I don;'t think the loading times are that bad, and I actually don't even care about a small load. It's cool they're trying to eliminate them, but I actually feel like a little loading downtime is *good* for Souls games. Breather. That said, I never found PS4/Ps4 Elden Ring frustrating., nor did I have issues' with loading blocks of vegetation slowly like I do with either version on the PS5, in ANY graphics mode. Which just kind of baffles me.

Frankly, the PS5 version of elden ring still pops in terrain like ass on Performance mode.
The PS4 version on PS4 is probably the best version of Elden Ring.

All this says to me is that Gamers^(TM) have overinflated expectations of graphics, and frankly . I wish studios would dial back trying to push multiple 'modes' and just create something that runs cleanly and with some polish, even if it isn't the most high-fidelity thing in the world. Prioritize the actual gameplay, world, characters, scenario and experience over the pure graphical power. Give us cool, smooth, 'okay looking' experiences over the 'Tripulh Ayyeeee' fidelity.
