Sega CD is likely part of the reason the Saturn never got much past the launch. They waited too long for it. They kept trying to juice the Genesis up with the 32x and the Sega CD attachments, that by the time they committed to the Saturn, the Playstation was ready to blow through the doors... at a cheaper price.
The feeling of scale in the original game had is hard to replicate 25 years later. Spending hours scrapping through a city that already felt massive only to be dumped outside and realize that it was Act 1 of ? was downright disorienting in 1997. And there were a lot of other moments sprinkled throughout that felt huge and probably come off as quaint today.
So I know you haven't played elden yet... But which one do you think is better elden ring or horizon?
Thanks for the reply. I'm sure I might eventually pick up both... But I have had an issue lately of not finishing games I start. I think the last one I actually finished was control and before that was the original horizon... But there have been a few that I have started and not completed for whatever reason... Whether I just take a break from a while and didnt pick it back up or that I didn't like the game. One of those was breath of the wild which from what I can tell has similarities to elden ring, however I did play it quite a bit... I'm more or less just never went to fight Ganon. I also tried bloodborne when it was a free game a while ago and I just couldn't get into it. I suppose both of those points really doesn't sound all that great for elden ring but the open world part of it does intrigue me as I really didn't like that about bloodborne.Yeah that's a great question...I'll probably be starting Elden Ring maybe this weekend? So I'll have more to say on it after that, but it probably comes down to what you're looking for. Yes, Elden Ring was made by From Software who did Dark Souls 1-3, Demon's Souls, Sekiro, and Bloodborne. I've talked about it in here before, but I bounced off Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne but Sekiro is one of my favorite games of all time. So I think it depends which one might click and which one might not.
The difference on this game is it sounds like you have so many more options on what you can do...it's 'open world' Dark Souls. So if you run around and find a boss that is an asskicker you can just go fight something else instead of bashing your head on it over and over. I've been trying not to watch other people play it to avoid spoilers but that's the thing, there are so many people playing it including people who normally don't play those types of games. I think that shows it's more accessible than some of their other games. Still tough, I'm sure, but you have more options this time.
Horizon has a lot of similarities and I'm sure there are reviewers out there who just said it's another Ubisoft-type gigantic map with a bunch of dots type of game but I think it's more than that. It has a big map with a bunch of stuff you can do but it doesn't feel repetitive. There are a ton of different environments and there are so many different ways you can play in terms of combat/weapons/etc.
I really feel like these will be two of the best games all year so if someone can I would recommend getting both of them, but I know that's not always possible. I feel like I'm going to have a hard time picking one over the other in the end
