Game is overrated

[Greit0n]

This game is nothing special, played 10 or so hours, then closed it and forgot about it.
Nothing special about it.

I dont understand how reviewers give it such high scores.

What does VAC ban that happened 1500 days ago have to do anything with my opinion on the game? If you think steam shows accurate "game history" you are delusional, my child.

The game is fun, beautiful and immersive for the first few hours, but nowhere near worth the price that it is sold for.

Honestly, just keep your shallow console exclusives that are 90% cutscenes. PCs don't need that ♥♥♥♥.

VAC ban = your opinion automatically loses any value, value it never had to start with. That's a stain that will never wash buddy. Deal with it.

Haha, nice catch. Guy probably sits in the menu afk to get hours and say "how great" the game is.

I fully admit I alt-tab a fair bit! No shame here, hoping for higher fps at max settings before I really push. I'm having fun and enjoying it though, how is that a bad thing?

Yeah, 44th place in metacritic for PS4. I have zero idea why somebody decided it is game of generation for PC. Even on PS4 nobody considered HZD a masterpiece, simply a good game to spent 30-50 hours and forget about it, nothing else.

Would you mind stopping these dumb generalizations?
As if you know the opinion of ANY PS4 PLAYER OUT THERE.
Pretty rich to make such a statement.

Haha, I must be slow learner as I've put some hours in and enjoy the game . And haven't begun NG+ on Ultra yet. That'll be next week.

The game has good combat mechanics with an interesting storyline. Everything else falls into the Assassins Creed/Just Cause/ Far Cry etc. playstyle of games. Which can be grindy but fun.

Yeah a generic console game where you roll over the floor like a doofus and shoot here and there. Been there done that before hmm... i wonder in what games... With generic boring quests and piss poor performance is a masterpiece indeed.

Seems to me you're a troll. Game is nothing special, generic console garbage. I got this game gifted (free) and I dont even want to play it. That's how mind numbing boring it is. However I feel inclined to because it was given to me.

Its a good Game, but certainly not a masterpiece.

[BOWSER]

I don't play this game for the quests or story. Most of the time, I'm putting markers on the map and just jog to them while killing any robots along the way and repeat the process for a while then I'll look at what things I can do in the Quests menu that is not a Main quest.

After I'm done with that, I put another marker on the edge of the map. When all side quests are done, I continue the Main quest and the process repeats again as I slowly reveal more of the map. I explore everything and everywhere and I don't use the Sprint button unless in combat.

I look for all the collectibles just before the very last Main quest, which requires I walk all over the map again which is not a problem to me. Takes about 90 hours for me to beat this game and that's if I choose to do the last main quest.

I know some people have beaten this game in 20-30 hours. I'm 17 hours in and I just beat the Metal Ring quest with Sona which can be done almost right after you leave the Embrace. xD

funny how opinions can differ, to each their own as we say...
also funny that you prefer assassin's creed origins to this judging by your profile.
assassin's creed origins was okay, the same over recycled ubisoft open world formula trash.
meanwhile horizon to me was far more varied and enjoyable than origins.

I called HZD "simply a good game". That rating allows to "put some hours in and enjoy". No contradiction here. Threads like this appear because some reviewers claim that HZD is some groundbreaking masterpiece, and then people like OP are buying it and get disappointed because they had much higher expectations.

valve approved the refund after 10 hours? Are you dreaming?

They sure as heck should! Heck, they should pull it from release completely and send it back to whoever is responsible for repairs and re-release later. It took me more than 2 hours to even see the game after all the 20 minute Optimizing...crash...Optimizing...crash...Optimizing...crash...play 5 min and see horrid performance and quit to try new drivers, Optimizing...crash...Optimizing...crash...read how to fix by changing swap file size, Optimizing...play 5 min...crash...etc. It's been 4 days and I am only about 20 actual minutes into the game and gave up due to the atrocious performance.

That said, I think I will love it if it ever becomes playable.

This is not my generalization. This is aggregated metacritic score. Open metacritic and look at top of all-time. All masterpieces are sitting there. This is just a Law of Large Numbers. No matter how flawed particular game critic review might be, when hundreds of such reviews are aggregated, result is pretty accurate.

Aside of that it's either a subjective collection of ratings of magazines and users.


I don't give much about such subjective ratings.
I rather watch a gameplay showcase of a game and decide then if I could like it.


I bought HZD and a PS4 Pro, after I watched the whole story of the game.

I liked it that much that I wanted to play it myself.
That's either subjective, but it's a personal experience and a honest one.

I personally would trust a person who has actual PROOF that he / she liked or disliked a game, by various screenshots and videos more than any review or comment which doesn't provide anything more than some sentences about the game.
