Is Horizon Zero Dawn a little bit too overhyped?

Is Horizon Zero Dawn a little bit too overhyped?

Only good thing there is might be that Aloy is a qt (shes still quite bland), bows feel nice and enemies are quite distinct.

>little
its fucking garbage and I don't know why its considered good .

It's a fine attempt at a new IP. GG has a good foundation to build off of in a sequel, but yes, it is overrated.

It looked pretty good

Had robo dinos, too, which is cool.

its not overhyped at all, nobody here likes it or talks about it

Yea Forums does not represent every single person on the internet.
This game is praised universally as one of thebest ps4 games

Yea Forums is the only good video game discussion forum, retards like to eat shit

If I had a dollar for every shit Yea Forums recommendation I’d stop being a wagecuck
There’s a reason the saying in here goes always do the opposite of Yea Forums but newfags like you wouldn’t know that

ok snoy shill

Not by a bit. It was legitimately terrible.

Hated the music, protagonist, dialogue choices, writing, quest design, everything. Worst part was probably the world and quest design. Just finding random NPCs on a rock in the middle of nowhere telling you to go to a random place and find their necklace/family member. It's all horrible.

The visuals are also really overrated. Yes, the screenshots look good but the game in motion is mediocre looking.

When I see games being discussed by ANYTHING BUT THE GAMEPLAY I know it's a piece of shit

All nuGames are pieces of shit. All of the PS4 games are for numales.

>hunting robot animals with a crossbow

It road this hype before release and then everyone forgot about it after

On Yea Forums it's a highly underrated hidden gem.

>the game in motion is mediocre looking.
Absolute bullshit.

it's not great but it's not as shit as Yea Forums would like you to believe, nu/v/ has an obsessive hatred for western games that milk a tried and true formula (in this case based on Tomb Raider)

God summer is going to suck on this board

yeah you'll probably start your snoy marketing again and spam 1000+ threads with the same WebM starter like you did with Horizon: Zero Sales

What are Yea Forums's recommended games on ps4?

Yeah. When I was playing the game I noticed that literally every male character was either evil, ineffective, or under the direct authority of a superior female officer.

The game's combat is only decent when Aloy is pitched against large creatures, against small creatures and humans it gets boring really quickly. The story is fairly generic as far as stories concerning rogue AI go, and quite frankly, not having any real control over Aloy's personality beyond choosing how strongly she reacts to certain key choices makes me not invested in her very much, especially when you don't have the option to turn off the annoying think she does where she constantly talks to herself to guide the player.

>i game exclusively on my little ps4 machine

Yikes bro. No wonder you think that looks good

Great tier
Bloodborne
decent
god of war,spider man,persona 5
that's it

>overhyped
i never heard any fucking hype for it ever, in fact everyone here shit on it incessantly pre-release because they didn't have fully functional hair physics. Then when it came out people didn't even play it and kept saying
>MUH MATRIARCHY
even though 15 minutes into the game you find out the matriarchal society aloy's """""born""""" into is actually the least advanced and most prone to getting assfucked by robodinos. I would have thought it Yea Forums's wet dream. The gameplay's even pretty fun, destroying specific monster parts and laying traps down to trip monsters up, even sending them flying off cliffs, though there's only really a handful of spots where you can do this, and you can't do it with the big big beasts like thunderjaws.

anyway, people forced their own political spergery onto it, or refused to give it a try for whatever reason, and it slipped under most radars that I saw. Nobody was talking about it a week after release, and it dropped to $20 within 3 months.

Thanks, but what about Nier Automata and MGS V? Worth a try?

they are not exclusives but yeah they are pretty good.

Lmao don't spoil that to the new idiot let he waste his money to later regret it on shit titles like new Vegas
Zoomey zoomey why are you so dumbey

Imagine my disappointment when after they built up this "trial" for so long as something huge, I was expecting it to be a sort of wilderness hunger games with a bit of mystery and ancient killer contraptions, only for it to really just be some dumb parkour. What a joke.

Typed this from my nintendo labo guys. awesome

A person who believes that Persona 5 is decent should be shot on site. You are a tasteless nigger

lol what the fuck are you on GoW is definitively better than Bloodborne

>Why yes, I did enjoy Horizon: Zero Hype. How could you tell?

Oh, I wasn't talking exclusives only.

And the gameplay it's fantastic in the game idiot everyone knows it except (You) don't come to post your shit opinion if you haven't even played the game

it's incredible overhyped
mediocre repetitive game

Never mind. The tastlessness of this nigger is too strong even for suicide

i voted trump and this was my favorite game on ps4

guaranteed that if they made the MC a nymphet that Yea Forums would love it

>posts that are lies

>doesn’t mention combat
Wonder why

Aloy was pretty cute and she wasnt that old.

Only if it was “dynamic” 540p and on Switch

I like it a lot but you answered your own question with your own opinion.

>repetitive
When people say that in games, what exactly do they mean? Because the loop in HZD is the same as in other games similar to it. Forage, fight, get xp, level up, repeat.

Forage, looting and leveling up give up almost zero sense of progress in Horizon. It' doesnt matter much, you don't achieve anything actually good.

