority of the multiplats. but get used to more broken on release console games (& pc ports)
Even with consoles you don't have "good performance in any game" anymore. And to be honest, I never really identify with people who absolutely struggle with PC gaming. No idea. I kind of enjoy the tinkering still, maybe that's why.
I feel the issue is the big studios are running out of ideas, meanwhile the indie scene has so many ideas and innovations for games. It’s the sad reality when companies get to the point where they start to loose the point of the game in the first place.😔
I feel the same way, I am done with AAA games now. If it weren't for indie games i'd probably just give up on video games as a whole.
why dont they higher indie devs
Like for example, assassins creed has completely lost its roots and became a Witcher knock off
I don’t think they’ve run out of ideas. It’s just when they get so big and they’re dealing with hundreds of millions of dollars, they become adverse to risk and innovation. They don’t want to take chances with that kind of money on the line. So they end up sticking to proven methods. That’s one of the reasons I like to play indie titles as well.
According to all big corporations, the purpose of the product is to be Minimal Viable Product for "selling your children into slavery" prices.
This isn't a pc problem this is problem with the AAA game industry. We need to stop pre ordering, stop buying the rip off dlc, stop buying the micro transactions. People keep apologizing on behalf of developers and praising them when they start to fix their dog shit games or if they promise to not screw people as hard with mtxs. Also skyrim anniversary didn't launch with ultrawide support either because reasons so you still have to go in to the ini files and download a ui fix to make ultrawide work
I absolutely agree. Gamers are as much to blame as the companies themselves.
Muta isn't exactly the most brilliant guy when it comes to hardware or software. FF7R drops hard on PS5, you still beat its graphical fidelity on PC than you will get on PS5 just on high etc. Consoles are having drops in performance etc too. Nier Automata for instance would go as low as 15fps, Vangaurd on PS5 drops low as 28 and 30's for XBOX.
well as much as you say that and i agree with you people are just gonna do that over and over again EVEN WHEN THEY THINK THE GAME WILL BE BAD.....WHY!?
@@ErgonomicChair He definitely "forgot" that some of these AAA releases were buggy and ran poorly on consoles too. Cyberjunk being one of the more notorious ones. That game had no business releasing on xbox one and ps4 and CDPR should be ashamed of themselves for deceiving people like that. It's not all plug and play and "it just works with no messing around with .ini files" with consoles. At least with pc you have the option of messing around with files and even unofficial fixes. I needed that to fix the skyrim UI in ultrawide and to get F.E.A.R. working without stuttering endlessly. With consoles you have to wait for official patches and hope the devs keep supporting the game. Let's not forget the debacle when microsoft originally announced that the xbox one was going to require being always online.
Everyone said stop preordering games like half a decade ago. Look at where we are now. People spending hundreds in essentially worthless game items that disappear when the game goes byebye, people still believing in obvious marketing hype bs, etc.
tldr gamers are idiots
You came up randomly on my feed and I loved this rant. Subbed
I've realised that this issue persists in the pc version of many japanese developed games, Nioh 2 is the most recent example I experienced where despite my hardware the game fails to maintain a consistent 60 fps. However on PS4/5 this issue does not exist, I've heard its because in Japan PC gaming is still relatively unpopular when compared to the console gaming space.
Well now I know not to pay for that game any soon (and honestly haven't even played the first one that Epic gave away)
You know who's fault this is? Those guys in reddit that say:
"It runs fine for me, maybe it's just your shitty PC, I have an rtx 3090 btw 😎"
These cringe guys are everywhere from RUclips to twitter and they make everything worse
Those people are the worst.
Took the words right outta my mouth.
I saw a guy in a RUclips comment section talking about how the rtx 3090 was the only graphics worth buying and all other cards are "shit" and to "just get a job and buy one"
Their life be like:
"I used to be alone, my family disowned me long ago and no one adopted me since and every girl rejected me.
Ever since I got an RTX 42069, none of these things have changed but at least I now can cope by asserting dominance over "plebs" with my "godly pc"."
Legit so annoying, they’re the same kind of people who when you ask for help in a game online like: “Hey guys I can’t get past the mini boss at X part of the game, tips?” They respond with: “I did it first try, it’s not hard” and that’s all. Hooray for you buddy, but that doesn’t fucking help me at all.
