MODERATORS
 

AI summary:

  • Performance Issues in "Rise of the Ronin": The game, recently released on Steam, suffers from severe performance problems, including stuttering, low and inconsistent frame rates, crashes, and input delays. Players report poor graphics quality even on high-end PCs.

  • Steam Rating: The game currently has a "Mixed" rating on Steam, with only 44% positive reviews. Many players complain that the graphics resemble early PS4 visuals and that performance remains poor even on lower settings.

  • Player Reports:

    • Massive FPS drops (e.g., from 70 to 30 FPS for no apparent reason).
    • Blurry graphics and subpar performance despite powerful hardware.
    • Positive feedback on combat mechanics, but open-world performance is heavily criticized.
  • Comparison to Other PC Ports: The article highlights that poor PC ports have become increasingly common. Recent examples include Monster Hunter: Wilds, Spider-Man 2, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and The Last of Us Part 1.

  • Koei Tecmo's Response: The publisher has acknowledged the issues and is working on a patch to be released "soon." In the meantime, they recommend:

    • Lowering graphical settings to "High" or "Standard."
    • Setting the FPS limit to 60, which "may" improve performance.
  • Community Reactions: While some players find the performance acceptable, others mention they’ve had to "get used to" stuttering issues—a sentiment reflecting broader frustration with subpar PC ports.

To be fixed just in time for heavy discounts. Truly a stroke of genius to put games out unfinished.
