$275...It really is tempting. Doesn't seem to be any bundles coming for horizon (was hoping for a special one but guess it's too early for special pros)

Considering it is from Guerrilla of all developers, I would remain skeptical.

Watchers side roll:
Having a Pro is fantastic imo. I love it and my 4ktv. No regrets!
My dude really said in game cutscenes. 😂

One ridiculously over-hyped shooter that laid a really solid foundation for sequels
Two really good shooters
One weak launch title (that was still kind of fun)

Traded in my launch PS4 with a bunch of games. Could have traded in more things like my wii U and vita lol i could have paid the whole thing off. Only payed 188 for the Pro. Game stop gives you extra 50 for trading in your current gen console x1 or ps4. I dont think that was bad.
Got 233 for everything. Console and a few launch titles.

70+91+84+73/4=79.5/ round it to get rid of the decimal 80 meta average.
Shadow fall alone topped 2.1 mil back in 2014
Series wasn't some juggernaut no but stop this shit seriously

It is a valid reason, they have not once produced a great game.
I didn't say that their games weren't fun in their own way, but they have never succeeded to make an amazing game as the poster who I quoted said. Their stories have always been bad to okay, their graphics have always been great, and their shooting has always been good, and their campaigns/level design have been mixed.
Because I don't think their games are good I can't say my opinion? I think they are bland shooters with great graphics (for their time), with average level design and a bad story with bad characters. I have every right to be skeptical.

I really dug Shadowfall when I played it. Haters gonna hate. 
Personally I would hope, if those were in the game, that it would be kept a secret as well so that at least Day 1 players, or those playing blind, would be surprised. Those would be quite the "holy shit, here we goooo" moments.
If there are those who are still unsold on this game at the point of release then it would make sense for them to wait for full impressions and reviews because surely someone will have spoiled those secrets by then.
Ps3 GG was a beast, Killzone 2 Metacritic is 91.

I don't think it aged well at all. I think the reason it was praised for its time was for its graphics and its multiplayer. Someone who would play it today, will likely not consider it as good as someone who did when it launched.

Just reserved my copy from Best Buy! After my GCU discount and a couple of certificates, the game will come out to around $25 for me!

You forgot the single player A.I. was great, the enemy A.I. was awesome.

They made some great games, and based on everything we know horizon looks like a safe bet to deliver.

lolyeah, at this point they should even change the boxart to something like this
Great stuff.
Yeah, it was pointed out.

If you are going to respond, use more than a picture calling me a troll. Just because I have an opinion you do not like does not mean that you have the right to call me a troll.
I really did not see anything special about it to be honest.
I disagree. I think it will have great graphics definitely, as it looks amazing. I think it could have average to good gameplay, and good sound. However I think it is okay to remain skeptical of the story, the open world, and the quests themselves along with the little things involved with the games lie towers and collectibles.

Your personal opinion shouldn't matter. The question is whether they have made a "great game". Critically speaking, yes, they have.

Cool. I think I'll believe all of the positive previews for horizon and the 91 metascore and my 70 hours played on KZ2 over expert GAFfer WaffleTaco.
Opinions and all but saying definitive stuff like "GG has never made a good game" when the only semi quantifiable measure we have for determining game quality so obviously counters your statement is a bit foolish.

The Flanking, how they take cover, be it hard cover or soft cover they would adjust their bodies to conceal themselves. How they attacked varied as well and they did it based on your position and they type of ammo you were deploying.

There are instances where vegetation moves when she's interacting with it
https://youtu.be/Dh_muRtr6iM?t=195
It seems to depend on the situation or it could just be the result of a bug that it sometimes doesn't trigger with other vegetation. We know that they said that this build was old and that was the reason why we saw slowdown on the standard PS4.

My personal opinion absolutely should matter, after all I specifically said "I".
Okay you don't have to get snotty with me. And I never said they never made a good game, I said they have not made an amazing or great one.
This is good evidence, and it does elevate the game somewhat.
I never said a deinitive post, I have always said I, which means yes it is my opinion, as I was trying to have a discussion.
We've seen aloy have interaction with the vegetation. Playstation footage
Reveal trailer
But yeah it seems that not all types of foliage has interaction with Aloy for some reason.

Again, I'll trust what previews say then what you say, which detail quests,m variety and characters, all a lot of praise I might add. Average to good gameplay? What open world game have better looking gameplay? People who played it for 4 hours said the open world was the star of the show.
It may be possible to get the two to fight. You can override both a Tallneck and a Thunderjaw. Hypothetically if you can lure a Thunderjaw to a friendly Tallneck, or make Tallnecks attack you with a nearby friendly Thunderjaw, they should fight.

Poor man lol
That's awesome. Is there a video source for this?

These points are shared in a lot of games, not just these two.

Funny stuff
Both of those things happen in Horizon. She interacts with some of the foliage and her clothes get wet as well.

Hey I hope the game is good too, and I am glad that it is looking good so far, all I was saying was that based on the developers past work, I have not impressed with any of their games. I hope that changes with this game, as it looks extremely interesting. Until reviews though, I will not get excited for it.
