"The Last of Us is the latest PC port to bomb, and players are beyond fed up"
Shit like this, friends and neighbors, boys and girls, is why we shouldn't be buying video games at launch. I don't care if they're PC ports of console games or multi-platform releases or exclusive to PC/console or whatever. These days, games are almost invariably going to be no vacancy roach motels when they're first released, so you're better off waiting a while before buying the hot new shit. This has been my policy[1] for over 10 years now, and I have not once regretted that decision.
[1] - Though, admittedly, said policy was more in response to bullshit DLC practices than it was in response to games being bug-filled nightmares at launch, but it's definitely helped me to avoid the buggy messes as well. (Unless it was something like Fallout 4, which was still a buggy mess, even when I finally bought the full game [i.e. the "base" game + all DLC], five years after initial release of the "base" game.)
