What does /m/ think of Horizon: Zero Dawn?

A well put together game

reee WIMMENZX IN MIUH GAMES REEEE

>>15225855
The robots are cool, but the standard open world collect-a-thon and seemingly below average story and performance dosn't make it look like it will be worth the price and time.

>>15225939
>Shit, people can see how shit this game is! I'll say they just hate women on a mecha board filled with mecha anime about awesome women
>That'll prove me right
>I'll add a REEEEEEE too.

It looks kinda neat, but it's probably not something I'd get at launch. Maybe a couple years down the road when it's dirt cheap, provided it was decent enough.

The dinobots are cool, but watching that stream, this game feels like an amalgamation of the worst thing of western AAA dev culture. The safest, most inoffensive, market tested, board manufactured thing ever.

Honestly, I never caught the hype for this. I kinda zoned out during the reveal trailer, and after the footage flathead brachiosaur ubisoft tower thing, it's clear that this is gonna be one of those games.

>>15226086
>ubisoft tower thing
It took me a moment to realize you are talking about Assassin's Creed.

Looks like every generic open-world game i've ever played
See

That shit's in ALL Ubisoft open world games anon, in one way or another.

>>15225855
Cool idea ruined by western developers

I.E. another case of westerners not being able to into /m/. I watched gameplay of the giant robot fights and they made them severely easy so that casuals can play it.

I'll be sticking with Titanfall if I need my /m/ game fix

>>15226148
I see. The only Ubi game I played recently was Anno 2070, so AC is my only reference.

>>15226219
Watch the stream too and the ai is obviously dumbed down. A guard could'nt even see aloy hiding in a grass in front of him and his companion just a few steps away doesnt even react.

>>15229500
Well if you actually read the thread, you'll find that the robot dinosaurs aren't even in the spotlight in this game. It rather focuses on high school angst and drama and combines that with questionable animation

You're not really off point, but the phrasing doesn't add up. You mentioned almost every recent open world brawler. You can't mention all of them as generic examples when one half spurred the other.

No, fighting dinosaurs is the main point, but the AI is awful and it's incredibly easy. You can literally crouch walk up to a a dinosaur and hack it.

>>15229726

MASSIVE SPOLIERS

Mankind is dead. The robots were designed to kill the bad things, and the main character is a robot with the consciousness of an old scientist. When she hears the records of the "mother" she's looking for, it's actually her remembering herself

You briefly join them for two missions in Mercenary. Not quite the same as an actual Helghast campaign, but it's the closest we're likely to get and they are easily the best missions.

The closest you can get in the other games is multiplayer.

Why do I get the feeling this is one of those games where Game Master M could beat it with his eyes closed?

Getting pretty great reviews.

I'm very excited. Mostly because I like the look of the mecha dinos and it looks to be taking cues from monster hunter (of which I used a bow for 200 hours).

>>15230932
Motion capture was a mistake

>>15230961
I can't say I can ever trust pre-release reviews or major website reviews. I've watched 15 years of mediocre games get great scores. Granted I like the sand-box brawlers for a play or two, most of them have this... lobotomized quality when it comes to the story or world activity.

Maybe wait a few weeks after the game's out. Atm, /v/'s overrun with so much shitposting about how /v/'s wrong/right about the game etc.

>>15231367
/v/'s always overrun with shitposting
It's one of the worst boards on this site

>>15231395

Yes but by then, the shitposters would have moved on to the next big thing. Leaving hose who wish to discuss the game's own merits, or lack thereof.

>>15229060
jesus christ, did they bring in bioware to do the animation?

>>15231407
Naw. It really doesn't end until something fades out of mind. /vg/ is the better bet for a useful talk.

Horizon looks so even the biggest shitposters stopped using it as bait to shit on Zelda

That tells you how serious it is.

The problem with /v/ is that it's overrun with Sony shills due the major influx of posters from reddit and neogaf. And sony fanboys have hit this perfect sweetspot of superiority and inferiority complex where if they don't get anything nice, no one should get it.


I know nothing of Horizon: Zero Dawn more than it looks like Sony contracted some dev team that went 'Let's take everything Ubisoft does for their open world games, and make a bastard child of it.'. Is the big plot twist going to be that all the humans are also robots? I mean it would explain why the animation is all awful.

>>15231614

Really? They were shitposting about it nonstop yesterday to shit on Zelda. When did that change?

I don't have a PS4 so I don't care.

I've always thought Killzone had a far better art direction than Halo, even if the Helghast were just Kerberos Corps in space.

>>15231735
Thanks

>>15231702
It's even more funny considering how the devs wanted Aloy to be a "huge Playstation Icon" and how they admitted that they fucked up with Killzone and how the Helghast were more iconic and visually interesting than the protagonists

This is why GG was fucking stupid there was already nearly a decade's worth of proof of corruption beforehand.

>>15231812
no way McGriddles are great

>>15231812

Admittedly, GG was over indie shit. Kane & Lynch was AAA shit. Indie gaming was supposed to be free from the shackles that AAA gaming was bound to. When in reality, it's just as bad, but with less corporate PR.

It looks pretty bad even by generic open world third person shooter standards. Like Watch Dogs looks better than it.

I just want some variety in the dinos.

Do we knows anything besides:

Thunderjaw (T Rex)
Those spaceship head brontosaurus ones
Robo deer
robo yak thing (horned cow?)
robo velociraptors
"demon" scorpion robot that attacks the village

and I guess the generic "bandit" enemy which is now just skinned as "tribe in current area"

i don't get all the hype. it's building a big bubble and it's gonna pop similar to NMS. it's too predictable

nothing of substance, while HZD stuff comes mostly from actual gameplay streams, someone got it early and beat whole game. Most of video was DMCA'd tho. But while he streamed, there was like ten 500 bump limit threads about it.
