Same rules as the GOW thread. (http://vizioneck.com/forum/index.php?topic=6155.0) Give a high, medium, and low prediction.

IE you expect it to get a 95 so you set that as your middle. Then you set 97 as your high because you don't think the game has a good chance of scoring above that. Then you set 88 as your low because you don't expect the game to score lower than that.

RESULTS WILL NOW BE SCORED SO THAT AN OVERALL WINNER CAN BE DETERMINED AT THE END OF THE YEAR. IF YOU HAVE THE CLOSEST PREDICTION, YOU EARN POINTS: SCORE +=100-(high prediction-low prediction)*2. IF THE FINAL MC FALLS OUTSIDE YOUR HIGH AND LOW PREDICTIONS, YOU LOSE POINTS: SCORE -=50.

Review embargo ends when the countdown ends. Feel free to post predictions and edit them up till that time.

I know this is months away yet, but preorders just opened, and the game has gotten a lot of criticism due to the lack of a free upgrade option, or even a paid one.

This Forbes article is just dishonest. 
Sony Explicitly Said A PS5 ‘Horizon Forbidden West’ Upgrade Would Be Free (https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2021/09/03/sony-explicitly-said-a-ps5-horizon-forbidden-west-upgrade-would-be-free/amp/)

I do wonder if it'll cause a change though.

Post by: kitler53 on Sep 03, 2021, 02:43 PM
ps5 games are $70.  horizon is cross-gen.  The alternative to a paid upgrade is that the ps4 game just flat out cost $70 instead of $60.  

if anything that will be the change so complainers should really stfu or what they'll get is a "free upgrade" by only having access to the ps5 pricing model.

I think a lot of people would be fine with a paid upgrade, but Horizon doesn't even offer that.  

If you want to upgrade from PS4 -> PS5, you need to either get the $80 Deluxe Edition or one of the pricier ones.  Or buy out the two games outright.

great, except when a title doesn't support smart delivery (aka every 3rd party game) at which point you're upgrade path is even worse than on playstation.   ...buy the game a second time at full price.

if you are reading the same resetera thread i am most or saying this is sooo confusing the the customer and dishonest and anti-consumer.   

i went to the horizon pre-order page.   the versions very clearly call out what you are buying.
https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10000886/

you don't have to like it but the current criticism is grounded in BS.    this is absolutely no different than what movies have been doing.

dvd: $20
blu ray: $30
dvd + blu ray + digital code: $40

Sony feels like they're being really dishonest about Horizon FW PS5

Quote
Last year we made a commitment to deliver free upgrades for our cross-gen launch titles, which included Horizon Forbidden West. While the pandemic's profound impact pushed Forbidden West out of the launch window we initially envisioned, we will stand by our offer: Players who purchase Horizon Forbidden West on PlayStation 4 will be able to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version for free.
They put out this statement 3 months ago.  

PS store still says nothing about it.  

On PS5, I can't even search for the PS4 version. I can only find the $70 PS5 version. The PS4 version isn't mentioned on PS5, except in the $80 or so digital deluxe version.

I will end up buying it on my phone, so it's not the biggest deal.  But why.

I think I might hold out till the first price drop. I loved the first one and I love the zeitgeist of playing big Sony games day one but they've done a poor job selling the price hike.

Melee like that was always a huge weakpoint for the first game.

It would be cool if this ended up being a Uncharted 1 -> Uncharted 2 style jump, where the game is much the same, but with a lot more polish.

Bruh, horizon ZD came out in early 2017. They were targeting 2016. So preproduction likely started in late 2016 as they were polishing horizon ZD. What hardware where they supposed to target? At that point nobody knew what PS5 was going to be. Heck SSDs and Raytracing in consoles was a pipedream.

