Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
I'm not gonna lie i'm genuinely uncomfortable with how much of a poor depiction this is when it comes to people with mental illness. It just gets so many things wrong and then the player literally has the option to tell someone who's mentally ill to kill himself. :| I'm liking a lot of what i'm hearing and seeing about this game today but this is some straight up "wtf were they thinking" tier shit writing.
This vid is good very little commentary

The only odd VA is that one guy to me the rest its fine.

Are we sure Easy Allies had a hands on with this?
I'm still not entirely sold on this, but at least it looks nice.
It's cool to make your game map as big as it can possibly be, but I hope Guerilla hasn't forgotten that there needs to be actual stuff to do in all that landmass. Otherwise it's just empty fluff.

It was actually even bigger and they cut down on it for that reason.

To begin to breakdown how flawed a comparison this is would take too much time

Yes Brandon Jones was on stream earlier giving his small impression, he loves it. He is busy with the preview editing right at this moment.

If you're assuming it's some kind of direct "graphical" comparison of prerelease TW3 footage, I assure you it's not. The Horizon gif just reminded me of it is all.

From what they show so far they place look rather pack with stuff so far .

Atrocious voice acting and writing.
Guerilla has never had good writing so it shouldn't be surprising but this is still terrible. Fuuuuuuck

So we can expect it sometime soon?

Does Far Cry Primal have dungeons with puzzle solving, platforming, and boss fights?
I don't want to bring too much negativity to this thread, but watching the Kinda Funny video, it's really not for me.
It just looks incredibly derivative. It's AAA Open World: The Game.
It looks absolutely amazing, the graphics and art direction are mind blowing, it's such a beautifully realized world, but every new element of game design they showed just increased this feeling of "I've played this game before". And, honestly, I never really liked it that much.
It's been a while since I last played an Ubisoft game, but it's my understanding that Watch Dogs 2 doesn't have ubitower stuff, right? Assassin's Creed is nowhere to be seen so far. Other devs are outubisofting Ubisoft.
Even things Miller was excited about left me thinking that it was terribly bland. It has moral choices, but, like, in shades of gray! It's not black and white like Mass Effect! Is this seriously still a selling point? In fact, it's become so standard and expected that I actually find it refreshing when choices are handled in a cartoony and binary way nowadays.
Don't mind me, though, I'm not the biggest fan of Witcher 3 either, and it's many people's GOAT, so the fact that I'm thinking this looks terrible is probably a great sign for people who are into these games. I just thought it could be for me after the last trailer, but I guess it's not.

That makes me wonder... Did GG say anything about the possibility of making "renegade" choices and their consequences?
did you really just ignored everything else in this thread?

There's only one bad cutscene so far. The others are just standard RPG cutscenes, imo ofc.
If only was real.

What? I didn't know my reaction to that one clip needed to also reference everything in the entire thread.

Primal doesn't have any of those things, but I hesitate to call what they have in Horizon "platforming" so much as platform magnetization (Consistent Jump arcs are a vital component of Platforming). We also don't have any info on puzzles and puzzle mechanics and we should be skeptical because they'll more than likely be closer to Uncharted's average puzzle than Zelda.
I have no doubt that Horizon's going to be a good game, but mechanically, I'm not convinced that the variety it has will be as strong as the combat.
Cue me ignoring the story. This stuff is exactly why dialogue wheels with defined protagonists make me nervous. It's so easy to screw up and ruin both part of the character and poorly convey a situation.
Like my article says, Aloy can't freely climb on whatever walls she sees.

This is the best video yet. Very comprehensive and shows that the VA is generally pretty good. Game definitely feels like an RPG after watching that video

One thing I absolutely dislike is Dialogue wheels. Everything else looks great tho.
Left side is just desert, main meat is in the right hand side. You'll be stuck in the Hinterlands
YOU'RE TEARING ME APART ALOY!

If only that's not what the post was about.

Damn...what a lie. Not even the pc maxed 8k version came close to this.
DA:I reference where the Hinterlands had like a million and one things to do and even having to go back a couple times, rest of the maps only had a few scattered things to do.
Ummm I was hoping for gear like in Diablo or TW3 games like, pants, boots, wrist, head, loot and not a whole outfit change.
I dont like it cause if I like an outfit but maybe not the headgear I will be sad.
NOt a game breaking thing mind you but yeah.

Start at the 4 min mark. VA is good and writing is completely fine. Watch the whole vid if you wanna know how it places, it's pretty good (the vid that is)

I'm not basing it on that video alone. I'm basing it on the four other games of theirs I've played. That was just the newest example.
I just find that gif " funny ". Just a comment on how good it was ( in fact it wasn't real ehehe ) ...
I loved The Witcher 3 but i was expecting way more graphic wise ( maybe because of that famous vgx trailer ).