The fact that so many people still put their faith in AAA companies (buying their “games” and getting disappointed) is why its been like this for so long. Stop buying AAA titles. Stop buying into their marketing.
There's still fantastic AAA games though.
Especially the idiots preordering shit.
It alsways gonna be in a terrible state, the AAA studios already got your money, now they can take their time.
Oh i see your a ♂️real man♂️ of coulture aswell
Ideally you shouldn't have to "put your faith" in anything, when you go to a restaurant you don't put your faith in the Chef being able to prepare the meal that was advertised, or when you buy a car you don't put your faith in the car being able to reach the speed that it is advertised as being able to hit, or starting at all. Selling *defective* products (that's exactly what these games that cannot even start without a day one patch and internet connection are), or products that have been falsely advertised is illegal and heavily fined in pretty much every industry, except in gaming where it's completely fine as there aren't any good consumer protection laws in place. The worst thing is when people start blaming each other for the failures of the industry. Customers shouldn't be the one to dish out punishment to these giant companies, the relevant authorities should.
they're insane and don't know how to stop. Its a feedback loop they're stuck in. Just avoid them and don't bother trying to shill the fun indy games to them.
The Devs that do the Epic Games exclusivity deal chose to avoid Steam because of this exact reason, they can put up unfinished games with zero consequences.
This is a very true video. It should be a wake up call for consumers on PC to realize that just because we have better hardware, it doesn't mean that we are getting better quality games. Companies use the excuse of PC having better hardware to ship out extremely unoptimised ports and then chalk it up to the consumer thinking they don't have the hardware to run it like in days of yore. Now we all just get extremely low quality and terrible ports, even with the best hardware. Go indie is basically the option at this point. There are lots of indie game developers who make very good games who hardly see the light of day. They are the ones making quality and good games for PC, we should support them.
Indie games are where it's at lately. I love finding those gems for 20-30 bucks. Deep Rock Galactic has been my go-to game lately. Its amazing.

Thought I was the only one having all these problems, I'm very much considering selling my gaming PC because it's becoming very frustrating to deal it, when I'm trying to enjoy a game and it lags It absolutely ruins it for me.
For me I find my self constantly messing with the settings instead of playing and enjoying the game. I went back to console and with the very limited setting I put the game in to performance mode left it at that and I found myself playing the game more with like no issues no drivers to update no shaders to load. I tried to see what everyone was telling me that PC is better it was not for me.
Indie games on PC is the heart and soul of gaming in this current era.
AAA studios aren’t concerned with making good games anymore, they have to make a profit for the shareholders. More people need to vote with there wallets and stop buying AAA games until they decide to give us original ideas and great performances.
Hey, like 90 percent of my Steam library is made up of indie and “AA” games. What I mean by double a games is a game with more scope, scale, and funding, than an indie game but less than a AAA game.
Some indie games I would classify as a AA experience, like The Long Dark. It’s still an indie studio but their scope and scale is huge compared to, let’s say, a game like Banished. Like did you know that the size of The Long Dark’s survival world with all regions and transition zones makes it bigger than the world of Skyrim.
Point is before I get anymore on a tangent, is that most AAA games I either have no interest in playing, can’t stand, or I don’t have the system to run it.
For me, I love the passion, the creativity, and the consumer friendly nature of the indie scene. While, most of it I should say.
I don't even know if AAA games can even be fixed by voting with our wallets anymore. All they need is enough idiots to preorder and buy overpriced cringey cosmetics or other microtransactions to turn a disgusting large profit. It doesn't help that a lot of people just don't care and will buy whatever broken unfinished game is popular.

@@BurningRubber454 what games? "mostly" is very generalized.
@@BurningRubber454 that or artsy pixelated depression simulators nobody remembers after 5 months.
The problem isn't PC gaming as a platform. The problem is that you are playing AAA games in general. They've been on a downhill trend for years now. Even Skyrim was a buggy mess on launch. Yet it still went down as one of the greatest games in recent history.
Idk if the newest version of Skyrim is different, but I think Skyrim is still super buggy lol.. Not as bad as Ghost Recon Breakpoint where I still fall through the freakin map when it was released in 2019. I hate Ubisoft.

