I've played through Horizon and BotW thoroughly from top

Because you can't have autistic internet arguments to determine which is best if they aren't comparable.

Is horizon worth a playthrough if I dont want to do any sidequest shit

Because of the Sony shitposters who pushed Horizon as some sort of Zelda killer only to get BTFO when BotW's Metacritic scores started to drop.

Because they're both exclusive open world games released on different platforms around the same time.

Not really. You probably have a dozen open world sandbox games exactly like it already in your library. Go play those, it's the exact same experience.

>Openworld game
>Doesn't want sidequests

You'd get more gameplay out of PP my friend.

1. They came out at the same time.
2. Nintendo and Sony drones are autistic. See >>384248173
3. BotW fags and HZD fags that compare them aren't content with their games so they have to bring up flaws in other games.

If you like games like Far Cry 3/4 and Witcher 3 but also like good combat, sure. Some side quests are pretty nice, though. They aren't all fetch and usually have a bit of a unique story to them. At least outside the starting area. Don't grab it for more than $30 if you're not sure.

Do you not remember the numerous Sony threads going on and on about how this game would be "the final nail in the coffin for Zelda"?

Because any criticism against the game MUST be a nintendo fanboy, or a racist who doesn't like the game.
It's not like the game play has actual problems that can be criticized.

>Why do people compare these games like they're fucking identical?
Blame it on the HZDfags who were screaming that it was going to be a Zelda killer before the two games launched.

>>384247934
>before: HZD is gonna be so much better than BOTW! Get ready for the Zelda killer!
>after: er, uh, th-they're so different, right?

>>384248934
Yes. They are.

You HAVE played both, right?

>>384247934
because Horizon Zero Dawn was hyped to be the "Zelda Killer". Then it came out and was horrendously mediocre and Zelda was absolutely fantastic. The shit storm still rages to this day.

>>384249067
I dunno about you, but I would never call something that got an 89 on Metacritic "horrendously mediocre". That's something I'd reserve for a game scoring in the 60s or lower.

>>384247934
They got compared a lot because sony ponies shouted on every roof that HZD would kill Zelda.
Especially once HZD review started to drop but before Zelda, lots of sony niggers thread were Huur durr the switch adn zelda are DONE etc etc.

Then the Zelda review came in with little tidbits like after playing Zelda i find HZD simple/boring etc etc and then sudenly the sony autist argument instantly switched to sales.

Anything lower than a 9/10 is mediocre by gaming journalism standards.

>>384247934
Mostly for shitposting. Everybody knew HZD never stood a chance against Zelda. There's a couple of really autistic anti-nintendo fags who keeps spamming stupid shit so it's mostly that.

I really wish the game had focused more on refining the decent mecha-dino combat instead of a cutscene-heavy story

>>384248352
I forgot.
4. BotW fags don't know what a shill is.
