Horizon Zero Dawn Spoiler-free Impressions (for real this time)
- Thread starter More_Badass
- Start date
Thanks for the answer, a little disappointing, as I usually use a ton of different armour sets when playing big games, but the few they've shown all looked great, so I'll take quality over quantity. You can't mix and match different sets right?

Which one?
It's at least structured way more like a WRPG than a Far Cry, TR, RDR, etc. game is, though, isn't it? In the way you approach main quests and side quests and dialogue and what not.

I don't know if anyone has really asked this but does this game have the 3D audio that UC4 has? Just asking to potentially justify purchasing Sony's platinum headset.
The clocks ticking, I just count the hours (to the review embargo)
Impressions look pretty positive to say the least. This might be my first $60 purchase in quite some time.
Edit:Holy shit, I'm no longer a junior anymore! Now that I'm no longer in fear of a permanent ban, I can stop holding myself back.....to some extent.

That's a little disappointing, but ah well. Was hoping for a bit more variety in the things to do department, but robot dinosaurs is cool enough.
What do you exactly collect and find? Crafting materials?
It'd be like the 4th one of the year already, 2017 has been really good so far.

There's going to be at least 8 GOTY tier games methinks, there's still Persona 5 and Mario Odyssey. Variety in this year's lists is going to either be massive or extremely samey.
And most people that were disappointed with no man's sky were hyped about promises of things we hadn't seen and people hadn't played in previews. In many other games where people are hyped, like Horizon, people are hyped about what we've seen in gameplay from previews and impressions from those that played it. So nothing like the no man's sky situation.
I guess the ones concern trolling saw their chance with the no man's sky backlash and are holding on to it forever to try and prove their point. They're also probably the ones lurking review threads in wait for that one low review to say "Ha! told you so" run away and then later complain how the review thread was a shitshow.

This game has caves? You mean the dungeons, or actual Minecraft-esque caverns?

But what if the phantom thieves steal your heart
There is a Starbucks cave full of Pumpkin Spice generators filled with all the missing white women

Yep! HDR is supported universally on Pro and standard PS4.

C'mon fam.
When amazing current gen games like Doom (2016), Dishonored 2, Titanfall 2 and Ori and the blind forest, all scored below 90, why is it so important for this game to score so high?
People need to rein it in with their 'need' for super high metascores. Instead hope that the game is loved by as many people as possible so that it gets great word of mouth and maximizes it's sales potential. That, at end of the day will matter more to the developers of this game than a 90+ on Metacritic.

Damn, I'm so used to not find what I'm searching on GAF because it goes too fast, this time I must have scrolled to fast and missed it. Thanks!
Thanks.

I really should be going to bed, instead I'm eating Jaffa Cakes and having drink. Staying up will do no good.
Meta doesn't matter to me, would be nice for GG to have their first 90 or over score for this gen though. Anything around the 80's should please anyone.

time to sleep
see you in 6 hours guys!

I still can't believe FFXV and Last Guardian both turned out to be great games after months and years of doubt. I think GAF would've lost its mind if either disappointed (or god forbid, both).

You've still got many hours before the reviews come, friend. Might as well hit the hay now so tomorrow comes faster.

Yeah I have slight insomnia issues I think, takes me a while to get to sleep anyway, plus had bad news earlier this week which hasn't helped.

GAF still lost its mind that they were good so it didn't make a difference.
I'm already torn between Nioh and Yakuza 0 for my early GOTY contenders. But being sold on Horizon's premise since the first trailer along with the previews in here, this shits going to be a tough call by years end.

I'd say that about the Witcher 3 but than I'd get Metacritic scores and sales thrown in my face and when I try to do it back it'll be to late that stuff won't matter again Xp

What am I hearing about them white women brehs ? Link me to the funnies please.
Well let's say that it had so much content that it ended up having 20 hours of excellent content.
Out of 50 hours of content. But still.

Looking at the previews and impressions, I think it's obvious Guerrilla has made a really good game in Horizon. And this being their first open world RPG makes me excited for a potential sequel. They have a really good foundation in place now to build upon.

Wow wow wow this city. I feel I stumbled into a different game. The art design here is so impressive, we have a new standard for open world games. So many quests, so many stories. Voice acting is great, the story is damn good.
BTW it's the first time my regular PS4 started to chug a bit. Clearly drop in frame rate but it's understandable as there is SO MUCH going on screen.
Mostly lore and some stuff to trade. There are some major optional stuff which I feel is a necessity cause it's awesome. Those are the cauldrons people talk of.
