Horizon Zero Dawn™ Complete Edition

I do not know what the devs. thought about making a movie where i have to press a hand full of keys to watch to the end. Never made it to the game itself. Now hidden in my list for never being touched again! I want to play a game. This garbage belongs to Netf**x or similar BS. MINUS 2 STARS

Charge twice, first on Steam, now on GOG for a still unfinished product that crashes frequently when entering the settings menu... Just wow.

the game won't start immediate crash after launching so I can't review the game asked for a refund

What exactly is this garbage supposed to be? Were Horizon Zero Dawn (HZD) only as bad as the Tomb Raider games, which it greatly resembles, then I might be able to like it. As it is, I'm stuck watching some woman waddling around with a full nappy (best I can describe the animation), from one sparse, ugly, patch of 'vegetation' to another. Thankfully, the map and camera are carefully engineered to stop me seeing much more. That's a good thing because what I can see looks bloody awful, so the rest is probably even worse. Of 5 hours "played", 3 have been spent trying to get the graphics to look halfway decent. My system and graphics card are above the recommended specs and the game itself auto-detects to Ultra (Note to publishers, marketing, and all other low-IQs: 'motion blur' is not a good thing), at which its bench-marking promises 35 FPS. Well, OK, I heard this was gorgeous so I can live with that for a while, except that it's not true. I've just played Witcher 3 (Ultra) and Kingdom Come: Deliverance (Ultra) and both looked infinitely better; more lush, detailed, better ligting, animations and models, and they weren't a blurry mess like this is. I notice nVidia experience doesn't support HZD, as it does the others. After 45 minutes I was already bored killing the 'scary', machines 3 or 4 at a time, '*Yawn*', frustrated by the console controls and menus and very, very, annoyed by whoever that woman is who's shouting at me all the time (it's a side-quest). Ragequit for the day. > Graphics suck - The greyish-brown blob might be a rock, cliff or road and the green blur is probably some sort of plant. > Optimisation doesn't exist - Is this really what console players think is acceptable? > 'Combat' sucks. Run up and hit them, no need for tactics. > Platforming should only be allowed in the Tomb Raider games, and only out of pity. > 'Stealth' ... *sigh*. > The good news is - all the deliberate stuff is so bad that I didn't notice any bugs.

This is a great game and no, Sony is not stealing your bank account info. It's harmless data collection on your internet interests and they don't even know your name. If that bothers you, put down the X-Files DvD set and go touch some grass. If you don't want people to know what you do online that desperately then maybe what you're doing online is something you should reflect on a bit.
