40 pounds is a hot deal for a game now?Welcome to Brexit Britain.

Yep, definitely ' sony fanboy'

Zelda is overrated. Please dont make it out like its a fact. That Nintendo nostalgia goggles.

Lol seems to be changing into Mass Effect.

Love this game though. Glad they pulled it off so well. Finished it but enjoy messing about. Found lots of unmarked areas. Like one with two Rock biters and several other robots near each other.

I really love this game first hour or two I felt quite board until you get in to the main part of the game. Trust me it's well worth sticking with it fully love no this now 20 plus hours in looking forward to smashing this up while I'm off for 2 weeks end of next week

This game uses witcher senses more than Geralt.

Great game world same old same old everywhere else.

looking forward to getting this once I'm done with Zelda. about time sony finally got a new ip worth giving a dam about. Finally they have a highly praised game. Microsoft has been crushing them with first party titles and to all those saying Microsoft haven't had a first party in ages halo wars 2 literally just released.... here's to raising a glass to Sony and fingers crossed they keep the bangers coming! Lord knows I want to play my ps4 instead of it being a doorstop.

Life's about disappointment... perhaps he's a bit dyslexic and just wants you to buy him the ex arsenal keeper?

why the **** is everyone **** talking about **** Zelda on a **** horizon thread?? ffs

He just said GOW!! Now I have to go out and buy all three of them to not disappoint him in case its the wrong one!! :confused:

Games that focus on gameplay and multiplayer. Games like Black ops 3, Titanfall 2 and Overwatch. I don't have time wasting on games that focus on crappy storylines and annoying fetchquests, collectibles and escort missions. I live a busy lifestyle so need an instant fix and I honestly don't get how people have time for single player games unless they are unemployed and on the dole.

I want to know what game of this gen you place as better than Horizon so we can give some context to your comments.

Like I say, it's not my kind of game, I like dumb ass games like gears of war, the while idea of crafting leaves me cold but it would be good to know what you like.

What do you want to know? The game is basically a Far Cry game. I remember watching an interview on YouTube where an GG employee even admitted Far Cry was a big influence to the game.

You're gonna have to name a few so we can put this in context... I don't think I'd enjoy this game but it sure looks like it ticks a few boxes for some people.

Well your right. I haven't played it because I don't want to. Just watching the videos of the gameplay bores me to tears. It just looks like a Far Cry clone with better graphics made for social justice warriors and I'd rather play games that are fun to play.

You must be great at gaming. With trial and error, getting killed and redoing quests, I dont see how its beaten in just 20 hours.(unless the 2nd time round playing)

Although I admit to doing some side quests and messing around with crocodiles etc

​you're jajay1234 just saying. :wink:

Playing this on hard and about 36 hours in. Great game so far really enjoying it more than the witcher that for some reason i just couldn't get into.

Yep, definitely ' sony fanboy'

​yeah yeah yeah

jayjayuk1234 post history

etc etc etc.....proof is in the pudding Sony fanboy. Literally just been through your history, it's laughable.

You've recommended such classics as Drive club, assassin's creed and the unchartered collection. lmao

also, paid reviews is always a fanboy argument, it's utterly pathetic. it's all conjecture, where is the evidence of that Sony fanboy? get a life.

Critics? oh dear...... most of them are paid for positive reviews.

You can always tell when someone is struggling to hold a conversation when the term 'Fan Boy' is mentioned, it was just a matter of time. (and did you really just use the word 'dude' ........ have we teleported back 15 years??)

I'm a Sony Fanboy? yet I have an Xbox One S, a switch, and have both the Collectors edition of Zelda and the standard version. :smile:

​yes, seasoned critics that studied hard for their careers in the industry don't have a clue....but a two bit Sony fanboy on HUKD is the last word in quality gaming :smile::smile::smile:

.thanks for pointing out my errors dude. it's all so clear to me now. everything's rigged by Nintendo fanboys.

wow thanks for opening my eyes.

Gears of War, God of war, or ganon or wario?

Sorry, but these are all opinions, and because I don't share those opinions i don't understand gaming?

You can go anywhere in Zelda, so can the creatures apparently as they just vanish into rocks in front of your eyes. :smile:

Genius puzzles, ha... using magnets pausing time, all been done before. Nothing new here
Graphically it's 10 years out of date, it's almost cell shaded
Combat is monotonous, cooking is dull

What ground breaking stuff is this iteration of Zelda bringing? ummmm. nothing

Anyway, not getting into a Zelda debate in a Horizon thread

You clearly feel you need to justify forking out 330 quid for a Zelda game and an underpowered console. :smile::smile::smile:

Hopefully, we don't get this Zelda crap in EVERY ps4 thread!

