Horizon Zero Dawn has sold well over 10 million copies worldwide (2 year anniversary update)
- Thread starter ArmGunar

Very nice. I really couldn't get into the game, but maybe I should try again. Certainly well produced, I just hate a lot of small details like the camera bobble and how it constantly shifts between left-side and right-side and melee combat was garbage.
Gotcha. So it's everyone else who can't read properly, and not the possibility that your posts could be interpreted as concern trolling.
I actually really liked riding mounts, but that is definitely something I would love to see expanded in the sequel. Riding a Fireclaw or a Thunderjaw or even flying on a Stormbird would be so fucking cool! I would also like to see a few new robots that more closely resemble dinos too. Give me an ankylosaur, triceratops and spinosaurus!
How are you still talking about SoT selling over 10 million even though you read sales threads is beyond me.
How so? For context, this is someone I get along with. And no, I don't look her when walking by.
I called it projection. Specifically the "you must be a Nintendo fan". Once clarified that it wasn't, then it became about reading inability.
Congratulations to Sony and Guerrilla Games. Horizon Zero Dawn was an excellent 9.5/10 game for me, my 2017 game of the year and is my third best game of the generation. Can't wait for the sequel on PlayStation 5!!!
The quests that I disliked the most were "highlight the tracks" and follow the trail until you get to the next event.
As Triggerhappytel said, even if it wasn't your intention your original post came off as downplaying the milestone by saying it was on sale for most of last year which implies that it only reached that milestone because of heavy discounts, just like the poster you qouted was implying.
You getting quoted a dozen times for it after explaining it wasn't your intention to downplay the milestone was unfortunate but that is just how it is, some will read the first page and reply to the first post they disagree with. Only way to prevent further misunderstanding is to edit your original post and maybe put your clarification there.
One of the few games nowadays I enjoyed enough to 100%. Well almost; didn't bother with the trials in the DLC. Flawed in some areas, but still a terrific experience. Looking forward to the sequel even though it's probably half a decade out.
I mean you're the guy who doesn't get the concepts of could, will and can't.
So it makes sense you can't get that.

I know what I'm talking about. I do that stuff for a living. What are your references?

Oh wow, that is really cheap for a big open world game. Holland must be a cheaper country to live & work in than I thought!
This game is called Horizon Zero Dawn, which sounds kinda dumb but relates to a plot element. I would like the sequel to be called Horizon 2: Subtitle Here, but I suspect it may just end up being called Horizon Subtitle Here.
Could you please go away, learn about what you're discussing and then come back? Nothing you have said is accurate.
Wow, fantastic costume. It reminds me that both my older kids like Horizon, my daughter because of Aloy (as well as the gameplay), and my son because it has robot fucking monsters in it! It's also a good excuse to teach my son that women can be heroes too.
Both I think, Horizon: Zero Dawn makes a lot of sense for the first game and the expansion though, so wouldn't be surprised if it's Horizon: [something else] for the sequel.
Thanks for the reasonable response. The problem with that is, the game was on sale for most of last year. It could imply whatever, but that's still a true statement regardless. And it's since been clarified that most of it's sales were before then, so I got my answer.
As long as Sony is putting out games of this quality, no amount of Microsoft pro-consumer features will make much of a dent.
Remember when people said that Sony canceled a project because it was a Destiny Clone? lamoIt all started with this image.
Over 10 million in 2 years is big for a new IP, especially when it's single-player only. Congrats to Guerrilla Games. Can't wait for the sequel.
Yeah but your assumptions are wrong, kiddo
Yes, I definitely agree with that. Detective Vision of any kind can piss off into the sea. If they're going to keep it for the sequel they should expand on it so it's not just following breadcrumbs, but putting clues together to solve mini-mysteries in a similar way to Tacoma or
EDIT - not Edith Finch, I mean Ethan Carter!

Awesome. I loved HZD. Going to wait another year so I can do another replay of it. Want to try to forget as much as I can before going back for that 3rd replay.
so cute! but it just reminded me how pissed off i got when early in the game kids throw stones at aloy.
I like this game where we make stuff up about Sea of Thieves, can I play?
SEA OF THIEVES IS THE HIGHEST SELLING GAME OF ALL TIME!
That would be great! It would be even better if there were multiple ways to complete quests depending on your play style throughout the game like a traditional RPG.
Turned out to have one of my favorite stories in a game ever. Combine that with excellent gameplay and graphics and it's no wonder it got my GOTY in 2017.
User Banned (1 Day): Trolling and thread derailment over a series of posts
I mean you were fanboy trolling the whole time. But this isn't even funny.
Yep. Super cute :)
Make sense when you learn how the parents act. They think they are something special because they live in a bigger village and Rost being an outcast. Kids act like their parents. And it made sense why Aloy wasn't a huge fan of them, even at the end of the game.
This is hilarious, your posts read as if it's a given the game will sell more than that let alone a chance to do that, as I've said for someone spending time in sales threads you have some weird biased looks at things.
You make zero sense, best selling exclusive new IP can only reference one game otherwise it's a franchise. It's pretty simple compare the first game in a series and see what have sold the most. Not rocket science. And please give us those Sea of Thieves numbers they sound very high if you are to be believed.
Knack could have sold 100 million units by now, sony just never told us.
killzone 2 MP was great. We had the feeling that each class mattered and the maps made a good use of them. I would love a new KZ with the same MP
I got the feeling that now you are just playing the game "Everyone is dumb except me"
Just give me a remaster of KZ2 MP, Guerrilla. I need Warzone in my life.
Says the guy who said maybe Microsoft will update in a month that Sea of Thieves has sold more copies than Horizon Zero Dawn.
Okay but once you release a sequel the sequel is no longer a new IP it's part of a continuing franchise.
And early exposure to strong female characters is so important, so fundamental. I grew up reading a series of teenage mystery books that had a female main character and it had an immense impact on me.
I really didn't care for Aloy's arc of self-discovery.
But the combat, sci-fi meta story and visuals are next level!!!
Can't wait to see where they go next. If the sequel gets announced along with the PS5, I'm throwing money at them.

Nice. Despite my many issues with the game like the world design being so restrictive that a text pops up telling you you're leaving the play area that I hope are addressed in a sequel to be more like breath of the wild, I had a lot of fun with it and the robot dinosaur combat is a great foundation to work on.
Guys, I think that by the end of the human civilization, Horizon will sell 500 million units. That's a lot of time until then and I think they can achieve that. Maybe.
Single player game. No microtransactions. Sold 10M. In this current climate, a win for H:ZD is a win for us all.
I think starting from last gen Sony showed they were committed to quality exclusives. To me PS5s much like PS4s biggest appeal will be beyond services and BC, it will be teams like GG making games only for it.
