I like how they created video types in shows with their own seasons. I also like the this day in giant bomb stuff, its cool to see the old videos and remember stuff from years ago.

I don't like how gigantic the main video on the top of the site is.

I walked my horse up to a mission giver and my horse stepped up some stairs and made a noise. As I got off the horse people freaked out and scattered and then the mission giver was locked. A Wanted sign pops up for "Animal Cruelty". I apparently hurt my horse somehow? I have no idea what I even did. My horse did not fall or take any damage. I take my horse and leave the red "wanted" area as the lawmen are magically on the scene within moments. They leave, I return, the mission remains locked and I know have a $5 bounty.

In another incident I came across a man that was standing over a dead body, with another dead body hanging from a carriage. The man sees me and tells me to get lost and puts his hand on his gun. I don't leave right away and he draws so I kill him. A witness runs off and I get Wanted for murder and have a $30 bounty.

Another time gang members blocked the road and wanted to rob me. I killed them. Someone sees me looting them and instantly takes off as a witness. I get another bounty.

I just don't understand how you can have any fun in this game sometimes. People attack you and are clearly criminals, yet you get wanted for defending yourself. Its beyond annoying.

But then you can do side missions where you just commit murder and everything is fine. Game feels all over the place at times. One moment I'm having an amazing time and the next I'm ready to turn the game off.

If they had announced this along side a Diablo 2 remaster or another character expansion for Diablo 3 no one would care. But they literally built all this up as "a good year to be a Diablo fan" to then announce the Switch port and this mobile game. The worst part is it is outsourced to a developer who has already made a game that looks almost identical to this "new" Diablo game. Blizzard always does high quality work so for them to put this out and have it be their "big" final Blizzcon announcement is insane. I can't imagine what they were thinking.

The worst part is the game straight up looks like a re-skin of a game the developer already made. It seems like the worst cash grab, something Blizzard usually doesn't do, say what you will about their business models.

While this doesn't look great, I'm pretty sure this series is going to be about a younger Geralt and in the books and the Witcher 1 he doesn't have a beard.

I absolutely love the first game but I am struggling to get into this one. The controls and movement just feel terrible. Everything is so heavy and slow. The systems are all convoluted I feel like I still don't understand half of what is going on with all the small systems in the game. I try to have fun in the open world and the game just seems to penalize me for messing around, like killing a murderer who threatened me, getting wanted for killing and then being killed by the police which results in me losing my animal and pelts I put on my horse, which of course took me like 15 minutes to get.

I see the fun, I see the greatness in the game, but I'm not experiencing any of it.

Not buying the game over this won't do anything but hurt the employees who are already putting the 100 hours in. Buying the game at least shows support for the hard work they did and I'm sure they appreciate people loving the game they worked so hard on. If somehow this game were to tank over this, the same people who had to work 100 hour weeks would probably just lose their jobs.

Only thing I've played on it this entire year is Bayonetta and Octopath Traveler. Not a great year but I still really like the console and Zelda enough to not mind so much.

Pretty excited to get back into Gwent in a few weeks. I haven't played in about 4 months waiting for the full release. I'll also try Artifact.

@bonbonetti: The 'shared online world' just means you can see other players driving around on your map. They can't drive into you or mess you up in anyway. You can participate in forzathon live every hour and its all teamwork stuff no competition. People in your game can start any of the exhibition races or even the story chapters and offer invites to everyone to do them competitively or cooperatively. Its not bothersome at all. Besides doing forzathon live events and competing in team races that I matched into I have played the rest of the game single player. Honestly the entire game is single player if you want it to be.

Yeah I've been saving up for the double forzathon points house and its taking forever. Granted I bought cars, but still, I haven't spent credits in 8+ hours saving up the 5 million. I guess I got pretty unlucky on some super wheel spins. There's also a 10 million and a 15 million credit house, even with double credits from being a VIP member that seems like a lot and I know one of those unlocks a barn find.

This is my first Horizon game and I am absolutely loving it. Only thing I don't like is how ridiculous the prices of the houses are if you aren't a VIP member. I'm playing through game pass on PC which is awesome, but seems like they really try to get you to be a VIP player. Spinning the wheel is kinda fun and I don't mind getting new clothing items until it happens 5 times in a row when all I want is credits.

Still a great game.