I was a PC gamer from my youth to the adult life. It pains me to see that I can't fully upgrade my PC as I was able to do back then. I remember that I was able to upgrade my computer with a 6700k, 16 gb of ddr4 and a gtx 1080ti within a reasonable price. I was able to aford an enthusiast computer. Now with the mining craze, scalpers, etc., getting a gpu is like trying to buy a car (No kidding in my country you could afford a car with the price of a 3090 rtx). And now a PS5 cost the same as a 3070 or 3060 ti, and the performance is nearly the same. So I buyed the PS5 and left my PC to play older games. For a reasonable price I can play next gen games, that I will not be able to do it with my pc considering that I need to upgrade cpu, mobo and ram. Ah those were the days of pc gaming.. and I miss them.
Are you dense? You bought a console that costs the same as just a pc graphics card & think your little PS5 runs like a PC w a 3070? lol
Are you saying that consoles are not getting targeted by scalpers at all?!

Modern gaming has made me highly consider selling my PC/Ultra wide and going back to console.

The real issue is that as a whole, the consumers have been buying/pre ordering these broken, half assed games for so long that most companies now throw em out half baked because they know a lot of people will still buy it. If we wanna see change people need to stop buying games day one, need to stop pre ordering etc. But that will never happen no matter how much we all say/ask for it to. There will always be that kid who buys the new call of duty, always that person who gets the latest release from EA, always that guy who buys thousands of dollars in micro transactions. Unless we as a whole decide enough is enough we will never see it end.
I think the best thing is to accept the fact that new AAA games suck and to just enjoy older PC games. Things are gonna get worse, but that doesn’t mean you have to deal with AAA bullshit.
At this rate, we need another videogame crash...
As long as kids exists, their parents/relatives will buy the games for them. As long as people's favorite youtubers are playing a game (muta and BF 2042), people will buy those games. People play the games that everyone else is playing even if it's hot 🔥. Blaming consumers (even if they are being stupid) is stupid. That side of the equation will never be fixed because there are just too many people in the masses to make a real impactful change.

Bro me too. I just got a pc this year too. I'm loving it so far
I built a high end PC in late 2017 mainly for any games I played on the Xbox One, but I got to play PC exclusive games that were never released on the consoles I played. It's also so fun to play old console games that are on PC with max everything and they just feel so much better
Been playing stalker anomaly for FREE, shit is so fun.

Recently replayed Baldur's Gate. One of my all time favorites.👌Know that feel.
It's why I don't attempt to go hard into AAA games, I just look for the stuff that has been confirmed as good or interesting and play those, if a game is not fun then I won't play it and I won't pay it, I'll gladly support indie devs since they take actual feedback and at least with them we can excuse glitches and bugs and stuff because they are smaller teams just trying to make an actual game instead of something that is just "look my pew pew look like funny thing that isn't a pew pew"
Its funny to me how you can pay 70% less for a indie game that comes 70% more completed than a AAA title
The “release now and fix later” mindset has lowered the standard of modern games so much.
It’s a shame when indie devs create a product infinitely better as a hobby, than a AAA company whose sole purpose is to develop a fucking video game.

This is because, no matter what development companies do, people will still buy anything they release. People need to start showing developers that actions do have consequences. Start boycotting games and maybe we will see an improvement.
Until then, expect nothing to improve.
Anyone with a IQ above room temp knows this and doesn't throw their pocketbook behind everything. The problem is that there are lots of normie masses that chase hype and are willing to open their wallets for anything with a bit of manufactured hype. Unless the yearly sports title/mainstreamFPS/trend buyers wake up, it will only get worse and worse.
super agreed with you but will they ? probably not
Sorry to burst your hopes and dreams but its never going to happen unless the AAA industry implodes and changes start being made. This is gunna continue for quite a few more years and maybe longer. I have little to no hope of ever seeing really good games come out consistently without those games just being cash cows or a mockery of their previous ones. Any beloved franchise that's still around is a shining example of the old saying "you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain" which the latter definitely applies to.
That part.
“Boycotting” ooooooof bro
If you're getting anything less than 60 with that hardware I have to assume you're using a 4k monitor, just play on 2k or 1080p and you'll never drop below 144.
