I'm not going to create a template for a rumour, but if this turns out to be true I'll happily remake it and do it properly. However;

A Russian games journalist apparently has leaked the fact that HZD is coming to PC in February 2020 as the developers intend to hype up the upcoming sequel. I really truly hope this is true, I *adore* HZD on the PS4 but lamented the 30fps gameplay, being able to play this at 60fps on my new PC would be amazing - it's such a great game with an engrossing story and phenomenally good looking visuals ^_^

Yep I played through this, it was great. Never touched the DLC so I'd do it again


The DLC was fantastic too, I really enjoyed it when I played the "Complete Edition". I've ran through the game 3 times now and I'll happily do it again on PC with increased res/framerate. They can keep the visuals identical and I'd still be blissfully happy.

I find this game extremely overrated. The story and characters are so bland and unappealing, like written to fit the checklist of a hidden agenda. The gameplay is alright, mostly due to enemy variety and how you have to deal with each one differently.But it was not enough to carry the game for me, especially since the side content reeks of Ubisoft's formula.

You're extremely overrated! The game is not, the story is awesome, especially if you take the time to find and read the lore through the abandoned underground facilities.

Some of those lore pieces you find were truly harrowing and the entire story/setting really hit home with me. I especially loved the "Apocashitstorm Tour" logs you find Smile

On one hand I like deep stories in games but on the other cramming all the backstory into collectibles/logs/tapes etc is really, really outdated and there needs to be a better way to present that story to the player. Not a criticism for this game but for many others that fall into this trap of "tell, don't show".



1 and 2 are still amazing.

Oh I agree, though in this case it at least fits the overall "world" since humanity effectively no longer exists, just a small handful of tribes, and all of them are tech-averse so there's really no way for them to explain the history/lore. It's done really well in HZD .. IMO Very Happy

Well the plot is simple... venture out into the world to find the identity of the killers that attacked your village. That's the basis, which expands as you explore the world and uncover more of how the motives of the killers are tied into the past. The "lore" is told mostly in collectibles due to the fact there's really not much of a civilisation left, so you find remnants of the "old ones". I don't really know how different/better it could have been handled.

I do agree that the "tower" stuff (Longneck robots) apes Ubisoft's formula of unlocking towers/etc to expand the map, but, again, it works really well in the "lore" of the game and makes more sense to me.

(and yes, I'm aware I'm fanboying. A lot. This game blew me away and ticked every box, hitting every note.)

The lore is good, I never said it isn't, in fact I didn't say anything. It's actually well written and full of mystery as you only get bread crumbs each time. However, the exposition is horrible since you need to find collectibles to expand the lore and the conclusion is meh to say the least.

The main/side stories are just generic. They lack any moral choices, memorable characters or impactful consequences. There's a prince in the game that instantly falls in love with the main character, because reasons.

The content is also generic and I don't know who can defend it. It's a copy paste type of content with AC-like towers and a lot of markers on the map for trivial tasks that don't provide a meaningful experience. Sure, if you like this copy pasta content, it's fine, but this ain't the standard for quality.

The gameplay mechanics are the best thing about the game. The combat system isn't all that great with melee feeling like an afterthought . But the enemy's design is impressive. There's a great variety of robotic monsters with various strengths and weakness and you have to play around them. A lot of this world's charm come from these robotic animals and I do see the appeal in this rather unique approach.

I didn't say the game is bad, it's just overrated.

Your point? Lore is used in many games to justify some means of the plot, it's not what makes the story. By your distorted vision DA:I has an amazing story because the lore infusion in that one is great. Now go back to your cave of overly-praised mediocre games.

Given the last couple of previously-exclusive Sony titles; yeah, I reckon this'll be Epic exclusive if it's truly coming to PC at all.

Your face is mediocre! The point is obvious for anyone with working eyes and common sense. The lore is part of the story, and you cant say the lore is great and well written but the story is bland without sounding like a complete nutcase grinhurt See this is why nobody reads your little reviews on your little review site.

Finally, someone, I can agree with regarding this game. Surprised

Outside visuals, I didn't like it at all. Got very boring with a bland story and terrible characters.
