YOU SMELL THAT. IT MEANS THE LEAVES ARE CHANGING AND IT REVIEW SEASON
Kinda funny soyboys are kinda cringe, can't trust these bootlickers.
Smells delicious
@@TheAndyCortez it tastes pretty good too
Smells like 'empty wallet' season.
I see a lot of comments about my lack of input in the 2 hour discussion, I'll own that as I was being too polite in not trying to derail the convo and wanted everyone to get their thoughts in and ultimately 2 hours flew by and I didnt say enough of my own personal thoughts. I also get people focusing on our nit picks but a review should point out the good along with the bad and maybe the good got lost in the overall discussion. The game is fantastic overall and more than deserving of our 5/5 score
No problem Parris. The matrix review on kindafunny is a good example of the correct level of input and convo injection. Look foreword to the next review.
I thought the review was great. I came out of this being more hyped for game! and I wanted to hear any issues you had with the game. Great to see you on this review Parris.
I appreciate this comment and think you have great input to add. Thank you for everything you do! Games are cool!
Thought you did great, always glad to see you on content! Keep up the good work :)
We just wanted to hear your thoughts more mate.
Good to see Parris back in a review. Great job gang. Thoroughly enjoyed this. I'm hype!
Too bad that Parris barely spoke. Greg should have done a better job moderating - I get it is a conversation but there needs to be a structure here. Especially when it is a review.
@@thefallenangel01 i kinda agree. i love the content, spirit and energy always of these podcasts, and the only thing ive ever wanted to see more of was better facilitation of the discussion.
@@thefallenangel01 I felt the same way. There wasn’t an equal amount for others to speak.
@@thefallenangel01 100% Greg and Blessing can barely share space. Parris is respectful enough to wait. That's why Mike is the best - he holds space for everyone! Parris needs to be heard!
@@TheRevenantsMovie yea, felt bad for Parris, I mainly listened the whole time but towards the end I started to watch their feeds and noticed that he kept raising his hands and at one point, even Greg acknowledged it but took the opportunity to speak instead of letting Parris talk.
Think the new Review-O-Meter still needs to be calibrated. This is an extremely lukewarm conversation to be talking about a 5/5 game.
Great discussion but it seemed like Janet was struggling to get a word in. Any time there were multiple people talking Greg would throw it to Andy or Blessing. Just wondering if in the future you can make sure to give everyone a chance to speak.
Exactly! Blessing talks over everyone. I wanted to hear more from Janet and Parris.
Agreed, Andy and Blessing have a lot to say and can be a bit long-winded. These episodes would have a better flow if they yielded more often or maybe kept the panel to 4 people.
@@Terrell_Dre_ If Blessing talks over everyone, then its a bad character flaw and shows a lack of self awareness. Someone needs to call him out on it privately and get him to stop it. It is common, we all meet people like that throughout our lives. We notice it but most people on a subconscious level don't even know they are doing it.
A problem with these reviews is that some of them are not fully flushed out. Because they are rushing it to get the reviews done. Such as Andy mentioned missing side quests and being underpowered
Yeah, and i'm guessing those side quests develop the side characters more, which he also had an issue with not caring about them. Feels like a really big whole when reviewing a game.
Yeah that was a lil annoying tbh
Reviewing games is a sucky job imo you have to rush to complete the game to meet the review deadline and in doing you cant really enjoy the game fully.
It's kinda impressive how the KF music motif adapts to so many different themes
I am obsessed with them.
What is it with Kind Funny Games reviews, where they all give it a high score and then spend most of the time talking about the issues rather than developing all the elements they liked.
Because in the end, I think, "Wait did they like this or not?". These need to be more thought through, because the score and enthusiasm doesn't match the discussion.
It’s much easier and more natural to identify things you dislike vs things you like. By and large though this video is extremely positive from almost all of them.
