PlayStation PS5 Console + Horizon Forbidden West Bundle

Product Information

PlayStation_Dawg1994 PlayStation fans want mature games like god of war and the last of us we don’t really like kids games that’s why Sony attempt at kids games failed badly. R1spam Machine combat is still the star of the show, but fights against humans are definitely better. They're more engaging here thanks to the improved melee options you have.

NEStalgia I have to disagree. The excuse of "bad marketing" is used all the time, but I'd argue that companies focus on the games that have the most potential to sell well. When you present several games at an even but only x and z get a lot of views/reactions, etc, you know those are likely to perform the best. Companies simply follow the money. If you are purchasing, or already own, the PS4 disc version of this game you can get the PS5 digital version at no extra cost. RevGaming I’ve not played Demon Soul’s cos I hear it’s tough for those who don’t have much patience. Basically not easy at all. But I might have a look. Of course Horizon beats it. belmont I will be playing the game on a base PS4 very soon, and will be publishing my thoughts in the near future I just can't wait, the game looks so good. I don't even know if I want the performance or not since the visuals are so impressive

steizgr8 same. as much as I look forward to it. There's only one game I'd put it aside for. And that happens to come out a week later: Elden Ring. But Horizon will be the first game I'll jump into after that. What a good "problem" to have. Quintumply In the cons, I see you note "janky faces." Unless I missed it, I don't see mention of that in the review body. Can I get some more info on this?

I think Horizon is one of those series that either makes you obsessed (like I am) or it’s not that appealing. The machine designs are brilliant, with some new additions like the fearsome Slitherfang providing some of the game's best fights. As before, you can equip many different weapon types, including new ones like powerful Spike Throwers and the Shredder Gauntlet, which launches discs that deal damage for a short time before returning to you. Figuring out the best ways to deal with machines, whether it's using traps, removing some of their components, or just taking advantage of elemental weaknesses, is far and away some of the most engaging combat in the open world realm. Second Opinion Thanks for the review and insights. I'm probably going to wait a bit on this one, as I liked, but didn't love, the first one. One thing I DID love was the audio logs about the punk band that was developing over the course of the story in the past, and was one of my favorite parts because it was so different. It was nice to hear of how these people were coping with the situation while not being so "it's the end of the world" about it.RevGaming To be honest, I wasn't that keen on Aloy at first but she grew on me and I really liked her character by the end. Her friend/foe relationship with Sylens is great. The more information you can provide, the easier it will be for our teams to investigate and potentially fix the issue you are reporting. Please use respectful language when reporting issues. MakersMark It's a shame but I bet many missed the story about Bashar Mati (the druggie son who loved his mum) told through the vantage points, which was a well told story in itself. Concrete Beach Party in The Frozen Wilds was ace, too. KilloWertz It's much, much better than Zero Dawn. Like, at times it does rival the likes of The Last of Us and God of War. You've got to remember though that there are hours and hours and hours of conversations in this game — much more than in any Naughty Dog or Santa Monica game — so it's really hard to get the motion capture to the same standard completely across the board. It’s also worth noting that, while certainly less high-profile than Horizon Forbidden West, every PlayStation 5 console does come with Astro’s Playroom, which is ostensibly a short tech demo meant to showcase the new features included in the DualSense controller. Still, no matter what game Sony opts to bundle its system with, scarcity will have most buyers grabbing whatever console they can rather than waiting for a bundle.

Another minor annoyance was the platforming which, based on this review, doesnt seem to be fixed. It was never a deal breaker but was one of the thousand cuts that lessened the experience in my eyes. It showcases the console’s power and next generation improvements. It’s a beautiful game that runs like butter. It loads almost instantly, showing off what the SSD can do for life quality in the case of gamers. Quintumply Not sure if this has already been covered but is there any carry over between save files from the first to the second game? Sometimes sequels will carry over gear or decisions made in the first game and other times they'll reward returning players with something else. Any of that here? My PS4's Hard Drive crashed a couple years ago and took my original Zero Dawn save with it Just wondering if I'd be missing anything if I just started the sequel fresh. Thank you!Sqush-Pare fair enough. I would. For me, it plays the same and it's no coincidence that it was made by the same studio that made the Killzone games. Bow or gun, the end result is the same. the success of the PS5 in the UK can be directly attributed to the Horizon Forbidden West bundle at the moment. ‘ That's in no small part thanks to improved writing and a much, much better cast of supporting characters. Some familiar friends, such as Varl and Erend, join Aloy on her quest and are even more likeable, while new faces such as Zo and Kotallo are fantastic. Everyone feels more fleshed out and human, and you'll grow to like them as they play a larger role in the overall narrative.

I enjoyed the first game but found it had many little annoyances - wooden facial expressions while characters talked being one of them. This wasn't really a problem for Aloy but mostly affected NPCs you talked to. I had hoped they'd fix it for the sequel but I guess not. To be clear, I don't think that most people are saying that HFW is a bad game. I just think the statement that it is responsible for driving sales or that people prefer that bundle is silly. People are being forced to buy the game whether they want it or not in a bundle because that is how Sony is choosing to sell the PS5 right now. The PS5 sales have nothing to do with HFW, they are selling every unit they can make. RaZieLDaNtE I'll definitely be replaying The Witcher 3 on PS5, hoping to give Cyberpunk a go on the PS5 as well. HZD was my first ps4 game so I spent 100+ hours doing everything and I'm excited to return to its unique world and continue the story of Alloy on ps5

Or the countless non official bundles that GAME roll out every month with the standard PS5 in a standard box with extra controllers, some extra rubbish like a t shirt and controller case, plus Horizon Forbidden West Included? 😵😵😵 KundaliniRising333 I'm unsure what the resolution is when playing in Performance Mode but it's definitely not 4K. I'm sure Digital Foundry will enlighten people soon enough. I hope Stevivor didn't ruined GG's bonuses though. That would be a second time they don't get the 90. To upgrade to the digital PS5 version, you will need a PS5 console with a disc drive. PS4 game discs can't be used with the PlayStation®5 Digital Edition. Col_McCafferty Agreed. I know people have different opinions and tastes but calling the story of Zero Dawn 'boring' or 'pants' has me baffled. The way it was told, especially through datapoints, was very, very good and quite haunting I thought.
