You're certainly entitled to your opinion but so is everyone else. Horizon is only a few years old as a franchise and is doing incredible numbers....

The first Zelda game released the day after I was born... that is 37 years ago now. Nearly 40 years to build an audience and make it a premium brand.

Horizon is not a perfect game but the world is great, the robots are amazing and it has a lot to offer.....I think all the bashing is unneeded and the seeming aggressiveness behind it shows that there is some type of underlying fear....because why else attack it, if it's actually so 'inferior'?

If it actually was inferior, it would make it irrelevant.
Not everything is about sales, for one.

It didn't take Zelda 40 years to build it's audience and make it premium. Zelda has been premium since the original.

See that's the problem with Ponies... everything is about sales and graphics. Horizon is a mediocre open world game with pretty visuals...

There's absolutely NO fear that Horizon is going to ever be better than Zelda... because it simply wont. Nobody just attacks Horizon... it's always zealous PS fanboys who hype shit up to infinity and act like all their games are the greatest thing... and then they get upset when people clap back.

Compared to Zelda.. Horizon is 100% irrelevant. That's just facts.

I've spoken to pretty much everyone who uses those derogatory terms in private, I try to make sure warnings or bans are used sparingly....

You can always message me directly if you think there is an oversight or if moderation is impacting your usage of the site.

The ignore button is always a good option too for certain members you might not agree with.
I'm not concerned about derogatory terms 😄... I was simply stating that we all should be able to call out the factions as we want.

I have stated this fact multiple times.
If you do not agree with someone or fail to get the conclusion you wanted or you just can not get along, Block / Ignore them.
If you feel that you are being attacked report the post in question and we will look into it.
Right now all i see a lot of is back and forth of mine is better then yours, You are wrong and i am right.
Childlike bickering and people not acting there ages, as i have said before we are watching and taking notes.

Some folks definitely woke up in a trolling/argumentative mood today. Pretty sad life for those people.

Horizon is THE Sony franchise that gets the most criticism, even more than TLOU if that's possible. Weekly hate threads where they nitpick EVERYTHING about it. It's like all the trolls got together and decided it was the easiest target.

Now with the new DLC coming out, it's like another cycle is starting where all the negative news are getting more attention than the gameplay trailer. It's like a magnet for the Sony haters.
I was baffled by the amount of hate the game got. It's like it came out of nowhere.

But it was a perfect storm. The game came out around the time when anti Sony astroturfing was at the peak. So you already had a bunch of Xbox shills shitting on it. Then you had Elden Ring, which gave even more ammo to both Xbox shills and PC fanboys. On top of it all, you had your typical "it's woke" crowd, because God forbid we have a female lead.

Such a shame, really. Not only is is a technical marvel but it improves on the first game in every way but the story, but that's a conversation for another time.

It really is unfortunate for Horizon that Breath of the Wild stole all of Zero Dawn's thunder, and then Elden Ring stole all of Forbidden West's thunder.

Can’t say I disagree. Zelda absolutely smokes Horizon and of course it will by any metric.

Lmao damn these drones just appear. No one asked them., but here they re in horizon thread.
Zelda became big after 40 years. Sold on switch 24M. Finaly after selling 5M per entry. Even nintendo fans didnt care about it. Horizon on first try sold almost 25M.

Maybe thats why it gets to much hate. Or that zelda runs at 20fps at 720p in 2023. Or that u can fly over whole map im horizon. Or maybe something else.

Remji has been pooping up threads since the CMA's u-turn on acquisitions. Do not expect any good faith posts from him on Playstation related topics just ignore.

Preach, Nintendo fans hate on horizon because it shits on Zelda in every way imaginable, and xbox hate on it because they will never have a game that good looking to play!

The numbers disagree with you.

Horizon is one the most popular Sony franchise even for your beggar garbage race. Over 5,5k cc played it on Steam today. That's a lot better than many games that came out recently. It's the top Sony game on PC.

Can’t say I disagree. Zelda absolutely smokes Horizon and of course it will by any metric.
I'm not sure about that comparison? Is it because of the release date? They play nothing alike and Sony never market it as a Zelda-like as far as I know.

Delusional about why Horizon gets so much hate.. not the numbers.

Horizon gets hate because it's mediocre in every way that isn't visual. Trust me... nobody is surprised that PS fans hype up their exclusives and that they sell well. Especially when they're bundled with new consoles. 🤷‍♂️

As Christopher Dring from GamesIndustry.biz confirmed, the majority of sales were not attributable to the various bundles that were offered by dealers in the past year.
