Nag Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 The review embargo ends tomorrow for this... I was kind've expecting it to be mid week. Fingers crossed this performs well as, so far this year, this is easily my most wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 Yeah, looking forward to seeing where it lands tomorrow. I’m expecting high 80s at the very least, could go as high as 92. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 92 is so weirdly specific lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 I think 92 is kind of the glass ceiling at the moment, only very few titles/franchises can break through that I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nag Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Happy with this and it's sitting at pretty much exactly where I thought it would... there's a couple of real outlier reviews in that lot though, just who the fuck are stevivor and Gadgets 360 anyway.

Maybe time to bring the popcorn out for the sequel's review comment section and sort by 'worst' 🍿 Here you go https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2022-02-14-horizon-forbidden-west-review#comments They not happy it didn't get a silver or gold sticker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellow Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 That review kind of makes it sound (gameplay-wise) like a more annoying version of the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaggletooth Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I dont now why we still use the "It brings nothing new to the table comment" does it have to to be a great game? and its a comment that always seems to be directed towards some titles more than others, never quite sure why its held against some games and not others? Regardless still never quite sure why people get so bent out of shape about other peoples opinions and scores, ultimately we cant all agree, and its not like this is getting bad scores! At the end of the day if this is only just as good as Horizon it will be a great game and I will enjoy it more, It will be better than BOTW, AC, and any other game you like more! and if a majority of people disagree with me it just means the majority are wrong and have no taste 😁😆😜 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfnick Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Damn, graphically it does look stunning. Just look at all that looting though. Urgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 What’s wrong with looting? 🤔 Anyhoo, LEGO fans will be pleased: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Just so sick of it. Every open world game does it and it adds nothing. Going up to twigs or plants and pressing a button is not fun in the slightest. Even 1 or 2 reviewers mentioned it’s a big much in this & they usually love that shit.

DisturbedSwan Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 Ok. I love it personally, have been looting like a madman in DL2, love that shit. Never really heard anyone complain about it before, just a staple of the genre really and one I personally welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Definitely starting to hear some kick back on it from reviewers. Mary brought it up on the new Fire Escape cast funnily enough too when discussing Dying Light 2. I don’t know. I’ve just started to get a irrational hatred towards it lately. It clicked how much I hate it when I gave Valhalla a try and it asked me to scan the environment and pick a plant, I immediately just felt I can’t do this shit anymore. It’s the main reason I don’t really get on with Battle Royale games too, doing that initial drop and running around looking at the floor for loot just exhausts and depresses me.

No but that’s a very dismissive way of describing gameplay. Resource management can add to an experience but you’re right in that it can be leaned on too heavily in some games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
