Here's your (You).

Girl bad
Zelda good

It's very good game with minor flaws. Only nincels hates it.

>get rid of human enemies
>flesh out melee a bit more
>remove ropecoaster
>add one more class of weaponry
From an 8 to probably 8.5 or 9

Yeah but why does she look like Zac Efron?

I wouldn't say soul, those cutscenes are pretty cringe

i do not play 30fps action games

I actually really enjoyed the game, though I felt that the combat wasn't fleshed out enough and the story lost me along the way

The true GOTY for 2017

>game has one of the most beautiful open worlds of the last decade
True
>a unique protagonist who isnt "angry white guy with a gun #568" or waifu bait for horny incels
Wrong. Only an actual lesbian/transgender would think Aloy is great
>innovative gameplay style that allows you to decide for yourself how you will take on machines using your potions, ammo, traps and environment
I wouldnt say that's innovative, most open-world action-RPG are just like that
>engaging and unique enemies. Different machine species have different weaknesses and strength
The machines were GREAT. Human enemies were garbage though
>game doesnt handhold and lets you discover things for yourself
What? Game handholds you big time
>Great DLC with no online exploitation and microtransactions
Didnt try the DLC but most people say it's good indeed
>beautiful story without turning into a movie game
Too many story elements are lazily put as note you read instead of cut-scenes /fladhbacks
>every moment of this game just screams SOUL and its ecident by how you literally cannot take a bad screenshot. Every inch of the world is photo-worthy
The game has a good world and good graphics but take a seat buddy, you're getting a little too excited here

Yeah, but it happened to drop right in the middle of understandable backlash to feminazi bullshit, so unfortunately point #2 turned a lot of people off it without ever giving it a chance. And let's be honest, it did kinda pander to SJW bullshit. At least it made an effort to justify it in-universe instead of just shoving the diversity bingo checklist in there and acting like it wasn't weird.

Real pity, because it was pretty great other then that, but got largely overlooked because of it.

Only improvement it really could have used was online multiplayer for some more staying power so it lasted more then a week. Co-op hunting, turn off all the slowmo bullshit and throw four players into the world to go hunt down a specific target together. Really would have let all the gadgets and weapons have a chance to shine when you couldn't rely on just sliding and plinking every weak point in bullet-time and had to co-ordinate with some other players. Maybe slap a hoard/wave defense mode on as well for good measure.

I like the game too user but you aren't getting discussion on this fucking board

>>beautiful story without turning into a movie game
That's where you're wrong. The story is generic and unengaging. But that's not the problem with the game.
The problem is writing. Don't confuse with story. The shittiest story will be engaging with good writing and the best story will be garbage with garbage writing. Horizon has both shit story and shit writing. It is so terrible that it is literally impossible to get any sort of enjoyment out of this gane even though some of its mechanics are alright. That's because due to the abysmal writing the context of all your actions is ruined. This game would benefit greatly from not having any sort of story whatsoever, since the writers couldn't possibly tell any story in a way that is not shit. What they should have done with this game is throw you in the world with all the wuests and activities but remove all the context for your actions. Sounds like a premise for boring piece of shit? Well that's because it is a premise for a boring piece if shit, yet still it would be infinitely better than what this game is.

It had great gameplay and world but the story was abysmal. It played out of something from a bad high school play and I found Aloy whiney and unlikeable the whole game. Even the kino black guy(forget his name) was awful and he basically admits that he's gonna fuck over Aloy the first chance he gets. The character growth that she is supposed to have never comes across because she never stops whining about her place in thw world and not knowing her mother etc etc

>Real pity, because it was pretty great other then that, but got largely overlooked because of it

What are you talking about? The game was really well-received and sold a lot of copies

>All these people saying HZDs story is bad are the same faggots that praise DMC 3

You clearly didnt finish the game

I did tho

I really enjoyed this game. It got repetitive towards the end but what game doesn't?