I agree ✌🏼
This is why I have patience in the gaming scene. I never buy games right off the bat, and usually wait until they're several years old before I pick them up, as far as on PC. Unless we're talking indies of course. That way, things actually can be expected to run well and be patched, or at least I don't early buy-in to something like Cyberpunk. I'm running a GTX 1080 and an 8700k, and will continue to as long as this hardware operates. Will serve me well for quite a while I suspect!
Ah, back in my day we were HAPPY to own a game and play it until our systems overheated, disk or cart. We loved our games, and the creators' passions showed
I've long admitted that AAA gaming has basically died after 2015 with a minute small handful of exceptions here and there over the years.
Yeah, you could say AAA gaming was slowly dying by that point and croaked this past year.
This thinking is so funny to me because in 2015 people said AAA gaming died in 2010, in 2010 it died in 2005, in 2005 it was 2000, and so on.
@@aurum6501 Yeah, too much hyperbole, when the problems with AAA gaming in '15 were less obvious in comparison to now.
And gaming as a whole is still very much alive and well, even if AAA gaming today is going through a crisis of quality and consumer friendliness.
Exactly. It’s silly. AAA gaming is definitely experiencing a crisis of anti-consumer practices, but there have been a ton of great releases since 2015 that weren’t buggy or broken (most notably by Sony’s first party studios). Last of Us 2 was polished. God of War was polished. Ghost of Tsushima was polished. Sekiro was polished. Horizon Zero Dawn was polished. Then there’s Nintendo’s Switch exclusives that were all polished. Red Dead 2 was also a polished game. Most recently, Forza and Halo Infinite were polished (with Halo exceeding initial expectations amidst concerns). AAA gaming is not dead. Let’s see how Starfield turns out next.
God of War was incredible though and that was 2018
I decided to make the switch back to consoles myself recently. I switched to PC gaming in 2015 when games were clearly inferior on consoles (most Triple A games running at 30 fps and sometimes not even 1080p), but these days that isn't much of an issue with the new powerful consoles. PC gaming just hasn't been as enjoyable an experience for me and honestly took a toll on my love for gaming. I have OCD and worry too much about frame rate drops and stuff on PC whereas on console I can live with drops since I know there is nothing I can do to change the performance. I'm rocking a PS5 and Series S now and couldn't be happier with the change.
I feel you especially if you are on a competitive game just knowing other players have the same FPS and performance as everyone else.
Why one or the other? I have a 3080 a ps5, a nintendo switch and a quest 2. That is what true gamers do. Filthy casuals in the comments.
I’m also a pc gamer, I play on a 14 year old $60 dollar laptop I got at the swamp meet. It’s wild, I play solitaire, chess and that mine game. I also sometimes get crazy and play some Java games from the Cartoon Network website, like teen titan and ed edd and eddy team racing. Adventure Quest changed my life and though it over heats my pc, it’s still cool to play.
You could also try PC games from the mid-2000s. Most of those came complete and run fine on Windows 10.
There are so many awesome games from that era, like F.E.A.R., No One Lives Forever, Impossible Creatures, Age of Mythology, TOCA Race Driver 3, Battlefield 2, I could go on for a while.
@@toshineon i still play age of mythology the titans :D
Most of then has been de-listed from marketplaces and/or have broken DRM.
>windows 10
>running fine
try gta sa without patches
Serious Sam classic runs so smooth and it's 100% compatible. The amount of graphical settings for that game is crazy
Never bought or “rented” a new release. Ninety nine of one hundred times something is screwed. This has been true for just about ever. I’m 74 and been gaming since day one.
A true gamer right here
You deserve this: 🏆
🐐
@@IsraelMartinezM7 That was what I was going to exactly say haha
@@absolutemadlad4334 we have the same thoughts….. have this 🐐🏆
I have also shifted from PC gaming to almost exclusively console gaming. Just so much easier to play and enjoy games. The biggest drawback to PC gaming is the cheating and the lack of balance from 1 system to the next. When I play online console games, I know that everyone is using the same hardware which leads to a more balanced online experience.
happy new year my friend
I'm to a point where I only buy these AAA games if they are heavily discounted and I know what I'm getting into. The only game I have pre-ordered in the past multiple years was Great Ace Attorney Chronicles for Nintendo Switch because I know that they aren't going to throw out an Ace Attorney game on switch that has issues, also performance is a non-issue.
