WELCOME TO ANOTHER
DO GAMERS KNOW THEIR COVER ART!
First off let me say Happy New Year! I know 2016 wasn't the greatest year for a lot of people, at least that's the vibe scrolling through Facebook seems to give me, but it's a brand new year and that means a fresh start for us all! Now let's play shall we!
If this is your first time allow me to explain how this works. I will post a picture of a video game's cover art almost entirely blacked out. Each picture after that will slowly reveal more of the cover art and it's your job to figure out what game it is with as little of the picture as possible. The cover art can be from any system, any game, past, present, and even future if it has yet to release. I look forward to hearing how well (or poorly) you did in the comments. Sound good? Good. Let's begin shall we!

ANSWER: Horizon Zero Dawn
SCORE:
1-4: You will unite all the tribes in Horizon and discover all of the game's secrets!
5-8: You will purge all defective machines from the world!
9-12: You will wander the world and never discover why it is the way it is.
13-15: You probably only play XBOX.
It's a little difficult to base the score system on a game that has almost nothing revealed about its story. I did what I could.
Horizon Zero Dawn is a mere two months away and I could not be more excited. It's easy to be hyped for a game that has a history, but it can be very difficult for a brand new IP to build excitement before launch. It's understandable why so many developers are afraid to try something new. Spending too much time and money on a game that fails can mean the end of the road for a development team. Guerrilla Games is not only creating a new IP, they are going all in on an entirely new genre they have never developed before. Killzone was the kind of franchise that seemed like a fairly safe bet when it came out. Shooters were blowing up on the PS2 and XBOX. Nowadays shooters are just all to common. I for one am thrilled to see Guerrilla changing it up. I have such high hopes for this game! Here's hoping we are all happy with the results!
I thought it may be fun to start a new year with a new IP. I hope you all have a fantastic 2017. Thanks for playing and let me know how you did in the comments below!
