Pointless nontroversies aside, Horizon immediately got me with a startlingly unique premise, and the game was great.
Ya the combat was super fun, story was interesting with some good twists, voice acting was pretty great (RIP Lance Reddick) and the world was fun to explore and looked really amazing.
Again, maybe I missed something, but I felt I was getting weaker, not stronger.

It's the sequel where for whatever reason, they made Aloy uglier. Look at the difference ! That is crazy !

While it is good to see AMD launch its own Frame Generation thing, I am just not a huge fan of it (neither Nvidia's DLSS). If the power of the GPU is so limited that it needs to downscale and then AI upscale and use "fake" frames and so on, it often shows. I have watched a friend playing Cyperpunk 2077 on a 4090 with DLSS and I think FG was turned on, too, and it just did not look good very often. Ghosting, and sometimes a sort of shimmering effect on e.g. fences and a sort of "bleeding" colors effect... I know, Nvidia and AMD (and most likely Intel) are working on improvements of their solutions but up to now, their solutions still have many obvious problems.
So - right now, no thank you. But good luck improving them and once they look as good as the original image, I will try this on my 7900XT.
I have a 4080 and i play cyberpunk a lot. You can max out the settings, i mean MAX them out at 4K with path tracing and psyco reflections if you use frame generation and DLSS set to QUALITY and get close to 80-100 FPS. You can get 130 FPS if you play at 1440.
I have done tons of testing with all these settings and 4K maxed out with frame gen and DLSS set to QUALITY and you can not tell the difference at all during game play. You have to stop and examine every little detail to find a problem. The game looks stunning.
With these things turned off i cant use even close to those settings and the game does not look even close to as good.
Frame generation in it's current state is garbage. Without them introducing some form of asynchronous reprojection as part of the rendering pipeline to make your inputs feel better, frame generation just makes games objectively feel worse. Full stop, not up for debate: Frame generation introduces MORE input lag the more you rely on it. Even with forced on Nvidia reflex the game feels terrible with frame generation on using RT Overdrive. Everything you do feels squishy, imprecise and delayed regardless of the frame counter displaying 90-100fps. It has nothing to do with "AAA developer eye" or "3D artist" or whatever nonsense you're spouting now. The crux of the issue is and always has been the input delay forced upon you by enabling frame generation. I'd take the smaller and harder to notice visual artifacts if they could make it "feel" 1:1 with player input. As it is the tech looks good in videos so show off but the minute you start to actually play it, the facade cracks, and you realize it's not worth the compromise when the game feels like garbage to actually play.These are not my opinions though, as I haven't tried it. I REALLY wanted to but didn't spring for a new video card when seeing stuff like this. I have a 3080 if it matters.

A shame I have to play a modded version which makes it illegal to play online. But I just can't handle the 60fps cap and the auto-centering of the camera while moving around. It feels like I am literally fighting with my mouse; like some phantom is fighting me for its control. So for that garbage alone this game should be getting lots of flak.
But yeah I am loving this game. Kinda annoyed that I can't think of a better weapon than my starter weapon, now Broadsword +14. What's the favorite weapon(s) of you guys?

For those saying that Elden Ring is fine there are numerous Digital Foundry videos with video evidence of it being not fine as well as streamers with half second pauses.

Excellent game. Plays like a mix between:

Now that my hardware can run the game properly, I have changed my tune. Even combat feels pretty decent now that the game doesn't run like shit. Low performance somehow had a bigger influence to this game than any other to me somehow.
Yep, this game is fucking amazing. I swear I fell in love with Panam, that sexy ass drama queen. This game has passion all over it. Most (side) characters text or call you just to check how you're doing, and you are free to do the same to them. One main character also functions as the comical release and I love him and V for it. Its open world should really just function as a top-notch backdrop for simply amazing, deep quests. I've only played side-quests for hours today, not touching the main quest at all, yet it felt like I was progressing through the main story. The side-quests are that impressive, with a long chain. Exactly what you'd expect from CDP have you played TW3.

. In fact, scores mean shit, especially on 1 to 10 scale. I mean, seriously, is anything under a score of 7 good? So why even have a 1, 2, 3, 4.5, 5, 6, 6.5? lol

That's strange on the EVGA front. I hit their site day of launch and put in my email for notification of arrival. Unless they had the cards listed prior to launch day. I don't even remember any more

Ahh - thank you! Shows I registered to be notified on 9/18 but nothing sent yet.
For a 3080, right? They have prioritized the higher-end models, trying to get as much money from what few chips they have, so if it's an Ultra you might be getting an email soon. Cheaper Black and Gaming ones are still on 9/16 according to what I've seen. Here's a report which is supposed to be regularly updated by an EVGA employee.