Same.
ngl same & GAAC was amazing as expected
For PC gaming, Indie titles is where it is at. Some recent games being Toem, Genesis Noir and loop hero.
Two of the games you can get from GOG and not have to deal with any DRM and none of these games need a high end PC. You can probably run these on a 10 year old laptop.
loop hero is fuckin awesome
Honestly if you're not playing PC games PURELY because of amazing indie titles I don't know what the fuck you're doing. There's plenty of good games coming out on PC all the time, plenty of interesting projects currently in developement, like Starsector which I've put an unhealthy amount of time into, the wow factor these days is mostly in games like that. I don't see what any other platform has to offer that's better than PC indie titles, though I guess that depends on what you're looking for, me I don't give a shit about graphics, I'm fine playing an isometric RPG that looks like it was made in the 90s because I don't care, if the game is good it's good.
@@HandleMyBallsRUclips And Indie doesn't have to mean pixelated isometric RPGs. Hellblade is an indie title.
@@shApYT Did I say that it did? That was just an example, the majority of actually interesting indie titles that I've run into however definitely aren't that insane on the graphics department, making things like 3D models, which is something I do from time to time is pretty time consuming, a lot of indie games aren't made by teams of people, not really. Starsector is made by a couple of guys, Highfleet is entirely one guy plus an artist from what I can tell, I'm pretty sure the same goes for Hammerfight.
Then there's really barebones stuff like Dwarf Fortress and SS13, stuff that's intentionally retro like Brigador and Huntdown, all of these with the exception of SS13 and DF are nice looking games, visually impressive even, but in a completely different way from your average triple A title.
Not all indie games look like that, but again in my experience, the ones that are most interesting from a gameplay perspective, and from a mechanics perspective are usually not that insane when it comes to graphics, inde games also by and large tend to be a bit behind whatever is the current high water mark for graphics, and generally more accessible to people on not so high end systems.
My only problem with the PC indie scene is that a lot of games "release" in early access and you have to wait months for any updates. I already bought 3 bigger indie games that I really wish I could sell and buy in ~5 years, when the devs finally do something. A lot of indie devs also follow current trends and mindlesly do genres that sell well on Steam. First it was artsy 2D platformers, then Minecrafty survival, now it's Rimworld-like simulators and boomer shooters.
"I have some pretty decent specs"
Proceeds to list the specs in his pc which are the best specs you can ever get R9 5950x and RTX 3090
Good vid with some great points bro! I plan to end my pc gaming career as soon as my current tech becomes obsolete, because I am in no way paying upwards of 3k just for a system to play games on, phones do everything one requires of the internet outside of AAA gaming and I find Nintendo still to be my favorite home entertainment system of all time so it's a no brainer :)
I like how 6 people respond to the gfuel comment before actually commenting
u
cause you were one of them
One advantage I found in PC gaming is that companies release free games: That's how I got Rayman Origins from Ubisoft, KO city, Darksiders, Into the breach so on so forth.
Mods and indie gaming is a huge reason why I like PC games.
any game is free on the pc
@@neku2741 lol
i feel like MANY MANY people feel EXACTLY how Muta just described for 14 minutes...
I'm pretty much the same as you, Muta.
I mostly use my PC for emulation. My machine is mid-tier at best, but it still runs everything okay. I don't need anything mind-blowing. Even then, I very much prefer consoles, since you can just buy the game, put it in the box, and it runs fine...most of the time.
As great as PC gaming can be, there's a lot of struggles with graphics, settings, drivers, and spending too much time trying to get older games to even run at all. Sometimes, you can totally waste your money by buying a game and realizing that your $1000+ machine isn't even powerful enough to run it, but if you have a $500 console, it'll mostly run it fine without struggles.
I love how these companies give less shits about optimisation and how well the game runs on a system, in the same time where it is IMPOSSIBLE to buy a newer graphics card without selling both kidneys.
THIS. If your pc is getting old for intensive games just buy a Series S/X. It will be so much cheaper than an upgrade and you won't have to put up with inevitable performance issues you're gonna get anyway because they don't know how to make pc ports anymore. And it's come full circle. You'd think we got out of the shitty pc port era, but that only lasted a short while. Now nearly every pc port is stained with performance issues. The only new-ish AAA game that felt like a genuinely great pc port was Doom Eternal. And I think that could be because they actually developed the game for PC to begin with. Well that and IdTech being an amazing engine developed by professionals who know what they're doing.
it’s like Mutahar said in the end. It’s up to people as a whole to figure this out. The prices sky rockets , the quality downgrades and what do people do? Nothing. They accept it and in actuality they make fun of anyone that can’t afford it. People need to start standing up to these corporations , boycott , protest. Etc. Idc.
