Ultimate Videogame Topic 3: The Next Generation

[Espeonage]

I finally got myself a copy of Horizon in a Black Friday sale.

Good to see that there IS a game that is everything FarCry Primal should have been.

Having played a bit of it, it isn't GOTY worthy. There is nothing groundbreaking about it except maybe the subject matter.

All of the mechanics are exact replicas of things that exist in other current generation games.

Like it's almost an exact carbon copy of a far cry game.

[Espeonage]

There was no mechanical difference between far cry and horizon in terms of combat.

Both are effectively bow only games with a few other tricks and melee instant kills on small enemies.

I don't think I have ever seriously used a gun in far cry except when I was under time pressure.

Horizon is definitely harder though, and more varied.

It is definitely a better game, but not so much in terms of mechanics. Story tho.

PUBG doesn't exist yet.

You can brute force your way through if you play it like dark souls and are really good at dodging.

So for example, when I beat the first boss at the Sigma? cave I just wailed on it and took a hit twice. I used three arrows and the rest with spear. And I only used the arrows when I had a quick shot on the watcher spawns.

[Espeonage]

But like every singe enemy I have seen is easier to just wack once, crit, dodge, whack once and crit until it's dead.

It's just too easy to prone enemies with prone stick

Kinda want to get FarCry on release, but no idea if it will be worth it.
