diablo 4 in in the high 80’s same with starfield and cities skylines is getting high scores now.
​
Scores do not always mean its a good game or optimized game especially the GAAS games. I have not played or seen anything on alan wake 2 just saying there are times were games get scores/awards that they do not deserve.

Edit: Here is a alan wake 2 performance vid with many gpus tested
Yes because 26 paid “critics” who play the game for maybe couple hours know better than hundreds of thousands, if not millions, gamers.
26 random people don’t dictate how the average consumer / gamer will rate it, and what the actual rating will be. Critic reviews mean shit.

I’m sure Alan Wake is going to be great but critics give out high scores to games with technical and performance issues *all the damn time.*
Jedi: Survivor has a metacritic score of 85 but was so technically borked that people with 4090s couldn’t get 60fps at 1080p.
I don’t like ragging on critics like a lot of people do, but they *really* seem to have a blind spot for performance stuff.

Being the worlds best Ice Cream shop doesn’t mean much if you built it in the middle of the pacific ocean.

Gamers complain about games not looking next gen. Games now look next gen and require next gen hardware. Gamers now complain about having to upgrade to get decent frame rate. Gamers collectively are the biggest bunch of whiners.

2023 has been filled to the brim with shitty ports so far. It’s not really out of the ordinary for thinking AW2 was gonna be the same.

Digital Foundry Editor John Linneman:
“Alan Wake 2 is one of the most technically astounding and visually beautiful games I’ve ever played. I fired it up on my PC and had no stutters, no traversal hitching, super fast loading – it felt perfect. Not a single hiccup to ruin the experience from the very first moment I pressed play. It’s rare to have such a positive PC experience day one.”

I’ll wait for the angry Joe review.

The hysterical freak out was embarrassing to see unfold. Genuine irrational bandwagon panic, mixed with a bizarre elitism.

Reveiwers rarely seem to take performance into account for their reviews, unless it’s nigh unplayable. It more comes down to people on youtube to mention it. Even then, they can somewhat manipulate the narrative.

Great game, shame the 4080 only gets about 65 fps in 1080p native

Yeah but I’ve gone so many years without installing EGS at this point that I just cannot afford to ruin the streak.
