I never even answered to anyone in these threads. I'm not even a big fan of Horizon. It's a good game, but certainly nothing groundbreaking other than the pretty awesome combat for an Action-Adventure game with some RPG elements.
Cyberpunk 2077? Personally I do not think so , RDR2 or TLOU 2 might have a shot tho
Then I'm sorry too. I really though it should be clear why Horizon has more reader awards, but I will gladly say it then:I'm sorry. My first post in this thread came off as more warrior-y than I intended. Let's not get out the brass knuckles over which of these 5 excellent games is most excellent.
Too late to take it back now I guess tho, so...
Exactly , I was with CDPR since W1, so I am fine with whatever they do and if the shooting is bad or overall gameplay part is iffy as long as atmosphere and writing is there I am there too.
Nah nothing this gen will compare to TW3, it's just that much better than the competition.
Hmmmm, I do not think so. W3 is actually more flawed than the other GOTY winners.
Do not trigger me...TW3 is the game I was obsessed to trash back then. :D
Horizon still has pluck plucks that lead to boom booms.
Lol, I mean personally it is my favorite game out of all GOTY winners, I was just saying other games are more well rounded and has less questionable rough parts. And BB was good no doubt, but I prefer Nioh combat over BB
Witcher 3 was on 3 plattforms - for a more or less exclusive those BotW numbers are nuts.
It's a first party game from one of Sony's most established and experienced studios backed by a huge marketing campaign from said company, so it was always going to do well and get great reviews. I'm not sure why people still act like it was the first game from some plucky, young, inexperienced underdog studio or something.
and the same people who gave zelda awards , or TLOU, or Uncharted. It all the same people .
Killzone 2 and 3 did good tho critical reception and sales wise .It's not like guerilla games are some indie devs scraping for their projects to lift off . They are first party sony developers.
If you choose to ignore their other games then ok we'll agree to disagree.
When your point is to say that big marketing budgets, some former success and experience ensures critical success for their newest game, then you're definitely wrong.
Your point assumes a correlation between marketing and reviews, which by itself is questionable/dangerous enough. Bigger games have fallen under the media's hammer during these last months, some of them released by Sony no less. By the time we start seeing exceptions to that suggested pattern, it loses all its value.
