What was a great game but was ruined by a bad port…?

What game did you really enjoy, but it was practically ruined when it got ported to another platform?

For me, it’s got to be the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV back then.

(Not that it “ruined” the whole game, but the experience was pretty rough.)

No games were ruined by Brad Pitt for this post.

GTA SA remaster has to be the worst… it felt like they only did it to make a mobile version.

GTA IV’s performance on PC was legendary in how bad it was.

And don’t forget that horrible Games For Windows Live. Made it even worse.

There’s a zombie version of that now with the Xbox friends thing on Windows. Microsoft keeps messing with it, hiding settings, and it never really works smoothly.

Resident Evil 5 had it until recently, if you didn’t have GFWL, you couldn’t even play it. Same reason Operation Raccoon City got pulled from Steam, I think.

@Gentry
I replayed that port last year because I’m a fan of Xbox achievements. Had to download GFWL and set a beta option in Steam for it to work. Weirdly, GFWL still connects to Xbox Live, probably due to Xbox 360 backward compatibility.

OP already used this as an example.

GTA 3, VC, SA were already on mobile before the “Definitive” Edition came out. Just felt like a money grab.

I was so hyped when the whole trilogy (3, VC, SA) was announced for Switch. But didn’t even get it on sale in the end. They really messed it up.

The remaster collection of GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas… Rockstar just ported the mobile versions instead of doing a proper remake. With all their money, there’s no excuse for releasing something in that state.

Glad I just kept the original games in my memory.

Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection… why’d they mess it up like that?!

I’ll never forgive them for what they did to Battlefront. They had years of feedback, so they knew what to improve, tons of mods showing what fans wanted. And still, they messed it up.

@Shiloh
Yeah, I tried playing for about two seconds before turning it off. So disappointing!

I heard it was bad, but how exactly was it bad?

But wasn’t it a remaster, not a port?
