no reason lol

 

[Snarts]

The game should be until they fix the shit graphics in performance mode.

 

[adamsapple]

No reason ? Come on, lol.

We all know the reasons.

 

[SantaC]

This happens with every game

 

[Ezquimacore]

Buggy as fuck and journalists were like "it's ok don't worry" still not a 0 obviously.

 

[roosnam1980]

AAA games bring out fear

always

 

[Craig of War]

This is why

Look at those negative reviews and see what they actually say lmao

thats a tribal dance , not a bug

People who write those make alts to write up whatever bullshit reason they need to.

Same thing happened with Last of Us Part 2.

Must have done something wrong. I mean, perf mode being an abomination can't be the only reason.

 

[GhostOfTsu]

We all know who is review-bombing this masterpiece

CrossfireX just came out they should be playing that exclusive.

I bought this thing and while I'm not review bombing I found more bugs, including game breaking bugs than on Assassin's Creed Unity. Masterpiece my ass, fuck journalists once again.

That isn't a 90+ for critics and user scores

I've never seen a game produce this much salt. The Witcher 3 & many other huge games launched with an astronomical level of bugs/glitches but were still so much fun and went on to win GOTY. I've played for 10hrs so far, just left the Daunt area and I am loving it so far.

People are acting like it's the end of the world that this game has a few glitches here and there. Keep this energy when Bugthesda releases their next big game.

 

[boomcrab]

Fanboys being fanboys. There are some criticisms to be sure but nothing that justifies a zero. How you gonna rate crossefirex a 10 and horizon a 0? Lol

Some of those comments legit gave me brain cancer.

But others are fair, temporary scores waiting for patches and improvements made to Performance Mode IQ.

Yeah if I was planning to play this,I'd just wait for the fix.

 

[BusierDonkey]

This is the first time this has ever been done!

 

[Oddvintagechap]

It's an honor.

GOW2 should feel disrespected if it isnt.

 

[existensmaximum]

Huh, I've encountered zero bugs or glitches so far, after maybe 10 yours of gameplay. Playing in resolution mode, good looking game but not mind-blowing or anything. Very, very fun though!

Everything has been improved upon from the first game, except for the story so far.

 

[wipeout364]

If only PlayStation believed in generations and had focused on the PS5 version and dumped the PS4 version they probably would have had less bugs.

It's weird when you consider Horizon Zero Dawn Launched pretty well bug free if I remember correctly.

 

[pqueue]

wow. can that image BE any larger....

 

[SantaC]

No one will play this game when elden ring drops anyway

 

[Twinblade]

You mean dark souls open world?

I am fine with that. Thats not an insult.

What? Where were you when TLOU2 was released?

just a few more days.....

Found the first Elden Ring review bomber

 

[zomboden]

I feel like for some reason outlets are afraid to review Sony AAA releases harshly. Scared of fanboy backlash? To be fair I haven't played the game so I don't know if it's good or not. I spent all my money on Elden Ring.

 

[arvfab]

This is why

 

[PuffyCan]

oh boy... looks as buggy as cyberpunk at launch, wonder if it`ll get the same treatment

 

[lh032]

tbh, you should expect review bombing for exclusive games.
thats why user reviews are a joke nowadays.

oh boy... looks as buggy as cyberpunk at launch, wonder if it`ll get the same treatment

you should play the game first, CP2077 is worse.

 

[ReBurn]

I'm planning to play this when I'm done with Cyberpunk. Is it glitchy?

 

[tusharngf]

 

[lh032]

its a "compilation" videos, videos like this tend to overblown and make things look "worse" but it is not.

I mean obviously there will be bugs, but 0 review score? come on.

Just go filter and read the 0 reviews, makes no sense.

 

[smart_brazileiro]

75% of those probably came from Gaffers. We all know how this place is.

 

[DForce]

That's not why it was review bombed. Think they played the entire game for a day and decided to give it a zero?

It's from trolls/fanboys from other platforms.

 

[Synless]

What exactly is the issue here with performance mode that is prompting this?

 

[Ozriel]

People are acting like it's the end of the world that this game has a few glitches here and there. Keep this energy when Bugthesda releases their next big game.

I trust YOU will keep the same energy when the next Bethesda game releases?

 

[Robb]

This always happens to big exclusive releases and is why the user scores mean absolutely nothing unless you can verify that you actually own and have played through the game.

 

[Ozriel]

This is the first time this has ever been done!

I'm surprised this was considered worthy of a push square article. console warriors are stupid, and every big exclusive gets the same console warriors in the user reviews spouting trash.

Did we suddenly get an influx of people new to the internet ?

EDIT: I love how the pushsquare writer says 'for no apparent reason' in the title, but in the first line of the article, they blame console warriors.
I guess they've achieved their aim. 232 comments already and counting. Probably tons of clicks. And people sharing the clickbait article on gaming forums.

Probably want to wait a few days before, as going from this to Elden Ring directly might do a huge disservice to From's game.
