There's no way to give you reasons for that without spoiling the game's story. He's both the main writer and director of this "Story-driven" action adventure game. The story makes or breaks a game like this, and what he wrote can only be compared to Hollywood modern failures (Star Wars, Terminator, Ghostbusters, you name it). To be honest, I always gave Naughty Dog the benefit of the doubt because they never let me down before, but this, this is the biggest let down I ha...
I don't see the need for settings to be stated. Developers deliver whatever strikes balance between visuals and framrates. And they need to keep it consistent for a smoother, better user experience.
That's still not a good idea if you are going for the optical drive edition. Vertical positioning scratches the discs easily and damages the drive in the long run (because strain happens on the trays that pull the disc and the pickup head--i.e., laser and optics part--that reads it). Also it causes heat accumulation due to horizontally-installed fans not able to push as much air through the vents. (Source: a console repair expert I know *sounds like: trust me dude I know*)
I explored every inch of Horizon Zero Dawn just out of curiosity. The world is amazing, and the sidequests, holograms, and NPCs add to it and form a background for the big picture. I'd take that over mindless A-to-B walking or useless junk disguised as loot any day.
Don't blame them. Negativity Bias is one of the most basic psychological principles in how human beings' minds work. It may vary depending on what a person conceives to be important. The human brain overracts to negative things over positive ones such as criticism or horrible events.
For example, game reviews. The reviewer could list 15 pros about a game and 3 cons. If someone cares about this game, they will more than likely criticise the reviewer over the cons ig...
Rumor has it, it'll release alongside Cyberpunk on September 17th. Nvidia always hunt popular games to keep on their side (performance and optimisation).
It's not a blower design. They went with curved heatsink and a fan on one side and another fan on the backplate (instead of axial fans next to each other).