>but what game doesn't?
A good one

Speak for yourself, all of DMC is garbage that only weebs would enjoy

Yeah, I suppose a better way to word it would be that it didn't have much of a lasting impact.

Exactly

The problem is the story and pacing ruin all the good there is to find.

Have sex

Nice comeback tranny

>a unique protagonist who isnt "angry white guy with a gun #568" or waifu bait for horny incels
Those are the pinnacle of main character designs tho.

Everyone lists uniqueness and creativity as a selling point but one look at consumption habits tells you people don't fucking like it. They like the idea of liking it, probably because they feel they should, but not the thing itself. If they didn't they would not consume in the manner they do. What people say doesn't mean shit, what people do is all that matters.

she literally looks like a foot and the game is bad
have outdoors

its rote garbage

>dreadlocked white girl
Fucking no.

Recently bought the compete edition off playstore for $15. Looking forward to playing it. I find most open world games quite boring now after playing Nintendo's Zelda game but I always hear good things about HZD now that the dust has settled.

>It's very good game with minor flaws. Only nincels hates it.

To be fair, sonychums shilled the game as a Zelda beater and they got BTFO by Nintendo.

No, it's a pretty good game. It was very unfortunate that it was overshadowed by Zelda when it came out. It had a good artstyle and a fairly solid story. Even if one that was very close to the old Hero's Journey template but it's a fine alternative to the television series inspired storytelling of games like Read Dead Redemption 2 or Metal Gear Solid V.

I think it's the gameplay itself that is a bit flawed. The combat against machines it does very well well, even when it could have had a bit more enemy variety. Combat against human enemies was a bit underwhelming though and the quests, while usually well written, had you do the same things too often. The fact that you don't have choices like you do in Witcher 3 or have sideqiests have visible consequences hurt them even more. It's one of the reasons why Didn't enjoy exploring and doing things aside from the main quest as much as I could have.

Ye the game is good.

>>a unique protagonist who isnt "angry white guy with a gun #568" or waifu bait for horny incels
Having a female protagonist who is not overly sexualised is not automatically unique
>>innovative gameplay style that allows you to decide for yourself how you will take on machines using your potions, ammo, traps and environment
The stealth mechanics are extremely weak, the degree to which you can use the environment to your advantage in combat encounters is laughable.
>>beautiful story without turning into a movie game
There are many segments in the game where you're stuck walking through pretty but barren ruins or """investigating'"" scenes using your focus.

Overall the game is a 7/10. Worth the $15 you can get it for but by no means must play.

DMC3 has a far better story than HZD.

>There are many segments in the game where you're stuck walking through pretty but barren ruins or """investigating'"" scenes using your focus.
doesnt make it a movie game

shame, astral chain is one of the best games this year desu

>Suspending gameplay so you can walk forward through a linear setpiece for the requisite period of time before the gameplay can resume is not a trait of a moviegame

No one likes shilling.

No. It isn't. Linear games are games. Story driven games are games. If a game is more than 50% cutscenes with no interaction, maybe then it's fair to call them movie games. Planescape Torment has a lot of text but that doesn't make it a "book game".

those sections take like 30 seconds and the rest of the time you're fighting shit
basically every game is a movie game according to you

Gameplay (especially combat) is stiff and boring as fuck tho

As a Sonyfag, it is constant cringe seeing people sick so much dick over a Ubisoft tier open world game. Get some fucking taste

>a unique protagonist who isnt " waifu bait for horny incels
and that's where they fucked up

Haven't played it. What's so unique and interesting about he protagonist and what's so good about the story?

I'm sick of people not recognizing this game as the masterpiece it is

Well you see she's a tough independent woman that fights her oppressors who think she's not strong because she's a woman! also there's maybe something in there about robot fights or potentially existential themes i dunno it's unimportant to my gender politics.

Lmao what a fag.

I don't understand the love it gets. It looks amazing but I just couldn't get into it at all. The gameplay was boring and the story not interesting.

I dont feel engaged or compelled enough to buy a game unless it has a male protagonist.

