Which PC games are the most poorly optimized?
It started working eventually, though it didn’t function at first. When you turned on AA, the game crashed. A poorly optimized title like Batman: Arkham City also had issues, but it became playable later.
GTA IV (runs bad even with my 290) Watch Dogs Call of Duty: Ghosts Metro 2033 Arma II (DayZ too) Minesweeper Saints Row 2 Adventures of Slickenia: The Incredible Linus (running on the Pickle engine)
Frequently watching Watch Dogs made me consider purchasing it later, but now I might avoid it.
Command and Conquer Generals uses the SAGE engine, which struggles with pathfinding in real-time strategy games. Its performance is so poor it leads to system slowdowns, similar to a 7 fps drop after extended gameplay.
It didn't work with my 3Ghz dual core processor at the lowest settings—only around 30fps. At least a 2ghz processor was needed. The GPU didn’t cause any bottlenecks. I really enjoyed the game and it still provides one of the most enjoyable co-op experiences.
Based on my perspective, watchdogs and Spider-Man are quite impressive. This discussion could benefit from a more focused reference so others know which titles to skip. We should also steer clear of justifying poor performance with phrases like 'it pushes hardware to the limits.' Bad speed isn't something to be proud about. While some PC enthusiasts claim otherwise, we need to avoid supporting these games.
