Forums - Sony - PS4: Horizon Zero Dawn - What We Loved (Gameinformer)

Various side quests are available; some you even have a choice in, and they affect the quest line and what happens down the road in your game. Don’t expect it to be like The Witcher in terms of scope and consequence, but Guerrilla definitely put an effort into making the world believable and exciting. You can hunt to craft your armor and ammo, NPCs will just call out to you for help as you explore, and then they packed the world with cool relics and other things for you to find that tell more about its history. I was impressed with how much time they spent building up the lore. It looks like areas are split by environments, so the new one we saw was the desert, which was just gorgeous even for a desert! Plus, all the tribes in these different parts have different ways of life and beliefs. There’s even quests to give you more insight on these tribes. In the end, I just feel like there’s a good mix of things for every type of player. Whether you get into the lore of games or just want memorable fights.

This could be a fantastic game, fingers crossed.



Making an indie game : Dead of Day!

Playing Witcher 3 right now, no shame in having missions that aren't as in-depth as the ones in that game. I like the sound of them putting in a lot of effort with the lore and differing tribes, hopefully the writing and mission variety can match the ambition



Because Gameinformer is a trustable source when it comes to evaluating the quality of games....

That's not a site with game journalists, it's a site that lives on money from developers.

Are they not?  

I think I tend to agree with them on most things.  

With their paid reviews too?

Can't think of anything I have disagreed with, but then again I haven't played everything.  

Overwatch: 10/10
God of War 3: 10/10
Dead Space 3: 9.75/10
GTA V: 9.75/10
Dark Souls 2: 9.75/10
Destiny: the taken king: 9.5/10
Rise of the Tomb Raider: 9.5/10
Dragon Age : Inquisition: 9.5/10
Dead Rising: Off the record: 9.5/10
COD: Advanced Warfare: 9.0/10
COD: Black Ops 3: 9.0/10

They are joke journalists who receive money from the big publishers to post outrageously high scores.



No bad reviews to gloat over? Don't worry, just pretend the good previews are from disreputable sources! It's not THAT transparent and won't in any way reflect badly on you.

GTA 5 that high? Credibility destroyed.

^ This.



Lore in GG games is usually garbage. Glad to see it might be better here. Hope the lore and game world end up being the best things about the game.
