nope.  waiting for a few price drops on this one.  still haven't played frozen wilds so that is also a prequisite for me.

Reminder that you can buy the ps4 version for less money and still get the ps5 version.

Xev is playing at least.

I would be playing but I'm in the middle of some other games.

Same. Need to play other stuff first. Don't play games that much tbh

I'm playing. So good. It's absolutely gorgeous. I'm giving all my money to any game that I want to succeed.

Astro bot is a big one for me with that.  I have loved the two games that have come out. And that's a franchise that i think probably needs and definitely deserves support.

Xev originally said that the story felt like a bit of a step down, but everything else is better.

Then he came back and said he should not have worried about the story.

He's loving it

Edit: he's put 14.5 hours in so far.

^ glad to hear.  I've been in media block out so I don't know what I've ignored,..   but privately I've had worries if they could make a sequel as interesting as the first now that the big mystery is gone. 

[nnodley]

I can see why he would have said that so far. The first opening part I was loving then it kinda gets ok but now I'm starting to have it open up all the way for me. I've put in 8ish hours so far

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.

But can you cut the foliage with your sword?

I haven't seen any tv or youtube ads for this game. Both Tlou2 and ghost were pushed heavily.

Is it just me? Could hurt first week numbers.

Amazon has advertising for Horizon:
