Im still playing through this (Elden Ring is next) with about 75 hours played

crazy how literally no one is talking about it anymore. Guess its not a good idea to release a game against the most anticipated game of the past 5 years

What's funny is they did that twice The first game came out around the same time as BotW.

The difference is that BOTW was on a completely different system than Horizon so it wasn't a direct competitor. Meanwhile, Elden Ring is on PS4/PS5 so it is directly competing with Forbidden West (also, Sony consoles have the biggest Souls fanbase too). Regardless, it will still "sell well" because Sony will eventually bundle it with every PS5 in 2-3 years, but I wonder how this will effect fan's interest in the series due to this direct competition.

I have zero interest in Elden Ring (beyond it being one more to add to the "maybe get someday if I see it cheap and need something to play" list), whereas I was really excited for Forbidden West, so... yeah.

I finished the story on FW a few days ago, haven't finished all the side stuff yet but not sure if I'm going to bother doing so. Probably will at least hunt out the remaining actual quests, but likely won't bother with collectibles / etc.

And getting a Switch at launch was also downright impossible. I'm pretty sure at one point Nintendo had sold more copies of BotW than they had actual Switch consoles.

Basically what happened is no one has a PS5 and Sony's response is to build more PS4s.

Yeah, same, that stuff didnt really overstay its welcome too bad but at the same time Im not excited at the prospect of doing it for a whole nother game. Loved the story but from what I understand in the sequel theyre focusing more on the aspects of it I found boring and less on the part of the plot I was really excited about last time.

Is it seriously that long now? The first game was like 30-50 hours and that felt like the perfect length.

Maybe to absolutely 100% it but I'm pretty sure you can get the Platinum with a completion % in the 60s or low 70s.

Interested in both Forbidden West and Elden Ring, but couldn't decide between them (can't really afford both right now).

The decider was that Elden Ring was slightly cheaper, and for that lower price tag I was getting a copy for both PS4 and PS5 (have a PS4, want a PS5).

I fully intend to get FW at some stage, but I'm pretty happy with what I'm playing right now.

Maybe Im misremembering but Im pretty sure I got the 1st Horizon for $20 on sale only about a year after it released.

Just fought the enduring

really highlights how ass this games melee combat is

total bullshit how enemies just randomly break your combos (which does damage)

beat it after a few tries and the only damage I took was from that. If its avoidable without being totally defensive the game doesnt do a good job explaining how
