We all know the Wolfenstein II is going to be the shit, that mutha-fuckin' GOTY. I really don't know why y'all are deliberating any führer.

My 4 hours with Horizon have left me with the conclusion that it's a bad game that looks very pretty, making it another game from Guerrilla Games.

Horizon is very good, but 4 hours is more than enough time to know if a game is for you or not.

they should add some roll when coming out of a vehicle
I had absolutely no desire to continue. Just moving around was a chore after Zelda. It felt really clunky in a way that I could not get into at all.My 4 hours with Horizon have left me with the conclusion that it's a bad game that looks very pretty, making it another game from Guerrilla Games.

Could be that it came out at the wrong time because most videogames seem bad compared to Nier Automata and BotW.
Yeah, I've bounced off every Zelda game I've tried but this one clicked with me big time. It makes me want to go back and try some of the older ones again.
Do you work for IGN by any chance

Horizon is a game with alot of build up and mechanics. 4 hours is really nothing when it comes to games like that. That's like playing 4 hours of GTA V and never getting to see some of the cool stuff it does with the 3 characters during missions. I will say though that sometimes you just don't feel a game and that's fine but saying it's a bad game? I can't agree with that.
They're excellent games, but very different from BotW. I'd be interested to read your opinion but I doubt it'll change from before
On the other hand, if you don't want to go back to it you shouldn't. Probably about 80% of the games I play, I play for about 2-3 hours before I put it down. If it doesn't grab me then I'm not gonna force myself to play through it
Edit: For your added stuff, good and bad is subjective. I think Skyrim is a steaming pile of dogshit, other people would say I'm crazy

Which is totally fine, especially since we don't have all day to game and shit.
Well, when it comes to Bethesda developed games you pretty much know what you're getting in the long run. I will only be surprised when they jump to a brand new engine which is highly unlikely.
I think "didn't grab me" would be a little more accurate than "it's not a good game" and that's the point

I mean, if we're going to talk about good Guerilla games, then it'd be five minutes of "Killzone: Liberation was awesome"
yeah no that was a work
thanks

Of course not.
Yes it does.
I feel that if people didn't get sucked into the world and characters then it's not for them. The combat def gets better as you unlock more skills and weapons later.

We're not reviewing for a profession. If you feel early on a game isn't for you - why waste your own time on the slim chance you'll change you mind? I can only think of one game I did a complete 180 on after the opening hours - Binary Domain.
GTA is one of my favourite series - but I knew within two hours GTA4 was bad and stopped. If you don't like the movement, that ain't gonna change.
That's probably the difference, never been a fan of all that "in my opinion" stuff. If you don't like it, nothing wrong with calling it bad - your opinion is always implied. You're talking about a product, no need to be mindful of other people's feelings.
Yup. It's the only game they really care about atm.
Guerrilla has been all about games that look pretty sweet and control well, but then there's nothing else. Horizon at least broke that mold for them...and it was in an open world setting.
Well yeah, but it'll suffer the exact same fate as TNO did in 2014 during GotY deliberations.
Skyrim is the best walking simulator Bethesda has ever put out. FO4 is the worst.

FFXV is still great btw
I agree.

Mafia 3 is a fine game. It's a shame how much you have to repeat shit but the story missions and gunplay were very fun. Story is great as well, especially the entire framing of it.
FFXII is still great btw
Does it still play like an offline FFXI?
Yup, and if the mystery of what happened to the world doesn't even get them motivated to keep going then it's hard for me to tell people to keep playing.

That is true. I was ALL IN by the time that montage dropped. What a fascinating world Guerrilla Games made.

Completely agreed. It definitely grabbed me and I enjoyed it a lot but if you arent interested in the world/setting I wouldn't bother. That being said it grew on me (the combat wasnt quite clicking) after
getting out of the Nora area
Yeah I guess that's true
Fair
Hard disagree. I was ready to give up on the game during the tutorial, I felt so constricted and while I was kinda interested in the story and world I didn't care that much for the gameplay. I stuck with it and now I'm out in the world and it got a lot better. I'd say once you get the different caster weapons, if you don't like it then, it's not for you
lmao
But the walking and combat in Skyrim sucks ass. And around every corner is another snowy mountain or cave with an ice guy

As someone who loves a lot of 2 hour modern board games Ben sounds like he fell into a nightmare.
If someone brings up a Euro game and says "I haven't read the rules yet but wanna learn/play?" then just walk away. Just. Walk. Away.

Ben should bring back Giant Bomb Unplugged.
Yeah, that opening really sets up the game nicely and gets you excited to see what Aloy can do to prove herself to her tribe.
Finding new stuff on the map was one of the only things that I enjoyed in Skyrim.
Now I'm intrigued as to what game this is in reference to. It's almost mandatory in my group to have watched a YT video to get a good feel for the rules and how to play a board game before actually diving in.

The first like 2 hours of Horizon are great but when they first dump you in the open world proper and you see the all the Ubisoft- side quest shit there I almost gave up on it. It took a while after that for the game to grab me again, probably not until I left the snowy region and went into the desert.

That's fair. I loved GTA4 but it didn't age well(unless you mod the fuck out of it). I mainly remember the thing that made me enjoy it the most was the physics, It was the only thing that kept me playing. In contrast, The Ballad of Gay Tony is a way better game than GTA4 ever was.

This made me feel things. I don't know if I want to pay for just one video though.
But you do.
Horizon's music is really fantastic.