​a statement like that means you don't understand gaming imo.......it's nothing to do with nostalgia. I'm not a fan of Skyward Sword, Twilight Princess, Wind Waker. They are all cut and paste Zelda's with zero innovation. BOTW is full of creativity, charming characters, wonderful music when needed, genius puzzles, brilliant interesting story, enjoyable crafting, challenging combat and has a sense of fairytale wonder to it all. it's exactly how an open world game should be, and where Skyrim and Witcher failed because they take the whole thing so ridiculously seriously. also, you can literally go ANYWHERE vertically or horizontally in Zelda, something no other open world game has achieved properly. graphically it looks like a beautiful water colour painting come to life. breath of the wild is an absolutely monumental achievement, and will be the benchmark for years to come.

horizon is a very very good game, looks stunning, but it's not even close to a masterpiece. the gameplay is generic, it's not breaking any new ground, it's all a bit meh. tbh the best PS4 game I've played this year is Nioh.

these types of gaming conversations can be had anywhere, why not, people may be deciding which to buy.

The issue is that Zelda carries with it a huge fan base and nostalgia from the 80's, and Horizon is brand new. If people are comparing it now, then this already speaks volumes about this game.

However, other than being open world, both games are completely different.

You have you opinion about Zelda, and others have theirs. Why you all have to post it in this thread though remains a mystery.

Why not go and make a Zelda thread, I personally feel BOTW is the worst one so far, for various reasons i won't go into here, but it's a debate for another thread.

​lets see which is being talked about​ in 5 years. In my opinion true gamers understand games, and suggesting that Horizon comes ANYWHERE near the quality of BOTW is absolute nonsense.

That is very true.I am a fan of Zelda games myself (not a fan of Switch though) and frankly the majority of the praise Breath if the Wild gets is nostalgia rooted.
there is no doubt it's a great game,but terms like best game ever made!! is just silly and dumb.

I'd like to know what these nostalgia driven scores and reviews would be,if the title wasn't Zelda and if it wasn't released on a Nintendo console.

Horizon on the other hand is a top notch,masterpiece game and many will rightfully argue it's better than Breath if the Wild in every way.

Hot. Not Zzzzzzzelda

False dichotomy.

Thank you for your loyal support. Your marketing payment has been deposited into your PayPal account.

Regards,

Mr Sony

I didn't play it on easy mode.

I played it on normal, and I only played the main quest/story, doing so you will experience the full mechanics of the game. You can say, oh but there's 1853 side quests, there may be, but for the most part they are monotonous and mundane - go here, kill this, receive reward. Played, completed and sold, on normal.

Thanks now hes asking for GOW :confused:

Both sides of this debate have valid point.

Let's define linear:
linear
ˈlɪnɪə/
adjective
1.
arranged in or extending along a straight or nearly straight line.
"linear movement"
2.
progressing from one stage to another in a single series of steps; sequential.

While in a literal sense then as in #1 an open world cannot be linear, going by the second definition a game could be both open world and linear ie progressing sequentially

Why are you bothering to respond...? Who cares what he thinks as long as you like/enjoy it...

Your obviously a troll.

First you say its a linear game, then you about turn and say its a 'big, empty, open world game'.

Anything else troll like to say, maybe have a dig at my spelling/punctuation?

100% you haven't played it. Why come here and try put people off a game you've only seen trailers for. Xbox owner? Mum won't let you have a compooter?

Sorted...

http://www.metacritic.com/game/wii/horizon

Started playing this over the weekend ... it's just incredible

I'm 40 hours and only 35% atm

Wii

Find out what console he has and the decision is made.

My son asked me for a Horizon game, should I buy him this or Forza Horizon thanks

cold. not Zelda.

One of the best games of this Generation

Or maybe don't like this sort of game... crafting and levelling up is enough to put me off.

Have not voted either want btw.

What are you disagreeing with, Horizon or Zelda? Both are great.

People who vote cold on this are either Xbox fanboys or are cheap skates. Game development costs a whole lot of £££ and takes years and years of work.

I'll wait till it's £15 thanks

Good price for a great game. Play this first though before Zelda, I jumped off a cliff with Aloy expecting to be able to pull out a glider and sail safely down.......needless to say this wasn't the case :/. I then remembered there was no glider.

