A lot of these games were patched and fixed by now.
but they were out on PC with the expectation that they should be superior to the console version. Why wait for the "superior" edition and then still have to wait because something was broken?
Just like how it took Sony a couple months to fix the crashing in Returnal or blurry performance mode in Horizon Forbidden West in the NG+ update.
and? I still enjoyed the game on PS5, even with the blurry performance mode because I played it on quality mode at launch which was fine. Crashing on Returnal didn't happen to me to where I noticed it. I think the game crashed on me once or twice in my hours of playing. It also had the same issue on PC.
And let's be real, a lot of console games performance mode is only achievable with heavy compromises.
Okay? It comes with the territory. You can't have your cake and eat it too on consoles. Even on PC you can't, you just have the option to spend more which is being left out of the convo. I can play Claire Obscure at 4K/ 60+fps on my PC, but my GPU alone cost more than PS5 Pro. I know what to expect on a console.
Patience is rewarded in this hobby, and in general with tech. Nothing wrong if you can't wait, but call it what it is.
This is video games we're talking about. Not every game or hardware is a rushed product that is better if you wait. Imagine if you waited to buy a Series X because "patience is rewarded", now that shyt costs more than a PS5 Pro.
Sure there's games like E33 and GTA6 that are more difficult to wait for. But there was virtually zero benefit to playing FF16 early. Good game but a lot of better games out there that I could've played before it while waiting if I was an Xbox or PC gamer.
There was a benefit, I enjoyed it the hell? I don't care about FFXVI anymore to play it again. How is this even a conversation? You can say it's zero benefit to play any game at launch because you can wait and play something else. Why even play games? You can wait till 3 more years to get an even stronger build and play games at 8K, 240fps. Them SNES nikkas lost, I'm playing Super Mario in 4K.
