I’m sitting here writing this up now because, well.. I’m not exactly “playing” the game, yet I feel like I should share a bit of my own cautious tale to confirm all the cautious tales circulating about The Last of us Part 1 on PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is among the worst PC ports I’ve played.. Not the worst, mind you, but it’s definitely up there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is before I even get to PLAY the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a pretty decent gaming rig; above the recommended specs, in fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My question is this: Why is it going to take over an hour to build the shaders for this game?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Believe it or not, this the GPU was being nearly maxed before I hit the actual game menu; now it’s just the CPU hitting things hard, with the GPU at 50-60%.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What’s even more insane is that the developers clearly KNOW it’s going to take a while because they started building them the moment you launched it, it seems. Performance throughout the introduction, menus and more is just ATROCIOUS. I’m talking multi-second freezes with no clear indication of what is going on. I didn’t even know the shaders were building until I got to the main menu and saw I had 5% of the shaders built (and that’s after looking through the variety of settings available at initial configuration).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m sitting at 16% right now while I type this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point, I don’t think I’m even going to have the time to play the game itself, and will instead have to come back to it tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and another not so good sign: The control indicators to get through the menu? Most of them all correspond to a normal keyboard key; arrow keys, R, space.. And then the “back” key is.. Well, you’d expect “Esc”, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, it’s just “Back”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They literally forgot to change the designation for the key in navigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Escape key functions as a back key, thankfully, without any remapping of controls. *update* <\/strong>Actually, the Escape key only functions as a back key in certain contexts.. In-game it apparently really means the backspace key, but that key doesn’t work in menu navigation for whatever reason.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I may have been a little prophetic when I noted the “Captured on PS5” screenshots on Steam<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s hoping they get a patched build out soon that fixes the numerous issues folks are having..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

..Or that Steam will honor refunds past the 2 hour mark because of the damned shader building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*sigh*.. 18%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*update*<\/strong> The entire process took about 75 minutes to build shaders and load a new game. This is.. Pretty ridiculous, honestly, so if you’re interested in the game, I’d suggest you wait for it to be optimized further; You’ll be blowing past the standard Steam refund time limit (2 hours) pretty quick thanks to shader builds, load times, and the game introduction.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
