It's a very good game which contrarians dislike because the main character is a girl with dreadlocks

It's a solid 7/10 game. Never understood the hate other the hate or comparison to BotW. Not even the same kind of game.

People who talk shit on it probably haven't played it. It's a fun game with a story that manages to not be shit, which is somewhat difficult for a big open world game. It's also very pretty.

I enjoyed it

This.
90% of comments saying the game is shit is from people who haven't played it.
Comparing it to Far Cry instead of Witcher 3, saying it's SJW propaganda and complaining about melee lock on are dead giveaways that people have gotten all their experience of the game from videos and webms.

She doesn't even have dreadlocks. They are braids, normal straight hair and curls on the top.

Ubisoft towers and not too many enemy types are the only complaints I have. World and gameplay are great

Just another perfectly fine award winning game that I will never play.
>which is likely the 'problem' OP

Gameplay is shallow, world is non-interactive and full of contextual little animations for everything instead, skills basically result in "Do more damage with [X]" instead of adding interesting mechanics, its far too grounded in reality for a game with giant robot dinosaurs.

Really, it just looks pretty,and I guess some people liked the story. But as a game its about as bland and safe as it gets.

Give it about 8 hours and you will.

It's repetitive trash

This. I want to say I enjoyed it because at first I was really absorbed into it because the writing is pretty decent, but you quickly the realize that the decent writing is just a coverup for the samey loot grind gameplay.

>not too many enemy types

Literally twice as many as BOTW

This. Ignore the posts before this one.

There isn't a problem, is why. It's a good game, plain and simple

The beginning of the game up until they name you whatever title you are given is fucking trash. Once you are free to do whatever your red haired pussy wants you to do, the game becomes great.

The combat is far from bland, friend. It's hard and challenging. You need to know what you're doing or you WILL die. Ave you played the game?

Game was pretty but I wish it had more melee combat options.

That staff/spear just sucks.

Waiting to see what the DLC adds before I pick it up again.

>because the main character is ugly

FTFY

I thought the opening was the best part because at that point the mystery was still alluring and the robosaurs weren't explained to be something so boring. Also the world seemed bigger than it actually way at that point. I feel like the game started to slog when I got a Carja settlement.

It's fine. Not a full price game but fine

Yes, its bland, its the same poke-and-roll third-person shit we've had for 15 years now. It did not do anything interesting with the setting, world, weapons or enemies. It looks very nice, and that's because the developers spent the majority of their time making it look nice instead of creating interesting systems and mechanics. Again, I'm baffled as to how a game about fighting giant robot dinosaurs was this bland and uninspired, its far too rooted in reality and again does not have any interesting systems or mechanics.

Who's got the comparison videos? I'm lazy.

More like because she was hot in the concept art and then they decided to make her ugly to appeal to tumblr.

I think she's attractive, but it's more that she has a passable face with a 10/10 rocking body.

They're not wrong though. It borrows mechanics from Far Cry AND Wither 3. Bandit camps capture from FC and pathfinding from Witcher.

eg. Gianna Michaels
Although I think both of them are attractive and I honestly don't see the problem with Aloy, I suspect the anons pushing the ugly meme never had sex with a not traditionally attractive girl

>she has a passable face with a 10/10 rocking body.

You should look up Ana Bell Evans. She did one of those Public Agent videos and it was great, but she has a Gianna Micheals vibe to her and I think she is relatively unknown. Her face is like 7/10 but her body is just amazing and it fits her well.

>Aloy has a THICC rocking body!
(You)

Cheers user
I never said that, are you projecting?

She is thin and very physically fit. That goes a long way, especially in the bedroom since sex is 90% effort.

>slowing time isnt a mechanic
>adding the critical hit isnt a mechanic
>death from above strikes arent a mechanic
and so on.
Why do people who havent played the game feel such an urge to make fools of themselves?

It's not thrash, but for a game with robot dinosaurs it doesn't live up to the hype. 6.5/10

Combat is alright, fighting against big monsters is fun until you get to the point you're just too strong and know all the weakspots on how to kill them. Fighting against humans is dogshit though, whoever thought that making humans tank more hitstuns than the dinosaurs as a good idea needs to be hanged from their balls.