@@jacklawrence3703 I disagree, most of this is them saying they liked it but not developing why, whilst the bad has much more of an in depth look. As a review you're supposed to relay all the reasons why you gave it a certain score, here I didn't think that happened in the correct amounts.
Personally, if they didn't give a score, I'd have guessed it be like a 7/10, not a 9.5.
@@alexikosmas Tim is excellent at doing that. For both positive and negative opinions. #lettimreview
90 minutes into this review and Paris has barely said a word :(
Yeah right
I really don’t understand why people don’t like the melee so much. I thought it was very basic, but fun in the first game, and here the animations look phenomenal.
Watching this as I approach the final mission of Zero Dawn. Hype is unreal and excited for the sequel.
Play the DLC frozen wilds, it's totally worth it 👍
@@dasilva2095 yup played through Frozen Wilds before beating the game. Got the platinum trophy just in time for Forbidden West. Happy launch day!
I thought zero dawn was good, FW is amazing. I sunk 70 hours maxing out my character and getting legendary weapons and armor before I got to any of the real main and side quests! I was hooked just like death stranding!
Carrie Ann-Moss being a small element in games has been happening for over a decade. She's in Mass Effect 2 for about 10 minutes.
Carrie-Ann-Moss is in Mass Effect 2? I did not know that!
@@maximnewman2483 Yeah, she plays Aria T'Loak, the head of Omega.
@@J_Tevo Oh I loved Aria! There is a DLC for her that is really good.
She knows how to make money
@Positiveocity - Positive S#!t I played and platinumed ME2 about 3 days ago, she has about three interactions across the whole game including the DLC.
The fact that I keep hearing "I didn't have the time" imo is a big issue with a review.
You know what's funny? To the best of my knowledge nobody at KF (idk about Janet) has actually beaten the Witcher 3 lol.
Great show. Game sounds good. I don't hear the praise of 5 out of 5 from everyone but I understand a lot of that praise is behind Spoilers
It is weird, one of the best games of all time IMO. Hopefully Andy tackles it when the next gen update arrives he would love it
These intros have been amazing! Can’t wait to listen to this and play the game on Friday!
Music is good but editing is mid tier at best. Appreciate the effort to mix it up tho!
Thanks! It’s been really fun making them
Thanks dude, this was a fun one to work on!
I just played and finished the Frozen Wilds DLC this weekend. I am 100% ready for Forbidden West.
How long was it? I never got around to it.
@@0311E it wasn't long. I beat it in a day, not sure how much playtime I put into it.
It sounds like this game plays better when you take your time with it and engage with the side content. The way Andy played it being the antithesis lol I'd hate to have to lower down to easy to meet a deadline.
Imagine going to a seven course dinner, taking one single bit out of every dish and then saying it was an OKish meal.
@@shaid1111 lol
@@shaid1111 Yeah, it literally isn't. What a ridiculous thing to say.
@@19RoFlMao19 Don't let your excitement for a game turn into you disrespecting and dismissing the opinions of people who actually played it.
@@19RoFlMao19 Calling someone pretentious is very disrespectful. I just looked the word up and advise you to do same before you call someone else it. And if the review drained your excitement that's your fault maybe your expectations were to high. Especially if you get so upset to the point were your calling people who actually have experience with the game pretentious, calling them liars and saying that their opinions are unreliable. If you don't want to hear any criticism of a game and don't want to get your feelings hurt I recommend you just stick to watching trailers put out by these companies. Instead of expecting people to say only positive things so not to spoil your excitement just because they gave their opinions.
I thought the melee in Zero Dawn was just fine so if that's one of the main complaints for Forbidden West, I'm thinking I'm going to love this game.
Sameeeeee!
of course you're going to love it fanboy
I barely used traps in Zero Dawn. I like that they make you strategize and just go in arrows blazing
… What do you mean, how can a game make you strategize AND arrows blazing?…
@@warlorddk2070 my bad, need to proof read next time lol. Meant to say, I like to strategize and not just go in arrows blazing.
