And if even though KZ3 is shit on for some reason, it was low key one of the best single player experiences on the PS3. The pacing was perfect and the co-op gameplay was really fun.

GG + New Vegas & The Witcher 3 writers.

Hee hee, that never happened

And BTW: http://www.gameblog.fr/tests/2690-horizon-zero-dawn-ps4

9/10

For everyone being blown away by GG's essentially first strong push on PS4, where were you in 09 for the Killzone 2 hype train? This is nothing new for GG to blow everyone away with their technical prowess.

Its in my top 3 of all time games, played mp til end of 2015 ( 7 years). I have guys on friend list still playing.

I dont doubt guerilla even after shadow fall. Yakuza managed 84 with 5s and bunch of 7s. I ll go with 85-90 for horizon.

I was there for both betas, demo and final launch. The hype was monumental on GAF.

92 metacritic

same as witcher 3

 

[Gradly]

Almost stepped into dangerous territory.

Be careful, seems like ending spoilers thrown left and right

 

[The Lamp]

I have to go to bed now and finish tomorrow.
What a ride.

Please don't fumble the ending, GG.

This and warhawk are 2 of the most underrated shooters of all time.

 

[MasterMenace]

Just got caught up to page 91 on this impressions thread.

2:04 am EST here.

My heart is pumping....

HYPED AF RIGHT NOW!

 

[gundamkyoukai]

92 metacritic

same as witcher 3

lets not get crazy now lol.

 

[davitpr]

Feels good to have been a loyal supporter of GG along these years.

 

[ChasingComets]

92 metacritic

same as witcher 3

Witcher 3 only got a 92? I wouldn't have thought so with the amount of praise it got.

I'm revising my prediction lower to 87 then.

 

[wenaldy]

I think we need RTTP: Killzone 2 thread lol.

[Obliterator]

I'm crazy I guess but I think Killzone 3 is a much better game than KZ2

 

[LuuKyK]

What I am really curious about, if the game turns out to be good (and apparently it is), is how will reviewers talk about other Guerilla games AKA Killzone, both comparitvely and about the future of the franchises if they feel like somehow Horizon leaves space for a new entry in the future (which I think is very much possible). I really hope this sets GG on a new direction as I am not the biggest fan of the KZ games, dont think they are bad, just very restrictive to the potential of the studio, creative wise at least, especially after so many subsequent entries.

 

[Conscience Falls]

Checking in periodically whilst writing a midterm essay, excited to have some video reviews/discussions to devour in an hour.
Not entirely sure why it feels like the game is out this week rather than next but it certainly does. Hopefully, Night in the Woods and Halo Wars 2 will serve as proper distractions.

Gameblog's offical Metacritic blurb

Few new licenses have been successful in setting the bar so high. Thanks to its varied, dazzling landscapes, its controlled rhythm, and sharp gameplay, Aloy's quest redefines what immersion in an open world means, if it does not revolutionize the genre.

 

[Blastoise]

I fucking know I will be spoiled before the 28th.

Gameblog's offical Metacritic blurb

That's some seriously high praise there.

 

[Skux]

I knew her from when she was writing plays in New Zealand. Talented writer and seems pretty hyped.

 

[Gudji]

One of the minus in the french review is that the ending is not as strong as the rest of the story. Let's see if other reviews point out the same.

 

[VanWinkle]

I knew her from when she was writing plays in New Zealand. Talented writer and seems pretty hyped.

What site does she review on?

 

[HeisenbergWW62]

What site does she review on?

Ign

 

[FarFromAnyGame]

What site does she review on?

Ign.

She gave Uncharted 4 a 9.

 

[LuuKyK]

What site does she review on?

IGN I think.

Edit: Apparently I am right lol.

 

[gocubs]

I knew her from when she was writing plays in New Zealand. Talented writer and seems pretty hyped.

She's doing the IGN review? Or is she working elsewhere?

 

[TimeEffect]

Insane hype GAF in here.

Its really coming off as 90+ by the sounds of some of you guys as opposed to an 80

 

[Kazuo Hirai]

What site does she review on?

IGN , gave uncharted 4 8.8/9.0

BTW, Could anyone tell me whether my new avatar break the rule here?

 

[wig]

I'm guessing an 89 on MC. I hope the game lives up to the hype!

GUERILLA
PLS NO DONT

 

[Obliterator]

Gonna guess very high 80s. I'll go with 88

Lucy's great. She did a really good interview with Josiah Renaudin on The 1099 recently.

 

[Lion Heart]

KZ series is amazing, all these other FPS games get minimal hate and praise for mediocre ass SP campaigns but KZ actually makes the core gameplay fun, they nailed the feel of shootouts and put effort into the hit animations of enemy A.I, something literally no one else does. It ruined COD for me and as good as Titanfall 2 manages to throw cool shit at you, the camera on a stick/auto aim shooting/pea gun bullets severely brings it down.

KZ2 and 3 are both the best FPS campaigns I've played outside of Resistance 3 since Halo 1. KZ3 added some really sick snow levels with the jet pack and the Mauler levels.

GUERILLA
PLS NO DONT

Go to bed!

 

[ieatzombies]

Let's do this folks! Hype

 

[Baroquemantic]

Gonna guess very high 80s. I'll go with 88

I guessed 89 in the 12 games thread. I think it'll land in the 85-90 range.

 

[he who dwells]

HYPE
CAN'T
BE
CONTAINED

God damn, I love review threads. Calling 89 meta.

 

[Skux]

With this level of hype about the story I am expecting some mind-bending twists.

 

[More_Badass]

GUERILLA
PLS NO DONT

Not as strong doesn't equal bad

 

[Inf3cted_b3ast]

Hype lvl is insane.

 

[Socivol]

GUERILLA
PLS NO DONT

After seeing the ending I can see why they would say that.

 

[Kalentan]

87..

Going to guess.

 

[Planisphaerium]

will be cool to watch this unfold as are all review threads.

 

[Gudji]

will be cool to watch this unfold as are all review threads.

The review thread is going to be glorious!

 

[Skeeter49]

Half an hour left. So tempting to see the review thread in its prime, but I think I'm going to fold.
Just remember, a Kat will always be watching.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

I've been lurking this thread all day. Was not expecting to be equally hyped for both this and Zelda. Damn these first 3 months of the year are GOOD

 

[the_id]

I knew her from when she was writing plays in New Zealand. Talented writer and seems pretty hyped.

Didn't know there was a Kiwi writing for IGN. Awesome.

 

[Lion Heart]

I had no intention of staying up but damn 25 minutes to go. WHAT DO!

I really want to go to bed.

 

[ShdwDrake]

Goddammit. I got home too late now I'm not gonna go straight to sleep like I planned fuuuu

 

[VanWinkle]

Remember, guys, that at least one site will score it low. Happens with every game. Don't let it get to you. There's a lot of people that will be reading the review thread just looking for people who are "melting down"/getting overly defensive.
