Some people on 4ch played the game and here are some expressions. Game seems pretty mediocre from writings.

>Human AI is atrocious and you spend a lot of time fighting them.
>Stealth is laughable. Streamer was causing explosions and firing a machine gun looking weapon and enemies weren't alerted as long as he was a certain distance away or in a bush.
>Fog everywhere, day and night obscuring objects in the distance, this disappears when you enter photo mode for bullshots.
>Robo-dino hacking is OP and easy to do. If you initiate it mid fight they literally stop moving to allow you to finish, just get behind them.
>Multiple Brom tier cutscenes
>Bow and arrow sounds like you're launching spitballs and will be most of your combat
>Streamer "fast traveled" and it took well over a minute loading.
>Lots of invisible walls in an open world game

LOL, lets downplay Horizon, the post. Sounds like nonsense and counter to everything else.

Thanks, it's very eye opening, fuck all people here on NeoGAF enjoying this shit, probably with early copies provided by Sony to talk good about the game.

No they didn't. These are second-hand "impressions" from watching some random person stream. It's pretty telling that you're getting your impressions from that shitty /v/ thread instead of NeoGAF, though. You know, that place that has a hard-on for this game's failure, particularly because it features people of color and a nonsexualized lead female character.

Do they even right anything positive or you have copied only the negatives, because this looks like a "let me shit on the game" atleast give a thought what you are copying from there.

"fog everywhere"

For the record 4chan hated the game before it came out lol.

Anyways. The fog is a real "problem". It's everywhere and clearly hides the draw distance. But the game looks amazing and the fog is pretty well done as to not detract from it.

Interesting that everyone there hates it while everyone here loves it.

Edit: wait, are these impressions of a stream?

I mean, it's clear what that poster was trying to do, but I felt the need to reply to clear up that it was based on a stream, not actual hands-on playtime.

I'm surprised the fucking pedos at 4chan aren't wetting themselves over certain Aloy scenes.

To all the people asking for a lock-on feature..........
Git gud.

Not only that. I find games that you need lock on to be annoying in combat really. I like the controls to be precise enough that I don't have to rely on a lock on. Not to mention lock on done badly is worse than none (witcher two I'm looking at you).

As some one said dragon's dogma had no lock on and that was the best combat (so far) of any rpg I've played.
