Says the guy who likes garbage like grounded. That's almost as bad as liking hellblade 2.

Sounds like we will see the remaster announced for more platforms this week of the first horizon!

You're so mad when people don't like your favourite games bro
Glad to see it's been successful and hopefully getting the third iteration.
Really enjoyed my time with the two games and they look beautiful.
Considering these and Death Stranding used Decima, it really should be used more often, let's see a Days Gone 2 in Decima.

Really good games, imo. Looking forward to part three, but hope GG moves on after that. I'm afraid Hulst has other ideas though.
How are you determining they were given out for "free"? Bundles?

I don't care about you, I just worry about understanding how you are not bored of a game where you have to push forward in the thumbstick for many hours straight, but somehow you got bored of Horizon FW in 2 hours.You carry on playing your Horizon games and dont worry about me
It's so fucking ridiculous that the argument your little side bitch

I have no idea what you're talking about. According to psnp 42.33% of all players (who have their trophies set to be visible for public) have finished the last mission, 38.75% finished the epilogue. Meanwhile, in Horizon Zero Dawn (PS4 version), 40.05% of all players earned the last story related trophy.Oh, so maybe that explains why it has one of the lowest completion percentage rates of open world games on Playstation and Xbox. Pc doesnt even need a patch, and it has the lowest completion rate of all platforms...
If you're trying to shit on the arguably best open world game ever made, a 7 year old game that's still the pinnacle of open world designs, try again.

Why is it that folks, like myself, who like these games are the "lowest common denominator"?

It's a game made to appeal to the masses, it's accessible and safe. Ubisoft esque. Compare it Death Stranding for example, which is antithesis of this. It's the same as Marvel movies. It doesn't mean you can't enjoy them as an enthusiast, as I have done so too.

Sounds like most AAA games to me. Games like Death Stranding are the outliers. Accessible and safe are fine as long as the game is fun to play. There are parts of the Ubisoft template that are used in most open world games including Zelda. And yeah, won't be the last time I enjoy a game that is vilified by many "enthusiasts". Can't say I understand folks flocking to threads about games they despise, but it is a first party game so that explains most of it.

Yep, that's why AAA isn't what it once was for many of us, especially from Sony who used to really push innovation. And I don't despise it in the slightest.

Horizon has a ton of fans that don't engage in forums or reddit. They play the games, love them and don't ever discuss except IRL.
I have overused this analogy lately, but it really is the Avatar of games, like when the 2nd Avatar came out Film Twitter was shocked that it made so much money despite being away for a long time.
Enthusiasts are increasingly out of touch with where the direction of travel is going with gaming. You might notice that the biggest games out there are rarely discussed on forums like this (maybe COD is the only one that gets any discussion on here).
We are the generation that got monetized already, all these corpos are looking to the next gen, the Roblox gen, to monetize next and that means pressing the GAAS pedal.

Both games are cool.
As far as sequels, they're all a bit longer than necessary which hurts their pacing (GoW & HFW mainly), but it's crazy that no one acknowledges, specifically, HFW's potential being hampered by cross-gen.
Whoever didn't make it to Burning Shores for a preview of how they take this franchise to the next, they definitely missed out. Man, that last boss was awesome.
Horizon 3 needs to be PS5 and/or PS6 only. That extra power was certainly leveraged in the DLC.

Great games, that's why both were candidates for goty and the series has sold almost 40 million copies.
There is a huge difference between a game that was nominated for GOTY and one that is literally a tech demo
a new IP from a studio that had never made an open world game, came out and was already much better than Ubisoft games... It was so successful that the dumb playboy of the gaming world, Xbox, saw it and said "daddy nadella, I want one too"
Job listing states Microsoft is making a Horizon Zero Dawn-like game
According to a job listing spotted on LinkedIn recently, it looks like Microsoft is working on a Horizon Zero Dawn-like game. If you're logged into LinkedIn, head over to the profile of Sandor Roberts who's asking for game developers to fill the position of Lead Environment Artist. This is great news for Xbox One owners who were hoping for a similar titles on their favorite console.

Need to go ahead and play the DLC. Think I'll do that next after Metaphor. No doubt the sequel will be PS5/6 only. I thought GOWR went on to long but I thought HFW was just right and I got the plat.

You're obsessed with console wars brother. Sony has way better games for you to shill for though just saying.a new IP from a studio that had never made an open world game, came out and was already much better than Ubisoft games...

Tencent copied the game and is facing a lawsuit
The game has already sold 38 million copies
5% of players achieved the Platinum Trophy
32% of everyone who played the game made it to the end and completed the main mission
But "it's not all that"

I'm glad the Horizon games include the option to skip dialogue. Can you imagine having to listen to every NPC's boring thought play out? Probably saved me hours of time.

Gaia, talking about the "toxical patriarchy" was clearly something i did not expect.
Then everything made sense as to why FW sucked and why they destroyed all plot from ZD in favour of ... the message.

It doesn't necessarily translate into actual consumer desire when bundles were often pretty discounted and included alongside one or two more games.

this is reality and your opinion is a fart in the wind
I didn't respond to you and cite facts. You're the one who seems to dislike it when reality contradicts your opinion.
The topic is about facts, sales. But it seems that children don't accept facts that contradict their opinions.

Well the original came out years earlier so it's had more time but it was also a better game, FW looked better but the story was awful and I started calling Aloy, Anoy because she started most conversations with a sigh lol. She just has no personality. The side characters were great I liked all of that but the added gameplay elements didn't feel very good, the grappling line sucked and they nerf any robot you get to ride.

I'm glad.
The games are not perfectly but they are really beautiful, the storytelling in the first one is particularly excellent, gameplay is good, rather than great but the whole package is great.
Power to the redheads.

Jesus, it's good brother. It's like Shadow of the Colossus s*** with Guerilla's spin on mechanics. Glorious.
Don't worry gaming family, by the end of the gen in 2029 (smh lol) your jaws will be dropped. I'm certain. Be patient.

Aloy is ugly and annoying, telling everyone off and that stupid look on her face, the robot dinosaurs are cool though.

I feel like thats what we were discussing. Zero dawn has sold 25 million copies. Every other Horizon game has sold 13m combined. Forbidden West might not have cracked 10 million from these numbers. Why could that be? that people just arent interested in it or the franchise now. The first game was fresh and new but followed a very Ubisoft formula, had one amazing story section. Forbidden West clearly hasnt excited as many players.

This is the problem with milking any new IP that is a hit. Horizon needs to take a break, along with GoW, Uncharted, CoD, Ass Creed, etc.
Focus on new IP and dormant franchises.
Horizon can still sell with a port to Switch 2.
