If they didn't take time to optimize for consoles, it's clear they didn't optimized for PC too. DX puts overhead on CPU so things went out of control again.
Reality is: Ubisoft had to use a lot of resources on Black Flag. And then they only had 1 year to deliver a game with a renewed engine for 3 platforms. To make things worse, they decided to make Rogue for 3 platforms too. When the game had to go gold, instead of delaying it and fixing it they just went "f*** consoles, let's put it at 900p and almost 30fps, f*** PC, just pump up the specs".
At least they are helping us to see how reviewers sucks. The game has 74 on Meta even if it's barely playable, while games like Ryse and Knack don't have it. I know these two games have their issues, but they at least work.
