I'm actually not even worried about the performance since GZ is great... it's more like maybe Konami will pull a surprise on us since they're so snakey. Konami account for online, promises unfulfilled... who knows. I'd have the same attitude if I was buying it on consoles... lord knows they've had their fair share of launch issues. No point in being the guinea pig. I'm quite against pre-ordering and even day-1 purchases anyway. I'm honestly expecting I'll end up buying it in its release week (if I have the dosh) anyway because I'm confident reports will come back grand. We'll see 0 -

Consoles have some launch issues (like hdmi kicking the bucket on some ps4's) but we have tons more issues both with hardware, like issues with GPU's like coil whine on the new fury, AND software. Its a pain.
MGSV and Fallout will be my only Day 1's this year. Oh; and the Disney Infinity pack with Bobba Fett in it. (Laugh all ye want :P )0 -
I meant launch issues for the games which release with really bad performance, network issues etc. Sometimes they take months to patch or never patched at all.
When it comes to hardware I've had to replace my PS3's controller thrice, the Blu Ray drive once (and now it still chugs on tekken) and have it downgraded in software to not being able to install other OS among other things. Still glad I have it for Yakuza, Tekken etc (and still with free online).
Also my PS3 crashed at least 100s of times and I'm not exaggerating. A handful of times in Tekken 6 but mostly just on the XMB when going anywhere near the browser. When I turned it back on it asked me to send an error to sony which I did. They probably have a special folder for all the reports on my PS3 at their HQ from the sheer amount of times it crashed. My PC has crashed much less.
That said, I don't expect too many hardware problems on consoles or PCs, and it's not really what I was saying about MGSV. These days, it's the games that have the issues with optimisation, proprietary middleware and all sorts of bull-feckery. Haven't seen much of that in GZ so I'm feeling optimistic about its launch but there's nothing that will make me buy a game day-one in this day and age.
Nobody answered my question about MGSV having online on PS3. Because if it does that will make it the only console-release of the game where you don't have to pay to play online.0 -

That's a faulty PS3 not the typical experience at all lol you should've tossed it. Sounds haunted. I've had 3 PS3's due to international moves, one of each model. 0 issues.
In general console releases are much smoother. Even aside from any issues that can arise from the very natures of PC with all of its conflicting drivers etc, crappy ports and games built around consoles are far too prevalent now. Ground Zeroes is the exception rather than the rule. Should mean TPP sees a smooth launch though. Hopefully.0 -

That's nothing really to do with ****ty PC hardware though and everything to do with publishers cheaping out and outsourcing the PC ports to incompetent third parties. We saw that with Arkham Knight which should not have been the way it was considering consoles these days differ very differently to PCs. A shame because the previous Batman games with ports done internally by Rocksteady were showcases for just how far ahead PC was compared to the consoles. If there's going to be any issues with PP it will be network issues but then there might be none. GZ on PC really showed just how well the game is optimised for the platform.

If you had said that a few years ago, I'd have agreed. But I've seen more unresolved/partly resolved issues with console releases in the last while. Things like Arkham Knight just get more press because the PC audience make more noise about it. Not to mention most of the 'issues' are often defended on consoles. I've literally seen people defend long loading screens as "Giving you time to think about your mistake" and low-framerates as "cinematic." God forbid you play the XB version of The Evil Within or the unpatched day-1 version. You can google that one.
Can't forget most of Ubisoft's games having performance problems, either. Not even Tetris got a console release without performance issues caused by players' friend-lists. You can't make this stuff up.That's a faulty PS3 not the typical experience at all lol
Try use the browser daily. You'll have as many crashes as me soon enough. Try play custom music while on Tekken 6. If you play as often as I did you'll get a handful of crashes sooner or later. Fallout crashed on me a lot. Skyrim became unplayable because of that never-resolved save-file issue on PS3.I've had 3 PS3's due to international moves, one of each model. 0 issues.
2 PS3s. Many issues. First one is no longer up for further testing on account of it being stolen :pac: But it crashed just as much thanks to me using it in the same way (custom tracks on T6, browser usage).
But we're getting a little off-topic here. GZ has performed excellently on all platforms and it's a great that it exists on last-generation consoles if for nothing else than to shut up all that 'only possible on next-generation consoles!" malarkey. It goes to show that most modern games are not doing anything particularly ambitious in terms pushing hardware for any good reason and can easily be ported to last-generation or made to run on lower end PCs with only the obvious things toned down. If you look at games these days nothing really looks much better than Crysis 1 released in 2007 and yet apparently we need better GPUs and the next generation of consoles. The min-requirements increase but I see few good reasons for them to.
This also goes for MGSV but I'm not going to complain too much about that because I think it looks good in most of the important ways. I'm excited to see how well it handles the massive draw-distance when we get hold of the full game in that open-world environment. I'm actually curious as to what is the longest range you can shoot someone with a sniper rifle.
Screw passive playthroughs. I'm going to infiltrate bases in the most efficient way I can which often means breaking a few eggs
