What?
A company making one series over the course of 12 years doesn’t automatically mean they are being forced to make the games. But ok... I at least appreciate the nuance in your narrative today.
It's a well known fact the press labeled KZ as a Halo killer. What is your source for Sony pushing GG into make a "Halo killer" game?It's a well known fact that Sony pushed GG into Killzone originally as the Halo Killer, this isn't a new thing. Just because you're ignorant of it doesn't mean it never happened.

(this is all IMHO, naturally) I feel there are basically two narratives in HZD. They overlap at times of course, but I still find them to be quite separate. One is about "what happened?", and that's incredibly well done. There are tons of written notes and audiologs to discover into if you're so inclined (I'm not usually one for collectibles, but there's a particular set that tells a quite touching story about the "old world") - you don't have to, the story gets told along the main quest, but if you like to delve deeper into the lore it's there. But I was surprised how hard(ish) scifi it turned out to be. Personally I would have been fine with "so there are cavemen fighting robot dinosaurs, just roll with it", but when I learned what "Zero Dawn" is I was quite blown away. It was not something I saw coming, so my hat's off to John Gonzales there.
And then there's the story of Aloy the protagonist, and.... well, it's a story about Aloy the protagonist. It's not particularly bad, it's just quite generic and some of the story beats can be seen from a mile away. Still, to have one great narrative and one average in a single game is much more than with most games.

You do know that forcing a developer to make certain games and marketing Killzone as the Halo killer are different things right?

Horizon: Zero Dawn (Complete) for $9.99 at GameStop
Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition is $13.39 on US PSN
$9.99 price point and a few dirt cheap promotion help too.Wow, and here GAF lead me to believe "everyone was done with Sony"
Bless Sony for making games affordable for all purchasing demographics.
Maybe Voost is under the impression that because Microsoft was forcing Bungie to make Halo games - driving the subsequent separation of the companies and the creation of Destiny, that surely Sony, with it’s “Halo killer” was doing the same thing GG. (You know, to drive parity and such)
I didn't say that, you simplfied the post because you're not very smart and won't admit it.
Sony has moved on to pushing Resistance, that at the start sold more than Killzone, but still wanted to try and make a succesfful mass selling FPS< and told GG to make 2 sequels. GG themselves have stated they didn't want to keep making Killzones.
You see Sony constantly on the PS3 trying to get that mass FPS hit with TP exclusives like Haze to experiments like MAG among others. Takes very little time to research, but you ikely won't.
Anyway, this thread is about Horizon doing well so yep.

fact and truth are all you need
Gotta go the low route and ignore my above post to make this huh? Sad, well guess you aren't a person who likes honest discussions.
So back to the topic.
Why'd you ignore my post asking for receipts, my dude?Gotta go the low route and ignore my above post to make this huh?
Yep. That's why they moved onto Horizon. You got a source that says Sony was against them doing that?GG themselves have stated they didn't want to keep making Killzones.

Calling someone trolling for giving a fact about one of the main reason why HZD sold that much then telling to GTFO after admitting the truthYou're obsessed. Go play some games, kid.

But what is it you were hoping to add to this discussion with your comment? Does the aggressive pricing diminish the game in some way? Is it somehow reflective of poor quality (this is obviously false)? I was certainly less inclined to buy HZD when I did because there were a lot of other options on sale, but sale price + Sony voucher made it an easy buy. I'm certainly really glad I bought the game!
Truth hurt I guessThis doesn't exist in isolated vacuum this is your entire post history and schtick. But keep it up, you'll only bury yourself again, and I'll just call you out every time you stumble into threads like a broken record oh brave warrior.
Truth hurt I guess

I think opinion (presented as such) in the OP is a good way to start the conversation. I don't see any problem with that.You know, you can make a sales milestone post without injecting subjective opinion into the OP setting a tone of the thread. You can use a separate post for your opinion.

Then show me the concrete number from SonyYoure lying
HZD isnt the only sony exclusives that reach over 10 milion this generation
but looking at your history post your not exactly a ps fans either arent you?
Ok, I've never really gotten an answer on this but is it a stealth game? I hate stealth games but this always interested me.
On a side note, it definitely did bug me how...in the present narrative, some aspects of the robots are almost mystical, such as how Hades is able to be transferred around. In the closing scene, we see Hades zapped across a great distance through the air like a spirit. That clashed with my understanding of the technology we've been dealing with. Additionally, when the swarm was awakened, they were able to consume bio matter so cleanly just by zapping it, but in the past narrative there was a scene involving a swirling milkshake of dolphins getting eaten by a Horus. I expectd more spinning blades and gruesome plant destruction...
PS5 will have benefit hugely from the sequels of all those big exclusives on PS4: Spider, GoW, Bloodborne, Horizon. Must buy system imo
I get what you're after, but I'm willing to give it a pass for artistic license. For example, how Corruptors take over other machines - in "reality" there probably wouldn't be a need for flashy red colours. But it makes sense as a game mechanic (easy to distinguish corrupted machines) - and it looks cool.
As to Hades at the end, I'd take that "zapping" as more of a metaphor. But (and this is just my own theory, based purely on speculation) what happened can actually make sense. Remember, it was Sylens' lance that Aloy used to eventually take down Hades. He's clearly on a whole different level in his understanding of technology compared to Aloy. So my theory is, he rigged the lance to get his "pet" back and under control again. We've already established in the game world that the Focus devices can function over vast distances, so having an AI transported over vast distances as well isn't that outlandish.
helps that all of them were game of the year contenders or even won it! Really great games..Impressive the scores of the big Sony IPs on this gen. Uncharted 4, Horizon, Spider-Man and GOW.
Do it! It's really quite meaty, you can easily spend 10 hours on the main story (especially on harder difficulties) and then there's that open-world fluff if you want to grind it out.I have yet to play the DLC, though. Might actually start it this weekend.
