I don't play Multi-player... why waste money on it? just buy an MMO or Star-Wars Battlefront if this is your thing...

Zelda pre-sales are unsurprising given it's the only decent game for the Switch launch.

Zelda was always going to outsell Horizon, lol. It will have better legs as well, if you want to use "it's the only good game at launch" excuse. Even the Wii U version is tracking way ahead of Horizon. Horizon can't even beat that despite being on the best selling console.

We'll see. Wii U also has no other new games to buy. PS4 has other new games to play right now.

Yet CoD and Fifa have no problem selling many millions each year.

What's Horizon's excuse?

Being a new and unproven IP.

And as expected, the irony flew right above many peoples head, and became mostly a Nintendo vs Sony discussion.*sigh*

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

No cow milking minigame, so it's worth about 30$.

So a game might not be worth it because it doesn't have a character creator?

I get where you're coming from. I was so ticked that you couldn't make Nathan Drake a black lady on Uncharted 4. Resident Evil VII should have at leaSt as much online content as Battlefield 1, am I right?!

Seriously... a linear 1-player game experience can (and should) still exist in gaming and, yes, the publisher can ask standard retail price for it.
