So why the heck did Elden Ring go gold over a month ago?

Because they finished it? Just bug fixing since?

Supposedly:

Almost definitely marketing reasons. They needed to do a CNT and integrate the feedback from it into the day one patch, and prepare collectors editions and market them. However that’s just my guess.

I'm thinking this gets low 90's.

Don't mind me. I'm just dead tired because I'm currently in that mode where I wake up at 6am and think "You could go back to sleep...or you could get in a few hours of that video game before work."

Can't really remember the last time reviewers were hyping up a game like this.

Maybe I should change my prediction! 93 could happen.

I still remember our 1886 thread though. Hype can be selective.

QuoteWhile PS4 players might encounter the occasional loading screen (including helpful hints), PS5 players can toggle between Informative and Immediate, since the game loads a lot quicker and some might prefer to read the loading screen tips.

In case someone needed a CGI trailer.
