Horizon: Zero Dawn costs $60 - Is that a fair price?

Of course it's not. I would have to buy a PS4 for this and a TV if I don't already have one. Also, I need a room to place all the stuff. A couch would be also needed to get comfy. And what about the electric bills? Did anyone thought about that?
What about food? I need food to enjoy my game. So, I don't like cold food, so a stove is also needed. Ah crap, I need another room for that. And a fridge aswell for cold drinks.
And obviously this follows by a toilette to get the food out of my body.
I don't need a bed, though. Can sleep on the couch.

See? 60$ is just not a fair price! Case closed.

So games like Zelda which has subpar visuals and 12 Switch are with more than $50/$60?

With all due respect, you really should consider refraining youself from talking about Nintendo if that's all you have to contribute.

That's not backseat moderating. That's me being tired of your constant, unfair and unreasonable jabs at Nintendo.

Horizon: Zero Dawn is an open world game that retails for $60. One has to wonder if that is a fair price.

The most glaring omission in this game is an online multiplayer component. This shortcoming is not a consequence of a lack of development time, but a conscious decision by Guerilla Games that they didn't even want to implement one. That things can be very different has been demonstrated by Grand Theft Auto V, which also retailed for $60, but had robust online multiplayer modes in addition to all of its singleplayer content.

Horizon: Zero Dawn also lacks a character editor, like it can be found in Skyrim, or at least the option to play as the gender you want. Players aren't provided with a choice. Speaking only for myself here, I don't like female characters.

The game focuses on its singleplayer element, but unfortunately the scope of its world, story and lore is limited. Unlike Final Fantasy XV, there was apparently never a need to produce a movie to go along with the game.

Without a doubt, a lot of corners were cut during the development process of Horizon: Zero Dawn. So I pose the question: Charging $60 for all of this, is that really a fair price?

No, obviously not. And because of it's many shortcomings the sales of the game will severly hurt. To remedy the issue and increase the sales Guerrilla Games should port the game to platforms with bigger userbase: PC, Android and 3DS. This way at least some sales are generated.

Hmm, I didn't think about that. You're a genius, BraLoD!
