Horizon Zero Dawn has sold well over 10 million copies worldwide (2 year anniversary update)

[klik]

If someone is wondering..

It had estimated budget of 45 million $

And made over 250 million $ ( average price of 25$ considering it was on sale so many times)

Great game, good job on developers. Cant wait for their next game

Old thread, but I'm happy to celebrate Horizon any day of the week. Still my favorite new IP this generation.

Well deserved. As much as the story was rubbish, as much as I really enjoyed the game.

I didn't care for the story myself. Or the characters, which were all this same note; super serious survivalist hipsters. There was no laughing or love or joy in the world. The open world was hemmed in by impassable mountains which made it feel like you were actually playing in large gutters of land, not an open world. Lots of obvious gates. The human conflict was very uninteresting, and the human takedowns and human camps felt like padding.

I'm not buying HZD2 unless I see some tone changes and a complete de-emphasis on human conflict. The game could benefit from multiplayer too and become a sort of western sci-fi Monster Huinter.

I was one of the people who gave up on it a few hours in. Wasn't grabbing me. I eventually went back and beat it and it ended up being one of my favorite games this generation. So happy I went back to it.

IMO the best PS4 game this gen. The (assumed) sequel will get me to buy a PS5.

Well deserved success.

I hope you don't buy it then.

I hope they implement lots of the mechanics from Death Stranding regarding world interaction, and movement.

Hope the wait isn't too long.

My favorite open world game this gen. Just a beautiful game all around and one of my favorite endings ever.

Yeah, I fell the same about this game, the graphics and art direction was really good though, but eveything about the story and characters felt like it hasn't any charisma, Aloy for me is a really overrated and robotic protagonist.

Only game this gen I've replayed entirely four times, best one for sure

There was no laughing or love or joy in the world.

And thank god for that, sick of this shit everywhere. Aloy was on a road that mattered to her first and foremost and it was all about understanding that mysterious past of both herself and the world she was in

Possibly the best story of this gen along with Original sin 2

 

[Van Bur3n]

Undeserved! This game was not good, I tell you. Not good!

Heed my words, vile ones.

 

[Motorcycle Dork]

That's amazing figures for a new IP, definately well deserved. HZD was memorable.

 

[Kyoufu]

I need the sequel so badly. Most anticipated game tbh.

Mine too. And second only to God of War on my current Game if the Generation so far list. Glad it's done so well and hope we get a sequel as a PS 5 launch/launch window title.

Over time I've appreciated this game more in my mind, despite not having played it since I completed it close to a year ago. I made a thread back then complaining about how my expectations weren't met and that a lot of things I looked forward to fell flat. Regardless, I still think it's a good game and I'm itching to replay it, but I know I'll encounter the same problems. I'm hoping the sequel improves.

 

[FlintSpace]

Yup. In line with how PS exclusives have been performing. Though it was bundled heavily.
