We Mass Effect now
It's an rpg with dialogue trees,
it's ok not every game needs to commit to an ending.
But killzone bla bla bla
Haters gonna hate.
I just hope this game reviews well
That will make even funnier

Why would an ending to a videogame story put you off when the vast majority of games have terrible stories anyway?
Not trying to defend it (everything I have seen of this game screams repetitive open world action game personally) but if you're into the gameplay what does it matter?

No need to have a mini meltdown over this.
I think her name being Aloy is even stupider after this reveal.

It's kinda needed, there's no hard lock on in this game. Plus it only seems good for either a Sneak Attack or taking down smaller enemies like Watchers which makes it odd to think why there are two melee attacks.

This. I stopped caring about videogame stories a long time ago. Luckily everything else looks great in this game so I'm still hyped.

Incredibly obvious twist since the moment they named the main character Aloy (Alloy)
Well, no offense, but that's pretty must the most obvious twist they could go for.
Hell, her name is Aloy for crying out loud.

That is actually the opposite of how stories tend to work.
People generally enjoy stories MORE when they know what happens, because it allows them to pay attention to what is happening rather than trying to predict what will happen next.
If the opposite were true, and enjoyment decreased with subsequent experience, people wouldn't constantly rewatch movies or replay games.
For almost anyone, your enjoyment of a thing grows over time as you come to appreciate it more and more. The notion that a virgin experience is the best, simply isn't supported by the evidence.
Your not making the critics any less likely to post with that attitude.
The game looks good, you don't need to be overly defensive about an out of context ending.

Because a dissatisfying ending can potentially sap the desire to replay the game. There's a case for games having bad stories, but I think poor endings are awful in any piece of media for trying to enjoy it again.
I mean, it's pretty cliche.
I've said since day one I think it will review well. Mostly because from everything we've heard the game plays really well. The dinobots and being able to mount them and the fact this is open world is a huge selling point.
This forum is reading a supposed leaked ending and judging everything based on that. People on here have a tendency to do that a lot. Not that it's an excuse but most open world games don't have the best stories. Even the highest selling ones. GTAV's story is forgettable. Fallout 4 didn't have a good one. Yet it didn't stop people from buying those games and continually playing them.
Oh and by the way this ending doesn't even sound bad so I have no idea what people expected or wanted.

Seems legit but I wonder how the sequel will be made if it's true.
I don't care about the ending at all.
It's better than look for ciri, get some stupid crystal, save princess, save the world from some powerful nuclear weapon.
My problem is with the same people always lurking in the horizon thread just to shit the game for no reason.
Not just this but a poor ending can also make the entire journey throughout the game seem pointless. Not everyon is here for an arcade-like experience and a narrative that's compelling can be utterly ruined by not having a worthwhile payoff.

Other stuff has came out of 4chan. Like the Assassins Creed Egypt stuff. Kotaku officially broke it but it was out on 4Chan before the rumors could be confirmed.

Even Arcade Like games have to end well I feel. I much prefer replaying Ikaruga to Radiant Silvergun because the Ending in the latter is just Nihilistic and makes everything you've done pointless compared to the former's reincarnation of the protagonist and saving of the world.
And? This is nothing new for this medium? And cliche doesn't always equal bad either. The story here is just going to be a way to facilitate gameplay which many people have liked. I never expected and amazing story because open world games just straight up don't have the best stories.

Sounds ok to me.
Sounds ok to me.
and you post in every Horizon thread defending the game religously?
We're discussing a leaked ending and not if the game will be good or not so I don't see what the problem is here or how we're all "haters".
The ending sounds very generic and lots of people would have guessed with very little story footage how the games story would end up if this leak is legit, and that's what most people discuss in here. They are not saying Horizon will be shit and it will be a bad game.
EDIT: Also how do you know the story is going to be better than witcher 3's story before Horizon has even released? lol
This is true. I fully expect to enjoy the game in general once I get around to playing it.

Assuming it's true, I saw that twist a mile off, how incredibly disappointing. Is it just me who is entirely exhausted by this sort of shit?
However I personally was never interested in the story behind this world. I'm actually dreading cyberpunk and I fear they are just going to hit every trope in sci-fi just like every other fucking game out there at the moment.
Wake me up when people start producing Tarkovsky levels of sci-fi in games. Until then can people stop trying and just go back to killzone/halo esque generic sci-fi narratives.
Did not read it but apparently it is another one of those unfinished, open endings? Oh, for fucks sake, why can't people write a self contained story with sequel potential for the life of them? Really disappointed in that, I hope it is not as blatantly open as some recent games. Well, the pool of games is very large next year so my money goes to games who stick the landing if true. It doesn't even need to be a good/great ending, but just end something (with a healthy amount of sequel potential if they want).

Oh my god...
The point being how is it played out in the end , and if the player will be able to connect to the story itself and how will the execution of it, take place. Although you may be right , Synopsis is a wrong term to use in this context.

Neogaf said FFXV Ending was the shittest thing ever in the World when it is actually pretty good so... Leaving this thread

It's a pretty nice twist though, I don't understand people who say it is a stupid or bad ending. It can be explained throughout the game in a very good way to make it a fine ending. I wonder what Jesus would have to say about it. I guess now I will have to play it since these kind of twists make for some amazing theological discussions with my fellow colleagues at the university.

"They don't really explain the corruption"
So the plot is utterly superfluous then. You can't have something like that and NOT explain it at least a little bit. Come on, that's lazy sequel bait.

Yeah pretty much this.
Looks like 2017 gonna be another year of Gaf being wrong all the time.
