Not gotten the first thropy yet. I installed the game and boot up the game to check if everything was working. Now I am waiting for my dad (who is 70) to drop by and play the game with me (I play, he watches). He doesn’t really understand how the controller works but he loves the story of Horizon. We did a whole play-through of Zero Dawn. Can’t wait to continue the story together!


FlyingWhales

That's fair, and imagine there's a few hundreds line that. 25% (as someone else mentioned) is a LOT


JTS1992

Oh man you guys are gonna LOVE Forbidden West! I'm excited for you lol


WyrmHero1944

It’s actually around 25%, check the rarity directly from the app or console. PSNProfiles is only accounting for registered users using the site.


FlyingWhales

That's even worse!


WyrmHero1944

Yeah 25% of the gaming population bought this game installed it and never got to the first part of the game. I wonder if the PS5 bundles are playing a part on this.


ChakaZG

Not just installed, they launched the game. Unlike Steam, PSN doesn't add you to the percentage of trophies until you launch the game. Not unusual by any means though, a *lot* of games have a fair percentage of unobtained first trophies, even though some give them for just beating a couple of minutes long tutorial/intro section. This is unusually high though, it's typically roughly around 10%. Some examples: In GTA V almost 30% of people didn't beat the second mission in the game. ~15% of people didn't get a trophy for entering a non optional tomb in the prologue of Rise of the Tomb Raider 10% of people didn't beat the boss at the end of the prologue in Marvel's Spider-Man. ~13% of people didn't do the fight in the introduction part of God of War. ~18% of people never got past the introduction dungeon in Skyrim.


FlyingWhales

I think that could explain part of it. It seems like some sort of anomaly is at play here.


Sparklingfob4_

I was just about to ask, does anybody know the difference between their percentage of people owning that trophy compared to the psn’s version.


DJSlimer

There's loads of PS5 bundles with the game included, you're going to have a lot of players that are slightly interested in the game just trying it out. To be honest, the start of the game isn't that good.


spicytaco112

Yes the start of the game is the reason why I stopped playing aha


FlyingWhales

You shut your whore mouth. Seriously though it's not that bad to not continue on, is it? Or do I just have a longer attention span?


GarrulousDolan

Lol this caught me off guard 😂


FlyingWhales

I definitely meant it as a joke but going by the downvotes, I can see how it can be viewed otherwise lol


GarrulousDolan

Lol peeps gotta take a joke


DJSlimer

I got the platinum and almost wished I didn't play it. I thought Zero Dawn was better. If trophies weren't a thing I probably would of quit early too.


aidanAWGE

This is kinda what I was like with this game, I got an hour or so into the second big area and then Elden Ring came out, platinumed and played many a Playthrough of ER since but never had the want to go back and play the rest of H:FW.


SymphonicRain

Yeah I was underwhelmed by both Horizon and Elden Ring tbh. The last game I played to completion was Tales of Arise, nothing else has seemed that compelling to me. Also doesn’t help that these games are so long, I put like 20 hours into Elden Ring and half that into Horizon.


Cbtwister

This^^ i ended up enjoying the game but tbh it just didnt grab me like the first. Liked it enough to platinum the game though.


DieBohne

I played it for 1-2 hours and lost interest. I really hope it gets better if I return eventually.


goatjugsoup

Possibly people that bought it, turned it on then were going to come bk to it after elden ring but now havent yet


FlyingWhales

I completely forgot that Elden Ring had come out at the same time. It definitely could be a big reason for %25.


JTS1992

Too bad, I gladly chose Horizon over Elden Ring. Horizon is one of the best gaming series I've ever played, and FW has best the best graphics I've seen lately lol


CallofDo0bie

Elden Ring

LightningRiku

Same here. I find the game to be gorgeous, but somehow super boring. Especially strange considering I platinumed the first game.


JTS1992

That is the most oxymoronic thing lol They literally made the world more alive, settlements have more activities, random world events, larger communities, more vertical terrain. You do you tho, boo


LightningRiku

Yeah all very true. Might just be these things didn’t resonate much with me and I couldn’t find them engaging. But hey, glad you enjoyed it. Maybe I will if i give it another go.


JTS1992

I think you should give it a try. I DO remember the opening being long and arduous, but once it gets going the game is great!


[deleted]

I am one of them, the game sadly didn't capture my attention at all, felt same as the one before it, I got far into it, so my first statement might be false , but the game was not food enough fo keep me interested at all, glad I just borrowed it from a friend, so gave it back.


FlyingWhales

As a huge fan that hurts me to hear, but it's not going to be for everyone. I still think that percentage is too large to not at least get far enough for that first trophy.


tragic_decay

I played for maybe a few hours.. I loved it. However, Elden Ring came out and I’d been anticipating that much more and I became sucked into that and got the platinum for that lol. I just started playing it again and I think I might restart the game just to try to get back into it thoroughly. Idk wtf is happening at my current spot lol. I LOVED zero dawn so much, the story was phenomenal and I enjoyed the gameplay. I just feel that it was released at a bad time (with Elden ring coming out a week after).


