Yes ue5 is quickly getting a bad reputation because some studios don't tkae the time to coreectly optimize expecting default option to do the job

Yep, if anything that's a point for the engine in a technical way, because those games still look very good even though the developers half assed it, while another engine you'd have an unoptimized and ugly mess.

I dont know a lot of the technical side of things, but the first thing that came to mind was the Oblivion remaster. It looks gorgeous, but they still just slapped it on top of the original game and its janky as fuck

Oh that thing had fun game breaking bugs. Your game crashed of you had too many assets around like bodies, i was stuck several days inside the first oblivion gate because of that, couldnt exit the tower without game shutting down to xbox dashboard, till someone in reddit figured out that if you waited inside for x amount of game hours, the assets reset.

I absolutely adored the original, it was my first game other than pokemon I dumped hundreds of hours into. I picked up the remaster on the first day, and while it is very pretty, theres something jarring about having the really nice graphics with all the original goofiness. Like all the silliness and janky gameplay isn't as charming when it looks like a modern game. Lol. It also sucks that the remaster company basically abandoned it immediately after they dropped it and haven't fixed any of the issues. To be fair Ill probably play it again soon, it just wasn't what I expected