Just wait until the digital bubble pops. People will realize how bad they’re getting screwed.
@Green Mamba Games
Show me the receipts, man. I don't believe for a second that the Cyberpunk community decided, collectively and with no sort of organization, to all pick 2020 as the year they'd get out the torches and pitchforks if CDPR didn't give them their game. All those claims about death threats, without citations and user histories, are just gaslights and astroturf; sleight of hand to distract people from the fact that CDPR effectively embezzled their investors' money, committed loan fraud, and generally just betrayed the trust of their community.
@@chesterstevens8870 Exactly 💯
better idea: support games that are actually worth your money.
Boycotts work when new ignorant audiences don't walk into loot boxes and battle passes.
Companies can recoup the cost fairly quickly since every "Game cost" they spend is equal to a full purchase.
I feel the same way as you. Im at the point where I question why I even get mad at companies for doing these shady things. Not sure what i'm hoping for anyway. Maybe it's time to just give up on it entirely
I've been gaming since I was about 5 years old. I'm about to be 23 years old and I have little to no desire to play video games anymore.
I've said it before and I'll die on this hill, gaming going mainstream was the worst thing to ever happen. Companies no longer need to make a game for a smaller devoted community that love the product and devs care for, now you just push out generic garbage after garbage and it'll sell no matter what cause there's too many people to care.
Lets hope FromSoftware stays the same
I have no hope for GTA 6.... Bcoz today's SJW stuff would be angery on seconds the game got released
Not only going mainstream, but getting political by virtue signaling how diverse your company is.
@@bitelaserkhalif and yet GTA V is doing well, just like every other GTA despite years of criticism from non-gaming news outlets like FOX making up lies about what you can do in the game. If anything I’d be more worried about the moral superiority of conservatives having an influence, but it won’t. So why complain? You know GTA 6 will most likely kill it in sales and hopefully reviews.
Dub Collector That was back in 2013 though. Politics were a lot different. The left was less queasy than the right back then. Now uh, the right has gotten queasier, and the left has gotten queasier. Mainstream politics in general will shit on it for entirely different reasons.
We've been in a period where indie games are 10x more flushed out and finished than Triple-A games. Shit sucks.
Indie Games are basically gold now. The chances of a modern AAA game topping something like Hollow Knight is little to none
i'd rather have 1 hades then 5 AC games
Risk of Rain 2 and Hades are 2 indie games I tried this year (I'm not an indie guy, or wasn't before) and was massively impressed. Now I'm definitely trying more of these types of games. I got 100+ hours out of each for a grand total of like 40 bucks. Cyberpunk I got 35 hours for 80$.
Why does it suck? Just don't buy AAA games. You said it yourself, indie games are 10x better.
@Wismic It doesn't suck, that just means the indie games are where you should be looking for your entertainment instead of big-budget releases.
I've recently started playing Enter the Gungeon, and I'm loving it. Prodeus is a great FPS, I think Muta had some seconds of gameplay onscreen.
I wanted to upgrade my gpu, but it was way too expensive. Then I realised I didn't need to upgrade at all because there were no good games coming out that I couldn't already run well enough, or at least not enough that I care.
I pretty much exclusively play emulatirs and indie games at this point. I don't think I have even bought a gane on PC since Q1 this year, though, and I regret that purchase.
I wouldn't touch modern consoles.
Your point about digital v physical is kind of moot as a ton of CDs now are just keys to download the games, or need patches to not be completely broken.
my problem with pc gaming is most games i want to play dont work well. aways some kind of fps drop, stuttering, screen tearing, crashes, its unoptimized. the pc is reliable for everything non gaming related. even old games dont work...doesnt make sense how modern gpu will struggle to play something old. if you get an error message there can be an endless amount of reasons why it occurs and then trying dig through online forums is madness. you spend more time messing with the settings than actually enjoying the game.
i go out and buy a so called higher spec pc and it still does the same thing...got to be a scam
