No one ever said that.B…b..but I thought the graphics supposed to make it unplayable!?
The graphics aren't on par with something like Horizon, or Forza Horizon 5, but I haven't heard anyone saying they were a deal breaker

Oh. This actually might make me interested in this. I’m not into Souls games but loved Returnal. Hmmmm…

Was waiting for the reviews to drop before pre purchasing the digital edition (everyone should do this btw).
Was not disappointed.

That requires like having only 20 review scores like the games atop of metacritic
yeaaaah....What a year already with Horizon Forbidden West. 2 GOAT in the same week
I am not sure the two games are on the same level to be honest

Is Javthusiast gonna have to chok... buy this game?
I dunno, one guy didn't even know you could get a torch in the Xbox version... I'll wait for another 'tuber to come out with this before I start worrying about performance.

Wow. The reviews are off the chain!!!
This may be the best FROM game ever made which would put it in legendary category for top games of all time.

I feel like I'm in the Matrix, and the only person that's actually unplugged, but this game quite literally looks nowhere as good as what these scores suggest. I've watched hours and hours of footage trying to see what the fuss is all about, and I'm just not seeing it.
From the moment this game was shown everything about it seemed heavily manufactured even though I found the art style and visual direction to be great.
But yea, I'm not buying in at all. I await to see if someone can show me what makes this game so special because usually I'm quite good at feeling out games, and so far those instincts have come back with nothing.

Imagine you were stuck on a desert island and all you had to play were the Top 2 rated games of all time according to opencritic, just no inbetween of pure joy and pure despair.
You end up becoming a sort of desert island Harvey Dent and you make one half of the island all colourful and joyous with bright garlands made out of dried plants and the other one you've strung up pierced animal carcasses and you've attached sharpened flint "blades" to the legs of the biggest bird on the island which attacks you furiously whenever it sees you, exhausted and disgruntled from flying around with its dropping blade legs all day.
Not: "Unfathomably large and fathoms deep. . ." Like I'm sure this game deserves the praise and more but boy oh boy these superlatives are something off from some of these "high falutin" reviewers.

If Schreier and Ryckert think it's one of the best games ever, it's probably not.

Down to 97 on Metacritic. What a piece of shit.
But seriously, great to see a master of his craft actually knock it out of the park. The scores are insane. The game must have a bit of magic about it.

Why not? The game has always been a grind fest. I know how tough those damn bosses are. I will definitely grind the game so I can get to beat them.

Probably the first time a lot of these journalists got through a Souls game. Seems a lot more accessible.

I bought botw because reviewers said it was one of the best games ever, but I found the game boring and repetitive, let's see if this happens with this one.

That's awesome IMO, means there's no stupid level scaling
