"Horizon" series is sony's best franchise

[Candarian (gyro aiming)]

Just wanted to say I think this series is Sony's best franchise in my opinion.
I get people's gripes with it being like a ubisoft title but 2013 was the last year I bothered with that company so it makes the "horizon" games feel way more fresh to me.
Anyway, I just love the gameplay. The stealth, the exploration, conquering the machines, setting up traps, figuring out how to reach the tall necks I just love it all. I'm playing through the sequel unfortunately on console, but it's just as good as the first game. I wouldn't say it's exactly better than the first game but it's definitely the sequel it needs to be so far. Ill be definitely getting it on PC when it comes over :)

Numbers don't seem to be your strong suit.

The people having issues are very much in the minority.

If you want numbers please read the 1st few pages of the search results for comments about crashing

at least we both agree numbers dont lie but can be ignored

Again: You are in the minority.

You are bad at numbers. As evidenced in your next post showing you don't understand the difference between one number being over six times larger than the other.

64k posotive
10k negative

thats hardly the minority

See?

Lol, yea 64k is a much larger number than 10k but Die Fourth still argues that 10k isn't the minority when it clearly is.

Let's see. 74k reviews, 64k positive. Quick bit of math tells us that means roughly 86% of the reviews are positive. Keep in mind, not all negative reviews will be because they couldn't run the game, but just for the sake of argument. That means 14% of reviewers were unhappy with the game. That's approximately 1 out of 7. That is a minority. It's not as small as 2-4%, no. But it's also not 30-40% the way our alarmist friend wants people to think.

Ready for the kicker....I haven't done a clean install of Windows since Windows 7. Went from 7 to 10 to 11. Three different motherboards, processors and graphics cards from three different generations. 2500k to a 6700k to a 10850k. Multiple hard drive swaps mirroring to upgrading to SSDs. Never uninstalled the old mobo drivers. I don't have a single problem with my PC lol. Crazy isn't it? HZD was rock solid from the first day I played it even with a very unmaintained PC upgrading over top of and from one OS to another, swapping mobos etc without ever clean installing or even uninstalling the old drivers lol.

10850k

Isn't that just a slightly worse 10900k?

I don't think you'd be able to tell the difference between the two without synthetic benchmarks... Heck most of the time a 6700k is good enough. My video editing software (Vegas pro) is GPU accelerated making the CPU less relevant even for video editing/encoding... I play at high graphics settings so I'm normally GPU bound while my CPU is at 30% usage lol.

Yeah, I get that. I was just going off memory. I seem to recall they're essentially the same chip, just the 10900k is clocked like 100mhz higher stock or something like that.

Also, I don't recall if vegas is one of the ones that has it as an option, but, if it is you should try the setting that uses the igpu on the cpu for extra processing throughput for stuff like scrubbing through video.

May just be Premiere that does that though. Been a while.

So it doesn't work for you. How long ago was this? (rhetorical, I don't really care)
And how long will you continue to troll the message boards about it? (again, don't care)
Try letting people enjoy themselves without subjecting them to your negativity
Get over it. Nobody died or anything.

It doesnt work for MANY people, search " constantly crashing " and { if your capable } see how many recent posts STILL get posted.

I have a 3080ti new 5 months ago so its not a hardware issue, its a FACT the team needs to be reminded of !!

Its not negativity if its true, its called a " fact ".

Again, you utterly fail to grasp the concept that a very small number of people ever review anything. Do you ever even think before you troll?

I would say that I would personally give the award for Sony's 'best' franchise at the moment to God of War, although, probably my favourite game they've been involved in of all time would be Shadow of the Colossus, though not sure if you'd considered that a 'franchise'. It did have a spiritual predecessor and a follow up that apparently weren't quite as good, but never played them myself. I guess you could consider Demon's Souls and Bloodborne franchise games, obviously they have a certain significance. There's also the Gran Turismo and Wipeout franchises which I have very fond memories of from my early teenage years.

Horizon is good though. I personally find it much more interesting than things like the Uncharted or The Last of Us series games Sony have done in recent years. Not trying to rag on those games, but I feel at least Horizon has a certain kind of 'cleverness' to them that I feel those games lack a bit.

Sony have other great I.P.'s no doubt but yeah Horizon for me is their best but that's because the gameplay on show is just what I prefer to play from their titles. In saying that, I'm pretty hyped to run through Uncharted lost legacy when it comes to PC and if they ever release spiderman that would be awesome too

myself and the other ppl that make up the 273 pages on ther forums that have/had constant crashes might feel differently

I wouldnt know how good the game is because i crashed 347 times early game then had progress erased by a corupt save and had to quit 5% into the game.

Obviously port issues and crashing is never cool, at all, but this response does seem pretty entrenched in the "AC Unity" mindset. Even if a decent amount of people on the web say the game functions poorly (and even considering the unsung amount of users who have these issues and don't report them online), a large majority of players aren't having game breaking issues (just like Unity, although I'd argue it was far rougher at launch).

This comment does not attempt to excuse Sony/Guerilla Games from releasing a sub par port (i don't see it as one, I am only referring to these specific bugs); but it does cast light on the idea that if HZD had this bad of a launch, they would likely have made a radical reaction to appease buyers (I would refer anyone to Arkham Knight and Unity's insanely bad PC launches, and how the dev's delisted AK for like a year and ACU gave every player the entire post launch dlc, for free)

I would have to guess people 'customising windows' or overclocking and such are the most likely to get crashing software.

So what's the purpose of public forums in your opinion, eh?

This seems toxic.

[Eye of Newt]

The measure of how good this game is that I went and bought a PS4 JUST to play this game after seeing a Youtube playthrough.
