The only GOW I played was 3 on the PS3 and I was probably doing it wrong as it seemed like alot of button mashing for the bosses. That also had decent reviews.
Wouldn't mind trying it out for a bit as it does look epic.

One of the reviews I read did mention how the previous games were guilty of button mashing, whereas this one is a lot more tactical. Dunno how true that is though.

Holy smoke. The game automatically detected I had an HDR TV; and I selected resolution (4k) over performance (1080p but higher frame rates). So, this game is even better with visuals than HZD! Granted, I might not have set up HZD properly ito of viewing, bit so far the graphics on this game are mind-blowing!

For sure. I'm not knocking what you see. But if you get to the time you are ok with splurging for some extra eye candy - well, this game is a poster child for it.

I actually have the Xbox One X. Have booted it up max 4 times. I found that the its 4K player really didn't do much better than my LG OLED up scaling Blu-Rays. Believe it or not.

Then again, being a tech-noob, I may have done something wrong.

Edit: what I meant to say, is that playing 4K movies on the xbox one x did little in comparison to playing a blu-ray movie that was upscaled.

I was very, very disappointed.

My friend had the same issue with the Xbox one, not the wow factor you expected

LG's upscaling engine is very good, so it could have been harder for you to tell the difference...
