2017's GOTY coming to PC!!!!!
- Thread starter CritialGaming
- Start date
I really enjoyed HZD, although I had to split up my playtime - I felt all the tasks getting a bit repetitive about 3/4 of the way through. I finished it a few months later and I enjoyed the ending more for it as I wasn't burnt out at that point. I even did the DLC.
If you've already played this on PS4, I don't understand why you would be excited about it being on PC.

Are these games markedly different gameplay-wise other the brand awareness with Zelda (other than the fact link can climb up everything)? I haven't played BOTW, only watched someone else on a Switch, but, just superficially without playing it, it seems HZD is more interesting because it has a fully fleshed out and compelling story. I was happy to complete HZD based on the mystery of solving what the world was alone. It doesn't seem like I'd get that with BOTW.Yoshi178 said:

I found Horizon just another typical first party crowd pleaser like Uncharted, Last of Us or Spiderman. Not much substance beyond the lavish production values just lots of scripted setpieces and gameplay I never really found engaging.
Whoa whoa whoa...Let?s play nice guys! Both of these games are amazing in their own right. Hunting machines in Horizon is some of the best open world gameplay we have been graced with to date. Here?s a no clip doc [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h9tLcD1r-6w] about the making of, spoiler free. The most impressive thing to me about it though was the work that went into creating those machines [https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/296493/Making_Horizon_Zero_Dawns_Machines_feel_like_living_creatures.php], which blow away anything else out there from a technical perspective in terms of enemy design.
As for Bloodborne, well that game speaks for itself as my avatar will ascertain. It helps to like the Souls style of gameplay but its design is different enough to stand on its own as well. IGN did a making of [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gExoq4CGDHo] before release.
One of my favorite things about the game though would have to be its soundtrack. [https://www.gdconf.com/news/hear_how_bloodbornes_music_was]
It's the one Soulsbourne games that is very well regarded and is PS4 only right now.Satinavian said:
I mean, there's also Demons Souls but a lot fewer people have played that one, both due to being a PS3 exclusive(and the PS3 has been dead for a while now) and it didn't take off quite like Dark Souls and sequels did. It's hard to tell if having a PC port would have changed that but now I suspect it would be viewed as "Like Dark Souls but even harder to get into". It also doesn't have depth of Lore the other Souls games have, though people have valiantly tried to link it to the rest of the series(Bloodborne came the closest, at one point having actual references to it).

BotW was more focused on melee combat to HZD being more or less pure range.
My overall assessement of BotW was that they obviously wanted to shake up the formula... but I'm not sure they had any concrete idea how to do so. You've the insane collectathons that would make Ubisoft blush, the most engaging part is combat but thats busted up by the weird durability stuff. Then a nutty crafting system from a survival game tossed on, and the permanent upgrades you get resemble MMO structure (as does most of the world, right down to recoloring enemies rather then having a full roster). Along with the intermittently dotted puzzles which feel like they were salvaged out of some discarded puzzle game (granted, this was the main place in which it seemed somewhat true to Zelda, puzzles are hardly abnormal, just the odd physics powers gave off that impression).
HZD on its hand, seemed to be aspiring to open world single player Monster Hunter. I wouldn't say they entirely nailed the strengths of that either. And the open world definitely lacked a certain element of random encounters or interactions between machines (which did exist in the lore and few cutscenes, but generally not dynamically in the world). I'd give it the story strength of BotW, but combat in HZD could get a tad clinical once you learned how to beat a robot, it was a pretty rinse-repeat process for all similar robots. And keeping at range usually kept you out of any viscerally threatening situation.
I imagine some would. Some, like me, don?t care for the Souls genre but would like to play Horizon with a control scheme that doesn?t suck.stroopwafel said:
My 2017 game of the year was NieR: Automata.
Anyway it's really cool that it's coming to PC. It's a good game, unfortunately I got distracted by other things not too long after I got it.
I really hope this leads to games like Bloodborne making the jump... as well as the Gravity Rush games.

And of course, because Gamers, some people are salty about this.

A former exclusive getting a port is enough for some people to rage over because this is a special club only the best are allowed to enter and we can't let the plebs in or something, despite the fact the game is single player so it's not like there's even the shitty excuse of the MP being ruined or something.
If only I could look at everything that's going on in the world right now and decide "I'm gonna be mad about a PS4 game getting a PC port". It must be nice.

At the end of the day, it's just a ***** being *****. I feel nothing for the guy. What kind of dumb ass trashes their own office over a game not being exclusive anymore? What a pile of wangst! Who the hell is going to pay for the mess you made? Oh right, no one except the guy made it. The only person miserables is you, ya fuck nut. Probably does not have many friends. Not with that attitude.Dalisclock said:
