Poor Guerilla Games. Another critically acclaimed hit that will sell 15-20 million copies. They just can't catch a break.

If only people could enjoy other games without shitting on Horizon for some reason. Some day we might have the technology for that but not today.

I am happy for everyone.

GG, Bungie, FromSoft.

Now I wish the best for Polyphony Digital with GT7 next week.
Also people got to give up on Sony ever acquiring FromSoft from Kodakawa. Unless Sony actually buys Kodakawa outright for novel, manga, anime, etc.. reasons, it would be silly for them to sell off From.

Be at least happy that possibly Sony could get more first party titles with them in the future due to their currently good relationship.

I wish I could get more into the Soulsbourne games. They seem to be masterpieces. I've tried Demon's Souls (PS3) and Bloodbourne but neither of them ever clicked for me.

I see we bury HFW now... lol.

I'm sure history will repeat here and in the real world.
People will compare HFW to Elden Ring on here, and the Horizon franchise will reach 40m sold games easily in the real world.

I'm happy to see that FromSoftware could bring Soulsborne to open world with high success.
I'm still not sure how i feel about a Soulsborne with compass and a double jump horse, but i'm surely more interested now.

Y'all can put Horizon FW to rest if you want. I'm going to be playing this game right up to March Madness.

Sony/Shu dunking on FromSoft and OG Demon's will be their biggest L of all time. Miyazaki can now lean in his gold plated armchair with bourbon in hand and laugh.

They could "distract" Elden Ring's Metacritic by releasing Forbidden West three days sales report after launch.

hehe-hehehe.gif

I don't get the rush?

How is it a problem to enjoy playing a fantastic game (HZFW) with another one to enjoy once you're done (ER)?

What a terrible problem to have indeed ... :)

If you've got a PS5, you're eating. Ain't gotta really bemoan HFW's sales potential (or their somewhat jinxed release scheduling).
Especially since HFW on Steam will move weight regardless LOL

I don't remember a month in recent memory that had so many strong games in it. It's quite remarkable to see how many high quality games launch around the same time as each other. 2022 is going to be an amazing year.

I can't wait to play Horizon later today, it's just so good. This month is crazy, I will have to wait for Elden Ring on sale as I already have my next two months booked.

Me neither but FOMO doesn't impacted me at all.
I will play HFW taking my time and will play a patched and balanced ER in one month. I am not even sure that will happen because one Open World to an other isn't the best for me. So probably Kirby, Lost Legacy or Death Loop in between.

On a positive note, what a fantastic month for gaming, certainly the best since the pandemic began. I'm unsure how I'm going to handle both Horizon and Elden ring. But I think I'm going to finish Horizon first- I suspect that it's hard game to get back into if you take a break from it.

We should just be happy that it's such a brilliant time for gamers. Sifu, Forbidden West, The Witch Queen and Elden Ring all in a few weeks and all of them acclaimed, with GT7 and Ghostwire Tokyo on the way. Good stuff.

They usually announce sales numbers after a week right? Seems possible
Depends.

If it reach the targeted/satisfying milestone numbers, they will; see The Last of Us Part II & Ghost of Tsushima.

If it's not, see Days Gone or Death Stranding in 2019 (hint: there weren't any).

If it's in the middle, maybe like Miles Morales/Rift Apart/Returnal.

🤷‍♂️

We'll see this Friday or not.

To his defense, the game was a mess. Even Miyazaki himself didn't expect the game to become a social phenomenon.
However, even though they were in a bad shape back then, missing the chance to buy them (even though they were working on Bloodborne for them) is a big misstep.
The same can be said about Atlus too.

Holy moly that scores for elden ring. They are so high, it is already the 13th best reviewed game ever on meta critic! It must be truly magical. I really like the amount of good games releasing this February. Can't wait for that game though!

I have to balance 2 games at the same time :(. I was going to wait to get Elden Ring but not with this score.

While you are right on technical issues, the game was something special as far as gameplay goes, which was reflected in user and critic reception. Shu said after three hours with the game(to quote)
"This is crap. This is an unbelievably bad game."
Should have seen the potential 👹

Both Horizon and Elden Ring are great looking games, I imagine PS owners are going to be very happy for months on those two games alone! I'll certainly be getting both, it's just a question of when.

Shu got presented a game where you lose parts of your health bar when you die, lose your money when you die and every enemy respawns when you save the game.
I wonder how many people on here would have said that is the next big thing in gaming.

Afterall Demon's Souls was a thing, and is a thing.
The worst decision wasn't taken...

Horizon and releasing within a week of one of the greatest games of all time - name a more iconic duo.

If you're tired of hearing about Elden Ring - I'm sorry because yoully be hearing a lot more about it probably forever.
We are tired of hooligans, preachers, evangelists, salesman and obessional maniacs, but not of a game coming from a studio that Sony contributed to build the reputation with the three IPs they have in common lol
