Some folks with good cpus are having issues with Elden Ring. I am hovering mostly at 60 on high with my aging R5 2600 and 2070, but get massive drops when the game tries to load anything.

3900x +2080S, no drops or any problems (except damn keyboard bindings). Really who's decided to make jump on F by defaults xd

The stuttering did come back for me and I've had it even in some of the '' instanced '' parts ( altho VERY rarely ).
It seems to mainly be the open world having to do with a lot of trees or water, the area I was in when I thought the stuttering was gone was very different and it was running smooth.
It's a very consistent problem people are having tho and it definitely has nothing to do with my specs...

It's not horrible and unplayable but it is annoying, especially if you're fighting an open world boss.

They also taste like powdered donuts.

I will not be answering questions.

I'm interested to know where you learned this.

I will say Elden Ring was cooking my laptop. Spiked cpu temps to 90c at times.

Went to a nearby Gundam shop for a build day, figuring maybe I could actually try being social.

Social anxiety said nope.

Got a Baund Doc, at least.

Which reminds me. I still have the RG Impulse Gundam I need to get to work on. ...And the RG Hi-Nu Gundam I need to finish. ...And the MG 00 Seven Sword Kitbash...

*sighs* My backlog just keeps growing...

I seriously can't recommend Elden Ring enough, I was skeptical at first but it has completely blown me away ( I am pretty far in now ).
The world is absolutely enormous FAR bigger than I expected and it's so varied it's hard to really put into words.
Generally I really dislike open worlds but it just puts every other open world game I've played to complete shame, the early parts I think don't do it justice it gets so much better.
I've really never experienced something on this scale it's pretty funny looking back at the old games and how puny they feel in comparison.

I can definitely see why people say it's the game of the generation if it keeps this going I might even say it's one of the best games ever created and I wouldn't argue against people who said it's the best.
Outside of performance issues and some bosses maybe that feel a bit unfair ( just how it is in Souls games tho ) the only other negative imo is the character creator being pretty meh unless you want to create a monster.
And also for my personal preference it feels like all of the gear is designed for male characters ( there's even a huge bulge armor lol ).
Even just how it looks on my female character it looks more like a guy wearing it I felt it was better in that department in the old games.

Well, if this is true, at least they did one original thing in that they did the exact opposite of how everyone else do their games by focusing on the one of the two that sells worse, but i guess it doesn't really matter with the series staple terrible customization and no shop to sell some frilly dresses and/or bikinis.
