>"If I had read Neogaf at the time the game probably wouldn't exist. I spent some time six months ago going through two-and-a-half years of comments on Neogaf, and I was literally crying for two days. Partly because I just don't understand the cruelty, but more importantly because I could see those years over those two days, and I began to understand that maybe people can love something so much that they can hate it."
This is just the latest hate crime within the gaming community. Developers who think NeoGAF is a safe hub need to think again.
OP must have cried for days too, to keep reposting this shit.
NO ONE CARES YOU CUNT

Why didnt you use sage you fucking moron?
Nolan Bailey
If Street Fighter V and No Man's Sky were 'real' exclusives, you'd see Sony fans defending them the same way they're doing with Knack and Horizon.
Cameron Kelly
Literal. Children.
Aaron Parker
Well i have no idea what this is about or what OP is talking about. The game looked neat and i'll look into it. A huge shrug.
Jason Flores
This. I mean look at zelda botw, at best a 5/10 generic as fuck open world game with physics gimmicks, unanimously declared GOTY by every nintendo fanboy from here to Hokkaido. Fact is exclusives get a free pass and multiplats don't, and when you switch from one to the other you lose your free pass.

What the fuck is RiME?
And if can't handle Neogaf throwing a habitual tantrum, what are you doing near the internet at all? You're obviously too sensitive and care too much about other people's feelings.
On one hand, that's adorable in a non-condescending way, but on the other you really shouldn't be on internet forums.

No one defended Knack. People like Horizon because it's good. It couldn't be more simple. SFV being exclusive would mean dick. Same with NMS.
Apply Occam's razor more often when it comes to this stuff and you'll look less looney.
Nathaniel Hernandez
They conveniently shit on the game after it was announced it was no longer a Sony exclusive.

It's pretty good. I'm playing through Persona 5 and I miss having gameplay, which I enjoyed a lot in Horizon It doesn't have that much content (I mean sure it's a 40 hr game), and what it does it does well. I'm just gonna go ahead and say you didn't play it. inb4 >why should I? It's generic SJW open world garb- If you exclusively take Sup Forums as gospel then you can only enjoy being a weeb with a Nintendo bias, while pirating everything else on PC.
Bentley Jones
As everybody knows a game stops being good when it stops being exclusive. I mean just look at breath of the wild, it was released, everyone cries GOTY, it came to pc, everyone forgets about it and pretends it wasn't that good to begin with. Fact is "exclusives" are a bullshit lie that tricks people into buying a console, most of them are trash and even the fanboys that push that shit know it, but they want more people to buy their trash console so they don't feel like an idiot for buying it for one game.
Jaxon Stewart
Saying you like knack is literally a meme senpai
Jaxson Collins
So what does Horizon do mechanically that sets it apart from the average futuristic or near-future open world game made in the past 7 years?
Nicholas Green
>I'm just gonna go ahead and say you didn't play it. Ofcourse you're going to say that because it's a bad exclusive and that's the only way you can defend an exclusive with nothing going for it.

Robert Gonzalez
It's hard to think about it because Sup Forums is full of ridiculous shitposting, but outside of here there's people actually autistically mad about X game being announced for the "wrong" platform
There were actually mad people when Bayo 2 was announced for Wii U, saying Platinum betrayed them or that Nintendo was holding the game hostage
When the PS Ireland Twitter account said the N-Sane Crash remaster is coming on PS4 and Pro "first" the comments were full of people getting mad at the thought that the game could go to a non-PS platform, "it wouldn't feel right", "It's Sony's mascot" and all that shit
Brody Rivera
>You're obviously too sensitive and care too much about other people's feelings. that's literally neogaf. The thing is that NintendoGAF tries the cynical card and people actually fall for it.

>Months of praise immediately flipping into absolute hatred. that's how leftist mentality works. When Trump was elected Neogaf literally went Al-Qaeda mode now that Trump is bombing Assad they are even saying "He is not that bad..", "well maybe he is just the lesser evil"...