@@1nine8two39 XD fair fair, took my brain for a loop there hahaha
I’m hoping to see a review lineup like this for elden ring. gonna be a bummer if only a couple people at kf try it.
As for horizon, happy to hear its better than zero dawn. I’ll be playing it in a couple weeks
Loved hearing everyone's thoughts on this. I think my plays tyle aligns with Janet's because in the first game I used TONS of traps. Laying out Tripwires and getting the machine to chase me through it was how I dealt with a lot of the large machines in the first game. It's really disappointing that you can't lay a ton of traps AND you apparently can't run through the tripwires without setting them off. On top of that removing the infinite fast travel pack feels like a major step backward as far as QoL goes. I'm sure I'll still love the game and I'm excited to try the improved melee as I used it way more than I probably should have for how basic it was in the first game. I'm also super excited that you guys have an official rating scale now.
Good review altho im always bummed out when people talk over Janet
It happens too much. It gets annoying.
This. I noticed Greg talks over everyone, but Bless interrupting her is super frequent. Odd.
I’m actually VERY happy you went over the small details they either improved or didn’t. Thank you guys and gals as usual!
Yay! I'm glad.
You guys kept cutting off, Janet. Why have 5 people on the podcast if you don't give the people equal amount of time. I like you Blessing, but give the others a chance for their opinion and review.
Great review folks. Also, I was really amused by Andy giving it 4/5 but spending 99% of his time just absolutely shitting on the game xD
Think he was playing devils advocate to the others positive feedback
@@davidenriquez9576 Yeah no issues with however they choose to go about it. Just made me giggle whenever he responded to anyone it was usually criticism. And that has its place but it was funny cause if they didn't give out their scores in the beginning, there's no way I could have guessed him giving a 4.
He’s always a pessimist but it does balance out the podcast.
Great discussion, even though if I didn’t know the the scores from get-go I would have thought everyone gave it a 4/5. Maybe it is a 5/5 but I didn’t hear too much on what makes this game “Amazing!”
The fleshed out nuance of what could have been better is much appreciated and its one of the reasons why I enjoy KF reviews but maybe it can be helpful to plan what the positive conversation will look like to prove why the game deserves a high scoring review, such as a discussion moment of what everyone’s top 3 favorite things of the game
But also maybe that’s the necessity of a score system. Like I can talk about the negatives of RDR2 for hours, but in my opinion it is still one of the best games of all times. It can be tough to communicate just how good the game is overall without playing it
The story is great but we were instructed not to talk about many things because of spoilers.
Looks good
The reviewers mostly like shooting bow & arrows and will fight that way all the way through
The reviewers like the story
Looks good 😉
Exclusive
It was stated that 5/5 does not mean perfect or a "masterpiece". The reviewers have to decide whether the game is 4/5 or does enough right be considered 5/5.
For example, the three GTA games on PS2 had issues that were apparent in their time. Regardless, those games were amazing -- I would argue worthy of the term "masterpiece". Not that Forbidden West will have anywhere that impact on the industry, as it does not have to in order to be considered 5/5. After all, a 5-point system is not very granular.
@@TheAndyCortez so would it have been more appropriate to release the full discussion when you could talk more freely about the game and its content? I understand you feel like you have to get something out but this just feels like a biased reveal to many folk as there's not much about what makes the game great. If you see my point?
@@vinski19 Biased in what why? They all either gave it a 5/5 or 4/5. Also this is when Playstation lifted the review embargo and wanted people to put their impressions out their.
45:35 What? In HZD, without any skills put in, you have to draw for more than a second to shoot an arrow. Meanwhile a light melee attack takes half the time and does more than twice the damage, and a heavy melee takes almost the same amount of time but 6x the damage. Now you get combos and whatnot on top of that? This hate for melee is absurd.
Greg don't take no shit anymore, just straight up cutting people off in the intro, dad vibes!
