to be fair UC2 and TLOU are from devs that are very well loved with a huge following and lots of awards. it's a big difference to hype a ND game compared to a RAD game or Hello Games Game
Every time I come into this thread I see no impressions (within a page or two of the end of the thread). I still don't know how people feel about it so far.
No it wasn't. There were endless threads even here on GAF about how poor it was looking in preview coverage. In fact many people blamed the press for unjustly giving a poor impression of the game.
The Order getting slammed in reviews wasn't really a surprise.
No it was not, trust me, I would know. I defended that game on GAF a whole lot before it released.
First preview that pops up when you search "The Order preview"
It did until reviews came out. it was hyped all the way from reveal until reviews.
Never "feels" right for him, not his kind of game, never resonated, etc.
Very controls oriented player, he places big emphasis on how game feels to play.

Didn't realize impressions were being added to the first page. Thank you.There's a lot of impressions already, people really like it. Don't know if every impression is on first post but probably most of them are, check it out.
Well, yeah? On the surface, it did look interesting. Nice graphics, Victorian London, lightning gun, werewolves.thats what i meant. after people played it that changed. but on the reveal it was getting nothing but praise
I see 133 topics from Jan 2015 and older on GAF alone a majority of it being all praise. it changed drastically in Feb 2015 the release window month with 112 topics most of it negative.
Same with NMS that was hyped up like crazy until the reviews and people playing it
When I come into the thread I usually check a couple pages. Haven't had time to comb through everything.You haven't read much then.

That makes sense Miami. The one time I tried it, 1 side quest was like 0.46% or something. Multiply by 5 and you get close to your number.
Coffee cups are...a region where you can find an "ancient vessel," a rare item pick up for trading and upgrading and stuff. I bought a map upgrade to show me where they are. They're actually little coffee mugs and stuff from the distant past. Lol
Yes, includes tallneck.
Maybe the game is only counting time where you're not idle. That would be pretty intelligent. In that case I would agree that I've played 10 hours so far.
For those wondering about how good the side quests are, I have an example I just experienced. It was pretty great.
I was on my way to a cauldron when I ran across some bandits. Didn't know they were until they started attacking me. I defeated them and took their heavy weapon and figured I'd need it on the way to the cauldron.
On the way I find some braves who need help fighting machines because their back up brought the wrong ammo supply box. So I decide to help them.
After some intense fights with my heavy weapon, we notice someone from the group disappeared with some valuable supplies. They ask me to go find him.
I track his trail with my focus and find him not too far away. He explains that he's in debt and needs these supplies to save him from his debtors.
As he explains that, his neck is sliced by a new type of machine. It goes invisible and attacks you with remote controlled bombs and moves like a panther. A really thrilling machine I hadn't seen until just then during this Side quest,
I defeat the machine and return the supplies. Now I'm back on my way to the cauldron, but not without being paid handsomely
The graphics are incredible. I don't know if you can even hit nighttime in the first area of the game. Once I got out of there I experienced the beauty of night. The moon and the lighting on the machines look especially incredible at night on my 4K hdr capable tv. I have been taking as many, if by more screenshots that Uncharted 4.
One small complaint is the transitions between weather can be a little harsh at times. One minute there was this heavy rainfall that was beating down and the wind was in full force then shortly after it was completely sunny and not overcast. It can be slightly jarring at times that's all.
The first 7 hours of the game remind me a decent amount of Far Cry 4. There the whole crafting and hunting aspect and the environment looks like Far Cry 4 on steroids. But you get the same tones and colors that are present in that game. I couldn't remember a damn thing about Far Cry 4's story, and thankfully that is not the case here
Yes, the facial animation can be slightly stilted at times but some of the dialogue is so interesting that I find myself going through every option available just to hear more about the world and mystery surrounding it. I already came across the infamous scene and yes it was bad. However, fear not, out of the dozens of other conversations I have had, I have not come across anything that I would say is close to being as poorly animated and voice acted as the infamous scene. I'm actually really digging the story so far and I'm really curious to see where they take it.
Also, Ashley Burch does an amazing job as Aloy. I always will pick the smartass dialogue option whenever it is available because her lines are always clever and her delivery is spot on. I can answer some questions if anybody has some. I am typing on mobile so it may take me a little longer.
Tfw you realize the optional bandit camps are more MGSV than Far Cry
I like the sidequests so far. They're not elaborate schemes so far like a heist or something from GTAV but they have characters and lore and completing unique tasks with the core gameplay.
Enemies take defeated enemy loot confirmed. I have the picture to prove it too. I will post stuff later. I have not seen ants yet, still investigating.
I can't access that location again so I can't tell if it had ants or not. The first area after the intro I see no ants on trees on regular, can pro people see if there are ants on trees outside the beginning
Ok now I'm starting to love it.
That first area is some Hinterlands shit. Just get the fuck out to where everything opens up.
I'm playing on Hard and I die after two hits.
ITS LIKE A SOULS GAME DUDE

