Horizon Zero Dawn [PS4, PC]

[RenegadeRocks]

Preloading now.
Is there any info on difficulty. Is it tough enough on normal? GG games are usually challenging enough on normal if I remember kz2 and shadowfall correctly.
Is the system fair on hard or very hard. Because if the gameplay is tight enough then I think this might feel much more rewarding on hard. What is the general consensus from those who have played. Trying to avoid spoilers it's hard to gather impressions

Supposedly it's not. No idea how the difficulty scales, though. In my experience, higher difficulty levels usually just highlight the short comings of game design (most shooters just deterioate into annoying cover-based waiting games, and Bethesda just flat out asks you to adjust difficulty on the fly because they couldn't be arsed to design a cohesive experience in the first place). It's why I'm vehemently opposed to selectable difficulties in Souls games. It's tough to design around multiple difficulty levels, especially in bigger games.

1h18minutes here to unlock. I guess the unlock happens at different times at different countries?

That game is the sole reason I'd like a PS4, but no I won't buy a console for one game ever again

Watched the stream on Eurogamer a bit yesterday and today, and it looks like a lovely world to be in and something I could play, so pre-ordered it, and will be able to play some likely tomorrow (unfortunately for me I had today and yesterday as a day off, and not tomorrow or Thursday ... oh well).

Look forward to spotting some Regular vs Pro differences, and seeing if it will make me switch the Pro to the big TV or if it doesn't really matter.

I played through the beginning last night and so far I like the game a lot. This is unusual as I usually dislike the tutorial part of pretty much any game out there.

I must admit the premise of HZD doesn't appeal at all. Robot dinosaurs? Meh

Yeah, hopefully Kojima puts this tech to better use in Death Stranding

The premise may not interest me but what I've read of the gameplay does. My preorder arrives tomorrow and I'll play this before Zelda. I've played many where the premise or story was not of interest but the gameplay for pure joy!

 

[ProspectorPete]

Dinosaur robots?

 

[Nesh]

I must admit the premise of HZD doesn't appeal at all. Robot dinosaurs? Meh. I don't care for that but I do like a good third person action adventure RPG. And my like of RPGs is not because of

Are you nuts? DINOSAURS and ROBOTS! PUT TOGETHER!
DINOBOTS!

Thats AWESOME!

I am pretty sure you are not an 80s kid

You suck.

I was indeed a kid in the 80s! But robot dinosaurs is preposterous. Unless it's not. I'm curious where the story will take us!

You are making this guy angry

Preposterous pffff

PS5 port confirmed!

Very impressive cosplay by LinaLuckyStrike

I know those aren't the graphics of the game but that being said, the original graphics are incredible overall. Some still shots are drool-worthy. However, the face of this girl reminds me of the fact how much better Aloy would look if her artistic design was better, this cosplayer rules. My GF is ginger and I can-t stand Aloy tbh. The vastness of the game, specially on PS4 Pro is an entirely different thing, only the fog /I love Skyrim's fog, always will/ and Aloy especially, is where I think it could be improved.
