The great reviews for this game have got me hyped, but holy moly--journos weren't lying when they said the game has abysmal facial animation.

It means there's a bunch of lovely fanboys still fighting console wars in 2017 and being needlessly pissy about game exclusives. See: the xbox thread, the PS4 thread, the switch thread; all the worst threads in this sub that are now leaking their poo poo into other places.

Notably, Lumpy the Cook cross-posted his info dump about "watching the stream of the whole game" and ImpAtom, who has already played the game in entirety, noted he got key parts of what he said completely wrong. He's not even good at watching youtube.

yea I was 100% one of those people who saw the leak and was all 'welp glad I have one less game to play this season'. Really happy to hear actually the rest is great and the animations for talking are just weirdly the corner they decided to cut.

Like, I don't know the game design process but it feels if they can make a game where you do sick dodges and shoot arrows into a really pretty robo-t-rex's fuel tank to make his butt explode apart they should have the tech to make at least average cutscenes for talking, right?

As a general rule, if there's something like that--a blatant, obvious error that cannot be brushed off as anything else--in a finished game, it's not there on purpose. It was simply judged to be too difficult/expensive/time-consuming to fix before release, or else there's a zero-day patch we haven't gotten yet that's intended to fix it. Either way, the safest assumption is always going to be "they ran out of time, someone important said 'ship it anyway,' and now here we are."

AAA games are such huge productions nowadays that developers can't do everything in house and often contract out cutscenes, side missions etc. to B-team/smaller studios to help generate additional content. You see the evidence of this all the time in a series like AC where the quality of a segment can suddenly drop off a cliff from area to area. Even for a multimillion dollar mainstream project like HZD, there aren't always the resources to QA every single thing.

I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?


But, you know, gently caress Ubisoft Open World style games.

You've got a perfect storm of console warriors because it's a PS4 exclusive, the anti-establishment everything because it's a AAA mainstream open world game, and the "what about the men" alt-righters with its female protagonist who isn't even that sexy and looks like a man, according to gameFAQs.

It's silly for him to have such a strong opinion on this poo poo and have the most egregious offender in the genre, is all.

So anyways, anyone else notice that they animated Aloy's legs to maneuver around the horse if you rotate the camera 360 degrees? She doesn't just snap around to face the other way. It's a really cool small detail.

Shouldn't the alt-righters be happy she looks like a man, at least?

They're not happy because most of the white males in the story are either bad guys or weak/useless compared to our brave Aloy. That and the fact she doesn't even look that hot make Horizon's brand of feminism a little too in your face for gamefaq's sensibilities.

There is nothing to actually talk about because the game doesn't come out for another week. It has nothing controversial about it and there is no drama in its development. We've got poo poo to actually post about.
