Mass Effect 3 was trash too.
Just because a game copies features from others of its kind doesn't make it generic. Is every DnD cRPG "generic" because they rely on recognizable settings/characters/lore, rulesets, and gameplay structures? HZD is a good game because it takes a solid foundation and adds in its own twists, ultimately resulting in a generally fun experience. Just because it isn't perfect does not make it mediocre.
Only because you were already invested from the first two games. Everything about the third (except maybe combat?) was inferior to the former two, so much so that it actually made those former two worse just by its association.
The stakes are that machines are going berserk, getting stronger and more hostile, and thus human civilization is becoming less stable and secure. I found it interesting enough as a premise to stick with it, even if it doesn't completely stick the landing.
Disagree. You receive significant amounts of training + arcane technology to bolster your fighting capabilities, and yet still have to rely primarily on stealth and ambushes in order to get through bigger fights, especially on the higher difficulties where the enemy weaknesses become increasingly more important and resources become more scarce.
I liked it.
You mean just like IRL? There are many, many helpless, ignorant, superstitious people with regressive ideologies in the real world but they shouldn't be condemned to suffer just because of that.
Aloy ACES the initiation. Despite being trained by a hobo. Her contemporaries presumably had access to actual master-at-arms and proper equipment. Not only does she win, she also single-handedly murders an entire cultist party. Who have machine guns. Who ambush you. This bitch is Rey from Star Wars, but on steroids. Her having the power of HUD doesn't make her a better character. It is undeserved power.
That doesn't make it a good narrative tool. (It makes you a cuck though)
Lmao. Let me guess, you were born and raised in the West, right? I don't have the White Saviour Complex. When I see a savage, I don't presume it to be noble. Any fictional people must produce at least one noble quality for me to care about them, especially if the story demands me helping them.
He's not a hobo. He's literally the best warrior of the tribe (or close enough). And she was trained since she was a small child. Now, should she be acing the initiation? Probably not, but Aloy is the proxy of the player and the player always has to be the best, so...
Gary Oak would like to have a word with you.
No longer a PS exclusive :D
Where are those? I'm genuinely interested.
Because she literally has all of her training (Rost is a former Nora Brave - aka a soldier) plus the advantages of a piece of tech that lets her see enemy weaknesses which allow her to take down machines much more easily than other hunters who lack this focal piece of equipment? Did you even play the opening chapters? The kid you save at the start when Aloy's a kid is shocked that you're able to easily avoid the machines, which she is able to do because she can see their movement patterns through the piece of tech that she finds. It is not undeserved.
There's like one dude with a machine gun and everyone else has bows. It's not an impossible feat. Also, did you miss the part where she was thrown off a cliff and almost killed?
I'm a cuck because I like listening to my character speak about the world. Right.
Yes, I'm American. No, I'm not "white" (no such thing as race, though). Ignorant/backwards people aren't "savages" just because we're more advanced than they are. I also never said that those from less developed, highly superstitious societies are inherently "noble" (which would apply to countries like China too) - I simply said they don't deserve to suffer just because of where and to whom they were born; factors that they had no control over.
"Cuck cuck cuck cuck" Yes everyone who disagrees with you is a cuck simply for enjoying a video game. By inserting this disc into my PS4 and not immediately being disgusted with it I am now literally a soyboy. Dipshit.
None of the stealth is necessary for the Initiation. When was the last time you played this game? What is stopping ALL of the warriors from the tribe teaching the non-exile kids? Like, one of the faggy kids even cheats against Aloy, yet she still prevails. If you think that this is good writing or is conducive to the player liking Aloy for some reason, then I am at a loss.
And yet she still prevails. She's already a complete powerhouse at the very beginning of the game for no reason. This deflates any possibility of a character arc. You can say that you like all-powerful women, but that doesn't make the character writing good. It's just lazy.
You're a cuck because you like listening to your character regurgitate plot points like the player is 5 years old.
I rest my case, your Honour. I'm not gonna get into politics with you, I just wanna say that so far your statements are nothing but cliché.
You're a cuck because your arguement so far have been "Disagree. I actually quite liked it. I think there is nothing wrong with it and it's the opposite of what you claim" without any substance to back your opinion up. I'm still waiting for you to produce even one quality this open-worlder has over any other.
NOOOOOOO NOT MY HECKIN POLTERINO BEING SPOILED, I'LL LEARN THAT THE PLOT WAS SHE WAS BEING A GIRLBOSS AND DOING GIRLBOSS THINGS
