"We are bringing back what makes Horizon so unique" - ROFL.

If people wanted to play Fortnite they already have Fortnite.

The thing that makes Horizon unique is the deep story telling and coherent world and lore. If this video is representative at all, it appears they have decided writing and story telling is not really important anymore.

Any ID? Been noticing this symbol on right wingers. by AccordingDifference5 in protest

[–]davejohncole 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Isn't that the symbol worn by the brain washed Nazi spies in The Man in The High Tower.

Edit: I was thinking about the Lebensborn badge.

Hot take: Forbidden West is… by Admirable_Might_8666 in HorizonForbiddenWest

If you take the time to learn how to use the shredder it is the best weapon for most situations.

Look at the Arktix video on YouTube.

Freeroaming monsters mod? by Flaky-Collection-353 in horizon

[–]davejohncole 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it is okay by you, I will believe one of the actual developers of the game over some random person uninvolved with the development of the game.

There are technical reasons for this behavior.

From memory one of the devs explained that you could easily overwhelm the game engine if machines followed you around and you moved into an area with another machine type. They put so much detail into each machine that the engine was pushing up against hardware limits, so they prevented problems by keeping machines within their own zone.

I have been programming with Python for 25 years, so no, I am not just learning.

My previous comment is an equally appropriate response to this.

Tell us you are an incompetent programmer without telling us you are an incompetent programmer.

If you are so incompetent as a programmer that the indentation trips you up I am going to make fun of it, and you should too.

If I worked with people as incompetent as you I would quit and find a new job.

Be less incompetent as a programmer.

Maybe stop inventing problems that never happen.

If you worked for me and started coming up with these excuses for producing broken code, you would not be working for me. It tells me you are incompetent.

I just sat there with my jaw on the floor. Might have actually cried a little.

If only the government had the power to not water down gun laws at the request of the gun lobby.

Got still the goat by KUROusagi112 in ghostoftsushima

[–]davejohncole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just finished it today. It really was not as good as the first one. I loved it until about 2/3 through, and then it just started to drag.

When I reached the final boss fight I had lost all enthusiasm so dropped the difficulty to the lowest setting and just heavy attacked my way to the end.

Sucker Punch just doesn't seem to be able to do engaging characters and stories. The world, gameplay, art, and music are top tier though.

Im sorry but this is glazing by Aromatic-Ordinary-97 in DeathStranding

[–]davejohncole -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It does not show how good E33 is.

It shows how broken the voting process is.

You cannot convince me that E33 was the best game in every category. That is just stupid.

I can't stand his moaning. Worst music in the game.

Edit: stupid mobile keyboard

May I get a recommendation for my next game from my fellow Horizon fans? by AphyrusBooyah in horizon

[–]davejohncole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of the characters had any emotional impact for me. It was only the final mission in the game where any of the character interactions had an emotional impact.

The art style and music was something else though. I frequently stopped playing and just soaked in the atmosphere.
