''But the world of Horizon Forbidden West feels manufactured after a point, like it's all constructed to serve one player.''
This was one of my issues with the first game as well.
There is no actual exploration or discovery. Tech looking stuff peppered across the map with very basic gameplay. Looked very very pretty thats it.
Also i think both StaxUSA and -Foxtrot are grasping at one tiny thing to hate. Thats barely...
Actually a highly detailed review. You're just upset.
I hope this ones better.
I did not enjoy 1.
It can't be that good.
BOTW became a copyable form. Thats what makes it special.
Pass
The game was announced with 100 star systems or so if I remember.
They have released only 1 star system in 10 years.
It's actually convenient to do so when you are going to be using the console with it anyways.
For eg I dont expect everyone to calibrate their 32 inch 100% dci p3 monitors with a professional calibrator. If they can good, but if there are simpler ways, why not?
Also I dont know if you understood whats being shown, it is for the consoles benefit.
I feel it.
It would suck so much to be an ex dev of the BF series. Battlefield series are nothing short of legendary in gaming history.
Seriously tho, my mind is occupied with HZD2, Elden Ring, Dying Light 2, Ghostwire Tokyo, Forspoken and Starfield. Thats the entire year.
From all of that only Starfield is the xbox game that Im thinking of.
I am even thinking of GOW PC, Uncharted PC. Lol even Sony is putting out more games for PC than MS.
Like shit, theres nothing substantial for xbox till November and Stalker 2 is December.
So no need to buy an Xbo...
DLSS is just better in every game.
HZD DLSS like really outshines fsr.
''Ubisoft’s former dev concluded:
“AMD needs to quit forbidding devs to not include DLSS in their sponsored titles and NVIDIA should not intentionally try to make their tech look worse than it is, this just hurts gamers and no one falls for the tricks to begin with so what’s the point?”
Corporations being douchey as usual.
Ooof this looks like the psp version.
April##ber release please.
That is true, nothing as empty.
HZD was the most sparse looking game I have ever played. I hope 2 fixes that.
Even botw which can seem sparse has inifinitely more exploration and discoveries.
Also I hope the traversal on HZD2 isnt semi on rails.
The unusual suspects will tell you that game pass is playing the long quarter and not yearly quarter.
Like epic games is doing with its store and how sony sold consoles on loss before.
The big picture cant be seen from the ground.
If Starfield sells well in the quarter, thats great but it will always be on the store and that means a lot of things in the future.

No lol. The authors paraphrasing is taunting the insecure ppl.
Spencer was just having a conversation.
Destiny 2 was multiplat, is multiplat and kinda needs to remain multiplat or refund every customer for the base game/item/dlc/skins etc etc
Starfield is entirely new.
Xbox is working on game pass. All these games are needed for sure. None of this is spin. This just makes sense.
Rather the author is trying to spin and the comments section usually enter a Phil Spencer based article already pre-spinning.
Halo Infinite was a fun.
HZD was a snorefest. I hope this second one is better.