Was thinking the exact same thing when I saw the post, kept asking myself what am I missing here? :disappointed:

Definitely looking to add Horizon to my collection once I have a tad bit more money. Got Zelda and Nier over the last few days, and it's not as if I'll be playing either of those any time soon...

But yeah... Horizon is definitely on the radar. Along with Little Nightmares (Day One) and Prey (slightly further down the line).

Sony is really killing it this generation. Not only in terms of third party content, but also with regards to their first party offerings. And in my honest opinion, if you have a PS4 or XBox One, you really don't even need to look further afield. Especially when there is so much other stuff to be getting on with - and that's before one even entertains the notion of having a (Switch) "second console".

You can buy bundle 10 times and sell all games to Cex but it won't change the Cex selling price. And not everyone buying bundles to get bothered to flog it on Cex or eBay....
Hope this helps.

It's weird that people are calling this one of the best games ever made.

I'm having fun but it really is just a Ubisoft-esque open world game except there's an interesting story and the combat and monster variety has just enough depth to keep it from being boring.

A whole lot of people bought the Argos and Tesco deals that include this game multiple times and are selling their extra games. Here in London there are a whole lot of people selling it for £35

Hell I was trying to sell my extra ones for £35 and I didn't even get anyone contacting me about it. Rather than go lower I just sold them to Cex for £32 each

If you think you're being screwed then check out the prices on the versions for the 1000 series Vita. Those are insane.

Yeah I know I don't have to believe you because I have seen the differences PS4 pro can offer. Not sure what else you would expect from the pro? It's a mid-gen upgrade not a totally new console.

Got mine for £38 from Smyths with a preorder code but this is best price at the moment. Great game. Well worth the money and looks amazing in 4K.

Normal price ??
Do some research, it's going atleast £42/44 everywhere else. It's hot for a reason...

Because it's one of the best games made period and also it's actually a complete game no dlc. So you ain't buying a game 50% complete and buying the rest of the 50% in dlc costs

Oh I know I'm getting screwed but, sigh, what can you do eh?

Hadn't purchased a console game for years... lol normal prices are hot deals now

"Drink bleach you fat miserable c**t" was one of the comments on his review haha.

No never.

Cheaper on EBay

Easily the PS4's best exclusive right now. Someone needs to jump on the movie rights ASAP. Amazing story, engaging gameplay and visually stunning.

Just to let you all know that Jim Sterling gave Zelda BotW a 7. So it's official then, Horizon is better than Zelda.

You can troll me later... :stuck_out_tongue:

One of the best games I've ever played, heat!

im still playing skyrim!, refuse to buy anything else until i have shouted all the quests down! and relieved lydia of her sworn burdens!

it looks a good game but.......i didnt get on with witcher 3 which everyone loved, so this might be similar?.
Zelda looks tempting, but cant justify buying a console for one game with no news on anything else decent.If its as good as ocarina of time was, then fantastic.

Not to forget Mass Effect Andromeda next week!
I'm tempted to pick this up, but Zelda is taking up all of my time recently and I'm not sure if i want to move onto another huge open world game next. Will probably just stick with ME:A and Persona for the time being and then pick up this during the quiet summer months.

That's a bit of a rip off tbh, those things usually cost £15-20 in Japan and probably less in the likes of HK and Korea.

https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/aw/d/B01ERA94BY

Sadly it's all academic for me because my Vita is the original model.

15 hours and 22% through myself, still boggling that anyone could rush through a game so quick and really just ruin it for themselves.

Feels like an expert opinion (not)

​ive played 20 hours and about 15 % through. its a great game (usually a pc gamer)

​well thats fine, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and everyone has different types of games they like. However my point is the game is the opposite of linear, therefore it's obvious he unfortunately doesn't understand the meaning. Also I have just about every system (and I mean every system as I am also into retro gaming), and although I enjoy gaming I need to fit it round the fact I also find the time to run not one but two companies/businesses, find time to go out with the wife, socialise with friends, enjoy numberous hobbies ...... so he must be right - no life! :wink:

Sounds like you either need a trip to either Spec Savers, or Currys to upgrade your TV

Heat for a ridiculously awesome game.

Ordered, thanks.

