Hi-Fi RUSH Announced by Tango Game Works | Coming today to Xbox and PC (Also on Game Pass)

how could you not take off points for performance on ps5 lol, unless you were playing the ps4 version via back compatibility mode...and if so were you really giving an honest review of the product? Don't get me wrong elden ring is a great game...but it's not a 10/10 for performance alone. once you've experienced souls in rock solid 60fps you can't go back and everything beneath that feels lacking.

It absolutely blows my mind, so if the performance was solid, they should in other words be giving the game a score a 11 out of 10.

We, the buying public pay a lot of money for these games, and people like myself have to be super careful with our cash, i am borderline poor, I can buy 1 amazing game if i am lucky a year, i have had to save up for Diablo 2


Telling me the game is a 10/10 is telling me it is perfect, it needs to stop.

 

[thelastword]

True, 10/10 does not mean a perfect game.

But Hi-Fi Rush already has more 10 on 10 scores than another console exclusive that came out a few days ago.

Fascinating stuff.

That's not true, a good game is a good game. I just hope you celebrate 10/10 games across the board in equal fashion. Let's not be selective 10/10 celebrators.

If you go by that Elden Rings should have scored a lot lower cause it ran pretty bad at launch on almost all the platforms its on.

But to the reference of this topic, this game (HiFi Rush) does not exhibit any performance issues.

In fact, the PC version ships with no shader stutters and runs great on Steam Deck out of the box as well.

If technical competency is an important criteria for you, this game is a 10/10 so far.

Could be that chapter 8 might run like shit, but I haven't seen anything like that so far from what I've played.

I see no reason why this game should not run fine on a GTX 1050ti, some games we can excuse by their ambition. Either way you split the coin, arguments can be made. I don't think a simplistic game should get 10/10's just because it runs without a framedrop, then it would be all about it's content and gameplay or perhaps reviewers could detract points for it's lack of ambition elsewhere.

On the flip, there have been games which had some frame dips which were crucified for it, like Days Gone, whilst some 10/10's run sub 20fps. Some games with a focus on MP was a shit show for months, even years, Battlefield 4, MCC, Infinite, got great scores. Driveclub was brutalized because of some server issues at launch. Is every game judged by the same stroke? Perhaps the review board, if there is one, should pen out a review standard across all games, bar none....Then things, will be less prone to bias...or "it's my review, I can feel how I want to", conveniently....

Agreed. And this has been a good game so far.

Shader compilation stutter doesn't make a difference if you're using a 1050 or a 4090. It is not GPU class dependent.

It happens in almost every new PC release and it's refreshing to see one where it doesn't.

Ok, look. You got me aight? I just did not want to be get yelled by the amazing Sony ponies such as Gediminas.

On a serious note - Elden Ring does way too many things right for it not to warrant a 10/10 score and the gameplay loop is too much fun. As I've said previously, I did not encounter the bugs that some people did. We rate games based on the overall experience and what it offers for the price that you are paying. And what you are paying and getting out of Elden Ring is an easy 10/10. It surpassed most peoples expectations.

Do you think TLOU 2 deserves a 10 or God of War? By your standards no game is a true 10/10 then. As I've said previously, 10/10 is not perfection.

I can tell you now with absolute certainty, after playing the new god of war for 30+ hours, it is not a 10/10.

I guess you gave that a 10/10 as well.

 

[thelastword]

Agreed. And this has been a good game so far.

I'm glad you are happy. Yet two reviews so far on Open Critic, one is from XBOX era, the 10 is from who? No reviews on Meta. It's ok to play a game before reviewing it you know. Reviewers should take their time.

Also, to the poster who said some folk are already calling Hifi Goty, there is no way this is true....

I think you're paying too much attention to the numerical score. 10/10 is not a "PERFECT" game. Many 10/10 reviews list cons along with pros as well.

10/10 just means it is an excellent experience, excellence can also be flawed but maybe not enough to warrant a drop in score.

I, personally, don't care about games like Elden Ring. But as an outsider I can still see why it got the critical reception that it did.

Those are literally the only 2 reviews on open critic right now so it's not like I'm picking or choosing what to post selectively lol.

When more reviews get added, I'll update those here too.

If people are going to use a scoring system, then it needs to be correct.

I believe that is why a lot of sites went away from it, I remember some sites using the term recommended in place of the scoring system.

A ten out of ten means a perfect score, I remember doing a lot of spelling tests in school, and not once did my teacher grade my paper as a ten when I had mistakes all over it.

Either factor in the problems or change your scoring system to something that is reflective, it's really not that difficult to understand.

I haven't played TLOU 2 so I can't say, but in my own opinion God of War is an 8-8.5/10 game, but performance isn't the reason why - and I admit that my judgment is biased because I really couldn't get into the game so I haven't finished it. But let's say it performed really badly like Elden Ring does with frame drops into the 40s and such - I would definitely be knocking the score down another 0.5-1 point depending on how bad it was.

This place is embarrassing sometimes. 10/10 means the subjective opinion of the person playing it is that they are giving the game the highest recommendation they can. Show me a citation that says a perfect score means a game is perfect. It's wahjah inducing fanboy shit. Tetris is a 10/10 for me, deal with it.

I was being very nice! I was wishing him well in the future!

And family members can still be disowned.

Factoring in shocking performance issues that the vast majority of consumer's experienced is not subjective,

There is nothing embarrassing about it, end of the story.

That's cool when you're posting on a forum. When you're trying to inform the public as a journalist your words need to be more measured and objective. I am by no means saying Elden Ring is a bad game, my friend group still talks about it all the time. I'm just saying that when some games are reviewed by different metrics than others, it muddies the water. Why did pokemon scarlet/violet get a bunch of points taken off for performance? By and large it's been selling gangbusters and most people think it's fun. Yet certain games get passes? Are you saying that a 9.5/10 would turn it from an awesome game to a terrible one?

Your performance issues may not hamper my experience. Subjective is subjective. I can have a 10/10 experience with something you felt was inadequate.

it wasn't just performance with Elden Ring. Limgrave was extremely blurry, low poly textures.
game had no balance, 85% of weapons were useless, other 10% was broken or just very OP.
and we have bugs, glitches, Clipping everywhere. bosses dying by themself and etc..
and we have combat and animations which weren't updated from Demon's Souls release in 2009.
