Elden Ring Review - From Software's Answer to Zelda!

[The_Liquid_Laser]

I'm about 15 hours into Elden Ring.  It seems like a great game overall so far.  It very much feels like Dark Souls with a healthy amount of BotW mixed in.

I'm seen quite a few reviews mention stuff like resolution and frame rate, and not just for Elden Ring, but for most games in general.  Personally, I don't care at all about this stuff.  In fact, off the top of my head I can't think of even a single Switch game where the graphics bothered me.  That's how little I care about this stuff.  I can think of a PS4 game where the graphics bothered me: Spider-Man (and I know it isn't alone in this complaint I'm about to give).  Games that go for realistic graphics often have an uncanny valley problem.  Spider-Man and NYC look awesome, but when it's Peter and Mary Jane talking on the couch, yikes, they give me creepy vibes.  Anyway, to me Elden Ring looks gorgeous and I have no complaints about it on the looks dept.

One thing that did bother me.  I saw a video where someone snuck up on a dog and backstabbed it.  I think it's cool that you can do this to people, but dogs should hear you coming.  To me it ruins the immersion of the game, at least for a moment.  I wish more reviewers would talk about stuff like this instead of the old frame rate and resolution nonsense.  That's the stuff that I care about anyway.
