Surprised how bad this game is

[SpinDie426]

im not talking about the bad port or anything, it runs fine for me, i am more surprised how low quality this game is in general. The first thing i did was run around with a controller and aim around and jump up and down and stuff. The animation of the main character jumping looked artifical and cheap. And the lighting of the graphics just looked much older

not researching i just expected an incredibly high quality title. Something like shadow of the colossus but 2020. Instead i got a game that ive played 10,000 times already. Critical hit!! Save campfire found!! INSTANT KILL SNEAK ATTACK! Perk that slows down time when aiming!! GTFO

It looks and plays like a B budget game, it reminds me of elex. It doesnt feel like its on the same level of tech as games like tomb raider or far cry 5. Not even close. Not even a little bit close. It looks and plays like its 10 years behind those titles.

this game is cheapp ugly garbage. DX12 when i know for a fact i have DX9 titles with better visuals and cleaner lighting

But the rest of your post should be valued as a fact?

For me that's either a subjective stance and in that case nor good or bad. It just applies for the people who think that way. ;)

Well I mean I could take a lot of time to go over the entire game from its mechanics to visuals to UI and compare them to what was out 7 years ago and how things have progressed since then but I feel like that would be a grand waste of time given the audience. Changing the opinions of someone who is incredibly ignorant and proud of it is no easy task.

Well i dont trust people reviewing games on steam. I can buy the game, if after 2 hours im not impressed i can refund it and buy it againn when its on sale

2 hours are not enough. HZD first 2 hours are amazing, even first 5 hours. I remember when I bought it, I was unable to stop playing, loved game so much. But after they killed Rast I was greatly disappointed and future exploration showed that majority of game immersion and story is gone with him.

I can listen and respect an opinion..but when someone ends the post with "the game is garbage" I dont trust that person anymore

way better slide then far cry 5, i go crazy sliding under dinos and leaping away from charging enemies.

HZD and DS show just how much effort and love needs to go into pc ports otherwise they will be terrible and what a good port and bad port looks like.

They are both open world games running on the same engine, and whilst DS could get 2.0 working among other cool effects, which may or may not be HZD's devs fault, HZD can barely keep a stable framerate and load in its last gen looking textures in general.

For jeebus sake i can run RDR2 better than HZD and that game runs like hot garbage lol

Also, the gameplay is heavily scripted. Arrows you shoot are fake and hone-in to predetermined damage points on enemies.

Ive been testing it by shooting the weak-spot on horses as they are running. Even if its a direct hit the game many times wont count it because its hard to execute a script on a running enemy like that.

it reminds me of witcher 3 combat, where your crossbow bolts would automatically hit scripted spots on the enemies, where you would swing your sword and the script takes over to SLIDE you to the nearest enemy. So garbage

I can just feel if a game is garbagey within like 5 seconds. I just know. This is not a high quality game

these are game designers not game developers, game designers borrow stuff that already exists and implement them in the most basic way possible

and the perks only being able to be unlocked in strict sequences literally ruins the entire purpose of RPG elements in gaming.

A player should be able to decide to skip the basics and save up for OP perks instead, otherwise its not really an RPG. But a narrow hallway of a game

ROFL at praising FC5. You know it's basically just a open world formula they've been stuck on for like 10 years? It's not even a good formula, hence why those games get cheap fast.

Glad to know I´m not the only one thinking this game is bad. Both story(mainly story) and gameplay.

I think the ever-present UI makes the game seem lower quality also. Reminds me of like an xbox live arcade title or something.

The UI just doesn't compliment the graphics, it just looks like theres junk in the way of my game

And the way the waypoints dont point to an objective, but instead the nearest road that will get you to that objective, results in an extremely intrusive UI in general

Im gonna check settings and see if i can maybe make the UI slightly transparent, i cant believe this developers did not enable anti-aliasing on the UI elements

in risk of rain 2 there is option "Enable AA on UI text and icons" or something. Which struck me as amateurish because AA on UI should always be enabled on all games period

If you are wondering why it says i dont own the game, i do. As well as +1800 other games in my steam library. However steam does this new thing where they CRIPPLE your steam account for 2weeks, then a month, then 8 weeks if you get two warnings from community moderators within a period of 14 days. And the things i got "warnings" for were absolutely hilarious.So this is my alternate truth account where i say true things. Truth has a detrimental effect on people so it is wise to make an alternate steam account to chat in the community hubs. The last two things on my main real steam account i got warnings for. #1, I said"Im right your wrong im right your wrong get out get out get OUT!" -Clearly a joke. and the other was for making a post in the dayz community hub called "Whats the deal with dayz? Seriously?" and i asked them why other game companies have made 3-4 full games from scratch while they still havent gotten in the main features from the dayz mod. I got banned for "Trolling" This resulted in 14 days where i couldnt even send screenshots to my friends in chat

so yeah, this is my alternate steam community hub account where i can tell moderators to suck it, lick it, rub it, flick it, bop it, etc

also, the game runs fine for me with everything on medium and textures on high. I havent had any crashes yet. It just took me a while to actually get the game to launch.

Man you are joking. Really. Or didn't played that much games. There are dozens games with better story even from AAA-category. Bioware games before 2011. Prince of Persia. Witcher 2,3. TLOU. Uncharted. GoW. GTA3-5. RDR2. Starcraft BW and WoL. Mafia.... this is just first obvious things which came to mind.
