Upgraded my PC so I can play multiplat games on anything above 30 fps

A lot, but it is overall vastly inferior to the ps4 original.

Literally every single issue of PC port is fixed by that one fan-made patch, FAR or whatever it was called

You mean superior.

Now that's just plain false

>people ACTUALLY think a locked 30fps 720p console version is superior to a 1080p 60fps PC version just because the latter, while always higher than the console version, has the potential to drop below

It's GTA4 all fucking over again

The fact that it needs a fan made patch is a problem in itself and shows blatant disregard from SE/Platinum for PC players

I don't remember what they were like, but they're possibly targeted at 1st-gen consoles and as such are rendered at a shitty quality.

What the fuck are you complaining about? You don't have to do shit, all you have to do is drag and drop one folder.

Someone else already ported the game. Someone else already made the patch that fixes its remaining issues. What the fuck are YOU complaining about? What did YOU do?

Nope, PS4 didn't struggle to run the cutscenes or have any of the bugs or crashes. Not to mention no DLC.
>b-but muh framerate
the PS4 version ran perfectly, the PC one did not. Nier Automata like many other games is very inconvenient to the narrative that PC ports are always definitive, and is just more evidence that they are not it varies game by game, with many just being terrible.

get the farfix mod
gotta get your hands dirty if you want to enjoy the best experience possible
if you're too lazy you can always sell the pc back and go back to the inferior experience

The PS4 is actually 60fps as well
SE/Platinum put a sub-par PC port on the market and then never fixed it, what is hard to understand about this?

JUST INSTALL THE FUCKING MOD IT TAKES LITERALLY 4 CLICKS

THE INSTALL IS EVEN AUTOMATED

>SE/Platinum put a sub-par PC port on the market and then never fixed it, what is hard to understand about this?
It means they spent all that money on nothing and still can't own their games.

Aren't the cutscenes prerendered? Why the fuck would a mod increase the quality of prerendered cutscenes?

>60fps
nice joke
i think you meant 39fps and that's when you're looking at the ground ?
what are you even doing bro, there's no need to shitpost this much to get your thread going

this game is iffy and has never been patched
fixed that for you.

You're a schizo, it's the principle that matters. It should not be up to the community to fix a game, it should release optimized. Do you agree with this or not?

Looks just fine to me! This version BTFOs the consolefags! Heh! H-hold on a cutscene is beginning it might crash heh.

Game is busted, don't bother

Yes they are, the mod is to fix other issues exclusively present in the PC port

I mean, the PC port is still the best version of the game. The only PC-only issue that the patch fixes is the resolution scaling shit IIRC, the myriad other problems it addresses or improves aren't PC-specific, like the bad frame pacing, the shitty AO resolution, shitty GI solution, shitty light shaft resolution and other shit I don't remember are all present on consoles as well, except you cannot actually do anything on console while you at least have the option to use the patch on PC. Frame rate is also much better on PC than on console.

Yes, it SHOULD, but that isn't always the case. Saying an inferior console version is superior to a PC version that aims higher and doesnt always hit its higher target, despite BEING HIGHER THAN THE CONSOLE VERSION AT ALL TIMES doesnt make it an inferior experience you fucking dipshit

Just cap it to 25fps at 720p if you want the console experience

It's still inferior to the PS4 original.

>just do devs' job! it's that easy! c'mon on now don't be lazy!

>1600x900
maybe if you'd play the game on a device built in 2010s, you would not have any issues?

If you want the game to actually run at 1080p in fullscreen you need to use borderless gaming otherwise it goes to 900p
The cutscenes are at 30fps and stutter for some reason. Game never received a single patch fuck Square

>1080p
What is this, 2014?

>Not to mention no DLC.
The DLC is available on PC dummy
The only issue with the PC version is the fullscreen res which can be bypassed using borderless gaming and the odd stutter in cutscenes
Considering how minor the issues are I don't get why it was never patched, the fullscreen res one must be an easy fix surely

You can run it higher but still need to do the same trick, as fullscreen always gets forced to the same res as PS4, 900p

Not on PS4 pro, the best experience.

>getting locked to desktop refreshes thanks to windows shittiness
oof

1080p is the native resolution of most 22-24" monitors. Higher res is great and all, but it's a an additional luxury, it's not the default.