Sony bonus

>uses audio logs as narrative
the most egregious part of it imo. the part with the interviews where it's just back to back audio logs for like an hour was poorly acted and all of the characters were cliches based upon their job titles. it's just so fucking bad

As opposed to what, though? What would be considered good in the game? Personally I like foraging, but when it gets boring I just stop. However if you got nothing but rewards wouldn't that make them just... not special?

Its basically W3 but with shit bland characters and no choices. I don't understand why is the dialogue system even there.

>Is Horizon Zero Dawn a little bit too overhyped?
Gee I wonder why

Attached: 1546079335902.jpg (1988x1013, 1004K)

the arrows and bows are made of the same shit the robots are made of

It has a better camera and combat than W3 at least.

RDR2,devil may cry 5,sekiro,resident evil 2 remake,witcher 3,dark souls 3

yeah the game is pretty average as far as open world games go. what even was the final boss because I don't remember it at all

Different user, but for you how does Watch DOgs 2 hold up? Got hyped into playing the first one (on PS3) again and now I'm curious about the second.

>Only good thing there is might be that Aloy is a qt

The people in this game live in a "tribe" which consists of different races that after thousands of years of living amongst each other still haven't mixed? You have completely Asian, Black and White characters/families, the main protagonist is even a blue-eyed redhead?

Only about 800 years. The apocalypse happened 995 or something years before the start of the game and there was 100 years where there was no life on earth and spoiler alert but the main character is a clone of a failed nazi ubermensch

shes objectively cute

>clone of a failed nazi ubermensch
That caught me by surprise. Then when the credits rolled and I saw Raimi there it all made sense. How does he keep getting away with it?

>failed nazi ubermensch
I dont know if youre memeing, if you are, OK, but if not, when in the game does it hint that?

never played it after how terrible watch dogs 1 was.

Got it on sale for $10, made it to the part where you leave the 'safe' area and hunt the siber tooth robot and just stopped playing out of boredom

it picks up after that

How about Watch Cats?

Attached: Big Pussy.jpg (1280x720, 117K)

Yes. It’s a game made in the United States so of course it sucks. After BOTW especially, this shit is just honestly laughable

they made a pretty big deal of it, user

Same problems all open worls games have.

>Combat is fun for the first 40 hours then you just want to fucking die because everything gets old after awhile.
>Everybody just WRPG robotalk loredumps at you.
>9 million crafting materials with only 3 you actually need and have like a 0.01 droprate.

cats are fucking horrible pets

Less of a pet and more of a roommate.

when

in the game, user

Considering nobody talks about in anymore I'd say it was overhyped at launch

Story is amazing, done by the same guy who did New Vegas.

Its a mess, all that shit with the shadow carja being evil but really not since you can wander around, meridian, carja, its all fucking awful.

And the actual story is meh, AI goes wild trope

Nah it is pretty much rated at the exact place it should be. It is a fun game with bland characters, but overall pretty cool lore and really fun world, enemies and combat.

>uses audio logs as narrative
I didn't listen to a single audio log, so no that isn't what the game uses as narrative. It has audio logs for backstory.

you wont get shit unless you hear the context

So they tried cloning redheads?

>hype
that's just marketing doing what they're supposed to do. It's almost as if you want to blame capitalism.

Nah, everything made perfect sense to me. The exposition cutscenes were very obvious in what they were trying to convey. The voice acting was fine even if the dialog direction was terrible so nothing got lost on me.

>It has audio logs for backstory.
the main story IS a backstory since you're just running around finding out what has already happened in the past.

>even if the dialog direction was terrible
you mean those dialogues revolving around the contents of the audio logs you just ignored?

yeah, but i think its one of the most fine tuned open world games this generation
it has gameplay that is more engaging than most open world games. the humans ai are as bad as most open world games but the monster fighting is always pretty fun
you have a good amount of abilities
and the world knows how to properly place it self. not a lot of empty space

it was a failure, duh

Bloodborne
Sell your ps4 and invest in a video card

> not a lot of empty space
Thats also a problem, the map was bloated with icons
Makes me appreciate some other maps a lot more

basically most open world games kind of suck, but this one is pretty good in a sea of shallow games

haven't played BoTW, AC Odyssey or Red Dead 2 yet so many my opinion will change on it

As it stands its overall better than The Witcher 3, any Farcry game this gen, and AC Origins

The main story is about Aloy discovering why the robots are going crazy, and the hidden objective is that she wants to find her mom or at least find traces of her. The backstory of the game is scattered around in audio logs and just the environment design. You don't have to listen to any of it.
I am talking about the way they talk. Their choice of words and cadence. I think it sounds wrong. I still understood what all the information meant.

>it has gameplay that is more engaging than most open world games. the humans ai are as bad as most open world games but the monster fighting is always pretty fun
Ah, yes, the coveted "better than ubisoft" award

it would say not
an example of a game that is bloated with shit would be AC Unity
i think this game has a fine line of that stuff

ain't saying its a great game
it doesn't do anything new or special or even extraordinary
but what it does, it does well

the bow play is pretty good though
