I don't get the appeal of this game, i though it was pretty meh.

Same, but it sold well. The industry is healthier and better because of new IP like this one.

One of the best games of this gen, so well deserved.

If I had a Ps4 I would totally own this. I'm just happy to see single player experiences still doing very well! And for a new IP!

LOL HZD is game 6 freaking years in the making...long before BOTW was most likely even being talked about. Nice try, though.

...Stop.

I REALLY don't see how it's a Breath of the Wild clone.

Ljink96 CaptainExplosion (on 28 February 2019)

I mean, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but let's be objective here. If HZD was 6 years in the making, so was BOTW... Eiji Aonuma said development started the same year, in 2011. Zelda released in 2017, which is also around 6 years. Zelda really could have released in 2015, early 2016 but the Switch.

But anyway, let people be happy for what they like Bomb, and stay on topic. Saves a lot of trouble man.

Streak, we all know that you're hugely biased ... but how in the hell was Horizon "in the making long before BOTW was even talked about"??? Zelda team finished Skyward Sword in 2011, Guerilla finished Killzone in 2013. That's a two year gap. And development companies start on their next game almost immediately. Not only that, but Breath of the Wild was first shown AN ENTIRE YEAR before Horizon.

And CaptainExplosion ... you're simply WRONG. It's not a clone of BOTW, it's a great game with it's own unique attributes. It has it's own great combat and world. It's art style is completely different and its enemy types really make the games shine.

I am simultaneously disappointed in both of you, and yet I don't expect anything different from you both then what I saw here today. For shame. FOR. SHAME. You both need to go home and think about what you said. THINK ABOUT IT!

If you read the comment, you would see I didn't attack Streak for being biased ... just clarifying that even if that's the case, those comments do not make sense.
