Line 440:
* ''[[Bully (video game)|Bully]]: Scholarship Edition'' for the PC looks like something the [[Warhammer 40,000|Orks]] dropped out of the sky, The outside areas are 100% washed out, the graphics, while sublime, glitch often, the sounds glitch horribly, the control scheme is god-awful (particularly when the player is told to "press <mousewheel up> and <mousewheel down> together") and the mouse control is like moving a joystick stuck in cold porridge.
* The PC port of ''[[Saints Row]] 2'' performs badly even with a good enough computer to play decent PC games. Changing resolution into the lowest 640x480 didn't help with the frustratingly-slow driving sequences. Talking about unstable framerate, it performs well on the on-foot missions. An update to the was supposed to make the game '120% faster', a case of Writers Cannot Do Math as it actually made the game 20% faster. It still wasn't smooth, but it was definitely playable.
** Thankfully ''Saints Row 2'' has a fantastic community that has not only brought the game back to its intended speed but added plenty of neat content. [https://web.archive.org/web/20131027164904/http://idolninja.com/ You can check it out here]
* The PC port of the ''[[Iron Man]]'' [[The Problem with Licensed Games|game of the film]] had graphics from the [[PlayStation 2]] version rather than the superior Xbox 360 or [[Play Station 3]] ones, just for starters.
* The PC port of Prototype is very picky about what qualifies as "recommended system specifications". This troper has a PC that can play Portal 2, Mass Effect 3 and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood with little trouble. Prototype struggles with maintaining a double digit frame rate on the menus, not to mention the game itself! There were also issues with audio sounding exceptionally muffled and other issues. Definitely not one of the best ports out there.
