@GoodGame
All this wAlkinG siM talk and I was actually surprised how deep traversing actually was in the game. It's got a lot of variety and even the walking bits get upgraded to more interesting mechanics.
Absolute blast of a game. Finally a different game, one that emphasizes traversing, instead of the typical get from point A to B and shoot some baddies up.
Meanwhile the gameplay is onrails and all you care about is fast traveling and being done with it
I'm glad more people are complaining about their try-hard overly cool style. Dear lord... Some of their dialogue. It can make a happy go lucky depressed in an instant. It was so absolutely atrocious in the Crew and Steep games. I turned off the voice volume very quickly after playing. In fact, most Ubisoft games are best if you just skip the cutscenes. They're dumb games anyway and the story is absolute garbage. Always. So why not just play it like they deserve to be played
@Fight_Teza_Fight It'll sell throughout. I've yet to play DS 2 and 3 and Demons Souls remake. I'll pick this one up eventually as well. People will keep picking it up. Quality perseveres.
Alright I'll finally bite. Played Valkyrie Chronicles on PS3, but I was too young and in love with COD, so I put it down.
I will finally give it a try! Also VC4 since its got such a great review here
Insane and probably deserved. Not catering to the lowest common denominator and with numbers like these, they absolutely have no reason do to so.
Hope Sony would take notes sometimes. I love their games, but sometimes Sony games are too soft. Especially as of late. Although Returnal completely disproves my point, but let's hope we'll see more of these
@Splat Exactly. Shout-out to mine as well. Spent the second half of the game with the same person, without even knowing who they were, only being able to communicate with in-game quirks. What an experience Definitely a masterpiece
Rubberbanding with crappy Ubi physics in its full 60fps glory (although I did enjoy it to some extent). Love the idea, but Horizon does it infinitely better
Can't wait! Can't also wait for the massively underappreciated (well not appreciated enough for my taste) Dead Space 2 remake. Absolute stellar of a game, even if it was more action. DS3 went all action though and just bad and forced game design, they can keep that one and work on a reboot
@Korgon Always had lots of interest in the series, but never played them unfortunately. Haven't played much of Crash or Spyro either, but those I'm sure I can do without. Sly is much more appealing to me tbh. If they're on PS4 I need to play them....
Wish more reviewers had games being inoffensive as a criteria. I mean context matters and I'm not expecting an indie game like this to be offensive, but I definitely see a point when people criticize Horizon for being inoffensive and a bit dull. Haven't played HFW yet, so my experience doesn't apply to that.
Though moody and artsy indie games like these get me so hyped up and then they always just don't deliver. Or Push is too strict lol, idk. This review definitely killed my hype
It's not even the first time you're being an illiterate. You're a toxic troll who only what he wants, just to have a toxic discussion. You purposefully leave out whatever suits your view. Whatever dude, stay in your own toxic bubble and stfu. I'll have none of it. Going for that lovely ignore button
@guntam Honey, you definitely implied that... Jfc. Who are you even kidding? You're calling a couple of sentences whole paragraphs as if my comment was a lot, what kind of mental gymnastics are you even doing? Also, damage control much? Twitter is a cesspool and everyone knows it. I get that a toxic person like yourself loves it, but that's besides the point. My comment was in line with how Twitter is generally looked at. 😘
@guntam If you think 2 sentences is a paragraph then I'd be concerned about your own reading comprehension as you clearly thought what I wrote in my original comment was a lot lol
@guntam
2 little sentences together is still not a paragraph. I'm not sure what you'd think of an actual book, but fine. If it's Twitter, I'm always seeing it as an outrage 😊
Also thanks for clarifying that things are made up inside people's heads.
I do agree that I look good, but you never clarified if I'm an epic gamer or not.
