this list we’ll be looking at the
videogames with a good bad or entirely
terrible that run poorly on their
respective consoles suffering from
staggering framerate drops and
horrendous glitches you’ve been warned
this is gonna get ugly what are you
talking about
number 10 sonic boom rise of lyric Oh
[Music]
Sonic how far you’ve fallen funds of the
franchise held their breath for the
umpteenth time hoping that maybe this
time the blue speedster would finally be
back in top form yet that didn’t happen
it’s bad enough that the new look for
Sonic & Company was arguably pretty ugly
but the constant slowdown and game
breaking bugs didn’t do the experience
any favors either the games poor
performance is so bad at times that some
people consider it to be an even more
broken down mess than the infamously
disastrous Sonic oh 6 was yonks at the
very least the glitches can be hilarious
in their own right so that’s a something
right we had it but who can sleep with
that thing around is like living on the
Sun never knowing Pokemon Sun and Moon
[Music]
this recent installment into the Pokemon
series certainly made great use of the
portables hardware delivering dense
colorful environments brimming with life
and personality unfortunately all of
that graphical fidelity comes with a
price the improved visuals were
extremely taxing on the 3ds as there is
notes will slow down in much busier
locations things take a really nasty
turn whenever you’re engaged in a battle
involving four separate Pokemon as the
game chugs along as a drastically lower
frame rate the new 3ds despite its
advanced hardware as a hard time running
this one so just imagine the standard
old 3ds actually don’t it’s not pretty
while the art style of past Souls games
were always wonderful
the graphics themselves were never
anything to marvel at the first next-gen
soul style game to take advantage of the
ps4’s powerful hardware the ps4 was able
to render massive levels with incredible
detail and polish once again spectacular
visuals resulted in serious framerate
issues especially in heated combat
sections struggling to keep up with the
game’s frantic pace additionally at
launch blood-borne suffered from
excruciating ly long loads inés
patches have since fixed it but it’s
still not perfect
[Music]
anyone who owned a ps1 back in the 90s
undoubtedly remembers the blistering
action-packed intensity that was the
twisted metal series there was nothing
quite like dozens of cars zooming around
a contained setting all blowing each
other to smithereens with highly
explosive weaponry and herein lies part
of the problem the amount of carnage on
screen at one time proves to be quite a
bit for the console to handle all at
once things slowed down to a crawl when
in split-screen mode where you can
probably count two Mississippi’s in
between each frame we understand why the
performance was so Blair here but that
number six crisis at the time of release
gamers were mind blown by the realistic
graphics of crisis and hey we don’t
really blame them everything from the
water to the fire to the foliage was top
notch and photorealistic
even the physics engine was pretty
impressive now what’s the trend we’ve
noticed here amazing visuals tend to
come with performance issues and Crysis
is no exception even the strongest of
pcs had a tough time running this game
so can you imagine how the console ports
banned in comparison the usual suspects
are here framerate dips graphical bugs
the whole situation can only be
described as well
number 5 toric to seeds of evil the n64
was able to render some visually
impressive games and one of the best
examples was the second Torah game at
seeds of evil
complete with gargantuan levels detailed
enemies and advanced particle effects
and lighting seeds of evil was way ahead
of its time
the poor n64 must have been screaming on
the inside and it shows as the game’s
framerate takes a huge hit from the
beginning of the game straight to the
end the developers tried to use fog of
thanks to give the console less to deal
with but it didn’t do much in the grand
scheme of things
oh well still fun to blow up mute
number four perfect dark speaking of
visual marvels on the n64 let’s turn our
attention to res Stella first-person
shooter
perfect dark pushing the console to its
limits and utilizing the expansion pack
for extra horsepower this game is easily
one of the most stunning on the platform
but once again there was a trade-off
having to render these visuals and the
fast paced action in conjunction proved
a bit too much for the n64 frequent
performance issues especially in heated
shootout sections were quite common
multiplayer is another story entirely
with the game running so slow we feared
number three Shadow of the Colossus did
you know that technically speaking the
ps2 has the weakest Hardware of its
generation you wouldn’t guess that by
looking at mesmerizing visual
masterpieces like Shadow of the Colossus
with its wide open landscape gigantic
bosses and near zero low times all
things considered this scheme shouldn’t
even be working at all on the platform
and that notion seeps through in the
gameplay the framerate dips constantly
providing a very choppy and occasionally
sluggish pace to the action on screen
the game is still fantastic yes but it
certainly benefitted from the ps3 port
years later with the ps4 remake now
released Shadow of the Colossus has
finally been given the technical and
number two The Last Guardian speaking of
Team Ico they say Lee took their time
after shadow of the colossus their
latest title The Last Guardian was
released 11 years later
well that lengthy development time must
mean it’s polished from top to bottom
right know while the game is beautiful
there is an almost inexcusable amount of
framerate drop throughout sucking the
life out of moments that were meant to
be either moving or thrilling even on
the more advanced ps4 pro the game still
suffers from a magnitude of technical
hiccups a decade in development and they
avert your eyes children look away all
the other games on this list suffered
from graphical blemishes and framerate
drops you could still you know actually
play them virtual highlight on the other
hand adds a new level of frustration to
the mix the games attempt to recreate
photo realistic environments led to the
Sega Saturn just giving up on
performance literally nothing feels all
Lux right with any movement made by the
player causing the game to stutter and
lag on an implausible level of fat
anyone who is beaten let alone played
this disaster should get their eyes
examined because it’s just a downright
nauseating experience do you agree with
