Don't swing this as us being the bad guys. You can have your opinions about the game, but spewing slurs isn't cool.

Lamps impressions about the cohesiveness of the world got me all hot and bothered. Honestly, the impressions are making me impressed with this game in a way I absolutely was not expecting.

I expected a game with a great combat system. But all this extra stuff? Don't mind if I do.

Is it worth holding off this until I get a PS4 Pro and a 4K TV? Horizon seems like the type of experience that should be savoured.

This is on pro.

There is pop-in sometimes, particularly when the game decides to suddenly generate enemies or NPCs and you just traveled into a new area it's not finished loading yet. But it's rare and it's usually not very harsh.

Good to know, thanks.

It's not a concern, I'm just pointing it out. I've never seen so much color and so little cracker in a AAA title.

It's refreshing I guess? But odd and forced all the same.

Was there a day 1 patch? And what about encountering bugs?

Whilst I have it pre-ordered, I wonder if it'd be best if I left it till a few patches came out and sorted everything out as that seems to be the norm this generation.

I think there was, but I haven't installed any patch. I've been scared to connect online with having this game so early lol.

I mean, if you don't mind waiting then sure. Personally as much as I'd love to wait until I get a Pro and a 4k TV, I want to play this game too badly to wait until then so I'm going to play it day one on my OG ps4 regardless.

I kinda feel that when you hype up a game this much and want it to be a mascot for your system, people want it to do something new. If Horizon is like a lot of other games on multiple systems, then why should its tie to PlayStation be a big deal.

Alright, well I think I'm just gonna wait for reviews tomorrow. No need to get myself further intrenched into whatever's going on in here.

Personally, I think for a developer that's never done this type of genre to be able to pull all this off is pretty awesome. I think the series has a bright future.

It does something new, while still have things games in it's genre have, if it needs to re-invent the wheel because it is an exclusive, that's a bar no one will hit. NAme one this gen that did?

If you get those two things, your eyes will bleed from the graphics.

those cannisters on certain machines backs do you get those from their corpses even if you dont shoot them off ? or do you have to shoot them off
Click to expand...

You get them from corpses even if you don't shoot them off. But shooting them off starves the machine from important resources, so it does a lot of damage to their health.

The thing I'm MOST looking forward to now is the story.

Goddamn this game. Spent all my money for the month on a Switch and BotW but I'm looking at 4K TVs right now is all I'm saying

Maaaaan I want it too but with Nier and Sniper Elite 4 comin', and I'm still playing Nioh, I might be able to hold out until April. It's a good problem to have for sure.

The game looks beautiful on OG PS4 so I wouldn't hold off. That being said, gaming in 4K (or 4Kinda as some goofs around here like to say) is really awesome and worth the investment.

Because it's could end being a damn good game and that is all you need.
TLOU did not do anything new and it's a big deal .
The game has a unique setting and enemies .
Does it gameplay systems good and that is all you can ask for .