The person arguing the PS4 version is superior is a different poster, I never claimed this. My sole argument is that the PC port is sub par and to just lie over and allow that is weak of you

>he uses windows 10

No, it really isn't. I mean it has some specific parts which are better like the dynamic between Nier, Kaine, and Emil but overall its a much worse.

>as fullscreen always gets forced to the same res as PS4, 900p
This is incorrect. The game doesn't get forced to 900p, it uses the wrong scaling parameter when initializing DirectX which makes it look like shit. The mod overrides the scaling option to the correct one which makes the game look normal.

The stuttering on PC drives me up the fucking wall. Modded it to get 120+ fps which just makes it more noticeable when it hitches up for a split second. It's the most annoying shit, cutscenes are obviously eyecancer as well but I can atleast understand those, kind of. I don't remember being this angry at the PS4 version on release.

i've never seen someone argue against facts this much

The fact that people keep replying to an obvious imbecile is far worse. You already know he's either mentally retarded or pretending to be, so why give him the time of the day?

The PS4 version doesn't have that problem.

Of course it doesn't ,it can't possibly have high framerate issues if it constantly floats between 40 and 60 frames per second

Runs at 60

You need the fan patch. Blame platinum for them not ever patching bugs

TARGETS 60, drops very frequently
Played through ending A on base PS4 and drops were commonplace.
That was enough to make me get PC version which ran flawlessly with FAR patch because my PC wasn't made a decade ago

Runs at 60fps, unlike the PC version

again, TARGETS 60 fps while commonly dropping to 40-50, especially noticable when you're moving around quickly and new areas load in

you're right about the PC version though, it only runs at 60 on low-end PCs. Modern ones run Nier Automata at 120.

Lots of microstuttering and general jank, poor optimization causes the game to run at sub 60. Not to mention the instability, weirdness with the cutscenes. It's a mess. Plus you don't even get to own a copy if you pay for it. PS4 is the way to go.

The mod somehow made my game fucking worse

>Lots of microstuttering and general jank
fixed with FAR
>poor optimization causes the game to run at sub 60
fixed with FAR
>Not to mention the instability
zero crashes in 66 hours that i have on record
>weirdness with cutscenes
what's weird about them, aside from being pre-rendered and identical to other platforms?
>It's a mess
if you're running a core2duo system, maybe
>Plus you don't even get to own a copy if you pay for it. PS4 is the way to go.
>he actually thinks he owns games on PS4
no, you're just renting the license, like with any other platform

FAR only works in some cases, it has been thoroughly documented not to be the one-in-all solution
>no, you're just renting the license
Nope, physical copy guarantees eternal ownership.

read TOS sometimes, because apparently you're as clueless with law as you are with using computers

Is there a way to open FAR menu on pirated copy? Every time I hit ctrl + shift + backspace game crashes.

buy the game or use a very old build of FAR available for pirates

>buy the broken port which got no patches
Yeah, sure.

>runs like silk on my machine
might be your shitty PC

>Nope, physical copy guarantees eternal ownership.
SecuROM says hi

Ok.

game plays offline perfectly

I have, they can do nothing about physical copies. Digital ones however (PC problem in particular) are 100% their domain. Digital is rental, which is cancer.

PS4 games are just licenses. This isn't really something you can argue about, it's a fact and if you had the slightest shred of law knowledge you'd understand that.

>Digital ones however (PC problem in particular) are 100% their domain. Digital is rental, which is cancer.
Bullshit. Digital is infinitely replicable. If the game can run offline, then nothing in the world stops me from making a complete backup of the game's executable and putting it anywhere else on my hard drive, or on any disc.

That's exactly what a disc-based game is anyway, it's just that the digital replica is stored on the DVD media instead of on the drive itself. The only way around this reality is for the game to perform some sort of authentication check that calls home to the server to verify that the digital copy is "legit", and if that service gets turned off, the game will stop functioning, regardless of whether the game is stored on the hard drive or on a DVD-ROM.

ALL video games are "digital only", you fucking dunce. The only question is what piece of physical media holds the digital content; a DVD or an HDD.

yeah as I said
