I really want everyone to know how much more Titanfall 2 sold than Nioh. It was a staggering amount.
Toukiden 2 already out here, and from what I've heard.....sounds not good

I'm going to listen to you more often when you talk about how a game is received internally.

Wow great scores. My head and neck snapped back a bit and eyes widened when I saw Giant Bomb 5/5.

Basically exactly what I expected, shoot even better and I was very high since the reveal. Have been hoping it lives up to my lofty expectations, and it seems like it's even surpassed them!
I'll be ripping through this to finish before Switch is out, thinking I'll enjoy every minute of it ;-)

As in they don't influence my decision to buy a game.
I like to read people's impressions but I'll play the game even if they gave it a 1.
Mafia 3 reviewed poorly. I beat it twice. Love it! If I cared about reviews, I would've missed out on it.
Talking about this , I bet you didn't even know. You seems to be serious,My bad.
... Do you take screens of every post you read on gaf?

There should be more tampons in gaming
-opens browser back up to post. Haha sometimes it's just hard to stay away
Yeah, it's possible and I never disputed that they didn't like the game. If someone has a range of grades and they're firmly nestled between 100 and 80's with a 50 thrown in the there, the 50 would be the outlier, which is what I said. I didn't question the legitimacy of the review or the integrity of the reviewer, I just hope that they are consistent with their grading of other rpgs. My point still stands that there are games that are well reviewed based on name alone, which was the main point of my post.
The vita port was rough, but i've been keeping up with the reception, i haven't heard much concern in terms of the PS4 version, its more of the original game but expanded. What have you heard?

No he just records it for his Let's Play video of NeoGaf browsing.

2017 has been extremely good to me thus far: Resident Evil 7, Nioh and now this... Fuck yeah!
It's like a trainwreck. It's terrible, but you can't look away.
That's expected given they're games in similar genres releasing within a few days of each other from two first party publishers.
They've added in quite a few combat mechanics and design decisions i am digging, but if open world isn't your thing, it can't be helped

The comparison to zelda is cause for some stupid reason these games come out three days next to each other and they are both open world. I paid extra to get this game early just so I can enjoy it fully before zelda. It's a shame many people will have to make a choice that week when everyone who loves these kinds of games should be playing both.
As for what will be better, it's what you want from games. Zelda will be zelda but with physics gameplay and a world with incredible gameplay systems that frankly has never been all put together into a game world that size. What zelda offers horizon does not have.
What horizon does have is giant fucking awesome robots that are like roaming boss battles all over the place. The insane emergent battles that I have been a part of are thrilling and makes me just want to spend hours doing nothing but hunting. The battles are special and I don't think zelda will beat that part of this game. Also the story and art design is great as well. So those aspects horizon has, zelda will probably be better in most other regards. Both will be great. Real gamers play both.

Gurl doesn't ZELDA always gets like 90+ on metacritic with the console games?

It's not even that Giant Bomb gave it a 5/5. I remember Dan Ryckert giving Stardew Valley a well-deserved 5/5 last year. It's that Jeff Gerstmann himself gave it a 5/5 that made me take notice. One of the advantages of listening to someone who is highly critical and difficult to impress is that you immediately take notice when they start gushing over a game. It's what happened with Doom and Hitman last year for me. They weren't even on my radar until Giant Bomb started talking about how amazing they were.

How embarrassing for you to write garbage like this.
It takes at most 7 seconds to capture an image on web and getting the link to share.
The blessing of using a PC. Thanks!!
oh hi, homi.

They said its Open World is worst ever seen, boring
Sounds like a 6~7, they also said it's worse than Toukiden 1

I think this must be the highest reviewed AAA game I've ever encountered in my whole life that I have no desire to play.
fake edit: I said that after browsing OP scores, now that I see metacritic of 88... there are probably some 90 or 91 games that I don't want to play. From scores in OP I estimated it to be a 93 or so.

Well said
yeah pretty weird how metacritic can work. The scores across the board read like a 90.
Will we ever get 90's again this gen?

I'm so glad you came here to tell us this man, I can now sleep tonight.
Zelda has the more traditional open world game combat that we've come to expect, with some cool environmental effects. Horizon seems to have a combat system from a dedicated action game.
Dont worry i will come to your thread as well to spend time with all you homies,
also hows the game reviewing , i hope you are here because you are interested in the game , right??
Pathetic..

As someone who loves boss battles, which really enhanced Shadow of the Colossus and Bloodborne for me, this sounds fucking great.
Who exactly are we talking about here for reference
Noooooooo......
Toukiden was so good. I was really hoping Toukiden 2 would be even better.

Sounds pretty bad... fuck, I liked Toukiden 1 and definitely wanted a sequel but this doesn't sound too optimistic. :/
btw. with all the Zelda/Witcher comparisons I have to wonder which game's gonna come out on top metacritic wise, gotta say, I'm a bit curious.
same feeling. took them too long just to make the mechanics work, now that they have the basics set the sequel will have more content
It's a well written review but I get the feeling that the the score doesn't reflect what was written? The review mentioned numerous niggles but scored the game a 5/5. With all due respect to Jeff. He's probably one of the only game journalists who's opinion I still respect due to his integrity. Have yet to see the quick look.
Glad to see this game is reviewing well!
then its sad that its expected
See, to me, this post is less productive than the multitude of gamers who find both games compelling, but find the side-by-side release dates frustrating. Why shouldn't comparisons be expected in light of that? A lot of gamers probably want both. And unless you foster some sort of political brand-loyalty for one property or the other, I don't understand why you'd find it sad or off-putting that others are comparing two similar, high quality offerings that - for whatever reason - are releasing mere days apart! It's just a matter of which one they buy first. Hence the discussion. It's not like either is getting thrown under the bus! If anything, it's a sign of a creatively healthy industry. Too much choice!

In a very short amount of time we will have this and a new Zelda. What a time to be a gamer!
