Just when looking at how game plays in its core loop it makes me think TR Reboots. How movement is done. How collecting, crafting and upgrading is done. How leveling, skills / talents, is done. I don't have any good answer for it, just when looking at the HZ's loop it makes me think TR Reboot.
Even with additions like dialogue system and far more interesting combat.
I sort of understand what you're saying and for you it might be similar to RotTR but I don't agree with your opinion, and I'm sure you're fine with that.
I mean Aloy has the ability to hack and mount a robot for traversal and combat. That alone is enough to set itself apart from RotTR's loop, in my opinion.
It isn't that bow tho
Will see if my view changes tomorrow or Wednesday, depending on if I can score early copy tomorrow.
I was just joking about the bow
Have fun with the game.
A little, but there's so many reviews already that a 9 should probably change nothing considering the game is at 8.8. Anyway, Edge will bump it and there's still PlayStation Magazine UK and AU left, I'm sure those publications won't give the game anything less than a 9.
Yeah I definitely see Edge bumping it closer to a 90 Meta
What is it that you take issue with? Multiple people in this thread who have played the game have said it reminds them of Tomb Raider. A game which pretty much has a metacrtic of 85+. thats a good thing.
I take "issue" with the comparison because it doesn't remind me of RotTR. It's not a big deal, we all have our opinions.
For what it's worth, you came off as being intentionally obtuse during that discussion.
That's nice. I guess questioning a comparison nets you an intentionally obtuse medal. I wasn't insensitive towards the poster or slow in my understanding of the situation.
But I don't think the discussion needs to end, either. This also reminds me of the gameplay found in the gathering hubs of RotTR, and it's mostly because of what the poster described as the gameplay loop. Gather to craft ammo that's used to fight to gain XP and materials to build better ammo and tools that you'll need to gather more things and craft gear. It's a simple comparison because it, by the very nature of a gameplay loop, doesn't really take into account all the other things about Horizon that improve the experience, but I think it makes sense.
Maybe you missed the part where the poster in question considers the quests, combat, gathering and crafting a part of the core gameplay loop.