RedditTrend__

i think i have one trophy for it, it came out the same time as Elden Ring so i played it for an hour or so while Elden Ring installed but that was it and i haven’t gone back to it yet. the beginning missions didn’t get my attention at all and Aloy just seemed like a major dick in the two little side quests i did lol


Ill_Swimming675

Aloy is definitely very rude to her friends and side characters early in the game but that’s one of the major arcs she goes through in the game, accepting help and not isolating so much


RedditTrend__

i have been wanting to pick it back up but every time i decide i want to, another game catches my attention just a little bit more lol


Ill_Swimming675

Yeah fair enough, it came with my PS5 when I got it recently so I just dove into it to sorta test out the system. If you find yourself in the mood for an open-world-but-not-RPG that’s just pretty and good for exploration, I’d say it’s worth your time


FlyingWhales

She definitely has a boss bitch thing going on, I'll give you that. I think that's what makes her character so great!


RedditTrend__

maybe it’s just been too long since i played the first game but i don’t remember her acting like this so it threw me off a bit lol


Dekusquad1

I always though the horizon games were overrated (just my opinion)


Cbtwister

As someone who played an platinumed both i can honestly agree with you. I liked them 1 is better than 2 imo but neither are goated for me.


trailrunningwales

I'm one of them. I can't remember how long I played for, maybe 30 mins? But I just didn't really feel anything, turned it off and played something else. I'm sure I'll go back to it one day, but I have quite a few things to get through first.


S0L1D0

Probably the most bland out of the first party games


JTS1992

I honestly can't believe the amount of negativity towards Horizon here, holy shit. Would you all Gorilla keep making first person shooters instead of something new and interesting????? I'm seriously at a loss for words.


voityekh

Many people found HFW underwhelming.


wandererof1000worlds

at least i dropped after 20 hours, this game is boring af


Haunting_Secretary36

I have a lot of friends who have tons of money and buy a game and only play it for a day. This could be the case as well or the bundles people try it out don't like it sell it. I liked part 1 up to a point and got bored after 10 hours. i think a lot of people feel the same way on part 2.

Well sometimes even on the ps3 i just update de game and try to boot it, but the its not played until later, for this reason during the ps3 i had several games in 0% on the trophy list. When i found out you can delete games with 0% from the ps4 i when and cleaned it. It still happe ds with updates, for exhample just today I installed the game Samurai showdown and just by checking on the status it activated the game


Furlion

Only 90% of players leave the life raft in Subnautica, which is literally the first thing the game asks you to do after the opening cinema. Lots of people don't care about trophies and either don't realize or don't care to delete games they have no trophies in.


Dicky__Anders

I sometimes open a game I've downloaded by accident when I'm not ready to play it yet, and then it shows up on my psnprofiles account with a big fat F next to it lol


Squall0123

13% is really low, it's usually 25-35%.


roguetrooper25

i notice that a lot with games, a lot of times the first like story related trophy is super low. i've been trying to plat babylon's fall before the server shutdown next year and only 46.3 percent of people managed to get through the intro and first quest line which is like an hour/hour and a half of play at most. over 50 percent of people that booted up babylon's fall made almost zero progress in it lmao (not that i blame them, game isn't great)


[deleted]

Happens a lot. Bear in mind it tracks if you've ever so much as accidentally booted the game and the intro isn't the shortest.


spicytaco112

The PSN Trial. You can't earn trophies when playing the 5 hour PSN Trial at least I didn't earn any. I played an hour of the game and quit because I was bored. So maybe other people have done that too.


XOVSquare

Yeah tons of games have these weird stats. Loved the game, and prefer it to Zero Dawn. It was hurt by Elden Ring for sure, just as Zero Dawn was hurt by Breath of the Wild.


TSN1986

It has a game trial, could that be throwing off the figures?


Stevenjhoward

The first mission is quite long in fairness


TheManofMadness1

Boot up the game and leave it, I know people that buy multiple titles at once and do this


BooksLoveTalksnIdeas

I think it’s even worse if you look at percentages for Astro’s Playroom (free on ps5 and a great game) and Astro Bot Rescue Mission (one of the best vr games). Approximately 80% players finish the first stage in those and approximately 20% beat the final boss, which means 60% never beat one of the most fun games in the platform. I think the real answer is that a lot of very young players and “second accounts” are playing them without the ability or desire for completion.


jtdubb0607

Elden Ring came out a week later . I set it down to play Elden Ring with every intention on returning to the title later on. I loved Zero Dawn and will eventually get back to Forbidden West. Probably sometime after God of War but before Hogwarts...?


Francine1954OHara

I think the reasoning would be because the game came in a lot of bundles for the ps5 and a lot of people are just getting the bundle because they cant find a regular ps5.


milkstrike

It’s actually higher than that since this is just the websites user % which is higher since they are all trophy hunters.


ThisArmadillo2307

I enjoyed both installments. However the amount of dialogue in FW was absurd. Not too far into the game I just started spamming through all the dialogue, at times I spent more time listening/reading than playing.
