I don't get it

No I played a demo of this at PAX. It's designed for the lowest denominator of player, like Assassin's Creed where you're dumped in a world with a bunch of fun "I win" toys that completely remove any tension or difficulty.

gee that doesn't like fun at all

skinnerboxes are all the rage don't you know

You don't recognize a magnetic melee attack?

You don't have to be a retard to enjoy power fantasies, user.

ROLL ROLL ROLL ROLL! Quit SAYING THIS IS TACTICAL COMBAT! TIRED OF THAT FUCKING MEME.

I don't think anybody else in this thread knew that that was the focal point of this webm.

Does it autoplay like AC does then?

The magnetic lock on attack animations and sync animations I guess
I assumed this was the case from the beginning, Wasted potential with all the cool designs and environmental art

It's "casual" so that means it's "bad".

It doesn't have to be a focal point to be the worst feature presented, it was glaringly obvious to me at least and I'm not even that user.

So its exactly what people are saying, its an open world monster hunter with the difficulty stuck on bulldrome.

I believe you're supposed to notice that the player character wasn't even facing the right direction and the attack still landed.

uh, yes?

his weapon clearly made contact on the way up

This is the hardest difficulty

I've never played this game so I don't know how it works. I just thought they attacked in that direction without moving the camera.

>an open world monster hunter
How are people comparing the two. One is an action game with no compromises. The other is complete shit, with "stealth" and one hit melee kills.

bulldrome too hard for casuals

I understand that. However, the sword did not visually touch, so the hitbox must be gargantuan.

Think Dauntless will actually be any good?

>hero based
>f2p
>western
>open world
>MMO
none of these things are good

Ah. Didn't even know it was an mmo or hero based. rip.

It's not hero based and not open world. Plus still pretty early in development. I have my hopes up that it'll be fun.

How you manage to fuck up a setting and premise as interesting this is beyond me.

I have bad news for you user

I think it looks fun, maybe up the resolution so i can actually see shit

>$0.02

Slayer=weapon class from mh. Literally no difference. You can still craft and upgrade gear.

>I have my hopes up that it'll be fun.
>I think it looks fun
Ironic shilling is still shilling get out.

Another jelly PCfat thread. Why don't you go play the hot new PC exclusive that comes out this month....uhh....Euro Sewage Truck simulator?

Different user. That looks more like something set up for the demo, since the names of the characters are the weapon they're holding. I could very well be wrong, I suppose. I just figure having the demo have characters that already have a load out would be easier and save time.

Still very likely to be absolute crap, regardless.

Was western involvement in video games a mistake? I cannot name one top 100 action game that is western.

You might be right. On second watch it also looks like that may just be there for the alpha, kind of like the Bloodborne beta

I guess I'll try it out when it comes out, it's free anyway

Op is a fag on a smear campaign, cherry picking the most questionable scenes from a 5 hour play-through in a futile attempt to damage this game success, little does he know having the same 30 people watch his video over and over, or have the same few anons same-fagging saying it's unplayable doesn't actually do anything, and his wasting his time.

Expressing my opinion is not shilling. Fuck off.

New Vegas is pretty good

That's all I got though

No. Lords of the Fallen was dogshit, this will be dogshit as well. Western devs need to stick to making any type of games that are not action games, something like strategy or WRPGs.

I consider new Vegas to be a rpg before an action game
New Vegas is my favorite western made game.

>God of War
>Heavenly Sword
>DmC
>For Honor
How could you not see it coming?

I did.

Oh shit, I missed >action in your post

Yeah, you're right. There's never been a good western action game

>5 hour play-through
All of it looked shit and the same. You saw everything the game has in a couple hours. The streamer completed his dino index in like 3 hours.

The gameplay is trash. The game world has no interaction.

What the fuck is going on in that webm

Why are people so insistent on comparing the game to Monster Hunter. Even on the most basic level Horizon and Monster Hunter are completely different in terms of your approach and how you handle situations.

