@Neonix 100% agree. Haven't played the DLC yet (almost done with FF6 Pixel Remaster first) but had this pre-ordered for a while. I'll see how it feels but if its all in your face and front and center in Horizon 3, I'll also be sadly checking out of this amazing series prematurely. I won't support agenda pushing. This is the trending checkbox right now and not only does it go against my values, but it just straight up pulls you out of the narrative and ruins the immersion imho.
@somnambulance I'm in the exact same boat. Mainly FF16 and was kinda interested in SF6 but after the demo I was like 'maybe I'm good with just that'. Haha
@AtlanteanMan Best comments on the internet. I really appreciate your civil insights and watched with fascination as the same thing happened that always happens: people start screaming for inclusivity while rejecting all other ideas. The very thing you pointed out several times. Hypocrisy at its finest.
And as a traditional value Christian I can attest to your argument. I've missed SO many cool-looking AAA games because society no longer "includes" people with traditional standards. The irony is uncanny. Haha.
Having said that...I'll wait and see what Horizon 3 ends up offering but I'm likely exiting the series over this. You hit the nail right on the head. It broke the promise to the player set in Horizon 1 and forced a character onto me I dont want to follow. I hope all who dont mind enjoy the game but I dont need it in my life or in my house.
I'm sure the DLC is great (I bought it but haven't played it yet) but I'm praying to all that is holy that this review bombing incident makes them reconsider the direction they took. Hoping they shoehorned this stuff into the optional DLC to tick that mandatory box and be done with it. If Horizon 3 makes this stuff front and center, I'll be very sadly exiting the series. I respect everyone's opinion on the matter but personally am very disappointed.
Simply can't wait. Would have dived in yesterday but got hooked on FF6 Pixel Remaster. Haha. Can anyone shed light on the nature of Aloy and Seyka's relationship?
The killer app is Resident Evil 8. Those saying there is no killer app have not played that yet. Call of the Mountain was also amazing though.
I'm with everyone else commenting so far. The VR2 has been the most exciting gaming related thing since the Switch launched. The quality is insane and worth every penny. Got 7 VR2 games at launch and none of them disappointed. RE8, CotM, Kayak, Demeo, Moss 1, Moss 2 and No Man's Sky.
Now just give me a port of Rescue Mission and I can die happy.
Even though the backlog was 100% clear just in January, I'm already drowning in games. Almost done with Wild Arms 2 then I need to get Legend of Dragoon done before Horizon DLC and FF6 Pixel Remaster drop this month. Still have some VR2 games I didn't get to yet as well.
@itsfoz Right!? My backlog was all clear in January...but this year is the Apocalypse for my wallet. My list has grown to about 10 new games to play and they just keep coming. Haha
All this hype for Sackboy. I dont think it looks that interesting but I'll try it. I'm more curious about MYM but then again I'm a sucker for 'maker' games.
Hype level is at a 7. It looks awesome but I'm eager to see thier promised tour of RPG elements and still nervous about the M rated content being shoehorned in simply to force it to be more gritty and dark when instead it will just be awkward.
As a massive Tolkien fan I have to be interested and will likely get it if it reviews decently. I am all for more people exploring a Middle Earth not based on the Jackson films (even though I love those).
Been playing the Moss games, Call of the Mountain, and RE8 first and I've been saving NMS until the end...cannot WAIT to play it again on VR2. It was soooo ugly on VR1 and the controllers were beyond bad but the game was so awe-inspiring I couldn't stop playing. This is gonna be epic......
I wouldn't want this necessarily for Forbidden West or RE8, but playing Legend of Dragoon or Wild Arms 2 on my phone would be cool! Sadly...the DuelSense is not compatible with my "ancient" Samsung Galaxy S9 phone. Lol
Can I connect it with other controllers for PS5 play??
I was gifted the Quest 2 at my company's Christmas party when I had already pre-ordered VR2. So now I have a "home console" headset in the VR2 and a "portable" console in the Quest. I think of the Quest as the Nintendo DS of VR. Haha
Not being a troll but I honestly don't know why people love this art style. I personally think this series are two of the ugliest games I've ever seen (and Im a 90s RPG fanatic). Its dark and muddy and blurry and just doesn't look good at all imo. I tried the demos too and thought the storys were really shallow and boring too. I'm sure I'm the only one that thinks that...but does anyone else?

Re: Upcoming PS5, PS4 Games for May and June 2023
@nocdaes I know! Frankly I have money coming out my ears but time? Almost none. Ah, painful irony.

