Sonys most anticipated games generally sell over 5 million copies from last gen. This gen will yeild a potentially larger installed base. Don't think it will be so easy. Zelda sells well but it does not sell Mario kart well.

God of War is the highest selling hack n slash franchise of all time. Thats undisputed at this point. As far as the highest selling Sony games go, the last of us sold about twelve million between the PS3 and PS4.  That was a new IP mind you.

Who knows, the one thing I do know is that I won't be buying either because they don't appeal to me at all

God of War 3 sold around five to six million. Also, I dont believe PS3 ever hit a 100 million consoles. Ascension sold less because the review scores and buzz fell off the map because the trials of archemedes was too hard for most people.

It is looking highly unlikely that Horizon will best Zelda, even if Zelda turns out to be the worst 3D Zelda of all time. Horizon is a very pretty game, but looks alone do not define a game.

Whyw ould you pick just this one review(or preview whatever it is lol) when there are FAR more that say the game is amazing?

That was disheartening to read. Basically it just says the world is beatiful. That's about it. Sure it says teh trapping is genius, yet rarely can it be utilized, thus a hugely wasted potential.

But beyond the gameplay, inventory/crafting/ect mishaps they point out, the one thing I most wanted to read about was the world. Not the world as in it looking pretty, but as in was teh story engaging. Are the side quests more than just repetative fetch quests. Are the side quest givers interesting and stories/quests interesting that help fill out the world, or as i said just some fetch/material/kill quest.

It's those things that engage me in a Open World. Any game looks pretty after a few hours of nonstop playing. But its the random npc's that fill the world in and make it believable. Heck, it's why mods are so good for games like this (skyrim) because you have people add in those interesting characters and quests that fill teh world out. Otherwise teh game gets boring quckly.

Reading tombs though does sound nice. Puzzles in games like Tomb Raider or Zelda help out games big. In Tomb Raider or Zelda, you go into a dungeon and you are solving a puzzle to get to the end "treasure". In skyrim, you go into a dungeon and just walk forward killing anything inside to get treasure. That is boring. Hoping that Horizon is the former and not the later. Heck, the best part of Rise of Tomb Raider was teh tombs that had zero enemies in. The Shrines in Breath of teh Wild seem to be enemy free and are purely puzzle goodness.

Did you check out any of the other reviews? Ones like this one are rare but others have been giving the game all praise so I would say check them out heck the game is currently sitting at what an 88 or 89 average so it did something right!

Read it first. It's neither a review nor a preview. It is a specific article illustrating the problems of game design in Horizon. And yes these problems do not fit with a game that seeks to outdo Zelda - which are typically showcases of excellent game design. Do people seriously get excited about graphics in this day and age? I am too old to care about visual appearance of a game. Game design and level design is where it's at for me.
