I feel like the point needs to be made that this PC release seems bad even by From Software standards.

Yes, it's clear that from a technological standpoint FromSoft is lacking given their general lack of options, the fact they tie game speed to framerate, etc and they should be criticized for that but unless there's something I'm not remembering, I don't think any port after their initial DS1 port from way back had such poor performance or other issues. For me at least, DS2 (both versions), DS3 and Sekiro all ran flawlessly at a locked 60 FPS at maxed out settings.

And this doesn't appear to be an issue of the game being more technologically demanding either since people with very powerful PC's are still experiencing the same problems. And it goes beyond just being a bad PC port since the situation on console is not ideal either with neither mode doing what it's supposed to.