Start with a less awful title maybe fucking hell.
Brandon Wilson
You don't understand how desperate NeoGaf is.
Jonathan Nguyen
What a fucking manchild. Why do devs give a fuck about the shithole that is neogaf?
Hunter Davis
I like it actually.
Brayden Scott
Isn't it weird how incredibly difficult it becomes to defend botw knowing that I've played it? Probably because it's not that good of a game to begin with, but then compounding the fact it's effectively no longer an exclusive, I bet you never even bothered to think up a single thing that game does right, you've never had to right? You've always had the "u never pleyed it!" excuse.
Dominic Phillips
>neogaf actually got upset that other people got to play a game

Again what it does it does right.
I don't care if something is exclusive, but in Horizon's case it made the game better from a technological standpoint. Should be easy to figure out why
Nah you're just projecting. Game has like 2 whites
Blake Hernandez
>what does Horizon do mechanically that sets it apart from the average futuristic or near-future open world game made in the past 7 years you can play as a tranny. not sure if that relates to your point but its something
Oliver Moore
>but in Horizon's case it made the game better from a technological standpoint. Should be easy to figure out why Well it's easy to figure out why because it's a sony published game. I don't know what the hell that has to do with technology considering the ps4 is an underpowered piece of shit and horizon would run better on pc or scorpio.

I know of at least 3 other people in real life who are dissatisfied with Zelda. One's GOTYAY is Okami, the others barely get halfway through other Zeldas.
I don't blame them really. Zelda always feels like a chore to get through and I think my nostalgia is the only reason I keep giving it a shot.
Well that's a revelation for me. Thanks for the therapy Sup Forums
Christopher Bell
Been here 10 years. Why would anyone choose to come here during gamer gate and then stick around? Sup Forums's always been retarded, but it's noticeably worse nowadays. Maybe I'm choosing the wrong threads

No problem Sup Forums Just remember there ARE passable zelda games, just not after the n64 era.
Nathaniel Reed

Nathaniel Campbell
>fun enemies that aren't bullet sponges How is that different from any other modern/futuristic open world game made in the past 7 years? >art direction, aesthetics, multiple unique assets, a real effort to not have a copy+paste That has nothing to do with mechanics, and doesn't the game feature copy pasted patented stealth grass? >side quests that actually feel like quests and not "loot 10 Boar Hearts" But that's true for most open world games made in the past 7 years. There are no quests like that in Just Cause 3 or Far Cry 4 or even Watch_Dogs 2. >surprisingly good story, especially last half >likeable mc I don't think you understand what the term "mechanically" means.
From what I've seen it doesn't seem to do anything different from most other open world games, and doesn't do them particularly better. In fact, I'd argue that the stealth in the game (as well as the human AI) are substantially worse than most open world games featuring these mechanics.

The point being that Horizon's potential was nurtured extensively thanks to exclusivity. It's one rare case where it worked out in the games favor.
Also Guerilla Games and Killzone was never incredible but was always Sony exclusive. After all the years of squeezing Sony architecture since PS2 they put out Horizon. It's a very specific trajectory that led to the game being so polished visually.
I just wanted to play mechaMonster Hunter-lite bows onry and got a nice package and story as a bonus. It did a good job of pulling you to its world. Not really sure how Sup Forums sees it as Farcry meets Tomb Raider unless they're memeing.
Horizon is my Most Misunderstood Game of the Year. Or M-MUGOTY for short.
Fuck
Asher Clark
>Not really sure how Sup Forums sees it as Farcry meets Tomb Raider unless they're memeing. They've probably seen the gameplay and mechanics and came to that very logical conclusion.
Ian Myers
I don't understand what that has to do with exclusivity or technology, the game could have easily been ported to pc and xbone but then nobody would hype it and everyone would have forgotten about it because it wouldn't have been an exclusive.
Nolan Harris
Well what would you suggest?
