They're really going to force me to play this huh?! Haha I wanted to check it out but heard such terrible things, but since it will be free on plus I will definitely give it a shot
It Takes Two is fantastic. Not much here for me but I just got Callisto Protocol and Like A Dragon Ishin so I am set for a while on top of going for this FF16 platinum
@KaijuKaiser I would say it is more reflective of their confidence in how the game will sell rather than the quality of the game. definitely understand the skepticism though
@Artois2 in this case you are certainly the minority. it has a 5/10 on steam, terrible reviews from critics, and a 1.1 userscore on metacritic. where is this unspoken majority you speak of hiding?
Torn between a 7 and an 8 right now, won't rate until I finish it. The highest of highs but also really horrible lows. Some terrible terrible animation even in some of the main story NPC cutscenes and awful fetch quest design. But when its back to the highs the scale is unmatched in those epic battle sequences. One of the most oddly inconsistent games I've ever played
Had a very good time with this game, as solid of a 7/10 as there can be. I can see waiting for a sale if you don't have that kind of cash to throw around but it was a good experience and well worth it imo. Fun platinum too if you want more bang for your buck!
Some people in the comments seem to not understand how RPGs work and particularly their opening hours! But glad to see the overwhelming majority showing love and support, the game is excellent so far.
@KundaliniRising333 quick swap to a different article where you actually care about the subject matter instead of sharing your disinterest with people that are excited for this game
I guess people thought this was going to be back to back AAA first party exclusives for 2 hours straight. I was not blown away but I liked a lot of what I saw and was left overall satisfied with the experience. Not to beat a dead horse but look at the shape Xbox is in right now, let's not go crazy here
Humanity and Thymesia are the ones I will be downloading to check out. Have played or don't care about most of the others. I may try Legion if I can stomach another Ubi game but I have heard pretty bad things
I enjoyed these kind of gameplay segments in Nier Automata but I can't really imagine playing an entire game centered around mech combat. I am a huge From fan but I don't think this is for me at all
Anybody still playing this or have updated thoughts on it? I was very interested before launch but it seemed to be a bit of a disaster by some accounts (although others said they enjoyed it to a certain degree)
I am having an amazing time with this game. Its clicking with me more than any other RE game I've played. I am usually not a huge fan of the inventory management or the combat but for some reason this one finds the sweet spot for everything. Beautiful visuals as well and smooth performance in my experience
I am probably way more excited than I should be for this given the unprecedented development hell the game has been through but everything they've shown looks really awesome. I love the art style and the gameplay looks really satisfying. Day 1 pending reviews of course
@WavesOfActivity I was unaware it was only going to run at 30 on console, that is majorly disappointing! I might be holding off as well now thanks for the info
EDIT: I just read this on the EA website: we’ve heard community feedback surrounding the fps of the game on console. As a result, we’re examining the ability to add it into the game in the future.
Hopefully that's a good sign of a performance mode coming sooner rather than later

Re: Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores (PS5) - Aloy's New Chapter Is Essential for Fans
@tallythwack if you've beaten the game you will get a call on the focus in-game to go to a known location, and from there you will start the DLC
