HZD...

Am I the only one around here who doesn't like Horizon Zero Dawn? I played it at a friend's house for a little over 2 hours and about 3/4 of that time was spent in cutscenes. I don't know about anyone else, but I like a little more GAME in my video games. I could tell the story was good, but I'd much rather watch all of the cutscenes on YouTube than spend $60 to watch a movie with a few crouch-walking segments. It's the same with the Last of Us and the TellTale games. Great story, but no enjoyable gameplay. Edit: So (choosing to ignore the hate) the general consensus is that I just didn't play it long enough. If that's the case, that's still a problem. If I can play for over 2 hours and not be out of "the beginning" setup, then I don't care to finish the rest of the game. Edit 2: I should probably also explain that I lump anything story related that makes you stay put for an extended period of time into the same category as cutscenes. I.e. Audio files that you have to stand next to to hear, character dialogue that gets quieter if you walk more than 3 feet away, etc. I don't know if it was just me, but any time I tried walking more than 5 feet away from an audio file, it cut off completely. And whether it was actually 3/4 of the time is beside the point. My point is it shouldn't [i]feel[/i] like that. I felt like all I was doing was wandering around a cave for 5 minutes, then there was a 10 min cutscene. I crouch walked through some bushes for 10 minutes, then another cutscene.

  • If all you were seeing were cutscenes you were probably rushing (although the intro does have a fair bit of setup) which isn't going to do the game justice. Kinda like driving up the US east coast, hitting a few major sights, in a few days vs hiking the Appalachian trail over weeks. That being said, there are more than a few here who didn't find it their cup of tea. You're not alone.
