That quote is BS though. A game for those who love boring side quests?
Its an open world game, unless your zelda and have nostalgia glasses for older game design, i think we're still waiting for that big advancement in the genre.
The critisism of the open world genre as it has existed for a while don't go away unfortunately, especially since horizon has been in development all the while the genre was at its peak.
Taking away the subjective fatigue of open world game design, Horizon surely does what it sets out to do exceptionally well.
If I buy this now, I'll have to cycle through Zelda and Nier as well... May end up waiting tbh
Whose idea was it to release all these games near each other lol
No faith in Nier huh

Fair enough.
You have a very unique opinion let's say... most think the first is average, the second is awesome and by far the best in the series, third is good and SF is horrible.
You are the complete opposite
KZ3 > KZ:SF > KZ2 > KZ1 for me, but I don't think any of them are all that great. I wrote a long-ass post about why KZ3 was better to KZ2 a few years ago but it ended with this:
"It makes me want to see what Guerilla comes up with next for the visuals and the gameplay, but if they can't fix their terrible storytelling abilities they will never have a true hit on their hands."
Sounds like they delivered on that front from most accounts

GAF love
Why shouldn't he?
And not even ONE game this gen got to the high 9 range (95+) which is pretty incredible year 4 into the gen.
I think Zelda has the best shot this year and even gen (until GTA6) to get there.

So you're going to ignore all the other reviews just because this one matches your "hunch"?
Has anyone ever told you that sometimes your hunch is wrong?
For you and the guy you quoted, I'd say hunker down and beat RE7 first. It's fun but it's quick once you get into rhythm.

Not to those who have been following it, it was clear Horizon was going to be a hit awhile ago.
Maybe compare it to all the other reviews? Why take the one negative and say yep not for me when other reviews counter the negative one?

I don't think Persona is as popular as some people think it is.
In the 'me-buying-it-fucking-immediately' regard.

Not really. Haven't played SF but I agree KZ3 is the best out of the first three. By far.
In regards to Horizon I predicted 77~ so I'm bound to eat a crow's wing at least. I'm glad it turned out better than that because the premise is great, but I'm not sold on it based on reviews, will have to try it myself.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
I saw a lot of potential in the game from the beginning and its great to see it reviewing well. Had the game preordered since 2015
So many quality game releases so early in the year. Glad to see good games coming out every month (or should I say week)

it will surely score as good as nioh at the very least, which is only a point away from horizon. these are still great scores.

Kz2 is fantastic, the Guerilla bashing has gotten out of control. Hope Horizon changes that.
Because it's an outlier opinion. Highlighting only it adds more credence to it, when it doesn't come close to matching majority opinion.

I think it might be their highest rated game of this gen, period.
"Horizon was a fluke. One good game doesn't prove anything." posts are inevitable.
I took the 26th to the 7th off lol. Ten days to soak Horizon and Zelda in, and then walk into work on the 8th like...
It's a palate cleansing thing for me. Not sure I can do two open worlds at the same time and/or one after another without ruining my enjoyment by comparing them to each other. I'm taking the 3rd and 7th off too to play Zelda
Was about to place the pre-order but that Best Buy $25 off deal ran out. Was going to do that, Zelda Season Pass and Puyo Puyo Tetris. I guess I'll just hold off since Mass Effect is late March anyway. Oooof this'll be hard to hold off on with the good reviews though.

I guess the anime avatar faction will be all over it (I also can´t wait), but let´s not forget that a Red Dead game is coming out this year - releasing much closer to GOTY season.

In Switzerland it's the other way around: 1 is the worst and 6 is the best, I hope I just blew your mind!!1
let's not witchhunter reviews. Didn't people learn from UC3 debacle among others...
the game has a great score
The most important scientific advances stemmed from "outlier opinions" that went against the mainstream. Just saying.
dunno, Persona 4 Golden has 61 reviews on Metacritic and 93 Metascore http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-vita/persona-4-golden
and Persona 5 is the best game in the series.
Really awesome to see Guerilla's work pay off. They've always been super talented but never could hit that high mark. But no more.
I'm super encouraged about the comments that this is a good open world that doesn't get too boring. I'm well over open worlds now but it can work in some games that know how to pace well. Seems like this could be a special one.

That's not what I meant, I'm expecting it to review extremely well, I just don't think it is as popular as GAF would generally make out - this is strictly on a number of fans/mass appeal basis.
Assuming it is as good as expected, I still don't see it touching RDR in the GAF GOTY awards.
RDR couldn't even beat ME2 in 2010.
that review is pretty munch an outlier right now
Ah ok sorry. Not defending anything (won't even play the game), but this is interesting.
