Horizon Zero Dawn Spoiler-free Impressions (for real this time)

Can anyone who had seen or done any of the Cauldrons give an idea of how large/long they are? Id also be interested if platforming is more interesting/challenging and a brief description of what puzzle mechanics involve.
 
Not to say that Horizon isn't going to be great, buying it day 1 personally, but GAF's previous record of keeping hype in check in early impressions threads isn't good. If you read the early impressions thread of The Order 1886 you would think the game cleaned the table that year GOTY wise.

I swear, somebody always makes this exact same post in every early impressions thread without fail, right down to the specific mention of The Order.

Cool, I can sleep now knowing you will wait to buy it.



lol, troll exposed.

How am I a troll for waiting to buy a video game to
1) wait for reviews to confirm that it's good
2) for it to drop in price, because theres been several games coming out recently
3) to be somewhat skeptical because the last game this team made was not very good

2 minutes ago you were telling me Uncharted 4 was still $60...

?? I was not talking about you bro, but the 4chan poster, look who quoted. UC4 was full price for a long time, people were complaining about it. Horizon is not dropping quickly.
 
Only two things that worry me are GG's recent track record (nothing new obviously, seems to be a common enough thought) and what seems like a lack of improvised vertical traversal, if you know what I mean. If GG have pulled it together though, looks like it could be a hell of a game

Pushed me over the edge to buy a 4K TV, so if it underwhelms me I'll regard it as the worst game I've ever played :p

He's not refering to you though.

So hyped for this game, but being super careful so I don't see spoilers.

I asked this question before but didn't get an answer. hopefully someone can help

This is the 1st game i digitally pre ordered off PSN. I've done it alot on XB1. on XB1 since I'm in PST time zone I can start playing the game at 9PM the day before release (because it's midnight EST) It also automatically downloads. How does it work for PSN?
Dunno if you've received an answer at this point, but on PSN preloads typically start two days prior to the release date. So if Horizon comes out on the 28th, it should download to your HDD on the 26th. The time at which preloaded games become playable can vary from game to game, but in my experience the usual time is 12:00 am EST on the day of the release.

Hope that helps.

Sorry. I'm bad at the internet :)

Thst said, UC4 went on sale for $39.99 within 90 days of release. Look at an Amazon price tracker and see for yourself.

Almost all games do nowadays, unless they are published by Nintendo.
 
Is there gameplay footage floating around of the
city or cities
?

I've seen a screenshot here or there but would like to see how it looks in motion.

I don't think anyone has reached to that point(gaffers with the game) , they are still in the starting area.
