Cobra1010 02/24/22 11:26:55 PM #1:	Most of the complaints are game being un-optimized for pc I think. Like I said, don't just look at all those 9/10s and 10/10s and then whip your wallet out and buy before the game is even out. Wait til game comes out, see how things are, then buy it if you like what you see. --- Rule #17: Don't be a Hero - Unnecessary risks are risks that shouldn't be taken. <cite>Cobra1010 posted [p:962948444] in Elden Ring...

Squall28 02/24/22 11:36:10 PM #5:	I didn't pre-order, but I might still get it. My CPU is below spec so I'm a little worried because even people with good specs are underperforming. It seems like the performance isn't really a hardware issue though. --- You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. -Misattributed to CS Lewis <cite>Squall28 posted [p:962948636] in Elden Ring...

itachi15243 02/24/22 11:41:35 PM #9:	After looking at them it seems like literally all bad reviews are because of not the best optimization. No other complaints.

Like I said, don't just look at all those 9/10s and 10/10s and then whip your wallet out and buy before the game is even out. The game itself isn't bad though, it has some bugs on pc being worked on.

If the download time is super long, you might not be able to get a refund on Steam. I think I read that as one of the complaints about Microsoft Flight Simulator, how it took so long to download they couldn't get a refund for the game. Download time definitely isn't counted on steam. Google starts counting from the moment you purchase but it doesn't usually take a long time to download a mobile game. Also the 2 hour / 2 day limit is only for automatic refunds.
