Jesus man wtf
I think it's basically a 'i don't like it' hence it has no soul type of thing. Really stupid and really annoys me when I see it in reviews.

Do animal crackers pass the paper bag test? They might be too brown.

Note to self, don't fight the t-Rex. Holy fucking shit.
So this really fun sequence of events happened
This is why the game is awesome.
So this really fun sequence of events happened
I had to climb a tall neck and to get to it there was a tall rock that stuck out kind of like a small pride rock from lion king. But to get there I have to swim across a lake filled with robo gators. So I use flame arrows on one and lure him to one side, take off into the water and reach the other side. There are two gators here but they don't see me, the tall neck is starting to make it's way to the jumping point.
So I climb up the rock and wait at the edge for the tallneck but a gator notices me. His alert meter is filling up and he is slowly going up the rock, the tallneck is slowly reaching the point where I can jump up... gator is starting to attack! I fire freeze bombs at it to slow it down, I shoot fire to hopefully stun it, come on tall neck!!! Now it charges at me, ahhhhh, I roll and somehow don't fall off the rock, this thing is all up on the end, I am now just rolling around it. The tall neck is here a run and jump just as the gator swings its tail and misses. As I climb the neck it starts to shoot projectiles at me but misses. I reach the top safely and laugh at the gator at the top of the rock who can't reach me.

This sounds amazing.
It seems to go off the rails at least once a day. The review thread is going to be a mess.

Wait, is the T-Rex different from the Thunderjaw?

I'm not talking about reinventing the wheel but separating yourself from the competition. Bloodborne plays like no other ARPG, including other Souls game, Journey is unlike any other indie game, Shadow of the Colossus is unlike any action adventure, Splatoon is unlike any other shooter, Smash Bros is unlike any other fighter, Pikmin is unlike any other RTS, Pokemon is unlike any other JRPG, Halo and Gears, at first, were unlike any other shooters on console, etc. Horizon distinguishes itself with its enemy encounters, though there's some MonHun DNA in there, and seemingly nothing else. The exploration has been compared to Far Cry to death, but it's not like these comparisons are false (I don't have a massive issue with UbiTowers, but they really feel forced in this setting and they kinda reduce the tall necks to a mechanic rather than them feeling like living creatures like the rest of the machines). Heck, the thing that bothers me more is how Aloy looks like the Red head from GoT. Sony has spoken of her as a mascot and symbol for PlayStation but her design feels like it was done by market research. Again, I haven't played the game, but these are the reasons why others and myself are cautiously optimistic rather than foaming at the mouth for this game.

How do you know it doesn't seperate itself? I don't see any other open world RPG;s where you can fight huge robot dinosaurs , the setting and enemies and gameplay are indeed, different. What else do you expect? The rest of your post is full of reaching, and speculation with really no basis....
A game doesn;t need to re-invent everything to be a flagship exclusive....
Just a bit.

Tks but I'm not taking musician post seriously at this point, I think he's just being purely hyperbolic. He keeps posting something that sounds extremely negative and then follows it up with "plays like a dream" or something. I think he's just (for better or worse) posting his ups and downs is weird, eclectic burst lol.
Sorry but this is pushing it abit. Bloodborne has slightly different mechanics from other souls games in its speed and health regeneration on hits, but to say that it doesn't play like a Souls game is stretching things.
It is very clearly, obviously a souls game. It's just a slightly faster souls game. However the core style of play, from its use of stamina as a resource, the punishment for greed in combat, the fog gates, the UI.... the list goes on!
It seems like you have somewhat unrealistic expectations for Horizon...

Nah, Gies and Polygon are all about social justice. I can see them praising the game for its diversity and nonsexualized female lead.

He said he'd leave for a year if Trump won the election, if I'm not mistaken.

Well first off, you're going to get banned. Don't use the word cracker, jest or not it's not funny.
Secondly, I'll play for myself to see what's forced and what's not but I have the assumption you are dramatically exaggerating.
Thirdly, who cares? Such a weird gripe to have with a game, just seems like you're reaching here. Most games are overwhelming white, as is the gaming industry. So you have a gripe with the few AAA titles that are too much brown?

Fuck... His last post was December 5th.
I don't like the idea of living in an America with Trump and a GAF without Bish...
Bish, we appreciate the sentiment, but you're Canadian -- you don't have to do this! GAF needs you!

This place rips apart cis white males on a daily basis. Didn't think it was a big deal. Or do I need member status to do that?
My apologies
