@imalwaysright So you should know how shitty the PC port is but hey people’s standards these days…

Aside from a few framerate drops here and there so far I haven't experienced any other technical difficulties and considering that I played Demon's and especially Dark Souls on my PS3 and I still find them to be the best games of that generation you should be able to tell that I also don't give a damn about your standards.

@imalwaysright I wouldn’t you expect you to care that would make you a simp…are you a simp?

I guess.... i mean they do stay true to there Vision
maybe?

As good as the game is if they were the best studio in the world they would have optimised it better. It hovers around 45 fps at 1080p with early PS4 graphics. Blueprint managed to get a beautiful looking DS to 1440 at a solid 60.

They can craft a world, definitely, but they need to learn how to optimise their game engines. They can only reasonably be deemed the best studio in the world if they are capable of delivering the whole package, and with Elden Ring they fail. Great game, but the current state of the game - especially on PC - leave a lot to be desired.

I'm playing on PS5 and while I love the art style I do think that graphically it's like an early PS4 game at times, and even in performance mode the framerate isn't exactly stable. Nothing game breaking but I think we've all come to expect more nowadays.

I’m playing on PC as well, and the game is so much more the I expected. It’s like Elder Souls of the Wild, and I can’t stop playing. 3080 Ti / AMD 5900x, buttery smooth 21:9 with DLDSR at 5120x2160 using Flawless Ultrawide mod. No issues other than a rare stutter. Using Dual Sense with Steam and jt plays awesome. Absolutely loving it. I’m sure PC specs make a difference on the PC related issues, but it is running nearly flawless for me on Windows 11. I hope they fix it up so it runs better on slow machines so that more gamers can enjoy it. It’s a gem.

Sure and there are many other studios out there that should learn how to craft games that offer me the same experience that FromSoftware games do. Yesterday I finally managed to kill Maigret or whatever his name was and when I did it I literally closed my fist and yelled a roar of victory. The last time I experienced that feeling was with another FromSoftware game so what do I care about the optimization in other games when none of them are even close to be able to give me this experience? I'll take FromSoftware games with a few technicall issues over other games that are better optimised but aren't able to give me that experience and FromSoftware aren't just masters at providing that feeling. They mastered a lot of specific things in game design and when you add them up then you have a studio that is on a level of its own.

I actually prefer their Armored Core games, I miss that franchise so much, I hate how they're forever making Demon/Dark Souls type games now.
