I'll believe they actually optimized their PC port when their PC ports start showing some signs of effort at being actual PC ports
No FOV slider after FO76 had one is, to me, a great sign of how little Bethesda actually cares about the platform that keeps them popular (thanks to mods)
They don't want to put the work in for the biggest benefit of PC gaming.
I don't think any PC should be able to run a game well at max settings on release. Leave room for it to still look good five years from now.
And have the bare bones setting be able to work on shitty systems that do need upgraded.
Bethesda just wants to make games that run on a very small slice of PCs, and who can blame them when they can't even release a stable game on a single console? They're just not good at
This is the mentality they want you to have. And it's a shit one. PCs should be able to run any game well when it comes out.
Waaaaay too many people want that endorphin hit from setting everything to ultra.
Even if Medium looked exactly the same.
I'm gonna make a game where the graphics are basically the same at all presets, but with different filters. Crank the bloom and add a sepia filter, call it pro max or something.
“But this one goes to eleven”
The industry kind of did it to themselves. We had a really long period what 1080p was the default resolution and games really didn't even try to push graphics at all. Things kind of plateaued post-Crysis for about 10 years before I even felt like we had a game that looked significantly better than it did.
So a lot of people have gotten used to being able to hit ultra settings day 1 because their entire gaming life that's been possible.