In late 2016 youd expect them to consider PS4 as a piece of hardware, since they need something to actually work on. Also this was intended to come out earlier without a doubt, but no doubt covid iced things up.

if you don't want toclick the link it simply points to a rumor of the tall neck getting a lego build.  i don't typically care for these sorts of swag but this could be one of the cooler ones like the millenium falcon.  although the price point suggests a fairly small build.

Down to 90 with 42 on open. Was 92 for a while. Must have had a low score pull it down.

Seems we all did a pretty good job predicting.

EDT: meta is now live. Both at 88 with lots of reviews. A few random 6/10 scores which will be interesting to read after playing.

89 on meta, same as the original, very very solid review scores. It seems a shame that both games are on the brink of the coveted "90" meta mark

Either way, Sony and GG will be happy with the scores

this is the sequel to GoW,.. it's such a strong foundation that they literally cannot fudge this up.  i'm not sure where the story goes from here but i have faith it will be good.   all they really need to do is make more and more interesting bosses and this game will be amazing.   people may think its not as groundbreaking as the original but i cannot see it dropping below a 90.

One one hand i can see it doing a lot better than ZD. But so many people (like me) will wait till they can get a PS5 and there aren't much PS5s out there. Like just 20 million.

But im gonna predict 3 million week 1

It wasn't record breaking for Sony, but certainly started the trend of huge releases that weren't ND games.  The only other games that did that before were

Uncharted 2.7 million first week
The last of us 3.4 shipped first week. (On PS3).
HZD actually broke the record for fastest selling new Sony IP on PS4. Thought it didn't have much competition. But compared to infamous (1M in 12 days) and bloodborne (1 million in 9 days). Killzone (2.1 million shipped in 3 months). It was a huge jump.

I am absolutely stunned how lush the foliage and detailed they've made it.

They do still really love their fog/cloudy distances to hide and minimize what they have to have rendering in the distance which is disappointing.  Sometimes it's a bit too much fog, imo.

was inevitable.  

Nintendo fanboys and MSony fanboys are highly isolated from each other.  Zelda being on a different system means horizon could maintain the attention of rest of the market. 

eldin ring overlaps biggly with horizon. 

anyways, my friends list is actually pretty split between the two but also it's the only two games anyone is playing.   

eldin ring obviously winning the media though.

I hope they do a gdc talk about it.

People naturally walk around, interact with the environment, and bring multiple people into the conversation. The very first time I had a dialogue option in the game I didn't notice for a sec because it didn't ever need to switch to the interview style camera angle.

Witcher 3 was the gold standard when it released and this blows it out of the water. Don't remember how well RDR2 handled it.

Hopefully the rest of the game keeps this quality up.

Post by: Legend on Mar 19, 2022, 05:19 AM
I'm loving this game. In some ways it's worse than the first and other ways it's better, but I really really loved the first so  ::)

The story is potentially the biggest downgrade. The first just had so much weight to everything with the machine apocalypse. Meanwhile the individual characters are pretty great in Forbidden West, but the bigger plot is laughably bad. I'm hoping there will be a twist/revelation that makes it make sense, but it still won't be as good as the first.

Spoilers for the first game
Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>In the first you keep asking &quot;but how did humans beat the machines?&quot; and eventually you get the incredible reveal that they didn&#39;t beat the machines and life had to be restarted. It starts off with a cool question and makes it even cooler.<br><br>In Forbidden West, it has a dumb question that feels stupid just to ask.<br><br>


The new climbing system is also better and worse. You can climb over everything that is climbable, kinda like botw, except you have to use your scanner to know what is climbable. The old method of having clearly marked ledges and handholds almost blended into the world better than the AR lines. Does allow you a lot more freedom though which is great. The big problem is that it's glitchy. Sometimes it will just not let you jump or climb up a ledge. It'll also just not grab onto edges sometimes, even when the jump is part of a linear section. I had tons of issues at a specific ruin.


I don't know how much I have left but I think I'm in the mid game. I now have access to the entire map I believe. Was frustrating having invisible walls blocking me until I did a main quest.

