This might be GOTY but when we still possibly have GOW Ragnarok and BOTW2 releasing this year it really is too early to say that. People thought RDR2 and GTA5 would dominate GOTY too b/c they had a 97/98

If it holds at 97, would be one of the best rated games of all time. And if you look at just the last 15 years (or whatever you define as a modern window), would be even better. Can't wait.

This is going to become my favorite game of all time I can feel it. Granted I have greatly disliked some other high scoring games but I just know From isn't going to let me down.

Holy shit

I was expecting plenty of praise and accolades but I was not ready to see it set the gaming world ablaze like this

Absolutely incredible climb for these talented developers!

I played it at 4K, 1440p and 1080p. 4K and 1440p at High/Ultra settings, 1080p on a different machine with med/high. Ultrawide is not supported, you'll just have a 16:9 with black bars.

Embargo is over, I can talk about everything.
Does the game show/specify it's use of Easy Anti-Cheat upon load? Is there any visible way to disable it and only play offline? I ask this, not for my first playthrough, but for subsequent playthroughs and modded playthroughs where you can quickly alter stats and load outs to switch builds and test crazy stat distributions out. I really enjoyed doing some and watching a lot of that sort of content and modded playthroughs of previous souls games and I worry that the inclusion of Easy Anti-cheat will stop those from happening in the future.

i mean, Martin didnt write the story no? he helped with the lore.

the story is still from's

What I'm saying is, IDK he was brought on other than to attach his name to the project. Every element feels like it came from Miyazaki himself. There's nothing in this game that screams GRRM other than a few GoT Easter eggs.

It's at 97 without counting IGN, Gamespot.. etc.. it's likely going back to 98 unless a flood of bad reviews come in.

if that post about memory leaks is true then I guess there's your explanation for PC stutter maybe. Noticed a few PC releases with it recently, REVIII and GOTG had it where you needed to restart from checkpoint occasionally

Prob not enough to make me not get it on PC. Only recent title to make me really regret the PC version was RE8

Jason Schreier says the game runs better on PC than PS5? Well shit, I might go with PC after all. Need that day one patch DF analysis as asap as possible.
Those scores are some true "I doubt you could even imagine it" shit. Friday can't come soon enough.

Holy $#!? those scores. If this sinks its teeth into me like DS3 did, I may never be seen again.

It does confirm one thing, if both of these games (plus Starfield and others) come out this year, then 2022 will be the greatest year in gaming history. And it won't even be remotely fucking close.

GOTG is a crossgen game, I guess crossgen isn't as bad as people think it is.
Cross gen never prevented a game from being good. It just limits a little bit how good the graphics can be. Most of the best games ever made are on limited hardware by today's standards. Many of the best games ever made have mediocre framerate, pop-in, etc.

Where is Fanbyte's Elden Ring Review?

The latest From Software opus is an extremely long and dense game, so we need some more time for a review. Until then, here's our thoughts.

If Dark Souls is the Super Mario World of this Souls genre, then Elden Ring is its Super Mario 64.

I had a strong feeling this would be a generation defining game. It's been awhile since I was this excited for a game.
