@ApostateMage Are you kidding me? I can't remember much about the story of HZD because I hated it, but the ending had you saving the whole kingdom on your own. That's painfully contrived. And the quest design throughout was terrible. The Witcher 3 is by no means a perfect game, but it's leaps and bounds superior to Assassin's Creed Zero Dawn.
@UltimateOtaku91 Not really. Unlike most developers Bethesda are actually ambitious. They make big games with some exciting ideas that they can never fully realize or polish and they move on to the next thing.
It would be cool to see them release Starfield in a good state, but I prefer that Elder Scrolls 6 gets released before I die. Now that game should be industry defining.
@WallyWest Wrong. The quest and world design in both games is exactly the same. They are the same thing under the hood, but at least the Witcher has good lore written by a talented author. Horizon is about robot animals and dinosaurs which lazy and silly at the same time.
@QualityGeezer I played the Witcher 1 on my PC with a controller mod and the game worked perfectly. 2 is still playable. At times it looks even better than 3.
@CapGod Go back and play the older games. ER is an evolution of the formula. And that game isn't recycling every single game mechanic ever created like AC, FC, Horizon, Shadow Of War etc..
The fact that Elden Ring is number 1 brings a tear to my eye. The game is far from perfect, but at least it doesn't insult my intelligence like Assassin's Creed, Far Cry and Horizon.
@thebizniznizbiz The game was supposed to come out in 2021, but the pandemic delayed everything. This game was never meant to push any boundaries or be PS5 exclusive.
@GreatAuk This is something that Sony and Microsoft should communicate better to less tech savvy consumers: There will always be a limit. They can target 4k without dynamic upscaling/60hz and even 120hz for every exclusive, but the graphics will take a massive downgrade. Be happy that you at least have a choice.
@Col_McCafferty Wrong. Both games are cut from the same cloth. The UI, Quest design and everything else I mentioned before are identical. 0% originality. 100% laziness.
@Artois2 Because most people are content with the bare minimum. Just like you are free to be excited for Assassins Creed Ghost of Forbidden Mordor 15 I am free to say they are all lazy.
@Artois2 Do you blame me? Most people are still excited for Until Dawn and Assassin's Creed clones. That doesn't make them bad or stupid, but it simply means that they have low standards. They will consume everything and pay for whatever microtransaction is offered to them.
@Artois2 People with higher standards are doing everyone a favor by complaining about bad or mediocre studios. Just because you don't care about what you consume doesn't mean that you won't enjoy actually good games more.
@Richnj What part of 'The Quarry was weak' you failed to understand? Are you trying to piss me off? Are you trying to start an argument that will end up getting deleted?
Learn to read and google words you don't understand.
@jFug I disagree. The Quarry was weak, imo. We were able to overlook flaws and shortcuts back when they started making these games, but they haven't improved at all since 2015. Enough is Enough.
I am kinda bummed out that PC players still have to wait for months before getting to play these games. The day 1 boost in full price sales should compensate for the 3 people that will actually throw their PS5s in the bin or whatever.
@Blackjay Because no child can play through a Mass Effect game where you spend 15 hours talking to people about politics. Most people have no standards so big studios just write stuff for children.
@Blackjay Main characters joking around even though they are in danger just because they know that they are main character and nothing bad will happen is contrived. If you have standards this type of writing is unbearable.

Re: The Witcher 3 Livestream Set for This Week
@WallyWest They are only standard because studios like Ubisoft and Guerilla are lazy. CDPR moved on.
There are all sorts of different fictional universes with all sorts of magics and dragons, but robot dinosaurs is just stupid.
@Uncharted2007 I am right though. I am the only person on here that's saying the truth.
Re: Rumour: God of War Ragnarok Had Starfield's Old Release Date Before Being Moved at the Last Minute
Choosing GOW over Starfield day 1 is easy, because everyone knows that Bethesda games become great only after modders fix them.

Re: The Witcher 3 Livestream Set for This Week
@themuckman Fret not. Witcher 3 is still a millions times better than any of it's cheap copies like modern AC and Horizon.

@__jamiie Are you sure about that? We haven't seen any significant differences in performance. Maybe both platforms are equally weaker than PC?

Damn. So this is why Forspoken was pushed to 2023. If Sony are smart they will do the same. Even Activision should consider delaying COD.