Edt: at 25% and 25 hours in the stats screen.

I assumed since the game was announced the story would be worse.  

the story in the original was just sooo good.  how could they possibly top that while keeping the game in the same lore?!?

GoW 2 will also probably be a downgrade as well.  not that spreading the ashes of his wife was a particularly good motivation.   ...but the whole trying to escape his past while raising his future thing was Soo good.  I can see where they are going but it won't be as good as "boy!"
Title: Re: Horizon Forbidden West |OT| it's out
Post by: BananaKing on Mar 19, 2022, 09:08 PM
I feel they set a really strong base to continue the story with God of war though. The fight between the gods, being sucked into it, artues wanting to make some of the same mistakes kratos did. There is so much there for a great story. My concern is that Cory isn't on it. What made GoW 2018 SO good was how the story just blended every aspect of the game together.
Title: Re: Horizon Forbidden West |OT| it's out
Post by: kitler53 on Mar 19, 2022, 09:34 PM
I'll agree GoW ended with more to work with than horizon. 

horizon ended on sylens being a sucker.  not exactly sure what FW is doing but sylens doesn't seem like an interesting main antagonist. 

GoW really has the opportunity to "go bigger" now that kratos is on the radar of the gods.  but the most interesting aspect of GoW was kratos relationship to atreus.  I don't think I will like it as much now that they are opening fighting each other. 
Title: Re: Horizon Forbidden West |OT| it's out
Post by: Legend on Mar 20, 2022, 05:46 AM
I think Horizon was designed from early on with this sequel in mind. Unless I missed a retcon, the stories are really interconnected.

Just got the answer to my story question though and it was both predictable and not that good. Maybe this is just early though. Game says I'm at 30%.

Post by: nnodley on Mar 20, 2022, 04:28 PM
I'm pretty sure they didn't expect what you just got answered to be a big twists. It was definitely pretty predictable. The final answer at the end of the game is a bit more twisty but part of it was predictable for me
Title: Re: Horizon Forbidden West |OT| it's out
Post by: Legend on Mar 30, 2022, 08:55 PM
Finished.

Way worse than Zero Dawn in some ways, a bit better than ZD in others. I'd compare it to God of War Ascension following GOW 3.

In general my biggest disappointment was the lack of drive. In Zero Dawn there were so many things pulling me forward and I'd often ignore other content because I was hooked. This happened with the story, but also with side characters, map locations, etc. Meanwhile in Forbidden West I almost always was doing stuff because the quest log or map icon told me to do stuff. Forbidden West is also significantly larger and content felt artificially stretched out. I put in ~70 hours with a lot of that feeling like a grind, and yet that's still only 60% completion according to the game.

The story and writing were probably the worst offender though. Sometimes they shined, such as many references to Alloy being an unstoppable force just like during gameplay, but most of the time they just felt off. The game spent a lot of time about the moral complexities of life, yet it really really didn't want you to think. People just bluntly state things/emotions as if they were narrating to the audience. It never felt natural. Plus on the game side, there are even fewer dialogue choices stretched out over a much larger game. It felt like I was there to absorb, not be an active listener/player. In an extreme example with a minor story spoiler, there is even a part where Alloy keeps secrets from the player.

The background logs/ancient world building is mostly uninteresting, since it focuses on events way before the end of the world. It's a prequel and it just doesn't work. We already know how it ends so spending so much time focusing on the problems of man again but on a smaller scale is boring. Only one set of audio logs were actually good imo.

