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.

They are certainly playable and there is no denying that. Its just not what I would call good optimization. Its 2016, we shouldn't just expect a game to be "playable" and give it a pass imo. And there have been several cases with several titles from MS where 970 and/or 390 had issues keeping up with a smooth 60fps at 1080p. Forza Horizon 3 for example. Fps can go down once a while sure, but it shouldn't go down that frequently.

I skip games generally cause if they aren't up to snuff by launch, by the time they are, a new game comes out that peaks my interest instead and its better optimized or exclusive to blah platform. Since I can't play two games at once, I just go with the better optimized one or exclusive.

True dat.

I don't think optimization needs to be ideal for a port to be considered, "good." As long as its playable product on reasoanble specs with better graphics, I don't think there needs to be so much complaining.

You can argue FH3 isn't where it should be on a 970 or 390, but its gonna look and play better than the X1 version. So lets not pretend those specs are just giving X1 visuals and performance.

If that game only intrigued becuase it was new... well I don't have a response to that. Just go playing something else and I look forward to inevitably seeing you in other threads just to complain about performance in new games. That will never get old...
