Have you ever played State of Decay, Tinykin, or Vampire Survivors? Those game are great and they're actually fun to play. State of Decay has one the greatest gameplay loops of all time. that game has had a dedicated player base for like 6 years. Trust me it has great gameplay or it would not still be getting regular updates.

Well, we shall see when we beat it.

Horizon is a much better game. There's nothing that God of War does better. That's my opinion.

Colin Moriarty

Good.

Colin Moriarty

Yeah, it's totally fine. I'm not crazy about it.

Colin Moriarty

It's not clicking for me as anything more than good, but it's fine. =)

I think Sony suffers from a lack of variety, regardless of the top tier quality of what they have. They can have both.

Colin Moriarty

Mmm.

It seems the assessment of GOW when CMC are not far into the game is premature. It’s hard to have an impression of a game when your 1/4 of the way through. Some games continue to get better others drag. My opinion has changed on games massively throughout

I prefer Horizon to God of war but the idea that anyone can find one boring but not the other makes zero sense. Even less sense than finding either of them boring because they're both masterpieces. Horizon has literal tens of hours of just back and forth conversations with NPCs (and i listened to them all and enjoyed them but they are more boring than anything in god of war), but yet God of war is boring? Lmfao okay... Still think Horizon is GOTY but the idea of hating God of war but loving Horizon just is someone being a contrarian for no reason again.

I was not expecting this thumbnail and I am very pleased

Mr.Colin i absolutely love GOW 1-3, but I completely agree with you on ragnarok being boring asf. I quit gow(2018) like the third time I had to row that damn boat and upgrade armor. The series went from gameplay king to putting it in the background even though mainline games were all success and only failed at the weaker spinoff games. I think the team is trying to complete with naughty dog instead of being its own thing and in ragnarok there are so many pauses in the cutscenes between dialogue that I rolled my eyes. Also early kratos was fun compared to other main characters. Angry and wants to kick ass and sometimes you need that. Now kratos is a boring parent who needs therapy. I'm glad I didn't purchase this game. #notmytempo lol

Yeah I don’t if games like BugSnax, State of Decay, Tinykin, and Vampire Survivors are really leading the way for great gameplay. Respectfully disagree.

I'm so thankful that Colin is finding GOW:R boring, same for me, I got the plat for GOW 2018 but this one I have to force myself to play for some reason. I also agree that Horizon FW is significantly better, my game of the year so far (I got the plat for Elden Ring too, still think Horizon is better)

I wonder if Colin is coming around to my feeling with AAA gaming but specifically PS first party games that I've felt for a long time now. My gripe with Playstation has been that they have changed the narrative from great gameplay, mechanics and addictive gameplay loops being what made games great to high fidelity and polish making games great. I simply have just never clicked with the switch the industry has told me to accept. For years I've enjoyed my time with games like Vampire Survivors, Pschonaughts 2, Bugsnax, Bug Fables, State of Decay 2 and Tinykin over the Assassins Creeds, God of Wars and Call of Dutys. Not only are they doing things that aren't just rinse and repeat but they're just fucking video games. I've been saying it for years that AAA games and specifically Sonys first party has become less and less interesting. They just do not meet my gameplay standards (I exclude Insomniac and Housemarque from that statement). I'll watch HBO for my cinematic entertainment.

Before even watching, from the title, I can just SENSE the mountains that are going to be made from molehills in this one.

The Great Santini

I felt the opposite; Forbidden West was much-needed for me.

Colin Moriarty

You're gonna be fine, dude! Embrace the opportunity.

Colin Moriarty

I have a lot to say about the exposition, too. But I do like Mimir.

Colin Moriarty

My girlfriend and I broke up today after about a year of dating and the advice about the relationships and moving on to hopefully find someone that's better for you really helped. Thanks guys

After playing Elden Ring, and absolutely loving that game, I found it very difficult to get in to Horizon Forbidden West. I loved the first game Zero Dawn, but this on I just didn’t find interesting.I still haven’t finished it, I’m only halfway through as well. To me it’s just okay, lot of parts as well where have to do heaps of talking and listening to people talk, and not finding it very interesting, in fact sometimes puts me to sleep. Plus it had graphics issues for me on my brand new LG OLED C1 TV, so that put me off it also. God of War Ragnarok, I’ve only played a few hours, but it looks absolutely amazing on my TV, shitloads better than Horizon I think. I’m enjoying the combat more. Much more looking forward to playing it than I have been with Horizon. Still to get through a lot of it, but enjoying and liking it much more than Horizon.

Cameron Sanderson

I prefer GoW to Horizon personally. I'm not surprised you have a bitter taste of GoW due to puzzles. I have the same thing about pointless puzzles but I love the GoW story (from the 2018 game and this one). One thing GoW does better is the companion interactions during downtime. Mimir is constantly telling stories of the old days. In Horizon its silent until you run into someone. So even during traversal, GoW is telling you stories and lore.