Jesus have you seen horizon on pro on a true 10bit HDR panel? 4k tv. It's stunning mate and is a lot better than 1080p on regular PS4 even tho it still looks impressive on that.. 2160p checkerboard rendering isn't that different from native 4k mate very minimal differences even digital foundry said they couldn't tell the difference until you've seen it mate you don't really have an opinion on it.

You do not have to believe me. Again, none of the consoles will let you play games in true 4k for at least next couple of years.ps4 is GPU upgrade only, the picture will be a bit smoother, more crisp and detailed but do not expect revolution, it's evolution only.

I'm about 60% and it's honestly insane how good this game is.

lol.

Just started playing this. Boring at the beginning(First 30 minutes-an hour) Picks up and enjoying it now!

I love this game, taking it really slowly just admiring every moment

I find this difficult to believe, I recently purchased a ps4 pro and done a wee experiment switching hdmis (ps4 and ps4 pro) with battlefield 1 and TLOUS and thought the pro was a great upgrade, looks much more crisp and seems smoother somehow.

So a game that was actually developed with the pro in mind I would think would be incredible on that system.

​Sense to the senseless perhaps. Your assumption is that people play more when they have more than one console. It's about having a choice of game you want to play with your limited time rather than being restricted to one consoles lineup. Two people only have 5 hours a week to play games, one can only choose games released on one console, the other can buy/play any game be it Forza, Horizon or Zelda.

20 hrs? seriously, I thought this was a big open world game. Played Zelda for 20 hrs and barely even scratched the surface

He's a troll don't worry. Which makes the no life comment even more amusing :smirk:

Same boat as me...... about 30 hours in. Incredible game and true decent sequel to OOT. Addictive and a pleasure to play. Great year of gaming.

​I can't decide whether you are just being sarcastic or not. Based on your comment I'm guessing you either:
a) don't understand the meaning of 'linear',
b) haven't played the game,
or
c) have a dry sense of humour and are of course being sarcastic!

A big empty open world game with literally nothing to do. Yay....

Zelda is overrated. Please dont make it out like its a fact. That Nintendo nostalgia goggles.

Linear?? In what way? You do know what linear is don't you? COD is linear, open world by nature is not. You can tackle the game any way you want really.

It's a good game, and thats about all. Definitely worth this price though.


Now..Zelda is one of the best games ever made. Horizon is not. But this is a good price.

It makes plenty of sense. Most people barely have enough time for one system nevermind two or more. Do people like that even have a life? I dont understand why a person would buy all the systems available.

Its a linear game with zero replay value and boring Far Cry type gameplay. It will drop within a few weeks. Count on it.

God only knows probably is, like staring me in my face.
It's kinda new to me this playststion stuff :smile:

Isn't that info shown when you save/load the game?

How do you find out how long you've played the game for.
Dying to know.
I'm Sure I've had more than my monies worth.
I went sleep last night dreaming of the Dam thing :smile:

​I totally agree. The best games coming out are exclusives for both PS4 and XBone. And that's why I'm going to extend my console collection to Switch when it drop down in price a little. Well, just to play Zelda to be fair, but some upcoming titles looks hell good as well. Then I may keep it, leave it for kids or sell for little loss.

​Why not get a PS4 too? You can easily pick one up under £150. One man's meat is another man's poison, Forza Horizon 3 would be better than this and last of us combined for some people. This has good reviews on metacritic but Zelda has perfect scores from most places (97 metacritic) and will more than likely win goty this year. Point being a PS4 or Xbox owner would miss out on this year's best game (maybe even recent years), hence just sticking "loyally" to one console doesn't make sense.

Got Horizon on hold and waiting for a price drop as Ive splashed out a Switch, 50 hrs in Zelda and ive still got 4 parts of the map to uncover lol.....easy gonna make this a 200-300hr game....plus ive not even started the main campaign lol

40 pounds is a hot deal for a game now?Welcome to Brexit Britain.

Do I buy this or Zelda?

I don't know how people get any enjoyment out of a game playing on easy mode...
You must prefer story over gameplay :neutral_face:

Don't forget 2% quidco. Not much, but better than nothing :smiley: Hot price, thanks OP!

it looks almost the same on normal ps4 and fullhd tv, no console copes with 4k gaming really, a few options will be turned on (i.e.hdr), 4k in cinematic, already rendered scenes and that's it i believe.


Great game.

Don't suppose this will ever come out on the xbox?

PS4 gets this and last of us, we get f****** forza and halo. Great.

