Summary

Steam had over 50,000 reviews, including roughly 20,000 negative, citing severe PC stuttering and frame-rate problems even on high-end systems. He says lag undermines timing-based combat; keyboard prompts are poorly mapped, while crashes and white screens may erase boss-fight progress. He is refunding Elden Ring, reconsidering after patches or a lower price, and condemns major channels’ overwhelmingly positive pre-release reviews.

Insight

The episode reinforces his performance-focused criticism and distrust of hype, while postponing purchase rather than rejecting the game permanently.