People were hyped for the concept, but when people got to play it it was heavily criticized, not sure why you are doubling down on this. Comparing this to NMS or The Order is laughable. I mean what point are you even trying to makle?thats what i meant. after people played it that changed. but on the reveal it was getting nothing but praise

Thank you very much!I hope these helps
Can't wait for the reviews so we can get a lot of the bullshit out of the way.
My sarcasm detector is broken. Are you serious?It's a problem, looks like a Nintendo 64 game.
I think reviews will only bring out the Far cry with Robots, Ubisoft posters to be honest, that's the only way they can try and downplay it is my guess, as I am pretty sure it is going to review very, very well.

They will play "it's GG game" card
I need someone to tell me if the music is god tier. Lamp said it gave him AC2 feeling so is the music on bar with that game? cause holy fucking shit if so.
Ambient music is sooo important.

Not hard to see it looked great at reveal, then people played it and things changed, not so with Horizon now is it.

Predict the Flops of 2017
Is Horizon Zero Dawn going to be the next big gaming disappointment?
Predict: 2017 in Gaming
What are your expectations for Horizon Zero Dawn?
Will post these in the review thread and make snarky comment.

Zelda will review higher regardless if it's better than Horizon or not and people will just point to that and say Horizon sucksCan't wait for the reviews so we can get a lot of the bullshit out of the way.
I'd argue most people hype things based on how they look. They vastly outnumber the people who get excited for something just because of platformmy only point was that many games get overly hyped or overly trashed. especially when it comes to exclusives due to the immaturity of fanboys. 90% of people hyping or trashing the game aren't gonna buy it or don't even own the system.
Personally I'm hyped for horizon. I don't think it'll be a a situation like the order. I got my pre-order in for it like a week or so ago. But i hype things based on how they look. I don't have a platform alliance.
It has great ambient music and soundtrack. I was impressed.
The Horizon theme is catchy and implemented at several points. It's not Ezio's Family but it's nice
3am EST, January 20th. Something to enjoy with the morning coffee.Review embargo lifts on the 20th?
Wow!! sony is really going hard on leaks, received three DMCA takedown notice for dropbox,imgur and drive within a day. I should stop linking pics and videos now

anyone post a trophy list or comment on if a platinum will be rage inducing ?
The load times with a standard HDD from PS4 are around 15 seconds for respawn and 33 seconds fast travel.
Also, if I remember correctly there were a few comments from the developers that raised some eyebrows (we focus on narrative instead of gameplay), things like that. Then some previews started coming in and you could read (sometimes between the lines, sometimes more explicitly) about certain issues. Then the reviews/impressions came in and that was it.Well, yeah? On the surface, it did look interesting. Nice graphics, Victorian London, lightning gun, werewolves.
I don't get the point you're making. People praised an interesting trailer and concept, and then people saw more gameplay, played said game, and criticized it