Pacing was horrible at times.
Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>Regalla has an epic mission when she crashes the ceremony. Meanwhile when you actually defeat her, it&#39;s over in a blip with just a quick cutscene and quick fight.<br>


Spoiler heavy thoughts on the story.
Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>I was very glad they had the twist about Nemesis coming for the Zeniths. The plot of the Zeniths wanting to remake Earth in their image was just too stupid. The fact the game just had Alloy and Gaia come up with this random guess for their intentions was ridiculous. Would have been much better if they just went with the Nemesis concept from the beginning and withheld details about it.<br><br>Ted Faro being alive still but not even being seen was also really stupid.<br><br>Felt like the game maybe had a lot of cut content. A fight against Faro, a longer fight against Regalla, color changes counting as unique outfits, etc.<br><br><br>The home base was great.<br>


I really loved the world though. It was a downgrade from the first but still great. I loved one of the new weapons.

Eh I'd agree with zero dawn but I'd say forbidden west is 8.5 to 9
I loved a lot about it but it lacked so much compared to the first imo.

It's better in many ways too, such as conversation animations, but those don't affect my personal score that much.

What did you think about...
Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>Ted Faro mission?<br>Regalla final fight?<br>Nemesis just being a repeat of the original apocalypse?<br>



edt:

the graphics look so dated now, really a testament to how good Forbidden West looks.

Forbidden West looks insane.

It's crazy for me because back when it was originally shown off, I think even digital foundry was disappointed.

And then it really seemed like a proper PS5 the next time it was shown.

I used photo mode a lot to zoom in and see how they did things. So many details are incredible. All cutscenes are real time because you can change your outfit, and some of them just have a ridiculous amount of stuff going on.

Far from perfect though. The game has drastically bad transitions at times when going from outside to inside. I think it calculates ambient light based off camera position so if the camera is in the sun then the inside of a building/cave is glowing. The second it gets out of the sun, the inside quickly switches to a proper dark black.

Also I had issues with stuff taking a while to load. Run up to the campfire and it's just a floating fire, sit mid air cause the stool hasn't loaded, whole chunk of a building is missing allowing you to see through the ground, etc. It's a strange glitch cause most things load in way before you notice.

Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>The Ted Faro mission had such massive potential and was a real let down at the end. &nbsp;I was so ready for something huge and then nope killed off screen.<br>I quite like the Regalla fight, but it as well had so much more potential. &nbsp;That was the last part i was really caring about in the story with the zeniths.<br>Nemesis was a pretty good twist, but yeah i don&#39;t like that its just the same old apocalypse they faced before. &nbsp;I personally was hoping it was going to be some sort of alien race, so i was most disappointed by that.<br>

Guerilla added an option to disable pickup animations.

Heads Up: You can now Disable Pickup Animations in the Settings : horizon (https://www.reddit.com/r/horizon/comments/tssz58/heads_up_you_can_now_disable_pickup_animations_in/)

Which is kind of fascinating to me.

It's kinda slow because your character stops while the action is being performed. It would be nicer if it was Forged Odyssey or TLOU style where the animation targets the pickup but your legs keep working.

Also I couldn't find any limits in the inventory. I have over 200 rocks in my pocket lol.

Giving the game more time to settle, I think I'd consider it more like a 7.5. The plot and writing is just so simplistic most of the time, feeling like a young kid's show. It almost retroactively makes Zero Dawn worse.

I fully understand other people loving it and giving it nothing but praise, but for me personally I'm hoping the next game is a rejection of this approach.

I don't mind the difficulty, it's just my defense is so weak and I can't upgrade my gear any further than I am.  Like, I was doing a random quest and it was set for like level 17 I think.  The end part of the mission has two level 20 stalkers.  WTF?  I keep getting one shot by them... I'm level 25.  I'm not asking to barely take damage, I'm asking to not die by one hit.
There was another mission slated for level 10.  The end fight was against a Ravager.  Like, the hell?

Be sure to look at your outfit and change it during a fight if needed.

In general outfits are pretty important to minimize damage taken.

This is true, but the outfits in the game are all relatively the same.  If I was getting killed by elemental attacks, I'd get it, I'm getting one-shot by simple melee.  Unless I'm missing something, there's no melee styled outfit up to where I am

Not sure why I watched this, but dang. Animations aren't perfect, but dang they're impressive. I'm assuming this is a fairly random cutscene, and yet it blows anything I've seen in the first game out of the water.

