It averages at 27 because it holds 30 when absolutely nothing is happening. It plummets to low 20's/high teens whenever there's any sort of chaotic action going on, which unfortunately happens to be the entire point of the game.

Well, to be completely fair, that's one bad PC port. Consoles have had The Witcher 3, Mad Max, Syndicate, Fallout 4, Just Cause 3, Black Ops 3 (campaign mode), and Bloodborne (framepacing issues) this year alone.
Not shitting on anyone's favorite platforms, but this year has been generally really good for PC games.

Not knowing that a game performs badly is understandable, although I would ask why you wouldn't wait a few days to get solid reports on the version you are interested in. I am talking about fully knowing that a game performs badly and dismissing it as no big deal.

I wish more people understood that fact. We've had two full years of next gen releases and in almost every single Digital Foundry Face-Off the PC version easily came out on top, not only on the enthusiast end of the spectrum but also on the budget one, with the bargain bin Core i3/750Ti combo matching or even surpassing console performance.

Yeah, I don't remember a single terrible PC port since the beginning of this gen except ACU (which was also broken on consoles) and Arkham Knight. I wish people would realize it's an exception, not the rule.
Batman is really tired saying Hi in every console game tech analysis.
Poor Batman, is a hero.

Ok. Can people seriously stop bring up Batman on pc in every single game analysis thread where the console versions have a ton of performance issues as if Batman on pc is in anyway shape or form the norm or anywhere close to the state of what games most games on pc launch with? It's so asinine.

It already has become the 'fuel' for them though, which is kinda amusing.
That's what I'm betting, it's just that people with highspec PCs have so much surplus RAM that it takes a while till it is noticeable

Let Batman go, he deserves to die a hero and not be brought back in threads long enough to become the villain.
Honestly, out of all the great PC releases this year Batman is the huge exception.
You should've seen them last gen. Especially the Japanese side of things. Very poor games across the board, and they really didn't have much to boast about.
Considering how poorly most open world games have been running this, year it's pretty interesting that Witcher 3 came through it all the most unscathed. It had quite a few problems, but a lot of them were fixed over time.
I am having fun with Just Cause 3 but on a technical level it's a mess on PS4 as well. It seems like as soon as a certain amount of physics objects are doing their thing the frame rate just tanks. I noticed this right at the start of the game when they make you blow up that bridge. I suspect the bad CPU in these consoles are a bottleneck but as a dev you should then scale that physics interaction back. I am really not surprised they have always just shown off the PC version.
In regards to the load times, I have noticed the game having issues keeping a connection to the Square Enix servers. Telling it to go to offline mode doesn't help either because it will just try again after a couple of minutes. When I disconnect my console from the internet and the game doesn't try to connect all the time the load times are slightly better.
No crashes on PS4 here and I have probably played 15 to 20 hours.

I didn't hear that mentioned in the video. The talk of memory leaks is also just wild speculation on what could cause crashing.

This looks like badly optimized code and/or not enough time in the oven. When GTAV looks and runs much better than this crap, there is no excuse specially on the ps4

That's a real shame. Game looked like a LOT of fun.
You know, different team, different engine and different scope: JC3 is like an hulk game, you go around messing with thing, shoot everything you want, destroy everything, it's a very chaotic game. GTA is a lot slower then this even if it look better and have a lot of fun the only thing you can destroy are the cars.
The fact that this is terribly optimized is another thing but you know very different game and different budget.

Was on the fence about picking JC up this week or waiting till the new year. This seals it.

From what TotalBiscuit said, the pc version is decent but it needs a beefy computer, don't think you are going to move it at 60fps with a mid-spec machine.
Dips to 17fps seemed bad in that video. Terrible slowdown that makes the already clunky shooting seem even worse.
And 15 minute load times? That's completely unacceptable
.
Good God man stop creaming yourself.

This would be a safe and easy bet.
It is a technical mess from an optimisation standpoint sadly. It was much much worse before the day one patch though.
I'm unsure about the memory leak thing though, I played my Xbone online and had no long loading issues, yet when online with the servers constantly disconnecting and reconnecting (including mid load) is when I encountered the crazy long load issue a couple of times.

They confirmed that was the case a long time ago. If I remember right the first we saw of a console version were leaked streams on Twitch.

Too bad it's not cross gen. Then it would only struggle on 360&PS3.
You're lucky then, because it looks like a clusterfuck.
Hopefully I'll be getting my copy today, so I can give it a good going over.

How is he able to figure out the game has memeory leaks?
From the crashes?

Yeah I'm sure when they designed these consoles a mid spec PC would have cost £349???
Gradual increase of load times on plays of over an hour?
If an application runs worse over time, especially resulting in io-related things, it's a good indicator for memory leaks.
He's guessing based on performance clues that could indicate a memory leak. Signs do indicate it could be.
EDIT: beaten like a slow ass load time

Memory leaks still....I'm sure there was a memory leak on jc1 pc that never got fixed....had to restart the game every half hour to speed it up again.

A 15 minute wait to load your save if you play for over an hour?
Yeah, I'm out. There's no way I'm dealing with that.
