What is up with all the people suddenly whining about Elden Ring? By any objective measure it's the best game since Bloodborne (which Edge also gave a 10).
Same here. A 8,5I'm 60 hours into elden ring rn and this game isn't a 10 imo. I'd give it an 8.5.
Almost finished Liurnia and what a slog, so much filler. If they halved the map size, removing all the repetitive content in the process, it would be a 10.What is up with all the people suddenly whining about Elden Ring?

HFW got a 7 from Edge.I didn't even see what edge gave horizon, was interested in that.
What a treat score for GT 7 it really is a great game and deserves all the sales.

There’s always a bit of backlash when a game is universally praised since it will never appeal the same to everyone. In the case of Elden Ring, there’s a mix of people who don’t like the Souls formula, who don’t like open worlds, hard games, etc.What is up with all the people suddenly whining about Elden Ring?

Quoting from my copy:7 7s heh
What were their complaints for HFW? I haven’t played it after I started with Elden Ring but at the time I really liked what I played.
Thanks, yeah I can see what they mean, but 7 seems too low for me.Quoting from my copy:
The surprise is almost entirely absent. In fact, the biggest surprise is how unsurprising it is.
It is quite startling how little it has evolved the formula five years on.
Aloy's Focus is a requirement to navigate certain spaces, and certainly, you'll need to click the right stick to ping for foragable items and caches of supplies. Anywhere with complex geometry makes navigation a pain, not least underwater and interior sections, where the camera frequently gets snagged on scenery. Too often we're reminded that is a world built for form ahead of fiction.
Plot that amounts to locating and then overriding a series of rogue functions to reboot a hyper-intelligent AI, which involves spending far too much time making your way through a succession of boring, labyrinthine facilities.
They also hate the constant interior monologue which they dedicated a full page to.
This weird mentalitySame here. A 8,5
Out of 8,5!

It deserves a 9.5. Should be penalized for technical issues.If Eldern Ring doesnt deserve a 10 then i dont know what game does.
Unless you're referencing how strict Edge scores are and you expected them to give a lower score.
The other thing that they lost is that recently seeing the magazine in flesh, it appears to be a lot slimmer now and with lot less pages, not like how I used to remember their issues...probably because the way of how the print world is now everything going digital..Lmao Elden Ring 10, EDGE really lost its edge.
How does it feel to be so wrong?Elden Ring is not a 10...
also - edge? ok?

What do you mean? The game is not perfect once honey moon is over and I did 90 hoursHow does it feel to be so wrong?
I never stopped subscribing. As for the content I would say it’s the same amount but the font is ridiculously small. Probably to condense as much as possible in the smaller pages. I’ve emailed them several times about the font size.The other thing that they lost is that recently seeing the magazine in flesh, it appears to be a lot slimmer now and with lot less pages, not like how I used to remember their issues...probably because the way of how the print world is now everything going digital..
To be fair mate, its gone back up to 130 pages which is max its been at for a good few years. Was down to 100 during the 'rona crisis but been back at 130 for a year or so now.The other thing that they lost is that recently seeing the magazine in flesh, it appears to be a lot slimmer now and with lot less pages, not like how I used to remember their issues...probably because the way of how the print world is now everything going digital..
True, but also the world of gaming has lost its mojo a bit in that the hardware scene isn't as competitive as it was in the 90s (early days of Edge) you'd have Sega showing off their Model arcade, board, Namco in to compete, 3DO coming in with M2, Sega looking to be on top with a dreamcast successor in the works, all these companies in the ring, or Nintendo with rumours of a cutting edge piece of console kit in the works...tech demos etc...not it is just Playstation Pros and Xbox nexts..with Nintendo lurking somewhere in the background with their Switch....To be fair mate, its gone back up to 130 pages which is max its been at for a good few years. Was down to 100 during the 'rona crisis but been back at 130 for a year or so now.
And to be honest, olden days of EDGE the last 30+ odd pages at the back were literally just job adverts.
Fucking hell pal, do you play your games or fuck them?Elden Ring is a 10. For 5 years I had to suffer people calling BotW the greatest game ever created, ignoring its obvious flaws. For 2 years I had to deal with people rubbing their nipples to TLoU2, trying to act big brained calling it a sublime masterpiece of storytelling.
Now it’s their turn to eat shit. Elden Ring, despite its flaws, is one of the best games ever made. It’s a commercial and critical hit, people are still talking about it, it brought in new fans, and sets a new standard for open world games.
Don’t like it? Don’t agree? Tough. Deal with it you fucking cuck. I want you to wallow in this game’s farts for the next 5 years. Get angry whenever you see someone call the game great. Nothing you say will change the fact that Elden Ring is the dopest dope you ever smoked.
It's the only multi format magazine left in the UK though...The other thing that they lost is that recently seeing the magazine in flesh, it appears to be a lot slimmer now and with lot less pages, not like how I used to remember their issues...probably because the way of how the print world is now everything going digital..

What do you mean? The game is not perfect once honey moon is over and I did 90 hours
1. You probably haven't gotten anywhere in just 25 hours unless you are using guides/Google.I’m about 25 hours into Elden Ring and I would give it a solid 8. The 10 out of 10 scores are ridiculous.
Now that the foundation is built with Elden Ring I think ER 2 will be the real mind blowing experience.
trash?! TRASH ?!Imagine giving a game you trash online 90+ hours of your life. Tell me you don't value your own time without telling me you don't value your own time.
1. You probably haven't gotten anywhere in just 25 hours unless you are using guides/Google.
2. I personally hope they never make ER2 and move on to something new.
I have been using guides so I got pretty far in those 25 hours lol. I wouldn’t have the patience to play the game without using guides.1. You probably haven't gotten anywhere in just 25 hours unless you are using guides/Google.

Bloodborne wasn't abandoned by FROM, they don't own the IP. I don't even understand what you are trying to say here.I have been using guides so I got pretty far in those 25 hours lol. I wouldn’t have the patience to play the game without using guides.
Elden Ring 2 is definitely happening, it’s gotten too big to just abandon like they did Bloodborne.