Still need to play the game, will probably be in a few weeks.

Hands down the best animations I've seen in an open world game. Almost every single conversation, even those with random vendors, has relatively impressive animations.

Mostly just that Ragnarok does a fair few things worse than Forbidden West and I didn't expect that. Pre release GOW felt like the "true" next gen game yet Horizon 2 often looks better and is more impressive. Even story and gameplay wise I think Forbidden West is better a lot of the time.

I liked Forbidden West a lot when I played it but I didn't fully appreciate how significant its upgrades were, until playing ragnarok. Of course it couldn't replicate the novelty of the first but I think it'll be a long time before a Sony sequel has that big of a glow up.

Like not having a percentage based medicine plant pocket, and instead just having a handful of berries. <br><br>Lots more dynamic items like ladders that have to be knocked down and a pulley thing. <br><br>I&#39;m not really liking it to be honest. Have to change the way I play from the previous game... The controls kind of punish my dumb habit of pressing X a lot during climbing. In the previous game it generally just made Aloy move. Instead jumped off a spot like 3 times already.<br><br><br>Writing has a few awkward spots. <br><br>This isn&#39;t the exact line, but there was something like:<br>&quot;Elizabeth Sobek, remember me your genetic clone.&quot;<br><br>There were like two or three &nbsp;other spots like that. <br><br>Just awkward writing that is meant to inform the player/remind the player.

I had the same thoughts.  I think God of War was really trapped in the PS4.  I'm going to say some hearsay, but, it's tech feels very limited.  Kratos looks fantastic, but the rest looks really flat.  It doesn't help that the combat is still on a "It works" level.  They patched it up from the first game, so it's not frustrating , but outside of 1 in 1 battles(Where the combat is fantastic), the combat is just there.  They were spawning enemies behind you often, because of how restrictive they were with difficulty.  So it overall felt like the devs were restricted and put all the focus into the story.  Which I'm not sure was the right way to go.  In a sense they should have chopped the story up and focus more on gameplay mechanics.  Which is different to Forbidden West.
Forbidden West just felt right as a sequel.  It still looks fantastic; and I played the game on a base PS4.  They spent a lot of time on generating the side quests.  They balanced the game to revamp the combat.  Not in a way I agree with, but I can't say they didn't sit down and think about it.  They also told just enough story.
I'm sure if I played Forbidden West straight without trying to craft armour and stuff, since I was getting my dog handed to me, I probably would have finished it faster than God of War, but I was more satisfied with Forbidden West.  On the flip side, I finished God of War and I didn't finish Forbidden West, so Santa Monica did something right.

Combat isn't bad or anything, it's just there.  It shines with one-on-one combat though; boss fights are something else.
With Forbidden West, I'm near west coast.  I need to meet up the girl who came from over seas to do the infiltration mission.  I just got burned out with the enemy placements.  Which was the part I didn't agree with.  There's no armour combinations like last game so you can't prep yourself for the areas in the same way and you can't prep yourself for mobs either since they balanced the mobs in a way where certain enemies are strong against the things that other enemies are weak against.  So after farming, a lot; for so little reward(The armours are so useless); I got burned out.

The worst part of Horizon is how slow it takes to get to the open world and actually Forbidden West. It's one of Guerrilla's weaknesses they need to address compared to their Sony peers who are much better at doing openings. It's so important to because potentially hundreds of thousands of players will not bother with the rest of it. Once you get into the forbidden west the game gets so freaking good. The open world is honestly one of the best but it takes at least 4 hours. The other weak area is the campaign/story isn't as good as the first and some missions are just lacking the expected battle and spectacle. Guerrilla are a tremendously talented team who just need to learn to refine some elements and improve some key areas like melee combat and traversal. Maybe Horizon 3 will truly nail everything as the franchise has so much potential.