Certain team members have a tendency to ramble. It's for the best.
Why did no one comment on how nice Blessing's shirt looks in this video? Perfectly centered above the Gamecast logo - that drip is impressive. Amazing.
I was thinking about it being that classic KF blue but I didn't mention it cause there was never a good time haha
Love Andy on the review content. Very much looking forward to his complete thoughts on Elden Ring, though I likely won't watch until I'm deep into the game myself.
Great reviews. Love hearing the gameplay is satisfying. I wish everyone was a little bit more vague with the characters involved. Knowing Lance is not the big bad kinda let me down.
One hour in, seems as soon as Andy gave the 4, it's been non stop criticism. Not sure where the 5s came from yet.
I agree, not really felling the "review" sounds more like a critique than a review.... when Parris said, He wished it had more of a Witcher 3 side story arc.......
This is the most unhyped 5/5 review. Sounds more like Andy's score 4/5
I get what you mean. Pretty much talked about what they didn’t like more than liked.
I was not expecting a review this early. HYPE!
I’ve noticed that review embargo’s seem to be based on the devs timezone, typically around 9AM. Ie the start of their workday
That’s how you know Sony is confident in this game
Can you _feel it,_ in the air?
Can you _hear it,_ in the wind?
And when you look outside your window, _what's out there?_
That's right, it's the review season baby!
How did I go into this review video super hyped and come out the other side pretty meh on the game lol. Especially one that was given a 5/5 at the start.
I guess that is the problem with long form review videos where we are just conditioned to rant about negatives otherwise people in chat will say you are being paid off. I also wish the guys didn't have to rush through the game to meet embargo.
Andy especially didnt seem to like the game all that much (but i get the feeling he didnt do enough side quests and exploring), and they gave a lot of negatives and focused on it despite giving 5/5 at the start. I just think KF isnt so hot on this franchise
Credits to Barrett again for the amazing producing of the show. Really like the review score decision. After being a day one Kinda Funny Games fan, put a big ol’ smile on my face seeing Kinda Funny’s scores included in tweets today.
Barrett is the GOAT
@@Gameonysus 👔 👶 🐐
I am not shocked on how Andy feel about the game. He is more of an Elden Ring type of player. Just wait for his review with Elden Ring. He will say it is the greatest game of all time. I am glad we have different opinions on this game instead of everyone praising it and say its a 5 out of 5.
You called it!
Am i the only one who used warrior / melee skill tree more.. that valor surge attack is so addictive .. most of the time, i used R1 , R2hold combo and use the valor attack which is super fun.
dw I'm right there with you. I'm already incorporating melee into every encounter after barely using it in ZD. I particularly can't believe Bless only really used it in the Melee Pits. The jump off skill alone is super fun to use to blend melee and bow combat.
@@tloz171nfs yeah melee is improved significantly and i have used often here because not always long range is going to work.
I can’t wait to play Horizon FW. I sunk 120 hrs in Zero Dawn. I wish it was Feb 18 already.
Same. On my 3rd playthrough of it just waiting patiently for Forbidden West!
Was not expecting this at 3:30am on my drive to work... I'll take it! 😊😊😊
My favorite little thing about zero dawn is that if you do certain side quests through out your game those characters that you meet appear at the final mission and help you because they believe in you and it makes me feel like I’ve made a impact in the world and do become this hero that’s destined to save the world.
Full Gamescast squad, let's go!
Already pre downloaded the game, but still always watch the KF reviews for the great opinions!
I really appreciate that KF has an official review scale, but I feel like it still needs some tinkering - specifically to differentiate between what other sites score as an 8, 9, and 10. When Bless says it’s 5/5 but then in the nuanced conversation he reveals it to actually be less than 5 and more like a 4.5, that seems like a problem to me. Maybe the solution could be adding a 6 for games/movies that are Masterpiece level? I think the easiest solution would just be adopting the 10 point scale because most people can tell the difference between an 8, 9, and 10 🤔
Bless started all wrong, he calls it a 5 but straight away says it's not without its issues.
