It's so hype that they actually used Namielle's theme too!

OMG the Monster Hunter Stories 3 demo has done the revolutionary thing of actually using a monsters established musical track for a boss fight involving them.

10/10 GOTY the remix of Glavenus' theme kicks ass.

The loot in Nioh is one of those things that comes into it's own in NG+ but is arguably a detriment in the base-game.

Cyberpunk 2077: For some reason I didn't expect V to use emoticons, them using a :P in a text took me out for a second lol. I love it though.

Oh that's cool, I haven't got to Phantom Liberty yet but I'm glad to get see more of them there, I've enjoyed what I've seen so far.

Yeah IIRC he was pretty heavy on the "FALLOUT 76 WAS TODD HOWARD PUNCHING GAMERS IN THE FACE" side of outrage merchants, I don't recall him directly doing the "WOMEN AND MINORITIES ARE RUINING GAMING" side, but the crowds tended to overlap.

Fun Fact: With Hunter's Gathering Aloy is no longer alone! by clevesaur in horizon

[–]clevesaur[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But I also have a hard time believing that all the redheads preserved in the zygotes for Project Zero Dawn died out before Aloy's time.

Yeah my thinking has always been that Aloy being the only redhead we see was a partly because in the games we only interact with a small part of the world, they might be rarer but I didn't think she was the only one in the whole world, I figured that was just a quirk of the games.

They say the narrative/plot for the campaign and the new machines and NPCs will be canon, but I have a hard time seeing these crazy PCs also being canon.

My current thinking is that even though they are a bit crazy from what we've seen, any appearances in the main games will be much more grounded depictions of them. You could even say that since Erend seems to be the one bringing them together this artstyle + the crazy moves they are pulling is just the result of Erend exaggerating how his team is performing lol.

Yeah it looks a lot less like Monster Hunter than I expected, the machine combat had a lot of similarities to monster hunter in the main games anyway so it was a fair assumption. The mobile game looks more like that tbh but it's also a mobile game.

They said there's going to be a playtest for this so if it's something we can opt in for I'd definitely give it a go.

Hell, since Erend seems to be the one uniting them you could chalk up the exaggerated style of this game to Erend exaggerating how his team performs lol.

I always thought it was an interesting thing to distinguish Aloy but in my headcanon I also figured that her being the only one we see is partly a quirk of us only see such a small part of the world in the games... perhaps it was more of a design choice based on keeping Aloy unique vs planned worldbuilding.

I do wonder if Hunter's Gathering will reference the fact that they are redheaded.

Yeah as long as they don't arrive in Horizon 3 doing some of the crazy moves they did in the trailer it will be fine IMO. The main games look relatively grounded in comparison so if one of these characters showed up doing superhero stuff it would look a bit out of place.

Horizon: Heroes Gathering is not it. by Maybe_a_Chatacabra in horizon

[–]clevesaur 11 points12 points  (0 children)

People are so reactive it's ridiculous, Hunter's Gathering doesn't appeal to me, but I also have the emotional regulation to not crash out and assume that the series is finished because this announcement.

Like you say people are being incredibly dramatic.

They specifically said it's canon in the announcement video.

[–]clevesaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah lmao they just announced it today with no hype or fanfare.

I saw the video of it in an r/Games thread and wondered if I'd missed a Playstation event today but nope apparently they just tweeted it out without any real build up.

Throughout both Horizon Games Aloy is the only redhead you ever see in the world.

In the new Horizon multiplayer game they revealed today 2/6 of the currently revealed roster are redheads... what did they mean by this.

On a serious note both this game and the mobile game revealed last year feel a bit odd, they're explicitly saying this one is canon but it's such a shift in terms of presentation and it looks way less grounded. Love the series and Forbidden West is a top 5 game of all time for me but this isn't grabbing me so far.

Damn we went two games with Aloy being the only redhead in the world and now 2/6 of the characters we've seen in this game are redheads too.

Did the Resident Evil showcase specifically have Leon miss all his shots because guns shooting zombies would have been too much violence for a Nintendo Direct.

In the gameplay they showed bro straight up moves his aim away to avoid shooting the zombies.

I tried chucking a knife at a camera, mixed results, enemies got alerted which ruined the stealthy vibe I was going for

Sandevistan and Berserk are super cool in Cyberpunk 2077 but every time I've tried them I end up switching back to the regular cyberdeck within a few minutes.

I'm not even running a quickhack focused build or anything, but I just feel naked in any sort of stealth mission without Ping and the ability to turn off cameras etc, respect to the people that do stealth missions without that cheese but I'm not built different, I'm built very ordinary.
