does anyone have a list of console to pc ports that really should be avoided? after a rant the other night when i couldnt get dead island to run smoothly and a good google search it appears the game is a really poor console port and to a certain extent should be avoided. luckily it only cost me a fiver. however what i would like to know is what newish games ( last 2 years or so ) are poor ports and should be avoided to save me wasting more cash needlessly.

between me n my bf we mainly play fps, i play adventure games ala tomb raider etc and racing games.
 
tbh ive never heard of the stalker games, if they turn out to be as bad as dead island i shall be less than impressed. dead island was really bad compared to the latest games like far cry 3, at least they wouldnt lag every 10 sec or every time i turned around
 
what am meaning is ma bf got another xbox today n if it runs better on console ala dead island be better off playing it there than stuttering n lagging like mad on pc
 
If you get the Stalker games, download the Complete Mods (search google) as they fix a lot of bugs and make the game experience a whole lot better.
 
It all depends really....For most poorly optimized games, people on this forum will do a bit of work to get up to scratch, depends on whether you are prepared to do the same?....Most games run fine, and for those that don't, there are usually ways to get it to a good standard.

GTA on the other hand, is a game that lots of people can't get good performance from whatever they do, by all accounts(though many play it fine).
 
Splinter Cell Double Agent was bad, it's the only one of the series that I've not completed due to its buginess, terrible menu and save system are what I recall as the biggest problems. I also thought Conviction was quite buggy, must be an Ubisoft thing, they seem to hate us PC gamers.