It's not really a small area though unless you're referring to the daunt but I don't think enough people even made it there. It took two hours to get to the daunt and most games are much quicker getting you into the world like Ghost of Tsushima. I actually think the DLC will be really good because Guerrilla don't have to do that again and can literally just set you free in LA.

It's funny that both the first and second games have a very similar structure like that. Smallish tutorial zone, medium mid game zone, and big end game zone. It works well enough imo but it made me dislike returning to old zones.

at a glance that looks great but as i watch it more,.. the clouds are disappearing as you approach them.  it's quite visible on the right side.   so i take it you can't actually fly into the clouds?   not bad for a first attempt but certainly room to improve.

That'd be a silly limitation to have so I wouldn't assume it's the cause, but either way I agree that the disappearing clouds don't look good.

Quite a few changes the sequel made.

 Medicinal berries are now discrete objects. This is nice because now you frequently have the ability to find them in chests. It felt a bit awkward in the first game that there is a button dedicated to healing with the berries, but they also made it semi-difficult to stock up. Towards the end you need something like 16 to fill up. And that's frequently a lot depending on what you are doing.


I'm not sure if it's actually true but it feels like they made humans more difficult and I'm not really a fan of that. At the very least the face masks make them more difficult. It felt like a nice change of pace when you had lots of enemies that were incredibly easy to take down individually. But that feels a little less true here.

Items are now hidden during play without focus use is a neat touch.

Hol up why did they do a close up of the farmer dropping the kelp ball or whatever underwater? It drops like a rock; absolutely no water resistance or bouncy.

Before that scene came up I was going to comment on how I love Horizon's settlements and cities.

That's a core feature of the new game and it's internally consistent with the rest of zelda's world.

Meanwhile the funny thing here is that they prominently featured this unimportant flaw in the Horizon trailer. I wouldn't expect the devs to go back and change it but I really wouldn't expect marketing to zoom in on it hahaha.

Overall thoughts on the game.  I prefer God of War  :-*


But anyway:

Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>Lots of good improvements, a couple of step backs.&nbsp; <br><br>Visually, I think it has to be the most incredible game I&#39;ve seen by a bit of a margin. Just ridiculously detailed world. Some things kind of stand out though in a bad way.&nbsp; Some of the effects with like acid look kind of bad in the world.&nbsp; It&#39;s also a little comical seeing it show up in cutscenes.&nbsp; <br>Animation is a huge step upwards.&nbsp; <br><br>Gameplay: lots of good improvements.&nbsp; <br>It felt kind of strange to me in the first game where you have a button dedicated to healing with plants, and yet you have to take a lot of effort to keep that stocked. There are some large sections of the game where you don&#39;t get plants very often. You pretty much have to step away from the main story in order to restock.&nbsp; The second game does a better job of making that the primary way to heal in the way that mechanically it is set up as.<br><br>I think I have slightly mixed feelings on the focus for getting hints. It&#39;s kind of cool that you can basically have an immersive mode without the game pointing out everything, and it makes sense in the game to have the focus gives you hints. But the visual design is probably too busy.&nbsp; <br><br>One thing that was great is having way more options on climbing. Even if the game wants you to take one specific path, there are usually dozens of ledges that you can take any one of them instead of just 1 ledge you have to find.&nbsp; <br><br>One step back for me, is that I don&#39;t love the combat. It surely makes sense for the machines to basically be tanks and whatnot.<br>But on the whole it&#39;s not the most fun experience for me. So many of the enemies just seem to be bullet sponges that are usually faster, bigger and stronger than you in a way that makes approaching them just less fun. <br>I think it would be more fun to have more variety. Have bigger enemies that are slower and easy to run away from. Have smaller enemies that are easy to take out in one good hit. But it felt like even for the human enemies this became less of a thing. They seem to be more commonly wearing helmets or some kind of masks that protected them. <br><br>This one perhaps silly thing is a major thing holding back both of the games for me.&nbsp; <br><br><br>Story: some things bugged me, some things were interesting.&nbsp; <br><br>Some of the early dialogue writing was pretty bad. There&#39;s just a lot of stuff where they were trying to catch you up, and it could have done more naturally. There&#39;s quite a bit of very awkward dialogue to remind the player about stuff from the previous game.&nbsp; <br><br>The Zeniths feel like they should have been a bigger plot point. By the end of it, they just feel like random bad guys and not one of the big enemies of the game. The leader of the group gets like 30 seconds of screen time I think. Overall not too bothered, but it could have been more meaningful.&nbsp; <br><br>I was very surprised how much sci-fi this leaned into.&nbsp; <br>The first game felt like sci-fi was more just to create the setting. Whereas here it&#39;s a pretty big part of the story that there are still people with advanced technology.&nbsp; <br><br>Overall I think I give it like a 8.5/10; maybe a 9.<br>

