No way it drops that much.
You do realize that Witcher is pretty much derived from the books.. So the "lore building" you're talking about is pretty much established by the book and not the game itself. Then again, I don't understand why you feel so threatened by this game doing good. It doesn't diminish Witcher's credibility as a game so your cause of concern is baffling.

So with all the Monster Hunter comparisons, I wonder if Sony will push it like that in Japan and get some extra sales that way?

I really want everyone to know how much more Titanfall 2 sold than Nioh. It was a staggering amount.
Most of User Score for exclusives are 0 or 10

Really glad it proved the haters wrong, this game was getting a lot of unfair shit thrown at it. Guerrilla have clearly worked hard to make this amazing game for us and it looks like it's paid off for them.
Now bring on release day, I have some robot dino's to hunt.

Some idiot on [nonamesitenotgivingfreepublicity] gave it a 3.5/5
same person gave NMS a 5/5
Ever wish you could fire somebody for being THAT bad at their job? How out of sync with the industry are you at that point?

Obviously.
I was mainly basing this off the Easy Allies review but I know a couple other reviewers mentioned some repetitive open world elements as well. I was also reading that the characters have a ton of personality and are unique + stand out, but also mentioned that the characters themselves can tend to be on the shallow side. Also that some of the narrative beats don't pick up until the end. I'm excited to form my own opinion when I actually get to play it though!

GG smashed it
I can't wait for my copy to arrive on the 1st.

Reviewers though are much harsher this gen and far less likely to fall for "hype".
The dishing out of 9's and 10's like candy has radically reduced which bodes very well for Horizon now.
Yeah that's true.
I find user reviews more useful months after a game is out when there are more genuine impressions available.

But its not the 0s or 10s i look at look at a few from 7 to 9 and see what it says and then decide.
Stopped going by what the reviewer score are for a few years now after some of the score they have gave games in the past.

Only crazy person would expect this to score better than Witcher 3.
Most people said that it would have better combat which seem to be the case.
This is GG first open world game and RPG 89 is a damn good score this gen .

Back in the day our local news paper had a video game page and the tosser who wrote it gave Halo Reach a 2/10 and I was flabbergasted.
Hope Guerilla continues to higher RPG talent and takes there time with there next game (I think they have another in development that is not Horizon related) as well as the inevitable sequel. We need another CD Project Red/ Obsidian quality RPG studio. Guerrilla still have a little way to go (reading the reviews) particularly when it comes to side quest variety. However in terms of moment to moment game play they seem way ahead. I would love to Chaperone a goat for a change of pace (ala The Witcher), would also be great if there was more organic life. Also imagine if they evolved the nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor and the tribes acted like the gangs in New Vegas.
So Guerilla keeping hiring and RETAINING talent and more importantly take your time with projects. Your two critically acclaimed games both spent many years in the oven( KZN, HZD) Four year dev time is ideal imo - I am sure publishers disagree.
Watching their Dev Diaries they seem really self-aware of criticisms which is good.

I think The Legend of Zelda and Nintendo are going to make it through all of this just fine.

I thought KZ2 & 3 were two of the most mechanically solid first-person shooters of last gen
They were. Shadow Fall too - level design was mediocre on the whole, but the controls and gameplay systems were superb. I did an LTTP a while back where I discuss this stuff more, if you're interested.
Much appreciated, thank you - were you aware of the day one Pro patch that adds a mode that favours framerate at 1080p ?
Nice..

Thank you.
I need to make a decision on what I'm going to do before the game releases.

So reading the reviews it seems like crap/filler side quests are the only real issue, which hopefully can be avoided.
The best thing about being overworked and super-busy in general is that I don't have time nor energy to nitpick games anymore. For example, when it comes to Nioh it's so obvious it has some glaring flaws like lack of enemy types etc., but I can't be bother to muster up any strength to even get annoyed by it, so I am happily playing the game.
The small flaws that have been brought up regarding Horizon probably will mean jack shit to me, which should help me be engrossed with all the awesomeness it's showing. Damn, can't wait to indulge in this escapism.

Awesome, looking forward to it! You guys do great work!
found this Pro vs. vanilla PS4 video..

only 720p though.. which kind of kills the 4K comparison..

My impression was that the side quests were better/as good as the main quest up until the main quests conclusion.

Nothing less objective than doing this to decide if you buy a game or not. Like seriously
Great reception from the gaming press, well done Guerrilla.
The first quarter of this year is stacked and my wallet can only take so much punishment, I just can't shake the feeling that when you take away how amazing the game looks it's still going to play like every other open world game, so for now Horizon you'll have to wait.
