BOTW's performance issues factored into a number of reviews and that game is right up there with Elden Ring. Did you actually read every review? Or even realize that people acknowledge the performance issues but it doesn't detract from their overall experience with the game?
This is fairly bad.
I obviously didn't read every review, but I read and listened to a lot of them. Some referenced performance, some didn't. Those that referenced performance pretty much hand waved it away as "well it's a FROM game".
For me, for a 60fps game anything between ~50-60 with VRR engaged is virtually imperceivable unless there's frame pacing issues.
Lmao yeah I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Min of 45 FPS is light years better than pretty much any FS release. No way I'm going back to 3 minute load times for a slightly more stable frame rate.
No biggie! I doubt I would have downloaded PS4 version anyway, since I'm pretty low on storage.
It works one way. Your saves can be transferred from the PS4 version to the PS5 version but not back.
Obviously that's a nonsense argument, but it does beg the question how a game with quite obvious performance issues, can score a 97, particularly when other games over the years have been docked points for similar things.
If they capped it at 30fps we would probably get terrible frame pacing because they don't know how to fix that either.
This is a misrepresentation of what VRR is and does. All it does is match your display's refresh rate with the actual framerate thus eliminating judder. You'll stil see and feel framerate drops. Of course the higher your framerate the less of an issue framerate drops with VRR become.
