To be fair, when someone says "I haven't been this hyped since..." they're usually measuring the time in years not months.
Anyone? Tried googling a bit and came up with nothing. Just that side quests are varied but not necessarily epic in scale.
Oh then i guess it would have sounded better if i left gears of war 4 out then. Lol

I'm unusually proud of that one
But yeah no problem, just seemed weird, I took your post as if you were saying it's been a super long time and then listed a recent game

I really want everyone to know how much more Titanfall 2 sold than Nioh. It was a staggering amount.
Nowadays 88= decade ago 92
Some games im cool waiting for but some im like a mad man willing to drive however far and search however high or low to find an early copy. Im pumped

MC average aside, my expectations have skyrocketed for Horizon. I don't think high profile reviews were raving about Uncharted in the same language.
Reviewers were much lenient back then. As much as I liked the first Uncharted it doesn't deserve 88 MC. But I hope you are right about the future of Horizon.

Haha probably would have been better for the effect of your statement, but no worries.
Not really relevant to what we're saying about the phrase that was used.

I'm surprised you read it that way.
This is the part of what he wrote I found snobbish and rather disrespectful:
'Yeah, glad to see I'm not the only one seeing it this way. Same old heavily marketed "graphics" show piece, well suited to those easily marketed to, looking for the above and with a casual enough interest in games that this is enough to satiate them. Meanwhile the rest seems to be the usual folks in for the "hype" of a typical graphical focused first party exclusive title satiating their own ego and platform baiting. Always a little bizarre to look at these things from the outside in and see it for what it is. Game looks as meh as most of these sorts. Good for those into that kind of thing'
How can you call this 'benign'. And no, I am not bent out of shape. Just disappointed that a poster that I respect and thought was above this kind of elitism, wrote this. I could post some of the other posts in that thread that are of a similar nature but I am tired and can't be bothered.

I agree. The Witcher set the bar for open world games.

I'm glad it's getting good reviews, but I just can't get myself excited for this. In theory, it checks all the boxes for me, but just haven't felt any excitement for it. Maybe I'm just needing a break from open world games. On the plus side, I'm not at risk for setting expectations too high for when I do finally play it.

Yea I hear you. Only used Meta since this is the review thread but seems like Aloy is a great character and that HZD is great and warrants a sequel if not more.
Just within the last 10 minutes I was taking a long ride back to a point on the map and some ambient music kicked in and I had to stop where I was and antoniobanderas.gif
Delicious crow will be served.

By today's standards of course not but for it's time I thought it deserved it. Didn't realize how much I loved that game until I replayed it in the remaster and it's behind 2 and then 4 for me.
Hmm...
Yes, it's getting a free pass.

No 88 isn't good, it's great.
Being in like the top 2% of all reviewed games this gen is pretty terrible really. Shame on you Guerrilla.
No, 88 is fantastic.

Yes, by modern review standards, an 88 is great. Really, anything that averages in the 80's and above is worth most people's time.
One can only dream. I find this game more up my alley than the Uncharted series.
I won't have enough time to play Horizon, and Zelda.

My brain hurts even thinking about that. Only thing that helps is that I might be getting HZD this weekend and if so then I'm balls deep until I beat it.