That right there instantly fails, however bless is a idiot.
I'm having a blast with the game but let's be honest it's a little clunky at times, repetitive puzzles etc. Personally a fantastic 8/10 for me but I'm old school 90s scoring.
Honestly, they prob decided to use this to get people to stop focusing on the score, like you are doing .
Though, that means they should stop talking about the score so much at the start of the video
I love the way Aloy hops onto the ledge at 40:25
Hearing Blessing say he put 8 hour sessions into this - holy smokes! That sounds amazing. But if I only have an hour a day to play this, will I still feel like I’m progressing? Great review and conversation!
Sounds like you could do a story mission one day and then do side quests the next. You will progress but just slowly.
It will feel like walking through a pool of peanut butter, in Levi's Pipes.
Yeah if you're really committed to the hours. I beat the game in about 3-4 or 5 sessions maybe 5 max. I did the intro area to get to the opening credits. Then a good chunk of the first area + there's a point where you get 2 main quests at once that speak to the larger conflict of the game and I did one of them. Then I had to put the game down for other work and I came back and beat the game in a single day but I was playing from the early afternoon until like 3am.
Obviously if you want to dig into more of the side stuff you wont progress the main story as quickly but it's definitely marathonable and I think the first area goes pretty quick bc you don't have the tools to "explore more" yet.
@@Gameonysus Thanks Janet, that helps :)
Seems like Andy didn't engage with the game enough because he was waiting for Elden ring 😂
I really loved Forbidden West, put 75 hours in to it. And I'm at about 90% completion but the last activities I will not do. Just finished it yesterday so now it's on to Elden ring. (Which seems really big aswell)
I think if your gonna do a 5 point scale you have to reserve the 5s for the games that are truly special, they don't have to be perfect but maybe one part of it has to be perfect(i.e either the combat or the stoy) the amount of critism that you guys had doesn't seem like this is a 5/5.
Yeah you know what a 5/5 special game is? BOTW
Agree. This felt 80% negative and 20% positive. 5 out of 5!!!
Totally agree! Usually they throw out like this is gonna be in my game of the year but not once did they even mention that! Sifu seemed more positive that this
X out of 5 scales are inherently more likely to have perfect scores than a 10 or 100 scale. That's not always the case (such as the 4 star ratings with movies) but it tends to be a psychological thing. That said, their scale is essentially just saying the game is amazing.
In the first game you can travel infinitely to campfires once you have the unlimited travel pack gained in one of the larger settlements. At least that's what I remember.
Very impressed with the amount of great content Kinda Funny are putting out at the moment. Well done guys.
thanks!
Is there a patron where I can just have Greg do a voice message that introduces me as a person? I would GLADLY pay for that seriously.
He should be on Cameo!
@@xRebelSpiritx Oh yeah for sure. I did not even think of that one. Got to love that energy he and others bring.
KF Review scores
Blessing 5/5
Janet 5/5
Greg 5/5
Andy 4/5
Parris 5/5
Thanks man 👍🏻
Don't post these you basically giving people a reason to come in and click out.
@@Ragucci25 if KF didn't want to have review scores they could use a system without them. or are you advocating for the suppression of free information?
@@19RoFlMao19 i think maybe our style of review isn't for you? that's perfectly okay.
You guys gotta figure some sort of system to give everyone a chance to speak. Certain people take over the conversation and then those same people cut off someone else that’s barely spoken.
God i love the smell of review season in the morning
Does anyone have a review of this game on a base PS4? I heard about the PS5 and the PS4 Pro to some extent but I want to know how this plays on the original PS4.
Great review! You all have been really killing these lately. Quite enjoyable to listen too.
Having agreed with Tim more than anyone on the first one I was hoping to see him here. I’m very skeptical still after your well done reviews.
