I particularly love and impressed by the night lighting. When you're in the fields, the greeneries come to life when struck by moonlight! The daytime graphics sometimes hurt my eyes, but that's probably because of my TV's video settings. I play on the base PS4 on a non-4K TV though.
No don't tease me like that! I might ignore all these intriguing side quests just to get to that part. Must. Resist!
I truly applaud GG for this game. I haven't finished it yet (I just arrived at Meridian), but the story is so intriguing it makes me feel like I am not playing an open world title but a focused and story-driven adventure game! Seriously, the main characters are oozing with personality, and their lines just make them very believable (not to mention the almost always spot-on facial animations).
I believe Horizon: Zero Dawn has truly raised the bar for open world games. Su...
Wasn't this game supposed to be a free-to-play kinda game?
It's like the Wii all over again with its Wiimote holders, pads, boards and whatnot. This time, however, retailers and Nintendo are marketing such products as "essentials".
I wish Insomniac revisits this franchise. Resistance: Fall of Man had such an intriguing lore behind that almost went out of the door when the sequel came--the lonely, gritty and mysterious atmosphere of the original was replaced with superficial and straight-forward plot of the sequel. I think partly to blame here is the many FPS devs trying to emulate the success of the CoD series, and IG jumped in the bandwagon.
Resistance 3 tried to go back to its roots, and I loved the...
I am super impressed by the NPCs in this game; almost all of them speak to you with believable gestures and expressions--sometimes creepily realistic! The sidequests are also quite varied, with most of them fun or compelling to accomplish.
I beg Konami to sell Silent Hill to Sony if they are just making pachinko machines for it from here on.
I started playing this game just this weekend and the internet is right--the game really sucks you in as you progress. The story is meaty, intriguing and easy to follow which is a mighty challenge in most open world games. Horizon simply nails the narrative front. I am also glad the HUD can be customized. I was kinda distracted by the cluttered HUD by default. This is easily a 9-10 game indeed!
Apps like Youtube and Facebook could really benefit the Switch. One might argue that these apps already entertain you on your phone, but it's always better if another piece of device has the same features.
And let's not forget the built-in feature that is still missing on the device: voice chat. I know the Switch doesn't have a true multiplayer game yet to truly need this, but this is 2017 guys, and their plan is to make a mobile phone app that should have been ...
Not gonna lie, since the first one was considered niche, I though this game would be somewhere between 80 and 85 out of 100 on Metacritic. Getting a 90% average is telling that, A) I was wrong and should apologize; and B) I should get this game as soon as I finish Horizon: Zero Dawn.
*** If it just boasts a considerable jump in performance and specs to accommodate 4K gaming well, I don't see much to be excited about if the games coming for it will also appear on the XBox One.***
"It's a mid-gen console just like the Pro. You don't buy it because it has a new library of games, you buy it because you want better looking and possibly better performance. I am not at all interested in those things and that's why I have a PS4 and an XBO....
Scorpio sends a confusing message really even more so than PS4 Pro did. If it just boasts a considerable jump in performance and specs to accommodate 4K gaming well, I don't see much to be excited about if the games coming for it will also appear on the XBox One. If Scorpio were only a next-gen console, that message would sound more enticing.
That said, the upgrade is probably be seen by MS as an effective way to woo in devs, so more games can appear on their platform--...
I got my eye on you.
I want a new game from ND, something that can give the same multiplayer experience I get from the UC series since 2. Of course, I want a great roller-coaster ride of a story first and foremost, but you know ND, they excel at both single player and multiplayer experiences!
Speaking of loading (issues), I have seen videos of Zelda: BotW on YouTube in which the game seemingly loses some colors and objects on screen. It is highly reminiscent of the NES/SNES era when game cartridges would mold around the plates (my friends and I used to call it the teeth) and when you try to insert the game into the console and play, you'd see bad pixels and incomplete graphics.
I'm guessing, since the Switch uses carts, the plates don't touch the rec...
Should you buy the Switch now just for Zelda if you have a WiiU? No. Should you buy the Switch now just for Zelda if you don't have a WiiU and have a lot of cash? Go!
Personally, as a then early adopter, I highly recommend waiting a year, so Nintendo can enhance the Switch's performance through much needed patches. The syncing issue and minute (but strong) launch lineup I consider good enough reasons to hold off my purchase.
Also, waiting can work...
The initial reviews are stunning so far! This title is definitely on my must-play list. I plan to buy it after Horizon: Zero Dawn, a game which I haven't even bought yet. Nioh eats most of my gaming time!
Oh I get it now. You were not really asking a good question, you were inciting a fanboy war. Well, I wouldn't worry about variation on the PS4 if I were you, because it has (a lot) and will have (a lot) of varied experiences the Wii U and the Switch at this point in time will ever have. And yeah, Persona 5 will be talked about a lot when BoTW steam fizzles out.
Has the review embargo been lifted? I'm very positive P5 will further resuscitate JRPGs back into the market. Here's hoping my standard preorder copy has the DS4 decal included. If not, the complimentary poster will suffice! Happy gaming!
