Yes, I give up, Horizon Zero Dawn is amazing.

Good God, I kind of wish Horizon and Zelda didn't release so closely together, as it seems you can't praise one without the other coming up, as if two games can't be excellent at what they do simultaneously. 

 

Horizon is indeed an amazing game. I still don't know if it beats out Bloodborne for my favorite ps4 exclusive, but it's inching closer the more I play it. 

No kidding.  I knew before I clicked on the link that this would be about Zelda and that the same damn people would be here to stir things up.  

It's the nature of VGChartz.

 

-You can not mention Tomb Raider without somebody running in and saying "It's shit. Uncharted is better." despite the games being very different.

-You can't mention Sunset Overdrive (or back in the day, Prototype) without the inFamous crowd running in calling the game shit or vice versa.

-You can't say anything about Gran Turismo without the Forza crowd attacking its scores. You can't mention Forza without the GT crowd saying "Forza is arcadey. It may be a better racing game but GT is a better simulator!"

-Can't mention PlayStation All Stars without the Smash Bros. guys chiming in.

-Now it seems that you can't mention Horizon without Zelda folk downplaying it and vice versa. The games aren't even similar!

 

It's like it's not enough to enjoy a game. Gamers have to make sure they're having a better time than someone else is having with THEIR game. We are an insecure bunch that apparently need a daily affirmation that other people agree the game(s) we're playing is good and our console of choice is burning.

 

In this particular case, the OP started the comparison, though.
