Horizon Hunters closed beta

I played the first game and it felt like I was playing 3rd person FarCry game and for me was more than enough to skip the DLCs and its sequel.
I tried it for about thirty minutes then watched my wife play for like 45 more, then realized being massaged by a cheese grater would be more engaging, so I then went and did something, anything really, else.
 
Destiny 2 had ~170k active players across platforms and that wasn't enough for Sony.

I wonder how long Sony will fund this — Horizon won't be doing anything close to that.

It's a Horizon game. They will fund it with a 2000 person studio for as long as 1 player is playing it and that player is Hermen Hulst
 
I thought we were a community that would vaguely break NDA for one another? I thought we were family. Maybe I was wrong...

Busy Work: Zero Dawn.

The games are bland, boring, and generic.
The Horizon games were unironically birthed from some meticulous and artificial market research that Hulst has full certainty and confidence in. Its the gaming equivalent of a "test tube child". Something about this series just does not feel quite "authentic" in a sense.

I still insist that the worst decision they made was explaining what happened to the planet and who Aloy's "mother" was by the end of the first game. Without that mystery hanging over the franchise everything else just falls flat. A slow burn of finding everything out over multiple games would have been great.
