Fr, i bought far cry 3 but everytime I've played it for the last 6 years I've always used a pirated ver. No need to use Ubisoft's f*cked launcher, game launches with good settings instead of breaking everytime, the screen settings don't break whenever I uninstall it and decide to re-install it months later, runs smoother, etc etc Honestly it's surprising how many games are playable only becase the community around it cares more about it running well than the devs/publishers

I hope this doesn't deter you from working on your remake/remaster video. From what I've heard, the MW remake is heralded as one of the best remakes for a game. Perhaps that sentiment may resonate if you play it on the consoles?

[@vullord666]

This is also a great setup for them. Remasters are often a low effort cash grab either to resell a popular game or to resell a game that isn't available anymore because console exclusives. And that many times work worse than the original or not at all. Remakes are generally higher quality effort endeavors that can sometimes be entirely different games.

[@GabeAllz57]

MWR was an incredible game, from a love letter remake of an iconic campaign that added even more tiny details to get the nerds like me to pop, to an incredible remake of a game changing multiplayer. Say what you want about supply drops and MTX, I think they were handled the best they’d been until mw2019 onwards and the guns they added fit the time period and aesthetic, along with the ridiculously cool skins (not camos, think more of the modern day blueprints) that you could add to any weapon in a class once you unlocked it.

I was a PC guy from 2008 to 2014, but my PC was always underpowered and I had to troubleshoot old games or play newer games on low settings and low FPS, so for the eight generation I went with a PS4 and I have no regrets, I bought PS+, they gave away MW Remastered one month, played it, had a pretty good time and moved on. Now, in 2022, i have a PC again (nothing too fancy, 16 gigs of ram, Ryzen 5 5600, a 3060, not the best but it runs the games I want to at decent settings) and man... I did not miss all the troubleshooting, I was trying to play Deus Ex (the first one) and installed some mods to increase compatibility with modern systems and add support to Dx12, that installed easy, the problem was the guy who made the mod made it so that his PayPal is basically locked in your copy paste as long as the game is open, so there i was, 1 in the morning editing a fricking hexadecimal file to stop a modders shilling.

You just summed up perfectly why most of the time I stick to consoles even though they will always be the weaker hardware. The constant danger of a game not running or even starting in the first place just because my PC is lacking some programms or whatever is simply not worth it to me. Sure the Switch is the weakest new nintendo console but has a ton of games that run just fine and look good enough on it. The one thing that is true for now is the fact that there are way too few exclusives on PS5 so yeah, no reason to get it but it doesn't matter since I still have a huge backlog on PS3 and 4 to go through (let alone some other older consoles too). The game works just fine on PS4 and besides the typical microtransaction bullshit in multiplayer doesn't really have many negatives to it so the title is kinda misleading since it's just the PC version that sucks here... Edit: grammar

[@LeonserGT]

You know, I didn't expect a 'game video' on youtube to be _that_ relatable. And friends were always saying "oh, how it's always you who have issues like this, clearly you have something wrong with your PC" (= skill issue) for every trouble I mention encountering, while steam forums and guides are filled with ppl complaining about it and searching for solutions. At this point, for older games, I check guides section before even launching to make sure there aren't mandatory 100 hoops to jump through to make it launch. And it fucking baffles me how big companies release their AAA product in this sorry ass state and refuse to fix. As someone in the gamedev myself, we consider far smaller bugs to be a "blocker" and absolute no-no for a release, this shit happens. One more reason to ignore AAA industry in general and play only indies or oldies.

They are really bad with updates.

Meaning when you join a multiplayer game a malicious actor could do almost anything to your pc. It's insane. Steam stepped in and removed the multiplayer tag from the game store page but that isn't really helpful. If you haven't played this game in a while and wanted to just check if it's still alive you get no warning or nothing when launching it. And the games are still sold on storefronts. I feel like this should probably be illegal in some form. The publisher is still around, they sell the game, they know about the issues, they have the option to fix it or at a bare minium inform the users when they try to play the game yet they sit there doing nothing. This isn't just some small crash or some little bug, it opens up the possibility of someone stealing your passwords and the likes.

[@backslash_iii]

Been PC gaming since the DOS days - I can report that things are easier today than they ever have been, but it's still much of the same launch-day woes of the 90s. At least back then, you could phone up the company that made the game and they'd be able to steer you in the right direction of getting your new game to work properly. Now you have to hope they tweet about it on twitter or hear about a potential fix coming OTA through the grapevine. Forums can help sometimes, but that's still the blind leading the blind.

[@samwill7259]

I still prefer PCs for the moment, at least most PCs CAN be troubleshooted whereas if something fucks up on a console you're basically SOL

[@ThisBirdHasFlown]

Not true. The only time something fucks up on a console is when the console itself is damaged, or today when games release broken and everyone has the same issue, in which case it's guaranteed to see a fix. Issues on PC can be very common yet never receive patches, because the problem is still too isolated to be priority for the developer given how many hardware and software configurations there are. The software itself is extremely unlikely to be broken because it's designed to run on the same system everywhere. As someone who played on consoles for years, I don't recall ever experiencing an issue out of my control besides my Xbox itself being faulty and in need of replacement, which is a different subject entirely. Meanwhile, it feels like every second game on PC has issues I need to go out of my way to fix, and I've been playing on PC for way longer than consoles.

Im grateful I only have a laptop that can barely run csgo and that I got this game for free with the purchase of a PS4 with no problems whatsoever. In the future I want to build my own PC but probably only to be able to install as many addons for gmod without waiting an entire afternoon to load the game and my laptop being able to cook breakfast.

