Explain why Horizon Forbidden West is a bad game, without using /pol/itics or buzzwords

all open world games are bad

uninspired and braindead gameplay
terrible story
ugly and unlikeable characters

its the same game again and it was already outdated the first time

>It's all the same game

They decided to focus on the worst parts of the first game instead of the best. Shockingly it made no one care about it after a week.

Which is why anons still rage about it to this day, of course.

She’s based on Nikocado Avocado

> 3d open world third person game with stealth, crafting and a massive map with lots of simple side challenges
> this exact formula has been going on for a decade
I've resorted to playing only indies and old games at this point, this shit is unbearable.

What did they mean by this?

They patched out her nipples

Is a generic open world with just a checklist of useless shit to do and forces boring human combats instead of focusing on the robot fights

>playied it and found it meh
>serviceable, leaning more on the good side of meh than the bad side
>the character design was horrible to look at
>the robo dinos are cool, but those types of fights are done way better in Monster Hunter (a game with far better looking characters)
>melee combat was shit, and ranged combat wasn't that good
>it's shit to head shoot someone and barely scratch them becos muh level grinding
>most mechanics are "been there done that" recycled from other games
>it's irritating that your can only hide in the red tipped designated hiding grass
>or can only climb in the yellow painted designated climbing ledges
>the diversity quotas are so blatant it's almost impossible to ignore the /pol/itics you are complaining about

overall it's just another modern game no different from the bulk of AAA mass produced sludge we've had this past decade
the setting is the only thing interesting about it, but the mechanics are generic and insipid while character designs and story are completely unappealing

>repetitive and shallow gameplay
>Aloy is annoying and actively hampers interesting character dynamics
>cutscenes have bad cinematography in spite of perceived high production values, Fallout conversations look more natural

They're still modeled in with full geometry. They changed the texture to the body paint fully masks the previously visible areola is all.

More of the same ubisoft openworld garbage in a scene that is oversaturated with it.

Because games who treat me like a retard is not a game for me same with movies

Boring moviegame.
I'd rather play Skyrim for the 200th time.

>shilled for months in advance
>already forgotten after a month

It's gonna be brought again when it inevitably wins an award at the VGAs, and then no one will talk about it again other than to shitpost.

It's your arrow type, bro. Advanced arrows deal fuckloads more damage than hunter arrows, your level has no impact on your damage output.
The yellow climbing ledges are so prevalent that when you pulse your focus the entire cliffside will light up, how much more could you want? Tree climbing?

its all been done before.
formulaic to death
market research safe for new world order sensibilities.

Sony corrupting other countrys for they're games. Pathetic

Ac reskin with an even more generic and predictable lore

>already forgotten after a month
Which is why there are constant threads crying about it.

The protagonist is modelled off this voice actor guy, but is clearly supposed to be female. This is a glaring blunder

mockery is fun

>Dunkey tells me what to think!

I didn't say that it isn't, but you still clearly have not forgotten about the game.

>Italy lacks statues of real heroines (and of real women in general)
>Erects statue of a fake woman
do corporate fags really...?

generic open world garbage
if you ever played one you played it all

Shit characters
Shit interface
Shit gameplay
Shit graphics
Shit game design

keep

So you want us to describe the problem without talking about the problem got it. Doesnt work that way though.

sayin

>do corporate fags really engage in publicity stunts?
Yes, and it obviously worked, anons can't stop posting that image.

tranime board

Still censorship

But no threads discussing the game in earnest.

A mark of a shit game. Like ds2.

It's unoriginal, the story and characters are boring, all of the weapons are unsatisfying to use and the hitboxes are even worse than Dark Souls somehow.

So are Nintendo first party games and From's souls titles. People like what they like.

>it obviously worked

The lack of loud proclamations from Sony over its sales says otherwise. Theres a reason why this game has no public sales data despite being 2 months old.

Alright, (you)'re on

>The skill tree is useless
>Aloy is a god damn cockhead
>The game is another AAA open world TPS with bamham combat and crafting
>Aloy is just the fucking worst.

You know what they meant

That isn't what censorship is.

Aloy looks like Nikocado Avocado

This. The main character is simply to hateable. Not a nice person. Not a charismatic person.

I can smell her onion pits from here

>Nintendo
Holy cope

Underwater has no combat, Weapons beside the bow are all nerfed, climbing is a nightmare, arr rook same syndrome.

I meant in the gaming spectrum outside of Yea Forums. As soon as Elden Ring came out it got swept under the rug, and the few occasions it got brought up it was because of those HDZ devs complaining about ER.

If you make your character a complete fucking jerk, can you at least have a moment where they get taken down a peg or something? She's just mean all the time for no reason, no one is even rude to her and she's just the worst.

Was gonna buy it until i saw the floating gays and the censored nips

i dont like the main character

If you don't update the game the nipple texture is still there. It's hardwritten into the disc.

Repulsive main character, evidence shows she was designed to be as repulsive as possible
Poorly written plot only a Californian would love
Excess emphasis on /pol/itics, above other gamedev considerations
Ultimately characters and motives are unrelatable for most players, even women and so-called "aboriginal heritage minorities"
Very removed from the normal human experience
Emphasis on story over gameplay, which undermines it in the end since gameplay is subpar
Janky, uninspired, bugged, hardly innovative, follows creatively bankrupt Ubisoft formulas
Overpriced
Better options exist (Elden Ring, Zelda Breath of the Wild)
Developers are assholes who don't respect other development philosophies like ones that prioritize the concept of "fun" (even in a grimdark world full of despair with Type A/Type B ken dolls)

I'm not interested in this game
the first one was okay at best. 5/10.

Generic Ubisoft open world with no style or substance, just a formulaic game that thinks the player is so stupid that they need their hand held.

Astroturfing

>Excess emphasis on /pol/itics
people keep saying this but have never given any sort of example from the game itself.
What /pol/itics are present in the game?

None unless you're so terminally online you cannot handle a white male villain existing ever

CAM ON INGLAND SCORE SUM FACKING GOALS

....what nips? do i want to see this?

Just Google 'aloy nipples' right there.

Really? She was pretty nice in the first one. They made her a bitch in the sequel?
