sounds like a great sequel for those who enjoyed the first one. that game never clicked for me so I'm happy to wait for the eventual PC release and maybe for a discount beyond that.

hopefully those who pick it up enjoy it

Why did my thread get locked? I made my thread before TC updated and changed his thread. I feel like crying :(

I was wondering the same thing.

I had nothing to do with it. Whoever lock it didn't even leave a note either🤷‍♂️

Maybe lock this one and unlock that other one?

@x_hedon: Sooo, where's the PC version of HZD vs BOTW?

I don't know man! I don't follow PC. I don't even have a laptop at home. I have a 2021 12.9 iPad Pro for all my computing needs.

I can care less about the score.

What I don't like is that these reviewers review these games without the day one patch.

the negative about the pop ins was fixed.

digital foundry said it.

fact is I think early reviews are bad.

but great reviews can't wait for friday.

They never even fixed the pop-in with the first one. As far as reviewing goes, blame Sony for giving them review copies without the patch.

About what I expected, on GS and Metacritic.

Not sure if I want to get this one yet. I could use a new PS5 game to play these days but I never finished the first one so I'm hesitant to drop full price on this one right out of the gate. Decisions, decisions.

@x_hedon: Kvally, you keep mentioning the pop in like it's a N64/PS1 game, I platinumed the first game and don't recall pop in because it was such a non issue. I'm sure the game had it, but they hide it very well.

Sporto,

It's just something I noticed having finally finished the game yesterday in prep for the new one. It was noticeable but didn't bother me and wasn't very distracting. It wasn't like a building just popped up in front of me. It was usually shadows, trees, or otherwise mountainous views in the background that would draw in. I was too focused on the machines and gathering resources anyway to give a flying hoot.

@blamix:

What, nervous over a 8 out of 10?🤣

Lems have just had three games scoring 9,9 and 9 here at GameSpot in the last few months with metacritic of 87,90 and 92 for the same games if metacritic is the back up for the HFW 8 out of 10.

Me thinks the GS eight has soured the milk

A Sony game flops on SW and I see Sony fannies being desperate trying to damage control the situation by bringing Nintendo into the discussion. SW classic act 😂😂😂

so is this a flop or not?? 8/10 on GS, and 90 on MC. Not sure.

89 on OpenCritic and 8 on GS = flop

Won't flop in sales like all of Xbox games 🙂

First one was too boring. I will wait until this is on sale with the dlc packaged in like I did with the last one.

Anybody liking this franchise but hates Ubisoft open world games is a hypocrite imo.

Eurogamer said this game is functionally identical to the first game, and the new features don't fix any of the first game's problems. Also the story is apparently terrible?

That's a hard pass from me. I didn't care about any of the characters or events on HZD, which is mostly why I gave up on it - fighting robot dinosaurs gets old when there's zero investment in the world or people.

@Planeforger: I don't see how it is functionally identical to the first game. It would be obviously similar but just the inclusion of the hand glider and being able to explore underwater already changes the navigation.

@HalcyonScarlet: Played it and it was good but not sure if it should have got a 10/10, even fans of the studio have said Dishonored is better. Like I said it's a fun game but people must have got caught up in the hype at the time either that or because it's a new IP did not have much expectation and it had more substance than they thought. Development took place before MS could even have a chance to have anything to do with it so not sure why that reference was made.

To be fair, when it comes to 10/10, I don't think everyone will agree.

I don't think I've agreed with one since OoT.

The game came out after MS was the owner of Zenimax. MS also own the ip. It's a technicality, but as they say, a win is a win. Deathloop is officially a MS game and ip.

If the score is high and is related to a Sony system, they count. If its the other systems, nobody cares. Why is it so hard to understand?

@hardwenzen: for someone who claims they know a lot about games, you then go and confirm the only thing you play is system wars. Even then not playing it very well.

There was snippets of good debate but that's all gone now. No credibility.

Bet when elden ring comes out u will still be playing on here when u are not at school.

I know much better than you and 100 others like you. This is an undeniable fact you can't argue against. Accept it like you accepted Infinite looking very ugly for a 2021 game.

Unlike the flopped game, I'm predicting a 10/10 here and a much bigger bang for the buck. ;o
