Horizon Zero Dawn | PS4/PC | Out Now

[42 Monks]

The variety of enemies and combat in this game is what makes it stand out. They really took their time to make it as interesting as possible. I know I said this already but this is truly the Zelda of Sony. 9.5/10. Can’t wait for the sequel.

I said it somewhere else in this thread, but the first Stalker fight in this game was some of the best design I've ever seen in gaming.

All this time fukking up robots... Suddenly you realize you set off traps, you can't see what you're fighting clearly, and its moving like it knows the area better than you because it does.

"Is this what being prey feels like? "

For real breh. The longer you play the game, the more you feel like an accomplished hunter. Having to have a strategy before you fight each enemy/boss.

There’s no going gung-ho. You have to think about the best way to approach this. Should I set up traps? Should I disable it’s main attack before getting closer? Should I cut off its weapon and use it against it? Do I need to use fire/water/electricity as it’s the key to defeating it?

I can’t sing this game’s praises enough. It’s truly an immersive experience. I know the sequel is already GOTY once it comes out.

Anyone else believe that Faro is still alive in some way, shape or form?

1000 years later though? Nah he gone but may have left behind some additional fukkery

He doesn’t have to been alive physically. He could have uploaded his conscious digitally as he seems like the type of fukkery that he would do.

Layla is literally the worst protagonist in the Assassin's Creed series. I can't believe ______ showed up and gave this nobody the keys to the kingdom Desmond's dad should be modern day main so at least it makes sense.

So is the reason Kassandra is canon, but they have Alexios on the cover and playable because they don’t have faith that the game would sell with sorely a female protagonist?

Yup, that's what the Devs alluded to which is dumb considering HZD did 10M+ on one console

That and the first time I randomly encounter a Rockbreaker had me

The way the enviroment NEVER lets up, specially in Ultra Hard is so damn rewarding to travel, explore and just plain survive. No matter how powerful you get, if you fukk up and get more than 1 big motherfukker going at you, you better haul ass if you don't wanna get got.

And then Frozen Wilds introducing those wolves and bears


The sequel is gonna be insane gameplay wise. And if they are able to keep the story as engaging as in part 1 ...

 

[Easy-E]

Improve the melee and make climbing more skill based and I'm preordering both games right now.

Damn, that game was great.

So I copped the complete edition for $20 for my girl to play last year but she never did, so I’m gonna finally start playing this after i finish my RDR2 playthrough

started it up just to kinda see what it was about and the game pulled me in instantly

Did the tutorial and a couple quick side quests like nothing and I wasn’t even tryna play like that, I already know this game gonna be a hitter for me

 

[MidniteJay]

Sequel is going to be some eye popping piff

 

[DaSk8D00D]

Breh... this game draws you in like a drug. There’s so much to do that you never get bored. This is how you do open world games. Keep the side quests interesting enough as to not deviate away from the main story.

Game is dope as fukk but I over leveled by a fair amount which made the game too easy.

I do this for damn near every RPG type game I play.
