Surprising?. If everybody says one thing is orange except for one that says is pink, the surprising is the last claim.

This game had my curiosity, but now it has my attention.
Strong combat with a compelling story is the recipe of a game that will be hard to put down.
I will preorder.

That you should've voted for Hillary.
Wow. Okay so I'll just throw away my PS3, Vita, PS4 Pro, and PS4 because I hate Sony. I'll delete all my platinum trophies and lvl 18 trophy score (which admintadely isn't that high but high enough). Im excited for Horizon but I had concerns about some of it's open world content and me not really liking the character design. I'm glad it turned out to be great and I'm going to get the game, but probably not until Spring break from work.
Haha holy cow. I need to start putting my glasses on the moment I wake up. Autocorrect in combination with no glasses makes embarrassing mistakes.

Agree, the highest and lowest should be removed imo, it makes sense and is fair.
Indeed. They now have tons of experience with a new genre. It will help them on their next game, whether it's gonna be a sequel or a new IP.

Hope the PS4 Peasant runs this at a stable 30 fps without too many framedrops.

The whole post-apocalyptic setting is getting a little played out now for sure. At least Horizon seems to be doing something different with it, what with the inclusion of robot dinosaurs and everything, but Days Gone. Ehhh, that game just looks super workmanlike to me.

Do you feel that way when xbox exclusives get high scores as well?
Have to wait for DF to be sure, but all I've seen is pretty much locked 30 on both, with some cutscene stutters on the standard PS4.
When potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars of employee bonuses are on the line, it makes sense to take it seriously.

In an statistical survey the common thing is to remove the samples beyond the average to avoid bias opinions. This has been made always.
I just realized Polygon gave it 9.5/10
can we pleas stop with the "it's Sony exclusive, so they will give it 7 or 6" posts in the future?
lol

Yeah it makes total sense.
Well Nzyme32 didn't do anything wrong as after all people have a right to their opinions it was just an enlighting post that I found interesting because for the most part if you had so much as a mild interest in the game it was mostly going to be due to the fact you were easily swayed by marketing or that it was the next big game you would use to cheer your favourite console along.

From Telegraph's review:
This is definitely true. I've died quite a few times by biting off more than I could chew. Very challenging fights in this game.
The worst that can happen is you are already fighting a powerful enemy and the fight moves (because the enemy pushes you to a place or you follow it) and more enemies are alerted and then you really have to move your ass away from the fight or you will die.
Also it takes a lot of time to learn the best strategies per enemy and what weapons to use.
thats on shitty ass publishers not outlets
Please make it happen Guerilla.
What's this from? I didn't see an answer.

I understand that.
But the sheer amount of Zombies on screen, coupled with their speed still makes me a bit interested, gameplay wise.

Tell that to the developers and editor´s contracts in which bonus are based on meta scores.

I'm not surprised at the difficulty, KZ2 and 3 weren't walk in the park on normal like most FPS games at that difficulty. Fking Radec fight still gives me nightmare.

People are sleeping on Days gone, more crow to be served with that I am betting.
Of course it is, These companies compete hard.
Horizon is post post apocalypse though, which is a nice change.

That´s on sales, so on devs in the end.
Yeah, that game devs are creatively bankrupt
this here is a valid point
The endgame, they don't want to spoil it.

It's common to not remove outliers. The game has an 89 met score right now, what's the big deal? That's a very high score.

No idea. Perhaps story related? I've played the game through the end so I'm scratching my head here. There are definitely elements to the story that are surprising so perhaps they mean that.
Oh okay. There ya have it.
