I honestly will probably end up playing on my Series S on my 1440/120 vrr monitor with the added convenience of my headphones i use for my desktop for Dolby Atmos, rather than my XSX lol. Wish my tv had vrr
I mean Cyberpunk was my entire 2020 month of December. And was hands down the best game of the year. As for Elden Ring on Series X, Iām not too worried about some occasional frame drops if I forget to turn on VRR. Just ignore the vocal minority and enjoy the game.

Not what I meant. Cyberpunk was getting strong praise, felt like the game was good to go without bugs or glitches. Once people got the game, itās a different story altogether. Hell, same can be said for BF2042. No one said it would be this severe. It was later reviews that will tell you otherwise.
Why have there been no day 1 patch impressions still 
Itās a quite different. Cyberpunk got panned with the reviews on the console side. Elden Ring has got critical acclaim from PC and Console reviewers
Yeah it hasnāt gone unnoticed by me that some outlets are using that āreview in progressā line just in case gamers have another Cyberpunk over reaction.
Isnāt day one still one day away?

BF2042 was getting away with it. I remember it was around 78-80 metacritic. Then, people played it and more reviews down the road come in with bad reviews. My first encounter though itās more on fans was Mass Effect 3. āGreat conclusion to the beloved story.ā We all know what happened when fans got their hands on it.
That all said it wonāt happen with Elden Ring, but could you imagine.
The patch went live earlier today. PC is releasing in like, an hour. Consoles in 7
I think the āday oneā patch downloaded for me about five hours ago. It was a 1.8GB patch of some kind anyway, on Series X. Iād hoped someone with a review copy might fancy booting up the best game ever made for half an hour to see if it had improved the framerate, but no oneās mentioned anything yet. Cāmon, journos.
Wait, what? Isnāt it 25 hours for PC? And 13 hours for Xbox (New Zealand)?
Youāre right it is Wednesday today

Can we only expect non DF videos tomorrow then or also DF?
Game feels a bit better after the patch, turned VRR off and running around in the rain and itās noticeably smoother than pre-patch.

Much appreciated, thanks. I envy all the VRR-capable TV owners out there right now!
Do we have a proper HDR implementation with this game? Or did you notice raised black levels?
Good lad Jesse. Really hoping the patch brings it up to par with the PS5 release. This game deserves love on ALL platforms.

Bummer about the reported performance so far.
Hopefully the patch fixes things up.
If not, well, thank goodness for VRR.
Granted Iāll probably be playing on Quality mode because Iām the worst but thatās me.
If I can survive Blighttown on a old-school 360 back in the day, Iām sure Iāll be fine with Elden Ring.
Good talk between Tamoor from Giant Bomb, Andy from Kinda Funny and Alanah Pearce about their experience with the game
