There's no reason for there not to be a 60fps PS5 patch at this point, which leads me to believe that there's a licensing or rights issue. Perhaps From Software owns the assets, with Japan Studio only helping with the PS4 side of the development and giving cursory, technological experience. And we all know Japan Studio no longer exists, so...

@Northern_munkey Another Stopfordian in the comments? What a small world we live in...

Can't believe they're selling collector's editions for mad money and include empty boxes as part of the product. It really doesn't cost them that much extra to put a disc in that steelbook. Money grabbing and greedy.

@WallyWest That's the problem with a lot of fans of this company, you assume that a dissenting opinion is there to cause trouble. I don't care about the consensus, nor do I care about the brand identity issues many of you carry. This game is an 8/10. 6 might be low, but it's not far off the mark. I am perfectly entitled to state that this game is an 8, which is very related to the above (as well as you're assumption that me rating it any lower than a 10 is an attempt to 'cause trouble'). That's coming from what is likely to be more years spent gaming than you have been alive. There's very little point in ever visiting this website if it's an echo chamber. It might be dedicated to Sony, but that doesn't mean everything has to be guaranteed a 10. Many of Sony's recent turnouts have been bad, and if not bad, then mediocre. They're the equivalent of pop music — they do what they need to do to make a profit, but they in no way should be considered the milestones and achievements that they supposedly are.

@Ralizah BOTW is another game that doesn't deserve anything close to a 9 or a 10. How it is so beloved is well beyond me. I still, to this day, largely blame TikTok and YT influencers for that barebones whale skeleton being so well liked.

The game is a 7 or an 8 at best. It does nothing to improve on the last game, it's more of the same, and whether you like it or not ultimately comes down to how 'cinematic' you like your videogames to be. I like my videogames to be games, ultimately leaving this to be a largely meritless videogame that does more of the same. So realistically, yeah, it gets an 8 for being polished and well executed. It doesn't get anything close to a 9 or a 10 because essentially, it is a rehash.

10 point scales exist for a reason. This isn't a 4 point scale. If it were a 4-pointer, it'd be getting a 3.

@Toypop This entire comment is wrong. I had Elden Ring platinumed on PS4 just over a week from launch and it ran like a dream the whole way through.

And besides, this whole comment section just proves what they say about Sony fans being suckers. This is the same game as the other, with a new story. But these aren't movies, they're videogames. To that end, GOW didn't really innovate, and so it sits at the same score. Regardless, ER is going to take the award in a player's choice regard, because there are far more of them out there. GOW is an exclusive, and not a phenomenon across the net.

@Areus Final Fantasy VII is still canon. Remake is an alternate timeline affected by Sephiroth moving through the Lifestream.
