Stop being a fanboy. All three of them are amazing games. Ive put 132 hours in the Witcher (haven't finished), played 15 hours of HZD with my friend, and tried out BOTW for a few hours. 

 

There's no point in constantly whining. If reviewers are so useless, then why complain over a great game getting 90's across the board?

Being a Fanboy?Hardly.I'm talking about being fair across the board and not judging a game by name.I have seen many games knocked hard for framerate or flat textures being to hard all types of bullshit,while others have smooth sailing.Like it or not reviews more than likely affect sales,which in turn affects getting a sequel or not.

stop being a fanboy dude, gameplay based open-world always better than narrative based open world with minimal interactivity

so Zelda with 98 and Horizon with 88 is justified only a hardcore fanboy disagree with that

Just got the Platinum.

Well done.How many hours.

Took me 56 hours.



Amazing game, especially love the combat and how creative and diverse encounters are. The story is great, but also has tons of random gaming moments that are so memorable. Between this and Nioh have two 10/10 titles for 2017. Really impressed by the quality in so many respects.

I have no issue if he didn't finish it. My main concerns is his review. He complains of the sinple thing and trying to compare the game to the other games. I hate this statetment.
The sad fact for Horizon, and every other open-world game like it, is that we now live in a post-Witcher 3 world. CD Projekt Red has raised the bar for this genre in nearly every conceivable way, and it is absolutely not enough to simply be another open-world game. The sidequests have to be interesting, the writing has to be engaging, the characters have to be memorable – just putting a good premise and great graphics on top of boilerplate content isn’t enough. At least, it’s not enough for this reviewer.

He then also compare it with Far Cry. 

Don't ever compare if you want to be objective with your review. Not every game will be like the this game or that game and you should review the game on what it is and not why didn't this game be like this game  or be like that game.

Also on his review. He complains that he is always beng swarm by enemies and cannot came up with a strategy and the only options is to run and dodge. If you are eing swarm by enemies it is obvious to run and don't engage. 
Clearly he is not utizing the tools he have and not coming up with startegy before he engage.

There's someone commented and asked if he is utilizing the stealth and traps correctly. He then respsonded with an arrogant statement. When that person responded.
He raised a valid point. For me he is ust compllaining the game is hard for him and exlporing the world is not worth it because he will be again gangbang by enemies.

Also, complain that why not have Aloy equip all the weapons or items that he has so he shouldnt be hassle of changing it everytime. 

It juust sickens me when they are revieiwing they always compare it to other games and cannot review it on what it is. Take a look at Bloodborne's review. The main point of his review why Bloodborne is different from Dark soul. 


Bottomline. When they start mentioning other games on their review and compare it. It is  not a obective review already. That wil cloud their judgement because it is playing differently. 

And that is a bad thing? When I was playing Witcher 3, beyond being amazed and loving the game, the thing I was most pumped about was what it showed other developers. I hoped it would be a Halo moment, where it revolutionizes how RPG's are made and those things are not the things that set great games apart from mediocre ones, but become the standard.

And why should a game not be compared to others in the genre, or in teh series, ect. I am comparing BotW with games while I play.

So far it is missing some of teh things Witcher 3 had, such as amazingly in depth side quests. But BotW has also brought some new things to the open world genre that I hope also become standard. 

From what I've seen of Horizon, there is nothing it does beyond graphics that is at the top of its genre. You can point to another game and say it did this or that better. 

I think you missed the point. You cannot revolve your review based on another game and what it was accomplished. Witcher is a great game, there's no doubt about that. 

What's wrong is when you do a review you expect all the games you are reviewing to be like it which is wrong. He should review the based on what he played and not what he played on Witcher 3 and expecting Horizon will be like it.

Anyone have any tips for the Hunting Grounds? As someone who finds the game easy as shit on Normal difficulty I just can't get 3 Blazing Suns on them.

Any in particular you're having trouble with? I've cleared 3 of them so far and some were definitely much harder than the others.

The only one I've succesfully completed is the Nora Hunting Ground. I'll probably just finish the game, get the best weapons, lower the difficulty to easy and do it that way.



I can't remember the last time I played a VideoGame as addictive as this, I can literally just keep playing it. I'm having to just stop myself from playing even though I could go on. Brilliant job from GG
