Let's not forget that although Horizon sounds and looks promising, it's still a new IP. If anything it could turn out to be another Infamous Second Son: fun to play and to look at, but forgettable in a couple of months.
It's a risk I wouldn't be willing to take. With TR at least we know now what kind of quality and content to expect. I'm holding on the pre-order until the reviews hit to confirm my choice. |

Seriously, there's enough gameplay footage out there, even if the story is trash I know the gameplay will be fun as hell. I wish people would give new IPs more of a chance, or we might see Sony stick to their big sellers, i'm really glad Guerrila made this game. And Mass Effect looks rough as hell from the videos they've shown, not sure how you can pre-order that (take the risk), but not Horizon (which looks much more impressive), just because you've played the previous ME games.

What's funny? I knew exactly what kind of game Rise of Tomb Raider would be after playing Tomb Raider 2013: an action-oriented adventure game with scripted events, hubs, an upgrade system and so on. Rise turned out to be exactly what I expected it to be and I'm 100% convinced that we will get something close to the first two reboot games with the next sequel. Common sense. Their actual recipe worked, there is no reason the next game will be drastically different.

However, I do replay Rise from time to time, same goes for The Last of Us, GTA, Resident Evil... Point is: It could always turn out being fun the first few weeks, then repetitive, or glitched, or broken, like it could also surprise me. We don't know and you don't know more than us the quality of the product. Quote:

Horizon is Guerilla's first attempt at a new IP. The potential is there, but I have no data, nothing, to value the outcomes other than a few gameplay trailers (that could always be scripted)... And so you know, I'm more tempted by Horizon, but like I said, I just don't like to pre-order blindly. Last edited by Isaac; 11-01-17 at 16:00. |

Can't believe i'm saying this but it reminds me a lot of TR/ROTTR with the way she talks, her breathy voice, and those dialogues. Not a fan of animations, lip-sync and their plasticy faces. The rest looks great. |

Outside the wax-like skin textures, it's slowing shaping itself into something that has the potential to be good.
My only concerns: 1- The pacing of the story 2- The side quest 3- How good it will look on the original PS4. I don't want a lag fest or a significant downgrade. |

Such a beautiful trailer for a game that looks so mediocre and boring.

Now in term of gameplay, I'd like to know you based your observations on what exactly? As much as I always favor objectivity and considering none of us could actually play the game yet, everything that was shown looked polished and functional. The gameplay, in fact, doesn't seem too different from Rise and other good selling games out there, including Zelda, Uncharted, Witcher, etc It has the ingredients to be a good game. Will it deliver? Who knows, we'll find out in one month, but the press and the few players who were lucky enough to test it at different conventions expressed positive feelings. Not appealing to you, maybe, but "mediocre" is a bit too intense. Last edited by Isaac; 11-01-17 at 17:39. |

You said "it looks mediocre". I thought you were referring to the visuals.
Quote:
In any case, Horizon will probably not be groundbreaking... Very few game achieve that anyway... but It seems to have taken a little bit of good content from most good games out there and merged them in one product. As for lacking substance, boring, repetitive, I guess it's too soon to tell. The studio said we would have our fair share of side quests and in-game activities outside the main plot. Quote:
Had you worded "repetitive, uninspiring", I wouldn't have said a thing. But I stand that you have no reason to classify this game as "mediocre", not when there has been worse out there. Even No Man Sky doesn't deserve that title lol. Last edited by Isaac; 11-01-17 at 18:02. |
