Smart move. Get a Switch once there are more games available.

Might need to stop sniffing glue
I have it in my cart right now. Edit: in U.S., New York, close to NYC.
Edge. Sure a few smaller sites, but I think Edge is the last big one.

Bravo.
60 pages in under eight hours? Starting in the wee hours for many of you? You lot are my kind of mad! I've been eagerly anticipating this title since the first concept art leak and have had it preordered digitally for months now. The wait for another eight days is going to be painful, but at least I have Nioh to keep me company.
The overall tone of the reviews sounds magical, even if it didn't catch absolutely everyone's imagination. Upper 80s seemed like a reasonable goal for the first game in what could be a promising series. I hope Geurilla has plenty of ideas and are keen to dive in, because it seems unlikely this will be one-and-done.
Hang in there, folks!

This is more than photomode, though. Photomode doesn't affect the volumetric clouds, for example.

Well looks like my 88 prediction very well may end up being true

If they score it high maybe it could reach 90.
Whatever happens I think that Horizon will be one of the GOTY.
Is there postgame freeroam?

You will know when he does because it will get its own thread...

Honestly, name me one game where the official art includes the implied colon. (Okay, Nier: Automata is an exception. As are some Kingdom Hearts games. But Japanese titles are weird.)
Horizon: Zero Dawn is totally valid. As is Mass Effect: Andromeda. And Dragon Age: Inquisition. And Killzone: Shadowfall. And Infamous: Second Son.
Even though they're stylized without it.

He said on one of his streams that he'd review it. Late though, since Sony doesn't seem to give him advanced review copies.

Wow fantastic scores, I love a good crow serving. And 30 hours too, I'm going to have to pre-order this.
This generation is really shaping up.

He hasn't said anything about it on Twitter, so probably not, probably doing Zelda and Mass Effect for March instead.
Edit: oh nevermind, seems he's said he will eventually.

the guy above said that in a stream he said he would

Edge please don't be edgy.
There is afaik, but it's going to get old real quick. Going through the game again with good gear and a full skill tree on very hard is far more appealing than running around aimlessly unless the game has proper and lengthy post-game content.
It ranges from 35-60 hours. It's not a short game.

I always thought that the mere fact that they're not on the same line and they're on a smaller text should automatically imply a subtitle.

Guerilla Games, I know you guys are reading this. You guys rock.
ME would probably be an April released review, especially if he doesn't get an RC.
When he was trying to figure out reviews for February, he saw his chat was most interested in Horizon and For Honor, so he said they'd be the 2 he'd focus on.

Woah, don't be too defeatist. You can easily cherry pick one or two reviews and say you were right all along.

Before our review, Guerrilla quoted an average playthrough, with sporadic side content, at 30+ hours.
That was true for me. I finished at 32 hours, doing a lot of side content until the story's midway point, then blitzing the story.
All told, it feels like there's about 60 hours of total content.

So to end this title debate: What does it say on the game case (the side or whatever it's called)? Lamp or any other of the early owners?
That should tell us the official title in plain text.
Yes
Yeah, seen after I posted, guess his only 2 reviews a month rule isn't inflexable.
How are the side quests? Are there fun non-combat weird quests? (Without spoiling anything).

I really want to check this out but I've already commited to Zelda. Damn it.
I'll pick this up first thing after I'm done with that.

i genuinely love how Aloy isn't dressed like a slut or just sexualized in general

Yeah, i have nothing to do lol
Now you gave me an idea of doing this with other top Sony employees lol
I disagree. I had to purposely stop doing side-missions etc so that I could get through the story. The plan is to hit all of that content now, and there's a good variety of side content.