I'm late to the party here but the Remastered made me quit COD. I was totally into the series since 4. Loved the series. A bit ironic that my love of the series started with this game. A decade of fun and once I saw what Activision did to a title that I just wanted to relive old college memories with, I knew I couldn't trust them. I've been better for it ever since.

[@SaarlaneKretiin]

i have had none of the these experiences and i have a much worse pc, idk might be a newer hardware issue?

[@blukat9903]

I personally love troubleshooting it makes it gives me an inside to how the game works and it feels so rewarding when the game actually works

[@Pooski_]

Thank god I have a console, All I have to wait for is people calling me a cracker or something on Xbox. The most fun you can have playing cod multiplayer Is getting insulted by everyone in a lobby tbh, never fails to crack me up.

[@Pooski_]

@@user-nq7db3cv7t never played much on the 360 because I wasn’t interested in it. But I do know I played it once at a friends house and learned what the hard r was and told my parents it, fun time.

[@Pooski_]

@@user-nq7db3cv7t I was still Xbox, I was just not into cod. I was mainly a halo guy who played with my dad lol.

[@Pooski_]

@@user-nq7db3cv7t I too did but rarely played cause my dad only could play when my mom was gone or when my brother was asleep. Honestly I snuck in a few behind my parents back just because It was funny.

[@lildagmaster5584]

Your videos are amazing bro love your insight on all the videos you have released, well done!

[@cheesyfromindonesia9969]

I just downloaded COD: MW Remastered today (totally legally) and in Act 1 on the mission The Bog, I can't even get pass the cut scene because it says like GPU is restraining the action on the a bunch of specific files like shit bro

[@finnwhelan8442]

Disable shader prelude settings. That worked for me.

[@henrycolvin3473]

Thank you so much, I have had these exact thoughts stewing in my brain ever since I switched to pc and feel so seen.

[@Tankgrazeguy]

When i first played MW remastered i didn't have any issues of the game not launching but the game did keep freezing on one mission until i figures out i had something wrong with the game setting and it did the trick. Edit:I recently got cod cold war on steam and it keeps crashing and i try to fix it by verify the files and reinstalling the game but it didn't work so i guess this is how he feels.

[@KOWolf]

The best thing about the PS5 exclusivity joke is that less than a week after you uploaded this, 2 of those 5 games had PC ports announced

[@expio4257]

I feel like I must have the magic setup or something since I've only ever had a few issues with MWR. It runs well on my honestly kind of mid PC, I never got the "out of memory" error, and the crashing I found I could fix my not having the game preload during cutscenes. So maybe do that? Or just use H1 mod, it makes everything better even if it was already working fine for people like me.

[@muhnoodles]

>has issue with a steam game >first reaction isnt to check the forums Skill issue, user error, etc. etc.

[@jvlivsakamaxiaid]

I just bought this game and I can't get it to launch either, not even an error code will show, it just closes upon startup

[@byron9202]

same it’s frustrating asf

[@ShyterTheGoat]

IF YOU ARE HAVING ISSUES I JUST RELEASED A VIDEO SHOWING THE EASY FIX!!! FOR MULTIPLAYER

[@RowanBird779]

Troubleshooting is generally easier when most of the things you try are related to the error

[@ScottieTheFox]

had me until "the remaster was unneeded"

[@Tinkuwu]

Out of memory error sounds like a Page Pool Memory error.

[@youtuberobbedmeofmyname]

I had a similar experience. COD WaW on PC has run out of multiplayer CD Keys. So in other words you can still buy WaW but not play Multiplayer or Zombies. Refunded last year after 2 hours of troubleshooting, no regrets.

[@ProfessionalCerealEater]

There's a fix, just use plutonium you can use mods and working multiplayer without getting RATTED.

[@youtuberobbedmeofmyname]

@@ProfessionalCerealEater Yeah I wish plutonium existed like two years ago when they ran out of keys lol Edit: I mean existed to me. Never heard plutonium until now.

[@404Errored]

@@youtuberobbedmeofmyname Wait what? How does something run out of keys if it's still being sold? Doubly so as this is a game from 2008 so wasn't it just sold complete? That sounds like some kind of digital scarcity nonsense.

[@bullymaguire243]

This aged so well

[@ryanwaignwright6857]

“Troubleshooting a pc game is basically just doing computer house chores” isn’t that the most accurate thing I’ve ever heard

[@scorchedham9842]

This is why i have a console, this is just too complicated for me.

[@LostMyPowerArmor]

similar thing happened to me with Alan Wake,And after crushing my brain for 3 days I just refunded the game.

For me, modern warfare remastered was one of the best fps games when it came for performance, and i have a laptop with GTX 1650.

[@tommiedev]

You ignored the game's warning and refused to get a refund, but you finally figured out how to make it work. Congrats, you're officially a master of stubbornness!

[@quisquiliarum7710]

as someone who could launch the game... yeaaah not even worth it. Worst hit-reg problems I've ever seen in an FPS

[@CoolSs]

funny story . for some reason . i too had problem with the original cod 4 mw . where it keep crashing . i end up downloading a cracked exe file FOR MY LEGITIMATE COPY OF THE GAME that i bought from steam . to fix it .

[@jacobothy]

What’s funny too is that i bought the Infinite Warfare with MWR bundle for like $20. And I got no error 12. Not yet at least.

[@kingcronecker]

Play Modern Warfare 2019 on the Series X. It's the first game I played on a next gen system. It was almost the last. I had to check that I hadn't accidentally put it in my 360.

[@ThisBirdHasFlown]

I hope that's a joke as that would be impossible. Anyway, that's a completely different subject to the video. What was wrong with 2019 exactly?
