I don't get it. Doom and Horizon aren't a mixed bag. You get what you get.

If you don't like gory FPS games, don't play Doom. If you don't like open world action games, then don't play Horizon.

I like seeing other people's opinions about games I play and devices I own. Ultimately, the only thing that matters is whether or not I had fun or if I'm happy. Still, I love seeing people agree with me and if they disagree, it's insightful to find out what they didn't like.

For me, I think I'm just tired of games where two people talk and there's a conversation tree (ie: Mass Effect). The decisions barely have impact anymore and I'm used to beautifully rendered people. Also, I kept collecting things without any idea what I was collecting them for. My inventory was filling up and I didn't know what to keep or why I should keep them. The wooden dialog took itself too seriously and I got tired of places with random names like (I'm making these up if you can't tell) "Sister's Vagina" and "Unicorn's Thumb". The game started off (for me) with focus and then, after some emotional moments, I was just wandering around aimlessly and fighting random swarms of robots and tribes of people. This wasn't bad until I kept running into the same types of scenarios.

-Follow this path to find a mystery
-Kill this group of people
-Find this person

I just didn't feel like I was progressing or that something unique was around the corner so I stopped playing.

Horizon is boring, but Doom is the best FPS of this gen.

You should probably give both more time, especially the rpg.

I have played all three. Working my way through HZD right now.

UC4 is a great game all around. Best of the series I would say. I really enjoyed it.
Doom is Doom. Mindless "monotone" fast paced death and gore. It was ok, but didn't really do it for me.
HZD slowly builds up. Quite slowly. Its a big map with lots to do. After the first hour I wasn't all that impressed and a little confused. After putting around 50 hours in now, I'm liking it better than UC4.

Each one of these games has a very different style and feel to it. Also, each person has their own tastes. I've played some Witcher 3 and thought it was good, but I think HZD is better. Maybe playing more Witcher would change my mind, maybe not.

So you've played the intro of both games and stopped?! 

So you as well have only completed the intro, not even the tutorial and complain about it being too linear already?! 

Guys, seriously....have you heard of let's plays?! Try watching some before you buy a game! That way you kind of know what you're getting yourself into. I can't...

Boy don't ya seem like a likeable fellow....Which games do you enjoy?! just asking...

After playing both TW3 and HZD for over 50 hours I prefer HZD. TW3 has a much better start yet the story peaks early and the excessive amount of useless loot and ? spots made me feel more like a garbage collector than an adventurer. I had lost pretty much all interest in the story by the end, the game fizzled out for me. HZD had more interesting combat opportunities, better challenges (hunting lodge) plus the story gets really good towards the end. HZD went out with a bang and I'm hoping there will be a sequel.
If you only play 10 hours of each, TW3 >>> HZD, complete the games HZD >>> TW3.

Good job editing it from "you elisit trash piece of sh*t" to "Boy don't ya seem like a likeable fellow" lol. 

I don't see how any of what I said makes me elitist. Someone said they didn't like the first hour of Doom and Horizon. I replied that you probably judged the games too quickly, but Horizon does have a bad intro. And then someone said that Doom was great because it was like Doom 1. As an avid fan of the original Doom before Doom 2016 came out, I hate seeing this because it's just a misrepresentation of how different the games are. Doom fans say 2016 is like Doom 1 cause it's "fast paced", that was the big contention with Doom 3 - it wasn't fast paced. But both of the games play way differently even with the somewhat similar pacing. The thing about "idk if this is a joke" was in reference to Uncharted 4. Someone asked if Uncharted got better with it's climbing or something like that cause it just felt too easy and like an automated process to them only with a button press(i'm paraphrasing of course). Most uncharted fans have admitted this since the first game, it's not exactly an elitist or hater thing to admit. Though, 4 does the climbing better than other games in the series.

I like ALL of those games from what I've played, especially Doom 2016. Seeing ID software get their franchises back on track is great. 

Anyways since you asked nicely the games I like this generation are : Dark Souls 3, The Witcher 3, Bloodborne, Ni-oh, Breath of the Wild, what I've played of Horizon, Doom 2016, Wolfenstein : The New Order, Playerunknown's Battlegrounds, Overwatch, Rise of the Tomb Raider(idk only Tomb Raider game i've played...I really loved it), Killing Floor 2, Rainbow Six siege, Persona 5 so far, etc. 

I know you weren't being serious when you asked for a list of games, but I don't see how I can be an elitist when I like most new big releases. Criticism doesn't make you an elitist. I definitely criticize games in a crude way, but I don't think the manner of critique is as important as the critique itself. Most of what I said wasn't even a critique, I was answering a question and saying that x game really doesn't play like y game, I literally just criticized Horizon's intro(which is awful).

Sad... send'em to me!