YES PLEASE. YES PLEASE. YES PLEASE. YES PLEASE. YES PLEASE. YES PLEASE. YES PLEASE. YES PLEASE.YES PLEASE. YES PLEASE. YES PLEASE. YES PLEASE. YES PLEASE. YES PLEASE. YES PLEASE. YES PLEASE.

You'd be better of putting it through Flubit. Got it for £37 with them.

Finally completed my backlog yesterday so now can start this beauty (got the game at launch just because I wanted that Amazon steelbook and played just an hour before deciding to complete backlog before continuing), checking the trophy list it looks like this is an easy platinum (currently the platinum completion percentage is at 2.1% which is a high percentage 2 weeks since release)

Just finished the game today , great storey , loads to do , took me around 45 hours , solid game , flogged it today on ebay for 36.99 delivered , not bad used the £1 for any item offer on ebay for sellers fees , couple of quid to ship it recorded , bought it using a sainsbury £18.00 off voucher , quids in all the way round and 45 hours of fun , you just cannot beat HotUKdeals , ooooh and necter points too :smiley:

Just coming towards the end of Zelda, don't want it to end! May buy this now and save the rest of Zelda just to play it portably :P

No worries.

Cheers mate :smiley:

Oh yeah, and it's for the new slim models, not the OLED ones, don't know if that's an issue for you.

here you go: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JPN-NEW-HORI-Remote-Play-Assist-Attachment-Grip-for-PlayStation-Vita-PCH-2000-/282273705845?hash=item41b8d2ef75:g:Ts4AAOSwj85YPaLN


Not cheap, and if anyone else can find it cheaper I'm happy for them to do so, I look at it as a small price to pay if it improves my remote playing - not just on Horizon but on all the other games.

Awesome :smiley: mind sharing a link of where you got this?

Yep, I looked into that specific aspect of it because I'd heard the button layout was terrible (you'd think they'd have worked on it more as this is such a flagship game) meant to play superbly with the Hori attachment.

just got this the other day and loving it!
Good price, I got about £42 from amazon

Yeah second account

Have you got that set up with a secondary psn account or another way?

I must be a slow gamer, 44 hours in and only 59% completion

but then I have spent hours taking in-game pictures, the game is simply beautiful.

Glad I didn't pick up either a Switch or Wii u in order to play Zelda (may get one later in the year). If you already have a Ps4 and like open world - just buy it.

I'd watched a couple of hours of random gameplay before buying. I'm being surprised by how much better it is to actually play. I'm really enjoying the story and Aloy as a character. The previous time I was enjoying an open world game this much (not counting Skyrim Remastered or my embarrassing soft-spot for WatchDogs 2) - it was The Witcher 3.

I always use the dualshock with the vita

Amazing game, the combat is exceptional, cant think of any action game that has combat on par with this.
Graphics are also stunning, it does take elements from other games but makes them better, And it deffo brings alot of its own elements to the table, i can imagine other games in the future taking influence

I'm well into my Zelda on the Switch, that being said I've just ordered a Hori Grip Assist for my Vita to remote play this when I've finished Link's latest. Heat added.

Saw it in selfridges Oxford street for 34.99 if that helps anyone

It's a good game and I got 20 hrs out of it, a completionist may get 30/35 if you do everything.

Reason to buy PS4 Pro?

The launch ps4 does sound like a hairdryer . I am selling mine to vex because I bought a new slim from the Argos offer.
The game is good , combat is great and I like the story but the characters are all a bit serious so far ,side quests are also good . But I am not a massive fan of open world games (don't like shadow of Mordor or skyrim and thought the worst part of the witcher was the combat) and neither this nor Zelda are changing my mind much

Different types of Open World games really, Zelda isn't for everyone I agree.

Will probably be the first ps4 game i pick up latter this year due to limited gaming time and Zelda(incredible game). Guerrilla deserve a lot of credit for releasing such a well reviewed new IP, Sony is smashing 1st party games right now, Microsoft needs to gets it act together.

One of the best games ever made.

Zelda on hold till I'm done with this, great game

I've got switch, still playing Horizon. Zelda bored me

Fantastic game

all I can say is just buy it best game on any machine

Best game ever!

Considering it's got good reviews everywhere I don't think it will come down to £30/35 mark too soon.

Super hot (not the game) :P

The game is fantastic, but I have not got far with it due to Zelda coming out 2 days later :disappointed:

If you've not got a Wii U or Switch then you should jump on this deal as it's a great open world action game :smile:

Heat
