The character animations when you engage someone in conversation in Horizon Zero Dawn are almost the exact same as Mass Effect Andromeda.

Just as stiff and awkward as characters stare blankly at each other talking, only thing I'd give Horizon over Mass Effect in terms of cutscenes is the dialogue is way less cringey

HZD was a console exclusive and fanboys can't diss their own exclusives due to the nature of dumb vidya politics

Andromeda was everywhere and thus fair game

What are you talking about? The ps4 board was talking shit about that nonstop for 3 weeks straight until the game finally released and people still complained about it afterwards

It caught all kinds of shit for it, just not to the extent of Andromeda

ME:A Didn't come out anywhere near as broken as Witcher 3 on launch but got shit on for being broken while Witcher 3 got away with being in a beta state and the devs more interested in fixing harmless money exploits then actually game breaking glitches.

The reason why ME:A caught more shit probably had to do with the studio behind it. People expect alot out of Bioware and were let down. Guerrilla Games has been making Killzone for the last forever, so I doubt people had as high of expectations for Horizon as the did for Mass Effect.

Yeah I don't remember hearing anything about this before, and when I got HZD I was baffled by the animations. It being an exclusive does explain it somewhat.

A guy on the ps4 board posted this video 5 or 6 times a day for weeks before the game released whining about how bad it looked

That's simple HZD fanboy, note I said fanboys not fans, are gamergate.

And before anyone tries to deny it please explain how the fanboys can claim that Nintendo somehow bribed almost every review site into intentionally scoring HZD lower and BOTW higher.

I think that andromeda was such a downgrade from its predecessors while horizon is a new ip

Honestly I'm just not a fan of the ultra-realistic style graphics that look really CGi. They hurt my eyes too much.