>Pre-made "Champs"/Slayers: No

What is it like being illiterate user?

Press Button To Awesome

I don't know. Didn't look like absolute shit to me, unlike all other trailers out so far.
Kinda like how they have more RPG elements now and freedom of movement. Heat-based weapons are back too, which is nice.

I dunno, guys. Doesn't look like absolute garbage. Granted, nothing jaw-dropping, but I think it looks kinda cool. Still extremely skeptical.

I recognize the riposte attacks, why whats wrong with it?

You're a fucking idiot, it took him 30+ hours to meet every robot type, why even lie about shit on the internet that can be checked?

The attack should have missed. The character teleports to land the strike.

it looks like post-modern trash DESU

>Why are people so insistent on comparing the game to Monster Hunter
People compared HZD to many games, yet it's so bad all those other games even seem better in comparison.

How could you be so invested in this game? It all looks really bad.

Some people actually roleplay in monster hunter. Casuals just need to be told "Congratulations! You are good." to believe it

So because the animation lock has a large breadth its bad?

that's not really whats happening, that particular attack just has a significant forward momentum

just watch any vid where that happens and you'll notice it's always the same exact swing

like dark souls with robots

>monter hunter
>no compromises

gave me a good chuckle

Devs early on mentioned MH as an inspiration so that where most of it comes from I think.
But thankfully they are nothing alike.

Ok, I don't agree but the melee still only has two moves total.

No but PCucks will pretend it's good because they don't get real Monster Hunter games

Do you guys think Brom is doing ok?

Am I alone in thinking intricate physics engines are ruining games?

Look how sluggish this shit seems, and mostly because every move has to mimic real life inertia with a second long buffer and cooldown. Games don't feel fluid anymore.

This game looks more boring every time I see something new about it.

>Devs early on mentioned MH as an inspiration
The inspiration part I can see, but all it ends up looking like is a sluggish and clunky looking combat system.

Well, yes, actually.

>intricate physics engines
That's not whats happening

You're the invested one going out of your way to cherry pick and circle jerk same fag shit post it over and over, you need a life bro

I know people are bitching about the magnetic melee. Just thought I'd mention another issue.

>cherry pick
You could "cherry pick" all day long with this game. It doesn't have a single decent gameplay mechanic. That's not even addressing the story bit we've seen.

What physics engine are you seeing though?

Reminder from Horizon-kun:
Horizon Zero Dawn has
>Better combat than MonHun, DMC, Ninja Gaiden, Bayonetta
>Better stealth mechanics than Splinter Cell
>Better crafting and customization than MonHun and Armored Core
>State-of-the-art AI that surpass everything else in the market

>get used to playing MGR
>every other game with swords looks a bit crap

I'm not talking about the engine per se, but the animations that are made intentionally sluggish as to mimic real life inertia. Every attack takes 1-2 seconds, the roll is slow, and so on.

also
>everything that isnt all of the above is just a tutorial regardless of far it is into the game

Play the Nier Automata demo, it feels similar

I take it that you haven't experienced the miracle that is DMC (capital M)'s Rebellion moveset

>mimic real life
Just one reason western games have become shit.

Imagine if you had gotten used to an actually good sword game.

MGR is medium-tier at best when it comes to sword beat-em-ups.

Comix Zone
Jedi Knight 2 and 3
Chivalry
M&B
For Honor
A bunch of shooters
Battletoads
Scott Pillgay
Killer Instinct
Double Dragon Neon
Fight Night games
Furi

If you want 3D hack n slash in the style of DMC then you have absolutely nothing. You have GoW, but the only decent one was GoW2.

>Putting For Honor in the same category as Comix Zone and Jedi Knight
Fucking heresy.

>Everytime you press a button, something awesome happens
I don't think you can even miss

It's like kingdom hearts combat but without the spectacle, speed or enemy count.

Darksiders 2 has pretty good action combat.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 1 & 2 aren't horrible either

reminds me of zoids

its ok when dark souls does it
