All around a mesmerizing gameplay experience with jaw-dropping graphics, breathtaking scenery, and a masterful storyline to tie it all together, Horizon was ahead of its time when it debuted on console several years ago. But, since the game's recent steam release Horizon has found a home among PC gamers who are reveling in the game's graphical splendor. And if you love that and still have some time to kill, there's Horizon Forbidden West

When battling enemies of varying sizes and danger levels, it's always recommended to have on the best gear possible. Whether you're looking for aesthetics or the best defense possible, the best armors in gaming are usually a combination of b

Ivaldi's Armor Set of Deadly Mist proves to be one of the best when it comes to armor sets in 2018's God of War . Of course, the journey to getting the best gear is a challenging and dangerous one, as Kratos and Atreus must venture into Niflheim , a realm choked with a toxic m

The glowing blue lights aren't just to make it look pretty, it actually serves as one of the main factors why this armor is so powerful. They generate a force field that protects Aloy from an oncoming barrage of attacks , thus maximizing her defensive and offensive capabilit

Sold at 10,000 souls by the Shrine Handmaiden, it's not too frightfully expensive compared to other armor sets on sale . Unsurprisingly, this is the record heaviest armor in the game, but it offers the highest defensive capabilities . From high fire to bleed resistance, it's good armor to have if you're playing as a t

The shift of the Fallout series to 3D was generally appreciated by many gamers. However, there were some people who lamented the loss of the deep role-playing mechanics that were lost in this move to

However, this is not to say that durability systems should just be eliminated entirely. In fact, when done right, they can make gameplay feel more realistic in a way that isn’t infuriating. For starters, apart from survival games, weapons can still have a durability limit without breaking. Or perhaps eventually they will break, but you’re able to keep tabs on how worn out your weapons are, and you can choose to go and repair them before they get close to breaking entirely. This would keep the realism element without making the player feel like they need to entirely avoid using their better weapons. This would also avoid the aggravating part where you must constantly be finding new ones to pick up (though you likely would need to be gathering supplies as you progress through the game, to have the materials to fix weapons lat

Unreal 2 is a major step up from the original in terms of visuals and gameplay. It may lack the open-world immersion of Horizon , but its sci-fi elements and creatures feel quite similar, as do the environments the player can vi

But games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild have gotten a lot of hate for its weapon durability setup. In Breath of the Wild, you go through weapons and shields extremely quickly, and they’re just broken and unusable once you’ve used them up. This game falls into that exact, problematic description that I’ve given above. Considering how great the rest of the game is, it’s unfortunate that so many people could not get past the durability sys

Capcom has been doing quite well for itself, being named top publisher of 2018 by Metacritic and having monster hunter wilds Missions|https://Monsterwildlands.com/ Hunter: World , Mega Man 11 , and Onimusha: Warlords sell strongly .

More than that, the argument has been made that weapon durability systems basically discourage combat altogether. If you must constantly replace your weapons—and especially if you’re carrying a better weapon with you—you’re reluctant to use it because you don’t want to use it up. Furthermore, it also encourages players to use the worst weapons possible in every battle, in fear of using up the good ones. Instead of encouraging the usage of a variety of weapons like the system is supposed to, it often ends up encouraging players to simply avoid combat. Sometimes, players even finish the game without using any of the best weapons, because they "might need it later"—indefinitely. It almost seems like weapon durability is basically the game’s way of shooting itself in the f

A major focus of Wild Hearts ' reveal trailer that looks to set the game apart from Monster Hunter comes with the emphasis on technology. Players will be able to use a variety of technology and buildable items to aid them in battles with monsters, including building blocks to help players gain altitude. Some other inventions the players can use to aid them in battle include a helicopter-like propeller to hover over larger enemies and a hammer catapult. The trailer also teases the ability to upgrade players' weapons with a variety of effe
