I will make a definition, a good PC port is one that works with little or no crashing. As long as its PLAYABLE with reasonable specs, its good.

Anywho, all of MS's releases have been improved post release so if you don't like where they are at launch just wait. We are at a point where almost every game gets significant patches post launch, console or PC.

I am not a fan of that definition. My definition is that a good port must run at specs that makes sense. For example, a game should not require 970/390 in order to match x1's graphical settings.  A 390/970 should at a minimum, go beyond (to a certain degree) that with a smooth 60fps lock at 1080p.

Thats exactly what I do but I generally wait for a sale while I am at it or forget about it and skip it completely. And personally, I don't like that games require post patches in order to work the way it's meant to be at launch. Yes, that seems to be a thing these days on all platforms but it shouldn't be hence why I vote with my wallet.

All of MS's releases are playable with less than a 970 or a 390, those cards give performance and graphics well above X1 is doing.

If you're going to skip a game completely because the optimization isn't exactly where you want, then you probably didn't care about the game to begin with.

Waiting for price cuts its fine, especially when you consider most games tend to get better months after release.
