Maybe Xbox has the resolution edge again, like Sekiro?
If you accepted a PC code it was 2 days earlier than a console one.
This gameās the clear GOTY with 97/100 on critics.
Still Starfield is, or can be, on another level even if it has less average on critics, and it will be my goty 2022ā¦ and 2023 (ty mods)
Stop linking that idiotic Resetera post, please. Patch just dropped, weāll see how performance is from more reputable sites.

Letās be honest though, FromSoft arenāt known for the best performanceā¦ So it wouldnāt be much of a surprise. But yeah letās see patch results first.
I feel like Starfield has the potential to be pushing 95+ (potentially genre defining if it turns out polished)ā¦ but for what From have done with a cross gen game, itās absolutely insaneā¦
Yāall gotta realize polish means jack shit to reviewers

It has a chance even if it scores a bit less. Anything is possible. All I know is when it comes to 90+ meta score games, Xbox and Bamco are high fiving this gen so far.

Polish depends on the personal bias most of the time.
I dunno man. Reviewers sure like bringing up polish when it comes to Xbox releases. /s
Polish definitely means something for a Bethesda gameā¦ itās usually super jank and buggy.
Which I donāt expect it to be given the time in development and the new engine.

I think there are two definitions to polish that get mixed up: technical polish (bugs, image, performance) and design/visual polish (graphics, animations, details, presentation). The latter matters much more to them in reviews. The technical polish gets mentioned on the side.

Inconsistent framerate from From is to be expected, but Xbox dipping below PS like that should not be, unless I guess the resolution is higher. This was the case with Sekiro on One X. Letās wait and see for results with day one patch though, yeah.
So are from soft games lol and infact there are reports of elden ring crashing and stuttering on PC. 
Got to wait to see if the patch clear things up.
He might be playing with VRR.

Of course polish matters, weāre just used to performance being bad in games until a pre-launch patch. Itās a very different experience, Iāve played games that had 3 or 4 massive patches before they launched.

What is most valued to Elden Ring is its open world. Starfield is made by BGS, I donāt know if they are so good at making open worldsā¦
