It's Guerrilla Games, so I'm expecting mediocrity.Very possible. I'm worried about the story and RPG stuff for sure.
This is the Oscar nominated cutscene from HORIZON ZERO DAWN for the Playstation 4 Professional.
Sony cant catch a break with first party games this gen :lol
They are sooooooooooo lucky Microsoft fucked up at the start of the gen.
I'm super curious to see how the tech holds up. Anyone who is remotely interested in Kojima's next game should be as well.
10/10 would play again from Gerstmann

Gotta say I didn't see that one coming.

It currently has a higher metacritic than Nioh.
I think that is enough justification to pass the crow around. :patel
I'm just glad it is decent. More well made open world games isn't a bad thing.
Meh the combat wont be as good as Nioh :Pwell that much is obvious
Jeff giving it a 5/5 is not that surprising i think.. it looks a lot like Far Cry gameplay wise but way more polished and the setting is way more interesting. He's always been a huge FC fan

He has been burnt out by the current Far Cry formula though so it seems this game was able to mix it up a bit for him to not mind it.
Syndicate was a great game. One of the best shooters of 2012Up there with resistance 2 in great coop gameplay

Two can play that game:

Not exactly changing my mind yet.
It'll sell better than Zelda due to hype and being on a way better console. But that's all it is.Install bases are obviously going to be a factor here as well. The amount of Weeooos out there along with the launch pile of Switch is probably not close to how many PS4s are out there.
I'll wait until someone I trust plays this game and can give me an opinion.
Literally every single game Guerilla (and Lost Boys) worked on has been trash. Such amazing technical talent wasted on horrendous design. :'(
never actually played killzone 2
best killzone i played was on vita :idont

I heard the Vita one was actually good. I just had the misfortune of playing every KZ game(I got 2 a few weeks before launch, only picked it up because of the hype around it), just never clicked with me.
My little brother really wants Horizon, so I'll get to try it out at some point. But last thing you'll see me giving in to is reviews. They haven't been in line with my tastes for the most part in the entirety of the past two generations to be honest.
I've never got the praise for Mercenary. Felt like crap to play and it was just a slog to play. Really small levels that through like 2 or 3 enemies at a time at you.
I don't think FPS work on handhelds. They are never fast paced, have great level design, and interesting encounters.
My only complaint is that my standard bow has become almost useless, and crafting ammo for the sniper bow takes wire, which is in short supply. I spend so many shards buying wire from merchants.I think the standard bow is my most used weapon, actually. I'm specced out with purple mods for damage and tear, it is very much viable. So yeah, Shadow Hunter Bow with the Hardpoint arrows is probably my most frequently used damage dealer and they don't require wire. I only use the sniper on high level bandit camps for headshots and tearblast arrows to knock heavy weapons off of large machines. Like you said, wire becomes an issue and I'd personally rather use the wire for tripwires and the ropecaster.
Just bought the Shadow Hunter Bow last night. Hardpoint arrows make all the difference. I got a 44% damage coil at the end of a quest, which makes this thing pretty powerful.:respect
Got it, went through the tutorial so far.
DEM GRAPHICS WTF DUDE
I started playing this yesterday. Playing in 1080p supersampled, and this game is just unbelievably gorgeous. I've only played up until the Proving, but wow. :o
So is this game actually good?
It's killing me that this game is out at the same time I'm playing Zelda. Are they real different from each other?
Being a higher level doesnt really matter, its all about the outfits and mods you equip in the slots :). Leveling up only gives a little hp and a skill point :).
Started a new game today.
The graphics are still shocking, I can't believe it looks so good on OG PS4. If not for Persona 5, this would have been my GotY.
New Patch (1.30) adds NG+ and ultra-hard setting, with two corresponding trophies. And face paint. Brace yourselves for culture appropriation shitstorm round 2.
First Guerilla Games product that isn't complete trash! :hyper
I just started playing yesterday. Aside from kid Aloy looking like a male gremlin midget with shit animations, game is great!
I just found out that the guy behind the story in Fallout New Vegas wrote this game's narrative. Which explains why it was so well done in that aspect.
Which difficulty?
Do you have auto-aim on?
Are you using melee a lot?
Melee should really only be used via silent strike or as a last resort when things go sideways.
The name of the game is stealth, stealth and more stealth. Ropecaster on big shit when you're discovered. Scan for elemental weakness, use War bow or Sling shot to take advantage of said weaknesses. Head shots on humans. The combat versus humans is probably the weakest part of the game.
suprised there is only going to be one major expansion
- New robots, plural. Not sure how many.
Part of me wonders if this is what Monster Hunter is like.
3 apparently. Pretty sure we've only seen one.They showed off one the new machines on the playstation blog yesterday.
Played a few more hours yesterday, raided my 2nd cauldron. The first one was super great, just trying to avoid machines throughout the crawl, it meandered all over - very evocative! But this 2nd one was already found by cultists, who had set up their own dig. It was easily as long as the first though — and there were several stealth-camo'd Stalkers at the end of it, so it was tough! So I was disappointed that it only unlocked one new robot for Override.That cauldron should unlock 5 new overrides.
Weird, I could have sworn it only unlocked the big cat one. I had Watchers, the horsey guys, the broad-horned yak things, and one of the deer-like robots. After the cauldron, it seemed like only the Very Big Kitty was newly unlocked. I'll have another look today.Played a few more hours yesterday, raided my 2nd cauldron.

You might not have seen all the types it unlocks yet, but yeah. 2 types of Bellowback (the spinosaurus looking one that spits fire or ice), glinthawk, stalker and the behemoth.
Also The Frozen Wilds preload is up, around 8.5gigs.
I am ACHING for a chance to turn a Bellowback on the surrounding cultists. :hyperHaving the big machines fight for you is glorious. :rejoice
You can buy this on Amazon instead of shitty PSN

Is it safe to assume this is the final mission and there's no wander-around-afterward mode?

It's not. Like not even close.