I still can't believe ragnarok did that much. Its insane. Will it reach 30 million?

Also horizon FW is 8.4 after one year. So its selling faster than HZD. There is also a TV series coming and a rumored remaster for the first game.

The first game might end up at 30 million. Its at roughly 24 million now.

In fact (from the numbers we have) horizon ZD outsold any ND release from last gen

Horizon ZD : 24 million ~
Uncharted 4: 16 million
TLoU 2 : 10 million
Uncharted lost legacy : unknown. But definitely not 10 million

Ragnoraks numbers are just an another level.

Like Pi pointed out we have officially numbers that its over 20 million as of over a year ago  

So we know its something over 20 million. And with this update we can safely assume its close to 24 million. Either way my point stands that GG is a top dog at Sony. They also been having a steady release schedule since killzone 2 released. They do take time to make their games now but its nothing absurd.

Killzone 2 - 2009
Killzone 3 -  2011
Killzone SF -2013
Horizon ZD - 2017
HZ frozen wilds - 2017
Horizon FW - 2022
Horizon BS - 2023

It felt like Forbidden West disappeared after release; so few were talking about it online.

I was really worried it had flopped but 8.4 million in the first year is great. Maybe Sony would have liked more since it's such a massive game but that's a huge amount of sales near full price.

...all lead me to skipping this.  I bought TLoU 2 and Ghost of Tusima at $45 and still haven't played either. so when horizon shipped I just couldn't pull the trigger.  hell, it's free on extra right now and I still haven't played it.  I did download ZD though so I could finally play the frozen wilds I bought like 20 years ago.....

On top of image quality upgrades, there are also performance upgrades on PC. 120fps - whether achieved via brute force or via DLSS 3 - is another palpable improvement over the console experience. The question is whether your PC has the horsepower to do so, which brings us onto the topic of Nixxes' recommended settings. In general, I think they are fine - with one caveat. To achieve the targets set out in the spec sheet, dynamic resolution scaling is required for consistency.

Those are my initial thoughts on Horizon Forbidden West in its pre-launch state. It's got a lot going for it and does look like a good port with plenty of customisation potential and a decent array of PC extras. Most importantly, it runs smoothly, without some of the consistency issues I saw in the launch versions of Marvel's Spider-Man or Ratchet and Clank - and general performance should satisfy users, especially if the default dynamic resolution scaling option is enabled.

yup. Usually all of playstation first party I grab if they have one.  I've got one from God of War, GOW Ragnarok, Horizon 1 and 2, Uncharted 4, TLOU part 2, Spiderman 2, and God of War 3 I think.  I have multiple other collectible stuff too like Altair with the apple of eden, a light up omni tool from ME, Mako statue from ME, N7 helmet from ME.

only really recently that I started grabbing them.  Usually if they don't feel worth the price i don't buy.  But most of these are super high quality.
