Probably cause GG aren't really known for their storytelling. Amazing graphics for sure though.

Because in the recent trailer they've just shown off the villain and within two seconds you can tell he's not interesting in the slightest. The Story Trailer did little to alleviate my concern with the narrative. But it did elevate my hype for the gameplay in one segment.
I can tell Aloy's going to be a fine character. She's a character I want to play as, someone who's genuinely inquisitive about the world and finds it just as cool and weird as the player does.
i'm not expecting much on the story front simply because even the best AAA games these days (especially open world) just sort of take you through the motions. world building looks cool but i'd be surprised if the plot veers much beyond defeating some big bad that harnesses the dino robo tech or whatever they end up calling it

I like this post especially with the Nioh analogy. It's understandable that some gamers want more unique experiences and mechanics in their games.

This is not true at all.

Only Zelda is ranked higher.
It only has 12 pages on its GameFAQs page, it must be true ;D
It's been sitting high on Amazon's best sellers for awhile now, it has a lot of hype, especially for a new I.P with some incredibly popular competition. It's probably just you've not been paying it much attention, like I haven't seen much hype for Zelda or Mass Effect, but that's because I'm not looking for it, not because there isn't any.
edit: Also, Sony are likely to step up the marketing massively a week or so from release, it's in a great spot to be a big success.
You can tell a villain is going to be interesting from three seconds of screen time? They might not even be the main villain.

why is Pokemon Alpha 7th?

I really want everyone to know how much more Titanfall 2 sold than Nioh. It was a staggering amount.
Horizon preorder already out over half a year, it is why only#6, it always perform great on Amazon last months

First Week sell through >2.5M, call it
There's humans to fight as well. But yea, probably going to be mostly mechs. I think they look pretty damn cool to fight against though.

How you present a villain's character matters a lot. They could not be the main villain but they're still a villain. In this case, the villain is a person, they could have interesting motivations but the way they showed him made him seem like a worse version of Scolar Visari. I hope there's more to his speech but Horizon's world doesn't seem nearly as morally Grey as Killzone's World did which puts a damper on my confidence.
It's one of the biggest reasons I'm excited for it, you having to chip away at vital parts to beat them and in some cases can use the pieces you knock off against them.
If it isn't your thing though I'd probably skip it, there's human and actual organic wildlife to kill, but I think the mechs are going to be where the real focus went.

Yes, it matters a lot... in the game not the trailer. In fact from all the trailers you only heard a couple of lines of dialogue and a single cutscene with him. Glad you can make that judgement based on that.
