I paid โฌ16 for Horizon Zero Dawn, it came out in 2017... ๐คทโโ๏ธ One of the best single player games I've ever played. Runs on Linux. Played the whole game on Linux. Played in sessions of a few hours a time. I have 2 kids and played this game.
I think you are using a lot of assumptions here. But if you really don't like that kind of game, fair enough.
I'm just saying, there are a lot of high value games which are not slop. All I'm saying.
Thats a good deal! It looked like it was $60 now..
Yeah makes sense. I just get an ick reaction to most of those super fantasy games, like the FF games which I avoided forever but did start playing FFXIV and I do enjoy it most of the time, its just so many names and places and game mechanics to remember. I also play probably 20+ different games a week, very rarely do i ever play 1 game at a time.
Also, to me any game around 2010 era is still brand new lol. 2017 may as well have been just released xD
Yep id agree youre right.
It was a really good deal! I bought it for โฌ19,90 again one time for a friend. I don't think he played through it all. ๐ He plays a game for like 6 months then drops it...
I 100%'d Horizon Zero Dawn. Sooo good. The story was amazing, the pacing, how they slowly introduce mechanics to you to ease you into advanced combat mechanics, how you slowly gain access to armour, weapons, etc. Just masterful. And the story, super engaging. It's very well received. ๐ฅฐ
I think it's probably a little bit different from the FF games, but I can't say for sure as I never played those.
But yeah, anyway, I'm glad you're able to play all you want and need to play without upgrading. It's very nice to be able to save money for a rainy day. ๐
