Your performance issues may not hamper my experience. Subjective is subjective. I can have a 10/10 experience with something you felt was inadequate.
Dips down to the low forties in a dark souls game will not hamper your experience.

Please say you are not serious.


Feels like I am getting trolled here.

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.
Yes there were issues with the game, particularly balance issues at launch. My personal rating of Elden ring is somewhere between a 9-9.2, if they fixed all the performance issues and the fact that the last 1/3 of the game drags too long (and do something about the awful snowfields area), it'd probably be a 10.

I'm making a point that simply because you feel frame rate issues lower a game score, that doesn't mean I will. SotC was considered an unplayable mess by many when it first released. Still 10/10 experience for me, I don't give a fuck if someone else was crying about frames that yes, could have been improved. Score is not a reflection of how perfect something is, it's a relation of my subjective feeling.

I am glad you don't give a fuck, but I do.

A 10/10 review indicates a perfect game, and people buy games after looking at such reviews.

Perfect has no definition that all will agree on, a review score is always subjective.

A game with massive performance issues on release that seriously had half the internet moaning about said game is not a 10/10 game, that is not subjective, that is a fact.

Actually it's a subjective opinion, provide a citation that indicates performance issues mean something can't be a 10/10 recommendation. For that matter, provide a citation for "perfect" in the context of videogames.

Doesn't exist bro.

How does being paid for an opinion change it from simply being an opinion
Being paid for an opinion means it's your goddamn job. If you're cool with people doing a shitty job then that's on you. I expect people who get special treatment e.g. early access to content to give me the facts over some schmoe on era or gaf. It's cool to editorialize but when you start using different metrics to grade different games it becomes hard to rely on what you say.

If people are lying, I would consider that a shitty job. If someone is upfront about performance realities, but also enjoys a thing to the point that they feel they can give it their highest recommendation, there is no issue with that as far as I can see.

this 'Reviews is Subjective' sounds like microsoft

Never had an xbox in my life, been Sony only with some side N since PS2. Reviews are subjective opinions and this game looks dope as fuck.