Re: Horizon Forbidden West's Burning Shores DLC Is Getting Review Bombed on PS5
@grapetrap Riiiiight. Just because an opinion is popular doesn't make it right. In our world and culture it's usually quite the contrary, actually.
Re: Mini Review: Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster (PS4) - One of the Greatest 2D RPGs of All Time
One of the best games of all time. Things like Burning Shores and Advance Wars took a back seat so I could play through this again first. Haha
Re: Horizon Forbidden West's Burning Shores DLC Is Getting Review Bombed on PS5
@zanlyons Very well said! This conversation is always one-sided. "Everyone can be heard" until you have an unpopular opinion then you're a bigot. Lol

@nookie_egg Life hack: buy a PS5.

Wooooow. Amazing. Cannot wait!
Re: Gallery: Is Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores the Best Looking Game Ever?
Can't wait. Got it predownloaded and ready to rock...after I finish a 12 hour workday...ugh.
Re: PSVR2 Sales May Actually Be Stronger Than Has Been Suggested
You mean the made-up gossip report based on nothing from a shady source was maybe not true after all?? GASP.
Re: Soapbox: Final Fantasy 16 Is the Most Excited I've Been for the Series in Almost 20 Years
Exactly the same sentiment from me only I started with 2 (4) on the SNES.
Re: Journey to LA in Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores Launch Trailer
Looks amazing. DLC ordered forever ago. Praying they don't shoehorn some kind of relationship with Aloy and the new character.
Re: Soapbox: Watch Another 20 Minutes of Final Fantasy 16? You Must Be Mad
As I'm still a bit skeptical of the game, I have no issue watching.
Re: State of Play Showcase Set for Thursday, Final Fantasy 16 the Focus

Re: Guerrilla Games Talks PSVR2 Tech, Designing Horizon Call of the Mountain
The killer app is Resident Evil 8. Those saying there is no killer app have not played that yet. Call of the Mountain was also amazing though.

Calculator game incoming.
Re: Soapbox: PSVR2 Already Feels Like It's on Course for Failure
Same old narrative. Remember when the 3DS was doomed? And even a time when Switch (NX) was doomed? Give it time. Its been out a month.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores Introduces the Waterwing in New Footage
GIVE ME THIS AT ONCE.

Playstation isn't perfect...but the sales they do are INSANE.
Re: Forspoken Prequel Story DLC Is Unleashed in May
Very excited for all 13 people that bought/play this game!
Re: Clouds Are One Reason Why Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores Is PS5 Only
@WolfyTn I 100% agree with you. Even as a Nintendo and Zelda fanboy...TotK just doesn't look exciting in any way. Give me Horizon all day.
Re: Clouds Are One Reason Why Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores Is PS5 Only
I dont care what reason they use...just DITCH last gen as fast as you can so we can move forward. Haha.
So excited for this though. Looks amazing! Horizon is one of the best things to happen to Playstation in recent memory imo.
Re: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for April 2023 Announced

Re: Resident Evil 4 Remake on PS4 Is Why Cross-Gen Needs to End
Cross-gen definitely needs to be a thing of thr past at this point. Especially now that 5's are pretty widely available.
Re: Final Fantasy 16 Will Look Stunning at 60fps on PS5

Re: Mini Review: No Man's Sky (PSVR2) - Explore an Infinite Universe on a Whole New Scale
Been playing the Moss games, Call of the Mountain, and RE8 first and I've been saving NMS until the end...cannot WAIT to play it again on VR2. It was soooo ugly on VR1 and the controllers were beyond bad but the game was so awe-inspiring I couldn't stop playing. This is gonna be epic......
Re: Surprise! Forspoken and Other Square Enix Games Didn't Meet Sales Expectations
SE would likely get better sales if they made games that were good like they used to. I dunno, I'm no doctor.
Re: This Android App Will Transform Your PS5, PS4 Remote Play Experience
I wouldn't want this necessarily for Forbidden West or RE8, but playing Legend of Dragoon or Wild Arms 2 on my phone would be cool! Sadly...the DuelSense is not compatible with my "ancient" Samsung Galaxy S9 phone. Lol
Can I connect it with other controllers for PS5 play??
Re: PSVR2 to Receive Renewed Competition from Meta Quest 3 This Year

Re: Final Fantasy 16 Features Massive Maps, But Ditches Optional Dungeons
Still very nervous about this game. Lots of things looking really good but I just have a weird feeling about it all. Hope I'm wrong.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Octopath Traveler 2?
Not being a troll but I honestly don't know why people love this art style. I personally think this series are two of the ugliest games I've ever seen (and Im a 90s RPG fanatic). Its dark and muddy and blurry and just doesn't look good at all imo.
I tried the demos too and thought the storys were really shallow and boring too.
I'm sure I'm the only one that thinks that...but does anyone else?
