Horizon Zero Dawn has sold well over 10 million copies worldwide (2 year anniversary update)
- Thread starter ArmGunar
- Start date
That is true, but in a thread meant to celebrate a sales milestone it is quite normal to assume that a comment pointing out that it has been sold at a discount for most of last year implies that it only reached the milestone because of that, but like you said you already clarified that it wasn't your intention to downplay the success of Horizon, so maybe just edit your original post and put your clarification there to avoid further quoting.
I know you've already been banned, but where is the question in this?
You keep acting like everyone else is having trouble with understanding you, but it looks like you have trouble communicating effectively.
Anyway, good for Horizon. I never got around to the DLC, but maybe I should change that.
Edit: I don't think anyone would have had a problem with you asking about sales before and after price drops. If that was really what you wanted to know.
Combining splatoon 1 & 2 sales, SOT apparently selling 10 million and doubling down. Yup i agree with you so weird.
Guess they will announce sales numbers when the new Uncharted game is getting announced for the PS5, developed by their brandnew San Diego team ;)
Dude, you're the one spreading misinformation about Sea of Thieves and Splatoon in a topic which is about neither!
Lol SoT...
We never gonna get sales numbers for that, just some misleading euphemism like "number of players"
this game was so disappointing. I've forced myself to play like maybe 15hrs. It came out at same time as BOTW. So i played it for maybe 2 days...and then didn't touch it again for like 8 months. Because i was busy playing BOTW, and playing both at same time didn't seem feasible or necessary.
So maybe a year after a launch i really sat down and forced myself to play. Idk what it is, but the game just never does it. There are many things i like about the game. But actually playing it isn't one of them unfortunately. On paper this games amazing. In practice not so much
i feel bad and try to pick it back up, every now and then. And can't tolerate more than an hour. Then i put it down for months again

Congratulations! You've just discovered subjectivity. Not every game is going to resonate with everyone. Luckily, there are thousands of other games out there that may suit your tastes better.
This makes... literally no sense.
Not saying you are wrong but this is not really an Horizon problem, more than it is with every other open world game in existence (story driven ones I mean).
The Witcher 3, arguebly the most well received story driven open world game ever uses that in almost every single sidequest and that game is praised as the open world with the best sidequests in gaming.
Yeah that happened a couple of time in botw and is a flaw there, but I swear to god it happened at least five or six times on horizon trying to do the most basic of things exploring lmao. (And the text is a bit worse too, literally calling it "the play area")
Why do they do that at all? Have a cutscene with god striking you down with lightning and killing you if you've got to do that sort of thing. Or you could have it bounce you back and it play the sonic spring sound effect. anything would be better. The text is so immersion breaking.
It depends on what kind of games you like. A game is not for everybody. I played Horizon Zero Dawn and loved it. My GOTY 2017. Played Zelda BOTW and hated it. Super boring so I couldn't finish it. Even tho you can go to the main boss after a few minutes :P And I actually love Zelda. Link's Awakening is one of the best games of all time for me. It is what it is.
Congrats GG and Sony, one of my favs of the gen. Extra impressive for such a shift in game type too. Loved the sci-fi plus nature designs and art style too. Can't wait for the sequel.
LIke others have already said, was so good to see such a huge new single-player IP.

Ps3 era was just too full of Sony jank outside of ND. Killzone, Infamous, Resistance, MAG were just boring and the third parties offered better alternatives.
i feel like if Zelda didn't come out at same time. I would've liked Horizon. Like i know they're completely different games. But they also have many similarities.
Why can't BOTW fans keep away from entering Horizon threads just to tell how much the game sucks and how superior BOTW it is compared to it? Seriously. It is literally a thread to celebrate a big milestone to Horizon Zero Dawn and there are multiple people coming in to trash the game and compare it to BOTW.
It is not even something new. It is been like this since the pre-release of the game. What an insufferable fanbase...

This is exactly how I felt about BotW after playing Horizon. I just couldn't force myself to play Zelda.
Well someone else posted my thunder while typing, but yeah.. why can't BotW fans stay away. We get it, you like your game. Good. This is a different game and it's ok to like it too. Damn they even said it better than I can.
All of this reminds me that I need to get back to play the DLC. The main game was my first Platinum but I never returned to finish up the new content.

A few similarities like being open world, but that's it. Horizon is all about great combat versus the machines and a fantastic story.
Zelda is all about exploration. That's one of the reasons for the "you can't climb everything" thing.
Depends on what's more important to you / what you like more. For me, it's HZD's combat, monsters, world and story.
I remember hearing that even 10M would be an insane longshot, yet here we are already. o_o This possibly sold above the optimistic expectations of Sony, but it does put them in a great position for the PS5 because they have strong IP in the pipeline. Uncharted 4, Horizon, Spider-Man, (will) God of War (will) and TLOU 2 all selling 10M+ is an insane turn around for Sony and it's forcing MS to step up their first party game imo. It's also good news for Guerilla since they have more resources and I would love to see them evolve Killzone or create a new shooter IP.
And I loved them both. BotW for the way it rewards exploration. Horizon for the way it rewards the player with its world and lore.
I'm super happy for the studio. Soon, they will have an even bigger office/studio (soon around 450 employees). Up there with the big ones like Naughty Dog and Sony Santa Monica Studio :)
I am hoping the next one will receive an even bigger budget, so I am expecting a much bigger game in scope, cities included.
If I am not wrong, GG is now Sony's biggest studio, isnt it? Horizon 2 will be biiiiig!
I feel like Horizon emphasizes responsive controls over immersion anyway so it's not a big deal that this message pops up.

Again I like the game! Just felt it could have handled the exploration a lot better than it did. But being released right next to BOTW is going to do that.
Do find it funny it has better dungeons than BOTW though. (It isn't saying much and they're not the greatest but at least they have some atmosphere unlike the computer level shrines!)
