I think RDR2 is going to disappoint considering the huge amount of hype for it

So my excitement for the game is justified. I saw the first gameplay and I was really impressed.
Good Job SantaMonica and Cory Balrog.
I hope they will do a new IP (RPG) because I am seeing potential for SM to make a wonderful RPG.

No. Does everyone have to make an RPG? I like this linear open hub world bloodborne approach to games more so than i like the vast open wprld of an RPG. There is more intimacy and familiarity with these smaller worlds than the endless filler you see in these vast open worlds, all od which at some point you spend the bulk of your time fast travelling.

And as far as I am concerned, this GOW is pretty much a new IP. Outside Kratos as a chracter (aka as player avatar) there isn't a single thing tying it to the previous games. There isn't even a jump button. If this weren't called GOW people would see this as a new IP.

and two days before mine......

It won't (I'll say upper 88-91 is the range it will fall in), but it can still sell on par with GoW.

Next Friday you'll all be thankful to hear I'll be missing for a few days.

Ha!

wasn't the HZD score sabotage by troll reviewers that scored the game a 1/10 , 1/5 just to drop the meta score?

i remember something like that going down, surprised it never happned with GOW

I'm here to please. 

Nice to see a God of War back in the 90s again (yea, i'm looking at you Ascension @_@).

Your father was Hitler?

U4 looks like a CGI cutscene, Horizon dont.  Which makes sense since U4 is more linear so it has less thing to render than Horizon.