@Brasilkilla Yeah I'm giving up on trophies... A game has to be reaally good and platinum should be doable before I attempt a plat nowadays. Even debating on playing online games anymore as that gets in the way of my backlog as well. Meanwhile games are releasing like crazy and what the hell can you even do anymore lol
@Apfelschteiner A car from GT? Lmao that would be hilarious tbh
Though with all this virtue signalling, Fat Princess would be controversial in this day and age where you offend a whole lotta other people who have to get upset over something. Also, it's Curvy Princess.
Also, it's just to fit in that title card, so can we all just please stop. There's a war going on and meanwhile once again Twitter finds something mundane to whine about
@lolwhatno
Lmaooo yeah I know the feel...
Games can get pretty long and you have to always end on a high, which can be rare lol. But it's so good tho...
Maybe time for me to get back in the game... Stopped all my online games a year ago, because I have a tendency to invest all my free gaming time into those instead of my backlog or something :/
@bozz And besides, the driving is not miserable. It's actually insanely well done. It's actually bizarre how good it is, as there's literally only GTA that does it well. Literally nothing else. Ghost Recon? Watch Dogs? No. Nothing else.
Is Astrobot actually a thing? Or is Sony just pushing it a bit to make it seem like it's a bigger thing than it actually is.
All I know is that Sackboy is huge and had an even bigger potential. Instead of all the crappy merch Sony put out they could've easily made a pop vinyl kinda line with sackboys. Every sackboy figure would've then gotten a different costume representing the various PS characters. I would've collected the crap out of that. Still salty about it
@BrainHacker Good. TGA has been a joke since the beginning. Glad at least some competence is behind the BAFTA awards. They've got more credibility than TGA for me now for sure
DICE has just lost it for a while now. It's been downhill since BF3, but especially after BF4. The world war BF games played like absolute dogdumpings and it doesn't feel satisfying too shoot anything anymore. Terrible destruction and vehicle combat. That was what made BF in the first place, so what's the point anymore then?
I'm fine with Apex and Last of Us still as my main shooter and hell, even the new COD's feel good to shoot in
I do understand that one simpleton review bomber who said it's another soft inoffensive Sony game.
Quite frankly, it is. That was so annoying about HZD. Post apocalypse story and everyone talks like an utter moron plucked from Twitter. I get that it doesn't have to be like GTA's script, but at least have it have a pulsing heart. Show some sharp edges. Make jokes, have fun, curse at something, at someone, show some humanity
Is that why Spider-Man's swinging is on autopilot?
Is it because it's horrifying that a current gen Spider-Man game has worse physics and boring swinging mechanics that Sony took the control away to consequently take the horror away.
Only explanation that explains to me why I'm able to swing through NYC with one hand on the controller and holding a cup of coffee in the other hand without any fear.
@djlard Didn't like Aloy all that much in HZD, but it's 100% a million times better than the shallow and terribly written degenerates you get to play in AC. A character can grow on you, that's where you get those sympathies. You're solely judging it by how she looks...
No surprise there as this is in the Netherlands. Eventually it took how long for this to come out? Whatever it was, it didn't feel like it took forever. Consumers aren't just gonna vanish. They'll patiently wait and receiving a finished product creates returning costumers. Always this this shareholder nonsense talk. Just finish the damn game before release
I've had faith they would come around, but it's just always a shame to see these games being released like this in the first place. Patched games always feel like that, patched. They're never gonna be as fluent as a brand new GTA or RDR or Arkham game or something. This will be worth the 20 bucks or less it costs nowadays for sure. People who are buutthurt and got it on day one: your own fault
Man look at that thumbnail art.
They've got the fashion and character designs nailed to a T. Art that could make the iconic GTA posters blush. That chick looks so freaking cool it's insane.
What a damn shame how it all turned out then, because this game oozes character
@Just2Milky The game has interesting stories and the setting is amazing, but I found the storytelling and the bland characters to be pretty atrocious. That in itself brought the whole campaign down for me. Loved the game tho, but was hoping for better in that aspect
