Horizon Zero Dawn

Recommended Posts

Anybody picking it up at launch like me? Between this and Zelda next week, I'll pretty set on open world games for a while! Reviews have been coming in, and the game it getting some exceptional critic scores. 88 on metacritic, with some publications calling it the new standard for the open world genre. 

 

 

Here's a pod talking about the mechanics of the game, story (no real spoilers), combat, interactions with the robots etc. Really psyched to play on the 28th.

The combat is so fuging addictive. All I want to do is seek out more poo to fight. 


The fight at the end of The Proving...I hadn't utilized the heavy melee blows until that point. Was pleasantly surprised at how well the mechanics worked with it and how the game sort of adapted to how you came at the enemy. I don't know if maybe I was overthinking it or maybe I'm just not remembering it correctly, but the animations of attacks timed with positioning of the enemies seemed to flow well and you didn't have animations that frame-jumped or anything. Could've stayed in that sequence for an hour and been content.

I'm so jealous right now.  Reading all of your comments, checking the Horizon sub on Reddit, and having to listen to my co-worker every day is killing me!  Luckily, my buddy said he'd let me borrow his  PS4 when he's done playing it (he's one of those guys who has every system, so he probably wouldn't miss it for a while).  I'll be six months behind, but it will be worth it.

I'm considering buying a PS4 slim for myself- between this, The Last of Us (never played it), Spiderman, God of War- it might be worth it if I can find a deal for one around 200

I've never owned a playstation in my life, and I currently own an Xbone so it would be a totally unnecessary purchase.

The Last of Us is amazing. It's the best single player game I've ever played. It really is a must play. It sounds like you'd get a lot of use out of it since you listed 3 games you're interested in. That's not even  including the remastered games that our PS Must plays like God of War 3, The Uncharted Collection, Uncharted 4, etc.

    • i think the difference is that we win when we minimize Bryce as part of the offense ala Trent dilfer. look at the games we win and he us always under 200 yards passing. 
    • Which is also why we talk about there being a lower ceiling for Bryce I think Bryce sees the game decently well already given the mess this offence has been for the better part of his career. His big WTF plays are typically him just dropping the damn ball Which leaves me wondering sometimes what does peak Bryce look like. Guys like Sam you’d watch in NY/Carolina and he’d have so many boneheaded plays that you were left thinking if he could just clean these up you’d have a solid QB. And now we’re finally seeing Sam in a good offence and he’s able to play with timing and within structure and those boneheaded plays are cut down to 2-3 times a game Bryce doesn’t have a ton of boneheaded plays (minus flat out dropping the ball) so I dunno. I think Bryce can be a solid QB. Put Bryce in Seattle or Tampa and they’re still winning a lot of games  Coaching and overall team matters so much. The only dude that I think could probably do the most with the least in this league would be Lamar 
    • They both struggle with that but Lawrence is a significantly better athlete and an INSANELY more physically gifted passer. He has very limited reasons to be struggling the way he has. I will say, when he came into the league I specifically remember an interview that he basically intimated that he would be okay if his life didn't involve football and I have always questioned if he was passionate enough to be elite from that moment onward.