I think Greg even said at one point that there's so much they can't discuss due to embargoes and spoilers. So I guess the pros outweigh the cons by a large margin.
@@19RoFlMao19 they didn't bash the game lol, look how made you get because they criticized a game that you haven't even played yet. All there points could be valid but you wouldn't even know because again they played it and haven't.
@@19RoFlMao19 They didn't bash the game. Giving criticism doesn't mean their bashing the game. Bashing would be saying it sucked and had no redeeming qualities at all and that people shouldn't buy it. Since when is giving a game a 5/5 and recommending people play it turn to bashing it.
Not gonna lie, little surprised to hear Sylens isn't in the game more (from what Blessing is suggesting). It really sounded like he was going to be a driving force in the game after how Zero Dawn ended. But if anything, I'm more intrigued now.
I think it would be cool for you guys to expand upon your scoring system. Like, really tell us what you look for in a 1-5 game. Like what makes a game Amazing and not great. They are pretty subjective terms, as reviews are in general, but some elaboration would be nice.
Hey Greg, what is that on your controller?
another weird difference no one prbly noticed between the 1st game and this one tht was a bit of a downside is the elimination long dodge...in the 1st one there was a difference between tapping dodge for a short roll and holding it for a longer roll this was so useful during fights to get away from attacks and stuff taking this away while adding more dangerous machines is weird and a bit of a downside
Waited till 3 am for this!
Melee is the most powerful tree, everything dies so fast when energized. It's so fun and visceral, you definitely feel the hits. I'm 40 hours in and only 15% of the story complete.
Pro tip: Breaced Shot is OP
I have mid-late game loot leveled to max or one or two before max. Hunting machines for parts is so fun and rewarding.
Is it Discord which is causing people's cams to blur them when they are speaking? I'm generally working and listening rather than watching but everytime I look down the speaker is blurry as all get out and everyone else is crisp.
Barrett these intros a so impressive, you are killing it
You all are killing these intros.
PLEASE TELL ME! That there os a ton of new machines that we haven't seen yet (but u have) I hope there is a lot more!!!!!!!
I am so hyped!!!!
Oh y’all showing off with the intro! Nice touch! 🔥
The new intro gave me CHILLS!!!!
Kind of Blessing Reviews…
10 years ago, when someone says 40-hours of gameplay, I would say, 'MORE'! Now, I was hoping that this was a 20-25 hour game so I have could roll credits at a reasonable time 😅 But these reviews help in giving me a different perspectives of the game! I will wait until a few months to rock HFW and would probably try Elden Ring first for the February/March games!
I think Elden Ring will be a bigger, longer game than HFW. If I were you I'd play through Horizon first, although it's still a big game you'll get through it long before you would get through Elden Ring.
@@vgnvideogameninja2930 Elden Ring will definitely be longer, but I play so slow, if I start Horizon, once Elden Ring drops (something I like more narratively) if I don't finish Horizon, I will never finish it 😅
I love my guy at the bottom right, because he makes me think of like Commander Zavala’s real world + cooler little brother lol and his laugh / smile in infectious
This is KFG Vol. 2, Episode 111 (Episode 363 overall)
Yeah I've seen gameplay of a certain feature (y'all know what I'm talking about) and it looks absolutely incredible.
So what the difference between this game & the last game a side from testtub being leader, killing a different make of robot & different tribes and venturing further than her compound or donors birth place. What really different?
Whoever did that intro music needs a huge shout out.
Thanks for the review. I'm definitely looking forward to playing this. Hopefully be able to sink a good amount of time into it next weekend.
Andy should be on every review podcast for all consolers (playstation games, xbox games, nintendo games). He is the only one imo that is subjective and not on a console team so his reviews and thoughts seem more real and genuine. More of a third party reviewer then on a specific team and I really appreciate that. Horizion Zero Dawn was deff one of my top games of last gen and I cant wait to play this but it will have to be later in the year because Elden Ring is next week and no way I will beat Zero Dawn by then.
