    Мы, Россияне, не виноваты ни в чём. Мы не виноваты в этой войне, по какой причине вы нас обокрали? Мы требуем вернуть нам Elden Ring, пока это требование не будет исполнено, мы будем опускать рейтинг игры.

    Oh and performance is horrible, seems like no company tries to optimize games anymore, they just want you to have a **** ultimate generation gamer pc with a 2k graphics card. don't know if it have to do with open world or something but i have a ryzen 7 5700, 16 ram, ssd and gtx 660 and fps drop is **** insane.
    Just another company that goes for the profits and not for the player experience.    … Expand

    Elden ring is definitely my best of the souls, a masterpiece in some respects, but ...

    Free multiplayer, no more summons, change summons by zone, you just want multiplayer, base the game on that.
    One last thing, this lore thing is a bit out of hand, make a real story, just read descriptions from, put some cutscene, the tokens for the npc to talk to, give a form of path, in a open world it is extremely difficult to find the characters hidden in the map    … Expand

    Enemies are invisible and it’s only a dot still after 2 weeks of its release. So people still say study their animation to defeat them, I really want to say how? It’s rendering the game not playable. And I ask for refund.

When you then swap to a keyboard, the game will permanently display controller buttons instead of keyboard keys, so you have no clue how to do anything.

    There's no fix.

    Having watched my fiance play it gives me more complaints. The game will often drop to the single digit framerates when you get too close to the border of a new major area of the open world and it will certainly end in your demise if you happen to be in a fight at the time. The PC the happens on is using an RTX 3090 and a Ryzen 5050X, so you can't blame the hardware. It's a well know problem that you can find via any google search from the very first result. Even bing finds it.

    Furthermore the story is bland and has been used by dozens of other games and the character names are so bad they make me cringe. This is nothing but a reskinned, partially replaced 3d model clone of Demon's Souls on PS3, just like every other souls game. There's nothing special about it and it doesn't even remotely deserve a score like metacritic gives it even when it's working.

    This is a huge slap in the face to the truly great games who have upper 90s score, like the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, Ocarina of Time, and others. I strongly suspect bribes went into this as well as a societal obsession with George RR Martin who only gets notoriety for managing to get full nudity and sex a dozens times per episode onto HBO. I suppose it saves on porn subscriptions. Personally, I'll choose the latter option any day. Porn stories are somehow less cringeworthy than Elden Ring's story and I could never in my life have imagined saying any story is worse than C-list porn.    … Expand

    Elden Ring is a poorly optimized and poorly exexuted attempt at a Soul-Borne game. Frequent stutters and screen tearing have plagued my experience. The music is short and repeatative, bringing back nighmares of the battle theme from the werehog sections of Sonic Unleashed. The graphics are detailed but it seems as if FromSoftware designed them to be displayed through a grayscale printer.

    for a 2022 game the issues can't be accepted, dropped frames and game freezing on bosses are the most serious issues but it's an open world game npcs look like dummies maybe it's the lack of open world experience, but a game delivered like this at full price is not worth it, I hope they solve the most serious problems and manage to save the game.

    - Lags on Release on pretop specs computer
    - Boring soundtrack(except Main Theme)
    - Fromsoftware repeats oneself, plagiarize gamedesing and mechanics from DS3
    - Repeating over and over similar bosses
    - lack of improvement or change in game mechanics(except for JUMPing with a separate key)
    - devastating Final Boss and endings
    - weak and useless magic

It's a slapped-on gimmick and makes Cyberpunk's terribly dead open world look lively. The UI is pure horror, as is standard for FS, but surprisingly the game also backtracks on some of the good changes from Sekiro, namely a relatively sane combat system and logical gameplay progression.

    Elden Ring is an experience that will not be forgotten in a hurry. It's a tremendous, hulking, massive achievement but because it is tremendous, hulking and massive, it is one that comes with many caveats. The shelves in CeX and conversations with people who stopped playing at Stormveil castle can certainly attest to some of those caveats. Much like any FromSoftware title, it's not going to be for everybody, but paradoxically it is one of their hardest and one of their most accessible to date. It offers huge value in one package, and perhaps is a little too much value, only becoming clearer when nearing the endgame. Don't be mistaken by the criticism, though. This is a phenomenal achievement with a moment-to-moment that is incredibly engaging and immersive. No doubt it will be deserving of the end-of-year accolades it will inevitably receive. One pushes through Elden Ring as one pushes through life, with all the highs and the lows that it brings.

    Elden Ring is massive, sometimes to its detriment. A thorough walkthrough might take up more than 100 hours to complete, and at some point it becomes clear that From Software did not have enough manpower to produce that much unique content. Still, it remains incredibly addictive even after those 100 hours pass…

    It’s hard to review Elden Ring without being comparative; that’s because Elden Ring is an evolutionary step, not a revolutionary one, and one can’t help but see how it’s built on what came before. Here is a massive undertaking of a game, not for the sake of chasing trends but as the natural progression of the style the company has been fostering for over a decade. It’s amazing how smoothly the transition to open world was and how much of the Souls identity is still present. In the short time since its release, it has already left a cultural mark, no doubt a result of the game’s increased approachability. Even after sifting past all the hype and grandiosity, there’s still an excellent game left and Elden Ring is a clear showcase of FromSoftware’s outstanding expertise in the field. Elden Ring really is just that good.
