Re: Horizon: Zero Dawn

I have watched Gamespot, IGN, Video Gamer and Games radar and most of them have praised the story so far.

Different people having different opinions shocker, as for the Ubisoft comparison the only comparison I'm seeing is crafting parts to make gear.

The rest is nothing like Ubisoft game imo.

Even if the story isn't that good though I don't mind though, I never expected that from it tbh.

Although most seem to agree that the side quests are not that great sadly.

One day Firenze, they brought the day forward to 1st March.

88/100 on metcritic is a pretty good aggregate score.

Glad it didn't flop.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Feb 20, 2017 5:49 pm

Highest of the year so far, but with Zelda and Mass Effect both within the next 3 weeks I'm not sure how long that will last lol.

No 90s so far though even if there's been like 7 80+ games already.

by RealGunner Mon Feb 20, 2017 5:57 pm

Nioh got a user score of 90/100 which is the closest.

Zelda will be like 98/100 lol.

So much for being inspired by The Witcher 3 Rolling Eyes

by Firenze Mon Feb 20, 2017 8:25 pm

hope you can skip all sidequests then

will just play main missions, cba with generic fetch quests, had my fill for the entire generation with FFXV

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Feb 20, 2017 8:37 pm

They are not fetch quests from what I understand BTW, just that they are not as high quality as the main quest stuff.

I guess we'll see.

I mean different people have different opinions lol, there's reviewers who have praised them.

I'd say the mixed reaction to the side quests probably means they are of mixed quality tbh.

by Thimmy Mon Feb 20, 2017 9:15 pm

The Witcher 3's sidequests were of mixed quality. I'm pretty sure everyone and MT's mom thought those were generally excellent, though hmm

Even Yakuza 0 had good to great sidequests. The fetch quests in games need to stop. Now. Combat in Horizon looks pretty fun.

by RealGunner Mon Feb 20, 2017 9:19 pm

Fetch quests in FF15 retired me from gaming

Did you just ignore my previous post then?

As I said because they are not as a high as the main quest doesn't mean they are fetch quests.

In fact I didn't mention fetch quests at all, as most of the reviews I mentioned didn't either.

by Firenze Mon Feb 20, 2017 10:20 pm

almost every quest in TW3 was better than main quests in FFXV lol. I can't remember many that weren't ranging from good-amazing. Reminds me I need to get around to Blood and Wine. Might do that after Horizon and Mass Effect.

I haven't looked at any reviews besides the one I listened to earlier for this and probably won't, I know I'm gonna get it regardless. I did see comments on NEOGAF saying that it's apparently quite a challenging game.

No comparison lol

It's probably a month or so since I finished FF15 but can't remember a single memorable quest apart from the Train scene.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Feb 20, 2017 10:27 pm

Yeah I read that too lol, also most reviews won't tell you much. Most of them seem to feel similarly about the game for the most part. (although some seem to enjoy the story more than others, which is natural I suppose)

Gonna play on normal to be safe lol.

by Firenze Mon Feb 20, 2017 10:36 pm

you already know I'll be on dat easiest difficulty Proud

might try to platinum the game as long as there are no multiple playthrough trophies

by RealGunner Mon Feb 20, 2017 10:37 pm

inb4 do all the sidequests

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Feb 20, 2017 10:48 pm

I'll try and platinum it if I really like it a lot

Witcher 3 is the only game I actually bothered to so far lol.

by RealGunner Mon Feb 20, 2017 11:03 pm

After playing it 5-6 times, platinum should come naturally ffs

I was speaking in general. No need to get all defensive, lol.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Feb 20, 2017 11:24 pm

I did it before then hmm

Besides it doesn't come naturally when you ignore Gwent, various weird random things like chucking people off edges, headshot people with crossbows and igniting people with Dragons Dream bomb, only playing on normal and so on.

I don't look at trophy lists and if I didn't decide 3 playthroughs in to do it I probably wouldn't have done any of those things till this day. ( well except Death March and Gwent anyway)

I don't know how you manage to shuffle these games around after you buy them. Surely, you end up not ever playing some of them? It would definitely make more economical sense to purchase games that you know you're going to play through to the end Razz

You can just pick up the other games for cheap, later on.
