Did you mean shouldn't be done?

Bathyj1557d ago

No. Why would anyone think that?

Army_of_Darkness1556d ago

🤣 this person's account is a day old.....

waytoobad564d ago

Forbidden west was generic, formulaic garbage compared to the first game

Not in the slightest. HZD looks like a half finished tutorial compared to FW.

SullysCigar1557d ago

Okay, I'll bite. Tell me where HFW isn't better than HZD.

Because everyone else seems to agree that it's awesome and improves over the first game in every way.

CrimsonWing691557d ago

Wait, hang on, let’s have a civil discussion here. Why do you think this isn’t how a sequel should be done?

XbladeTeddy1557d ago

They won't answer that as that means they have to find facts to back up what they say which they won't.

Facial capture makes a big difference, body capture to. As seen from the 1st game to this one. Off note dont know if anyone seen DW9 they were robots.

SullysCigar1557d ago

There is A LOT of praise being heaped on this game! Guerrilla Games are wizards.

talocaca1557d ago

I've played around ten hours and so far I'm really impressed.

It fixes the main problems I had with the original: mediocre sidequests and generic NPCs.

The new machines are also really badass. So far 9/10 from me. With my ONE complaint being that the button mapping is a bit odd for some actions and the platforming could've been tighter.

Eonjay1557d ago

I agree the platforming could have been better. It's my only real complaint. I don't mind the button mapping. My favorite improvement is to the melee combat. I realized while playing the first human boss. What the combat allows you to do is amazing quite frankly.

myfathersbastard1556d ago

Honest question, am I missing something? The combat doesn’t feel much different that HZD to me. I’m loving the game, 9/10 from me as well. But I would have loved some defensive melee stuff. I really feel like I’m missing something. The most effective moves I’ve found so far are just hitting them repeatedly then shooting the glowing orb deal when that pops up.

Flawlessmic1557d ago

Its better in virtually every way!!

Played 17 hours so far and loving it, the world is so much more fleshed out including all the towns/villages and the side quests, they give you, i mean these could be main missions in some games.

If u loved the first horizon then you will love this.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing27d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9228d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit28d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing27d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9227d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
