Absolutely disgusting and ridiculous

I'm a massive Horizon fan but I'll be trying Steel Frontiers instead. This appears to be a disastrous attempt to bend Horizon into a pretzel for Dim Jim's myopic pursuit of a Fortnite clone.

Nintendo's use of the BOTW sequel to appeal to Minecraft and Roblox fans is an example of something a smart leader would devise.

They have recovered well from the poor performance/Story Mode difficulty launch. 10-star ATs sound awesome. Looking forward to G-Rank.

What happened to the earlier post/thread where it was declared toxic to not pre-order 25,000 metal shards for the Horizon fortnite clone

The fact that my next Horizon experience will be an NCSoft game played on PC with an Xbox controller is a huge bummer. I hate you Jim Ryan

@AdamNovice 2028 is crazy optimistic if you ask me, I'd estimate at least a solid 8.5 years between games (late 2030) given that they deprioritized Horizon: Nemesis (or whatever the name is going to be)

Really bummed about the art style and 3rd person gameplay

I built a PC for this and paid for the $100 version... Don't even bother putting Todd the Fraud's folly in your backlog. It's a crashing bore; the writing is complete crap and the ending's lack of originality is groan-inducing.

15 years without new TES or Fallout because of this disaster. Wake me up from this horrible dream

wtf. Satya Nadella, please liberate Fallout from Todd Howard.

Please just make it more like Remake and less like Rebirth

Todd likes to keep BGS small so he can micromanage the ***** out of projects and ensure they adhere to his firm standards of mediocrity.

It's a godsend that his role in the show is nominal. It's hellish that MS has no authority to force him to expand and deliver despite the billions they spent on the studio.

It's so wild to me that MS has owned BGS for nearly 5 years & has basically allowed Howard to sit on Fallout and squander so much free marketing from the show

Affordability is part of it, also Nintendo and Sony ain't exactly churning out a steady stream of system sellers (even if Yotei is cool).

This game rules on PSVR2. That said I'll probably wait for a sale given my backlog rn

@Broosh LR Anjanath is harder than anything the Wilds base game. Diablos and Teostra, too. Rise was easy, yes, especially if you spam silkbinds.

I will go back to Wilds but likely not until G-Rank approaches. Will be busy with Metroid, Yotei, and my backlog before that. The lack of difficulty prior to 9-star Gore was really disappointing.

Nice one!!!! Excited for Lego and NW.

Pacific Drive is massively underrated. My GOTY for last year. Enjoy!

I appreciate that this was intended to announce a JP-only price drop, but every reminder of how badly Sony has botched the PS5 game pipeline reinforces disappointment

It doesn't deserve the hate it gets from some folks and compared to Starfield it's Tolstoy.

Nothing makes Todd Howard happier than a day where he's actively preventing New Vegas 2 while working on a bland & mediocre storyline for Starfield (aka nearly every day of his life since 2015)

The open world isn't worth exploring. The Story Mode difficulty ruins the gameplay loop. And the dumbed-down mechanics are just boring. I'm enjoying 9-star hunts on the occasions I revisit my PC copy, but World 2 would have been a blockbuster. I suspect the bean counters at Capcom will push the franchise in that direction.

@arsmolinarc It seems like they agreed to a deal where Todd maintains complete control over Bethesda & the use of its IP

It's so strange to me that MS paid $7.5B for Bethesda in order to stand idly by while Todd continues to make choices that are bad for business and bad for players

Sony completely wasting Bluepoint after they put out a brilliant launch title for PS5 is the most frustrating thing about this gen for me

Nothing that gets announced anytime soon

@PuppetMaster There is no Bluepoint game, just the shelved live service GoW game.

Also "Bloodborne remake?" written on a whiteboard somewhere in the building

I'll bet ya 689 PS Stars points it's a SoP focused on third-party titles

The console war is over, some of you seem like the Japanese solider who lived in a cave for 30 years

SotS is awesome, everyone should play it. There are too many secret shells to go for the plat but I am gonna hunt some more trophies soon

HELL YES!!!!1!!11

This was the best game of 2024 folks. Play it if you haven't

Hoping for this to come out in Jan/Feb with similar timing to GoT

It's a pretty bad game, actually. Awful writing

They made a lot of mistakes. It was way too easy, the performance is too sloppy, the game isn't pretty much of the time, and the controls/mechanics don't incentivize exploration (which is a shame because the detailed environmental dynamics go to waste). They also didn't go out of their way to make multiplayer w/ friends seamless and hassle-free which is just an absurd thing to be stubborn about in 2025.

The low difficulty was the biggest mistake. I suspect they believed that low difficulty could catapult MH to Smash Brothers- or BOTW-tier sales and it was a huge miscalculation. They dumbed down a lot of the weapons, set enemy damage too low, AND set enemy HP very very low. For the first few months, you were given a Rathian time trial as a sop. When AT Rey Dau couldn't cart me on my first try, I threw up my hands and I've played maybe 5 or 10 hours since then. MH isn't addictive when it feels like the monsters aren't a threat, and if it isn't addictive it doesn't get the word of mouth needed for huge sales numbers.

They are still going to do an expansion, so I hope they learn from their mistakes. Bring back some of the weapon complexity, make the game challenging from day 1 of G-Rank, and fix the performance even if you have to dumb down the environment. Stick to the new approach to the story because it was actually quite good aside from Nata's dialogue.

Agreed, quite right

Platinumed it on PS5 Pro, had a lot of fun. Seems really weird/forced to be in an uproar about jank in a BETHESDA GAME

The difficulty is decent now but it was way too easy for too long. The story mode difficulty of the main campaign makes Wilds hard to fall in love with compared to 5th gen

I will not miss downloading games I don't want to play for forty cents USD. Or missing out on points because I bought a game at launch rather than week 3. At the same time, it's a shame that Sony can't find a way to reward regular users of its overpriced app store

@Lowdefal Damn bro. Preach. I like hunting the odd Platinum but I believe that to be a mental disease on my part

This is an excellent remaster that drives people completely insane. Bummed that I Platinumed it already because "Journeyman mode" would have made for the perfect playthrough.

The combo of AT Rey Dau being super easy and the performance actually getting worse broke the spell that MH cast on me over World and Rise. The game's map exploration doesn't really click, and you kind of run out of stuff to do quickly compared to the last gen. It all adds up to a sour feeling.

I'll go back eventually — and I admit 8-star Gore brought the correct difficulty — but it's disappointing to bounce off of a game in this series after ~100 hours (vs. 500+ over a period of years).

Season 3 could be really great if Mazin doesn't have to babysit Neil / pretend the story for Part II is good

Excited about this. Kinda feels like the Pro is already a PS6

@Hylian-Likely We can't all be Legends of Legends

It's a great game and I'm really enjoying it! Absolutely gorgeous visuals. Makes me glad I got a Pro

Going to hope in vain for a psvr2 mode

I'm horrified by this "buffs only" approach to balancing weapon DPS. The game is already so easy that World is beating its player count regularly.

@B0udoir Same here. Expedition 33 & DS2 are gonna be my focus this summer and then I'll see where Wilds is at after TU3 or 4

@Jacko11 PSVR2 fan here. It is really, really bad that Sony went one-and-done on first-party games for it and this site is right to criticize that

BS partnership. Purpose: enable middle managers at Facebook & Microsoft to appear busy for their quarterly performance reviews

10/10 gameplay, 2/10 story; a grim tedious slog. Not a fan of Neil. Absolutely unbelieveable that we never got multiplayer.
