Anyone else playing Horizon Zero Dawn right now? / Future plans

in gaming •  7 years ago  (edited)

I've been playing Horizon Zero Dawn on my PS4 lately and it's quite an awesome game so far. Before this I was occupied with Persona 5 and I would still consider Persona to be the game of the year.

That said, Horizon Zero Dawn is not far behind. So what's awesome with the game?

Love the story line

Graphics is not the most important thing in a game. The story line / gameplay /both is. Look at Minecraft. Shitty graphics yet so popular.

You basically start the game playing a small little girl who lives as an outcast in the wild, along with her guardian. The setting is supposed to be the future where robots probably fought against the humans, and now humans live in tribes. The whole story is not clear as I've only started not long ago. You're supposed to find the truth of your own identity and what actually happened.

You just have to follow the story and learn the basic movements and familiarize yourself with the game. It only takes a small portion of the game as you later begin playing the grownup version of the same character. How often do you get to use a lady as a main character?

The story is pretty cool and I've been pleasantly surprised by how the story evolved, with twists here and there.

Filled with suspense

I always feel gan chiong or tense when playing this game. Imagine using a barbarian with arrows and a spear, against robots that are super strong with laser beams. It's definitely going to be pretty exciting considering how easy your character dies.

The stealth element to the game adds to the suspense. It's better if you kill the robots / human bandits stealthily to avoid getting detected by the entire horde.

Superb open world graphics

Sometimes it's hard to believe how much gaming has grown throughout the years. I used to play Maple Story (2D side-scrolling), Runescape, Gunbound and so on when I was growing up. Compare the graphics then and now. The transition is huge!

The graphic looks pretty realistic and it's orgasm to the eyes. It will be hard for me to go back to games with terrible graphics.

The side quests aren't as bad as those in Final Fantasy XV

The side quests here are at least more exciting than those "fetch" quests in Final Fantasy XV. I don't think it's as awesome as Skyrim's side quests but they're still enjoyable.

At least they have a variety of different kinds of quests, e.g. find a person, obtain items, get rid of corrupted robots and taking over a machine. It won't get boring after awhile.

Let me know in the comments below if you guys played / or are playing Horizon Zero Dawn! I still suck at it.


Enquiry

Games aside, I'm planning to create a website that is rather similar to coinmarketcap.com. Is there anyone on Steemit who has the technical skills to create such a site? If there is, how much will it be to design such a site from scratch? The API for the 1000+ coins is publicly available as well.

If the cost is too expensive, then I won't go on with this. As crypto is the future, I was hoping to get into the market as well.

Thanks for reading guys.

@howtostartablog : Not a gamer myself but the graphics look amazing.. The only game I do occasionally play now is Pokémon Go lol

Hahhaa I used to be crazy over Pokemon Go (morning to night hunting) but I stopped playing before the 2nd generation came out.

The graphic is so cool...reminds me of warcraft and avatar.

Haha definitely the Avatar part!
