Kevduit vs any game basically makes the "Be The Villain" thing to a WHOLE other level

[@darkdeath5550]

The game looks nice, but I'm kinda sick of the "It's an open world!" Okay, can I go this way? "No! You haven't learned how to jump or eat potatoes!" But I beat the game and know what to do, and beat the last game. "No!!! Potatoes First!!!!" Then proceed to hate life. Just use the breath of the wild model. Gimmie everything at once, let me upgrade the main tools later, and explore the world. Knowledge and cool items with a story are the key motivators to keeping me interested. At Least Middle Earth shadow of Mordor has a story reason for waiting to give you the ring, a future seeing ephemeral being who helps move the world towards the best ending, even if it means letting a main villain live.

[@Kevduit]

I agree. Elden Ring, BOTW, and Elder Scrolls showed me how much I appreciate quick intros to massive open world games, that then allow me to do exactly what I want. Shadow of War was a pretty slow intro as well BUT it wasn't a 3 hour tutorial, it was 3 hours of INTENSE world building. By the time I was actually able to explore the entire open world in Forbidden West, I kinda lost interest in the story cause I was just force fed it (and very slowly) for like 4 hours.

[@darkdeath5550]

@@Kevduit I think the BOTW formula is slowly becoming the new standard, because the time wasting and hand holding is becoming obsolete as gaming is becoming almost an integral part of our social circles. Which leads to people figuring out problems very fast and quickly rejecting games that fall behind or become formulaic in an obsolete way. Which is why something like Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor which is instances of open worlds that are connected can be so well regarded in terms of world, story and a sense of awe in seeing a lifelike world where npcs talk based off complex patterns and relatable things while having less cinematics than most other games of a similar genre, like BOTW and Skyrim. Thanks for the response and the video. If you ever run into a rut wondering what to play I have some modest recommendations. Nioh 1&2 Yakuza 0 Disgaea 4 Greedfall (it is basic but is good for a few laughs) Okami Mortal Shell Gujian 3 (because an intro Wu Shu games is always fun to witness) Hope it doesn't come across as rude to offer games.

The major issue I had with the game is the story’s pacing starts slowly and when you think there’s going to be a high moment, it falls flat. As a person who enjoyed ZD, I expected a better story with memorable characters. I felt most of the times the game had no soul in it, unlike the prequel where you actually cared for Rost and other characters because of the emotional connection. Though I still wouldn’t deny that FBW definitely improved stuff what the previous game had been missing, but still fell flat due to a lot of reasons.

[@exalted_space9224]

It was a letdown for me and turned me off for any future entries.

Major issue is having to load a save if you try to have some fun in tutorial. That would be the point I stop playing. What year is this? 1999?

Aloy was one of my biggest complaints about this game. She was likable enough in the first game but in this one, she's just a BITCH to everyone for no reason. And she NEVER stops talking. How stupid did the devs think their playerbase is?!

[@DemonicRobots]

I disagree. I think I absolutely was shocking with the revelations of the major story beats later on and I really liked Aloy working more with her crew. It felt like a story that was planned from the start instead of 'hey we made a good game, now we gotta make a sequel'. I didn't really care for Rost as much as some of the characters in H:FW. Also, you're totally right, this game perfected and fixed every flaw in H:ZD to create an awesome open world.

[@markusturunen7929]

My point of view of Horizon Forbidden west is that it's a very visually appealing and beautiful open-world game. It's a very good open-world game, but there's only one problem. I have played so many open-world games recently I would wish to have something more of an almost more linear but fine-tuned gameplay experience. That did not have so much "filler content to collect and craft constantly" getting a bit tired of it. Nothing wrong really with the game itself but rather the player got exhausted.
