I did and no. Wait for an extreme sale if you really, REALLY love everything farcry. It was f'ing terrible in my book.

Graphics were good but the storyline bored me to tears and I didn't care for the gameplay much. It's biggest drawback was that you couldn't walk more than a minute in any direction without having to kill someone or something.

The Witcher was ****ing excellent. I love the Far Cry series as well. It had its flaws but was fun, particularly this latest one. I enjoyed it.

Horizon - Zero Dawn
 

Once again this is a game ive looked forward to for well over two years now.
Once again... I'm a little disappointed.

Let's start with graphics.
They're wonderful. I've been very impressed with the range of view as well. The game is beautiful I have got to admit.

Music: It nearly perfect as well. Very impressive.

Voice/lip synch: This is average at best. I've noticed very general lip synching here so they can dub in other languanges.

Gameplay:

YAWN! While at first it's very impressive and captivating, you slowly realize that this is just another far cry game only more difficult and tedious.
I'm going to play it through because...

Storyline:
Very good. It has me captivated and I'm going to play it until it's beat.

Overall?
7 out of 10
It is above average at 100+ hours of gameplay but it isn't really anything new like I'd hoped.

I really like a lot of what Horizon does but my God is it cluttered at every turn...it's just too much clutter.

That's one thing I really appreciate about BotW....it's very minimalistic and just says here you go, have fun and explore.

Yep. I forgot to add that EVERY side quest is a "step and fetch it" type of thing.

"Go here, do this, report back."
Come the hell on!

At least with Witcher 3 they had very different side quests.
The cauldrons are ok but all the same.

It's the story... that's the only thing keeping me from moving on to Nioh.

Being in nursing school has its downfalls. Man I wish I could get Horizon Zero Dawn. Thanks for the review Gonzo. That's why I don't get excited for very many games. Mostly Naughty Dog and Rockstar titles. Although witcher 3 lived up to my expectations and then some. Top 5 title in my opinion.

TLoU
RE4
Witcher 3
Uncharted Series
RE1 Remake

1st off... you're welcome man.
2nd
HZD isn't a bad game, it just is a bit more of the same. Like I said, if you like farcry, you'll love this.

I do have to admit that the attention to detail on this game is impressive and I'm loving the storyline.
I just think it could've been more than what it was. It has a lot of the Witcher's charm and it is leaning a bit on some of that but it's not nearly what I expected.

Seems like most games leave something to be desired.

Yeah, it's tough for them to live up to the hype. Then again, you find gems like Rocket League, Witcher etc.

They put in a lot of effort in HZD. It's just very cluttered and busy. They packed in too much even though the map is huge. There's a quest or collection item every ten feet.
Too many enemies too. You can't go anywhere for long without running into a pack of assholes or robots.

I have been waiting years for this game, and it'll be here March 28th!

I always come back to Destiny and how they just ****ed that concept up and the game in its entirety.

Interesting. Might have to check that out. Something about the cat's animations cracks me up.

whats the deal with this new tom clancy game

it sucks balls

Trying to find some coop type games for the wife and I. She grew up on Nintendo games. Already bought her breath of the wild (which isn't coop) but know she wants some we can play together. Have Xbox, PS4, and Wii U so pretty open.

Any ideas?
