I know I've already seen WAAAAAAAAAAY too much media that going on a blackout now seems pointless, but damnit I'm on a blackout now.

Got the game pre-ordered and booked 5 days off work to play this :)

I hope this game is actually hard. I like the idea of running out of ammo and needing to make every shot count. LoU does this well, as does Resident Evil.

And since they have so many traps and all that, it should be possible to make the game feel like you need to rely on improvisation

Absolutely love how much I've grown on this game since announcement and the work they've put into the environment.

It looks gorgeous, especially with how many characters it displays at times.

From what I've heard from someone playing is that it's apparently far more of a survival game than he/she expected going in.

Gonna wait and see on this one as unfortunately its hitting during a real phase of open world fatigue for me, but I really hope it does well - Bend Studio deserves it, they have been making great games for so many years but have always been sort of under the radar.

This video sold me for sure, just pushed me over the line. Let's see if there is a decent deal around

Very good trailer. Looks like it's hard to stop those Breakers without heavy ammo. This game should give a proper amount of challenge to the player.
The marketing is really agressive

This is going to do very well
I think so too. Even my friend who is not so into Horizon Zero Dawn is looking forward to this one. Clearly it's the setting and bike stuff that gets people excited about the game.

Very good video. Still waiting for reviews, but each time I see it it's looking better and better.

Wow, that was fantastic. The bike looks really good to handle too. Love the ripper faction too, the fact that they won't attack the infected means you can bait a swarm to any mass camp of theirs and they won't bother with getting destroyed by it.

This game looks better and better the more I see of it. I can't afford it at launch, but I'll definitely try picking it up after a sale or two.

Can't watch the video but are hordes really just big open world style, one & done outposts rather than naturally occurring groups out in the wild, and every other encounter with the zombies is just a handful at most?

Glad I'll have a long weekend to enjoy this in between crying over Endgame and The Battle of Winterfell.

This is going to be a hard game to resist. Looks fantastic and I'm a sucker for the infected type.

In my veins! Been listening to the soundtrack to get hype, in Bend I trust! Can't wait to be stranded on the mountainside, trying to hide and scavenge from a huge horde. Also might just go digital instead of waiting for a disc.

There are 40 hordes in the game, 3 of which you must encounter during the main story and they range between 50 in one group up to 500. They roam around the map. Once they're cleared, they're gone from the game for good. Same with freaker nests that are dotted around the map.

No the game has 40 hordes in the game 3 are mission based the rest is just in the world. The hordes moved as well from 3 different places,their own,feeding ground and a place with water.

You will still one across large groups of enemies that are not hordes.

This is the best the game has looked in trailers. I was already going to buy most likely but that video sealed the deal.

I hope there are other infected enemy types that they are not showing. I hope they didn't spoil all the enemy types already

Yep more types devs confirmed they want those to be a surprise though.

Those birds though.

You can imagine how it will go when you're dealing with a horde or Breaker(s) and you got crows bothering you.

Looking pretty good. I'm still waiting for reviews before I buy but I'm optimistic that it'll turn out well. The bike looks very satisfying to ride.

Oh that's pretty cool. I'd seen that 40 horde figure before but thought it meant they'd be sitting in specific places on the map like that body disposal site they were showing in the last round of previews. Thanks.
