You know it's a console port when...

... the only video option is brightness.

"Press Start/Enter/Space to Continue"

...Checkpoint reached

when you need a gamepad in order to play the game b/c they didnt make keyboard controls..

deosnt this belong in System Wars?

Also, I agree with this. Not having video settings in a PC game is disgraceful.

Picture from Ninja Blade PC version

A picture is worth a thousand words

When the game is saving it appears" Please do not turn off the PC." lol as if it was that easy..

When the games have subpar graphics and poor performance.

When there isn´t any graphics option.

when you can't die

When you can't open chests and boxes by clicking on them, but by approaching them and pressing a key (Dungeon Siege 3).

When the tutorial references pressing buttons X,Y , A, B, LT, RT :P

You can't lean around corners (FPS)

When the game starts up without any problems :P

....... "PRESS START" is the first you see ?

When its published by Activi$ion.

When stats, inventories, and equipment are removed.

- 'Do not turn off your console when you see this icon'

- 40 FOV

- Cant strafe while sprinting or strafe buttons change to turning.

When it gets delayed with no improvements

Low FoV

No graphics options

No server browser

There's no proper keyboard/mouse controls

Your name is Crysis 2 :D

..the coolest fighting animations for your character are generated from a quick time event!

When a game is made by Gearbox after 2001.

all of the above

It's a game made by DICE.

When the game contains a UI that is HUGE.

When it's clearly designed for consoles(play Dungeon Siege 3, good lord at the controls, plays better with a controller than a keyboard+mouse even though it's the other way around for the previous games).

"Checkpoint reached"

"Don't turn off your console" (Yeah, some game developers really are THAT lazy)

Quicktime events

No quicksave

HUD is huge.

Limited graphic options.

Changing key bindings is a hassle.

Mouse control feels like you're swimming through a box of jello.

etc.

Ughh I only have to look at the first page and I already hate this thread to death. The term console port is the most overused and miss used term I have seen in gaming.

This is about being a console port, not PC port.

@people who are saying "checkpoint reached" Crysis 1 had a checkpoint system... Anyway... When the graphics look like the console version on the highest settings When the mouse sensitivity is set to low by default. Quicktime Events Limited graphics options. Bulletstorm, I'm looking at you.QWERTYCommander

Checkpoints were really just for saving the game, which you could disable entirely.

No quicksave...ugh. F-you Crysis 2.

Why do you need a quick save key if you don't really need it? Crysis 2 is not a very difficult game and the checkpoints aren't far apart unlike in Crysis 1.

When it shows you the Xbox Start button to level your skills. Like in Deus Ex Human Revolution!

Crysis 2 is the biggest console port IMO this year so far.

Maybe its because I don't have stupid standards that destroy my enjoyment of the games I am playing. I'd argue that some gamers here don't even care how good a game is. They just want a game that caters to their PC standards. Most of these issues that PC gamers are complaining about are so minor and have almost nothing to do with the actual game.

A game like the Witcher 2 hardly even has a PC UI or controls. That doesn't stop it from being one of the best PC games this year...

Honestly I have no issues with Gearbox and like a lot of their games. I just feel that all of their games after the Half-Life expansions were designed for a console and ported to PC. It isn't really a bad thing but the thread did ask for when you know its a console port.

Whats the big deal? Just press the enter key, how does that hamper your enjoyment in anyway? I have seen far more PC exclusive games that force you to use the mouse to navigate the menus instead of simply pressing keys on the keyboard. That is not a sign of a "console port," that's simply a sign of bad design.

I agree, some people expect perfection TBH and that's not easy.

O.o This thread has gotten really heated. I wasn't really bashing on console ports, I was hoping for some light-hearted jabs instead of hate-fuelled bashing :P I actually only made it because I replayed Mass Effect 2 and the video options were resolution and brightness, which i thought was pretty funny :lol:

...input is laggy, low res textures, and messed up FOV