Story was shit. Like horrendous shit. Most sidequests were "oh no, I'm a weak/backstabbing/lying male and that strong female is helping me/doign something wrong against me, please help me!" Only few sidequests were actually fun. The game is also short as fuck, unless you do the padding "collect these items" that give you absolutely nothing good.

Only interesting bit in the game was about mankind fighting against the robots before the fall of mankind. I want a prequel about that. Also I'm still ultra mad about what they did to the power armor.

This

What game is this even?

>physically speaking Aloy is pretty much Gianna Michaels
>w-who said she was THICC?

She's built for sex.

>Bullet time
>Literally "Do more damage with [X]"
Yeah, exactly what I said, no interesting systems of mechanics.

Not him but you clearly cannot read.

>Never understood the hate

where do you think you are?

>the city of your reading comprehension

isn't this some sjw wetdream?

DUDE SJWS LMAO

A few posts ago somebody mentioned constant comparison between this and Zelda, and here it is, already

so it's shit then

Yeah you're right now go away

4/10 basically a reskinned assassins creed game

It's okay, but it's very repetitive. It really doesn't hold a candle to BotW.

it kinda is

Horizon Zero Triggered SJWs

go back playing your trash identity politics game you stupid nigger

>horizon shill on the right

zelda fanboys shting up every thread about the game

The setting and atmosphere don't appeal to me at all, a big part of what makes open world games appealing. Robot dinosaurs are inherently retarded.

...

wow you fell for the meme hard

>triggered

>Robot dinosaurs are inherently retarded

As far as it being a game there is no problem. My problem with it is how bland and unfun it is.
Maybe I was expecting too much though.

horizon zero dawn

eh not really. The tribe your character is from worships the all mother, but there hasn't been any in your face feminist/lefty stuff. Like the robots themselves were created to fix man made climate change.

The gameplay is fun and the environments are fantastic. I just enjoy running around looking at the scenery.

It came out at the same time as Nier: Automata which resulted in a waifu war from which this board will never recover.
Also it had a black woman in it, which as you know is forbidden in video games.
The game's good.

Wait 2 hours until you realized you saw everything the game has to offer.
It's shit.

the best part is that the matriarchal tribe leaders are xenophobic elitist cunts who do everything wrong and the main character calls them out for being huge shitstains repeatedly

>Waifu war
Nobody thinks the man in OP's image is a waifu.

I hate this meme because I actually never heard of elf on the shelf

game is repetitive as fuck, lots of collectathon filler. story was predictable as fuck after you first enter the mountain and try to open "the door". no reason to care about other characters since there is no exposition on them other than "help me do XYZ"

...

>Also it had a black woman in it, which as you know is forbidden in video games.
Nigress what?

Try to understand that for a lot of the gaming audience settings like a dirty irradiated russia or lands ruled by uncucked racist dark elves who heavily practice ancestor worship and also turn their ancestors into giant walls is more attractive than pretty prehistoric land with dinosaur robots that look like they more belong at art displays. That example of morrowind was obviously poor for my argument but I don't play many open world games and I hope you still see what I'm trying to say.

I like HZD but there was no war between aloy and 2B. 2B waifuism obliterated everything else on the board for weeks. The war was, and still is, HZD vs BotW for some fucking reason. I gues buying one makes it legally impossible to have a neutral opinion or better of the other.

There was nothing wrong with it, it's a fun game. Neckbeards lost their mind at the fact that there's a codex in the game that talks about global warming and that it was SJW bullshit being crammed down their throats because the main character was a grill

The only real complaints I've seen are relating it to BOTW, including how many consider fapping to Link more straight than fapping to Aloy.

Note that it's both fun to play as the dark elf and the imperial, and all the other races who also have really good lore.

Is there going to be a GOTY edition? I've wanted the game for a while now but I don't want to get memed by DLC later

pls respond

It's a fun game - repetitive, but fun.

It does what any other open world game will give you - grind, explore, "okay - meh" side missions.

>More like because she was hot in the concept art and then they decided to make her ugly to appeal to tumblr.