Simple as that

sub 30 fps

all you points are immediately dropped since the games another sjw wet dream its already been proven and people moved on get over it tumblur

I want a mecha megalodon in the next game, or at least a mecha giant squid. And more animals, genuine animals, it would be interesting to see them interacting with the robotic ones.

Might as well stick that controller in your cunt too, bitch

>ugly
>badly written
>poorly animated
>terrible quests
>terrible main character
>replaced a patriarchy with a matriarchy for woke points
>tons of filler
Y-yeah... Yea Forums hates it those assholes...

The game is mostly just flaws. Complete garbage. I literally can't think of a single positive about that piece of trash.

You're right but it's also an ugly game made by tasteless developers. It looks exactly if the developers of Killzone tried to make an emotional story about a female protagonist in a fantasy world. They are completely out of their element and everything about the game is complete garbage.

This was one of those games where I can see that it was competently made, but my entire time playing it from beginning to end, I couldn’t fully get into. The gameplay was good, but nothing amazing. The story was interesting, but not enough to be memorable or make me fully invest into it. Aloy was a borderline obnoxious main character and her constantly oscillating between being unnecessarily standoffish to certain characters and Mother Theresa to others when they first meet got annoying. The graphics were good, but no so good to find them legitimately impressive. I had a similar experience with the Tomb Raider reboot. It kinda checked all the boxes of what should be a good game but it somehow ended up as less than the sum of its parts for me.

Decent but forgettable and I know I won’t be bothering with the inevitable sequel.

I hate character action games and DMC and Bayonetta garbage "stories" are just a bunch of random fan service vignettes made by a complete amateur. That being said they still have a more compelling story than the absolute catastrophe that is HZD.

>ability to make convinced robots follow you(maybe needs a limit how many you can convince after this)

Not many things to hate in the game, but the human combat felt almost tacked on at last minute with how laughably bad it was

She sucks actually. The intro is moderately interesting because she's an outcast nobody trusts and she needs to win a trial to join the tribe.

But the tribe gets fucking raided the moment she wins the trial which, despite being incredibly suspicious, causes everyone to love and respect her.

I found the intro area (after the prologue) to be rather dull. Also the fact that hitting bots with a stick was more effective then shooting them with a bow was a deal breaker, so I stopped after 1 hour of play to never touch it again. I didnt touch me ps4 for over a year when I bought it in the budget bin, and pretty used to 144hz by then, so the framerate didnt help (also that tiny fov)
Does it really get good or is it a meme game?

Just wish I didn't have to play it on a weak console and a shit controller.

nothing is gonna reach 144 on console. so you just wasted all that money

Game was $20 so 'all that money' is a quite a stretch

The game steadily gets better and better until you reach Meridian and then kinda stays at that level for the rest of the game

>Also a shitty map copied pasted from a far cry game
>Dumb dialogs as Aloy makes look everyone else as dumbasses, telling to soldiers how to do their jobs, fixing moronic people lives just to make her look cool
>Shitty crafting system that is very underwhelming considering the potential it had
>dated open world structure
>Aloy needs yellow point to climb anything despite being depicted as a super woman

I had my fill with this game, it's okay, just not anywhere close to be a great game even though it had mad potential.

>a unique protagonist who isnt "angry white guy with a gun #568" or waifu bait for horny incels
Yeah, and also completely devoid of any personality or character. Also ugly as fuck.

Ok, might give it a second try

It's just another dull gay open world game. Just like Zelda. The protagonist was boring, poorly realised and derivative, just like the rest of the game. You play one of these games and you've basically played every single one, people only praise them differently depending on which coat of paint they're wearing. Horizon was a 7/10 open world sludge game at BEST, and it was wildly overpraised for being a big exclusive for that year with pretty graphics. Zelda was much the same, except that game didn't even look good.

Arrows do massive damage but you gotta hit the right spots. You can one shot a lot of the early game enemies with eye shots. I played on hard my first time.