Melee needed some sort of lock on and a block/ parry to be more funI think
At some points it sounded like more of a 3/5 and more generally a 4/5 game based on the review seeming to mainly be filled with complaints. Definitely didn't sound like a 5/5 from listening to this.
@@adblockevery1243basic bugs like enemies clipping are not as intrusive or game breaking like entire dialog options missing and cutscenes glitching like past Bethesda games
Now I know it's this good I might have to go for the special edition
I scrolled to end and there was no score graphic .... what was the score?
feels right to call horizon amazing but it doesn't feel like a best possible score given how critical you all are. andy's take feels most accurate and fair for this one.
His was also very subjective. You might connect with characters, as other reviewers have and disagree with what he said.
Even after he spent 60% of the game playing on easy?
@@blackmanwithcomputer every review is subjective. my point is his words matched his score. everyone else tore the game apart and gave it 5/5 which felt off to me.
@@Blballerboy yeah who cares what difficulty a person plays on. he even said easy wasn't a steamroll.
@@jjam22 I thought he did the same. He said 4/5, but he came across like he gave it a 3/5.
I’ll be starting the PC port of Zero Dawn in a couple weeks. Hoping I dig it and Sony ports Forbidden west to PC as well.
Hey all! Can anyone, in a non spoiler way, say what "THE PLACE" is they are referring to? I am dying to know if i got there yet (as California is my home state). Thanks!
there is a golden fast travel pack in HFW, you just didn't find it yet. The fast travel system is so simple and people make a huge deal out of it
Here's hoping HFW can get away from BOTW now. Other games have done traversal, gliding and climbing before so let's have some fresh takes rather than comparisons. 🙏
But now it won't be able to get away from Elden Ring
@Vendetta Activist Elden Ring is definitely gonna be good and might just be one of the greatest games of all time
Let’s go!!! I’m currently playing through the first one for the first time
Here's the problem with this video: now I have to wait a week to actually play the game. So excited!
Thank you. Been waiting to hear your review first. You guys got me to get sifu and dying light 2 and now this will be another one to get on Friday
Was there any discussion about trophies/platinum?
I don't want to listen to the review just yet because I want to play a few hours myself first on Friday.
I guess I haven’t seen tons of marketing. I’ve never seen the Golden Gate Bridge. Had no idea where we were. Haha.
Really glad Andy and Greg were in on this conversation to include more criticism. This review could have turned into a real love fest without them there to level out the discussion. Thanks guys!
I hope H3 take more character building tips from Witcher 3. That’s the missing piece. Characters actually feeling like they have a back story and relationships not only with Aloy but others in the world. Hopefully they’ll be able to focus on more dialogue since they don’t have to worry about PS4 anymore.
Nothing to do with the scores, but the conversation around the game has kinda killed my excitement for this game :(.
I really enjoyed the combat in the first game but I feel the same way as Andy. Although I do like Aloy, I did not feel invested in the story at all especially the side characters (maybe the automated scenes were a major factor but I also didn't feel like there were big stakes for the characters). I would've preferred a much grounded story than heavy sci-fi but I know a lot of people like that so can't really hold it against the game. I originally planned to pick it up several months after release but the seeing how the side quests seem more engaging and how refined the combat looks, it makes me wanna try it sooner. Great discussion guys and I love the nuance shown in your perspectives!
Great discussion guys. Looking forward to playing the game soon. ❤️
Man, I love the robot creature designs, human outfits, gear, weapon types cultures and the world lore but can't get in to games this story heavy.
I would kill for a Monster Hunter clone set in the Horizon universe, Horizon - Hunters. Make it happen Sony, get that Monster Hunter World money
Really good conversation all, feel adequately hyped for Friday.
thanks for watching! it's a GREAT GAME