They scanned an IRL person's face instead of basing it on concept art. Blame the person they chose to scan.

That shit is taught as standard in schools now, conflicting information or not, acting outraged or surprised that it's in the game is in itself stupid. Nigger, your playing games entirely tailored by people who push a certain ideology that connects to all aspects of life. Of course you're going to see some shit. Those people complaining need a new hobby.

There's one piece of cheap DLC coming and it took over half a year. I seriously doubt they would pump out more DLC after it. They might released a goty edition next year with the dlc included, but I frankly think they're pretty focused on the sequel.

she doesn't have a really striking face, so I guess that contextualizes the final product.

They werent complaining about global warming, its a specific data file that mentions the climate change caused a lot of refugees to move into the western world, with a middle eastern named PhD attached to it.

in other words it's 100% Sup Forums tier screeching about muslims invading europe.

Climate change denial or whatever you want to call that stance was around way before Sup Forums. People been getting their panties in bunch over that for decades.

yeah but that's not what the point here is. It's specifically because it was a muslim woman in the game that said those things that had shitposters frothing at the mouth.

>the world is based on a matriarchal society
>every interaction with males depict than as evil or uncapable in some way
>every woman is an example of human being and are always good at activities that men are known for being good at, i.e. smithing, weapon crafting, etc
>some women act extremely benevolent towards males, in a way that you would believe they are not capable of taking care of themselves or are into so much wrong that they just need guidance
>the rest act passive aggressive towards males, belittling them and shout how incapable they are at simple activities
>the main antagonist, of course, is a white male

If you are a man and are proud of being one, enjoying this game is literally spitting on your principles and pride. Your grandpa is probably ashamed of you in heaven.

>the world is based on a matriarchal society
right off the bat you are retarded

Seconding this.

I'd fuck her. Staring her right in the eyes. Missionary. Standing position (she's tiny). Cowgirl. It would be rad.

I don't see what your problem is. If a 20 something year old female isn't actively hideous/fat she's a fine lay. Don't know why you retards are pretending your standards are so high, seeing that most of you work in the IT or service industry and the only chicks you encounter in real life weigh more than your car.

>I know, I'll make it blatantly obvious I haven't played the game in a thread full of people who have, how could I possibly fail
here's a (You), you can stop now

...

It's literally just an orange and brown Ubisoft game. It's not bad but it's nothing special. Borrowed it off a friend, got the platinum and gave it back. It was reasonably entertaining but I wouldn't recommend getting it for more than £15

To me, the game just seemed way to "brown". Just look at that fucking filter! If it didn't look like sand is always covering the camera at all times, i might have actually liked it.

I see Aloy as a challenge, more than anything. Here is a woman who, in every single aspect, is absolutely revolting - yet I can't help but wonder what would be like, to plunge balls-deep into her repeatedly.

That's right. Balls-deep. With no protection.

I won't lie, I'm extraordinarily-hard while typing this. I want to grab this... thing... and that's what Aloy is, let's not delude ourselves, a "thing"... by the hips and ram mercilessly in and out of her quivering, malformed cunt with the force of a gladiatorial chariot, while she makes stupid faces and contorts orgasmically, unable to control her bodily reactions even if she wanted to.

I would erupt violently inside that corrupt and corrupting womb as though the entire fate of humanity depended on my seed penetrating the foul walls of one of her ovaries, the electrical fusion from this coupling creating the Antichrist, as our combined, guttural, Chewbacca-like roars shattered glass and walls alike around us, the house toppling down while we lay there in a filthy, disgusting mess.

Yeah. I reckon Aloy does it for me.

show me those screenshots you took

She has puffy cheeks you could play with. You could make her cry by slapping her around a little. She's make a great lay.

She doesn't need to be Capcom tier perfection or some weird DOA doll. She'd get the ole' squirty-doo same as the rest.

I didn't take screenshots. It was technically impressive but the art style was unappealing.

i know

Yeah, this. The worst part about the spite it receives is that it gives it way too much credit. It's a decent game, entertaining enough, but it was thoroughly inoffensive to the point where complaining about anything in it in a political capacity is simply giving it far, far too much credit as a provocative and controversial work.
