Does anyone expect this game's price to drop by the summer?

Seeing as Nintendo rarely drops prices for their big titles, I'm thinking it would be better if I pick up Horizon later after a price cut, or I'd be waiting FOREVER for a Zelda price cut

There's really no point in buying both games together or near one another since I can only focus on one at a time anyway.

It's hard to say with Sony, I think Uncharted 4 took a really long time to drop, but then TLG dropped in like a month. Probably more likely than Zelda, but I wouldn't 100% expect it.

 

[Acquiescence]

In this thread I found out that Giant Bomb still review games.

 

[rockx4]

This is false...this won't drop within a month.

It'll probably drop in 2 months or so at most, by that time my schedule from Zelda\Switch will be free.

 

[Skux]

Trying to avoid as much information on the the game as possible.

But could do any of the reviews talk about roughly how many hours worth of content there is?

25-35 for most playthroughs. Completionists will easily find 50+ hours worth.

 

[Memento]

6 million LTD.

Horizon 2 in 2020.

Doing absolutely everything between 45 and 50, that's what most people land on from what I've read

Avatar bet? It will be fall before Horizon drops.

main story is something like 20+ hours ..
if you do all ... then something like 60+ hours..
source.. me.. and some other reviews .. ;o)

 

[WiiRevolution1]

Fantastic reviews!

I personally will be waiting to pick this up since Zelda looks/plays so much better imo but as long as theres no big glitches I will also pick Horizon soonish. Have Zelda, then Persona, and also need to start/finish Gravity Rush 2 so I have a busy first half of the year, but I am very much looking forward to explore Horizon's world too!

 

[Tubie]

Now the journey towards not being spoiled begins.

1 week of being paranoid as fuck lol.

 

[Jawbreaker]

/v/ is crumbling lol

Well, they have one review they can parrot, at least. Horizon Zero Dawn: The C-tier sci-fi!

 

[StoopKid]

6 million LTD.

Horizon 2 in 2020.

Ps5 launch game.

 

[Phenton]

Trying to avoid as much information on the the game as possible.

But do any of the reviews draw parallels to other games when describing size or the world or the amount of content?

One person is 29 hours in and 75% through.

 

[FelipeMGM]

yo brehs, great scores and all...

but how about all that fog huh?

Horizon: Zero Dawn |OT| Land After Time

Horizon: Zero Dawn |OT| Princess Robonoke

 

[DIrtyWeasel]

I was always excited for this game because of how great it looks but I honestly expected 7's and 8's. I'm pleasantly surprised to see so many 9's! Especially the 9.5 from Polygon.

 

[Shambala]

Why is Zelda being brought up so much 😂😂

 

[Floody]

yo guys, great scores and all

but how about that fog?

It's so bad it hid half of US Gamers score.

 

[DieNgamers]

So this is good? Wow! I'm still of the fence because I hate the way Far Cry is built. Well, it's not supposed to be as empty so there's hope.

 

[rockx4]

Avatar bet? It will be fall before Horizon drops.

Why would I bet... I never said it would drop for certain. I said "probably", and even if it doesn't there will be sales. A lower price would be nice when I have more time to play it, but I'll buy it eventually.

 

[Smokey_Run]

Its why I use RottenTomatoes for movie reviews.

But then you end up with movies with an average score of 6-6.5 with 80+ ratings which isn't really indicative of the actual reviews.

 

[Enzo88]

Niiiice. Will pick up after zelda.

 

[Fat4all]

It's so bad it hid half of US Gamers score.

woof

 

[pharmboy044]

Is US Gamer that high up in Metacritics ranking list? Never really heard of this site let alone visited it.

No, I don't think so but the 3 scores in 7's aren't helping either.

 

[Oathbreaker]

Well done GG! A 10/10 from EDGE would be dream.

Spoiler

Chill, it's just a dream.

 

[Memento]

Ps5 launch game.

Probably cross gen

 

[Zojirushi]

Hm I'm somewhat conflicted between great scores and Jeff saying that it's essentially a Far Cry ass Far Cry game which is not at all the type of game I'm in the market for right now.

 

[FelipeMGM]

It's so bad it hid half of US Gamers score.

oh wow lol

 

[StoopKid]

Bgr 5/5

Polygon gave it a 9.5 is stranger than fiction.

 

[Aceofspades]

Impressive scores, well done GG

Are you fucking kidding me.

What kind of dark magic did GG use to make this happen?

 

[Moneal]

Probably cross gen

has sony ever done a cross gen first party title?

 

[Jawbreaker]

Horizon: Zero Dawn |OT| Land After Time

Horizon: Zero Dawn |OT| Princess Robonoke

I'm still fond of my Princess Robonoke title. :]

 

[Timbuktu]

but guerrilla cant make good games.
what happen

I guess they brought some new people in that were good. Killzone games left me cold mostly, but this feels like it came from a different place.

 

[Acquiescence]

/v/ is crumbling lol

Why exactly?

 

[onemanasylum]

Wonder if Sony will do a Pro Horizon Bundle? They should.

 

[Loudninja]

Are you fucking kidding me.

Thats why Kojima wanted to use this engine.

I wonder if the time and weather mechanics are dynamic

 

[Memento]

Are you fucking kidding me.

Is it too spoleiry? I want to see it but if its new environmemts, nopeee

 

[dEvAnGeL]

I think it will stay at 88 on metacritic

 

[klier]

Why is Zelda being brought up so much 😂😂

Because a lot of people are not getting this game because of Zelda.

I am getting it, but for cheaper when I am done with Zelda. My Pro can wait. It's Switch time.

 

[Plum]

Glad to hear it turned out well! Looking forward to playing this in June when I finally have the time to.

 

[Blobbers]

holy shit these fucking reviews

 

[foxbeldin]

Are you fucking kidding me.

The photomode allows to pick the time of day so we'll get amazing day/night cycles gifs from it.

 

[Wollan]

Among trio of strongest new AAA IP debuts this generation alongside Overwatch and Bloodborne.
Amazing work Guerrilla.

 

[Memento]

has sony ever done a cross gen first party title?

I dont think so...

But times are changing, cross gen games are inevitable now with the time games are taking to be developed.

 

[Tubie]

I havent watched a lot of footage from the game and it didn't feel like something too new. Just Aloy standing over a familiar landscape while they show the day/night cycle.

 

[Inuhanyou]

First Tales, Then Nioh, then Horizon. it seems like 2017 is about devs with their last game being shitty coming back in big ways
