The texts are always so good to read, even though some might turn out to be bland, many of these are really great. Ads might be boring, there's one where a bot tries to scam someone and fails very bad, and then there's the "last girls in the world" who flipped a sign to screw over their boss. Who dies due to that. There's also some FARO complaint which two companies are deliberately scheduled right next to each other so that they buy more machines.

And then there's the corruptors blending up dolphins.

I’m trying desperately to get 100% on this game. Other than maxing out the characters to level 20, I’ve done it all.

Side note: Teersa’s the worst.

Any ideas? Is my game (Switch) glitched?

I really hope he'll be in Horizon 3 (obviously he will be, given the DLC events). His FW sidequest Heart response really made me tear up. 🥲

Has anyone else found that the Forbidden West storms are always just off in the next valley? I haven't managed to get caught in one so far - is there a location where you can actually be immersed in one?

There was a specific song that played when you opened the map in Zero Dawn. I loved it. Sometimes I would bring the map screen up just to hear it. It’s not In Forbidden West and I miss it. That’s all. 🤷🏻‍♂️

As someone who prefers physical games, I was really disappointed that Sony made their announcement on discontinuing physical games in 2028. Given how Guerilla is currently working on Hunters Gathering, is it too much to hope that Horizon 3 could be released before Sony stops making physical games? I really don’t want to buy any more PS games if I can’t have a physical copy, it’s why I bought the launch day physical copy of Ghost of Yotei instead of the collector’s edition bc the latter didn’t have a physical disc, only a download code. And especially with Sony no longer allowing future first party titles to have a delayed release on Steam doesn’t help either.

Dreaded Encounter in the arena.....

I dont even have a split second to think, that Dreadwing is literally just spinning and spamming and spinning and stomping and spinning.

I am stun locked into oblivion just to get up to literally go into another stun lock animation and repeat and repeat.

I.....hate....this.....game mode with all my existence, even on story I am being locked into oblivion.

Yes I beat it, but good god, who play tested this? The best Souls players on the planet?

Then there is that "feature" to where you can litter the area with traps having 00:-1.000 for a timer.

This arena is seriously a joke and I am only there for 4 gear pieces. Im not there because I want to be crammed into a confined space with machines that clip through the environment or stay underground for 30 seconds or stay in the air above where I can aim for a minute.

I seriously hate how this game pits you against MASSIVE machines in a WIDE OPEN AREA WITH NO COVER AT ALL, or a ridiculously small space with a timer and stun locks to boot.

Not fun...... not fun......

I will take my Nora armour and never set foot in that arena again, just like that Hippodrome in AC origins.

Just as a side note:

If the clan actually watched Aloy take down a Dreadwing in 3 minutes, a Tremotusk in 2 minutes and a SlitherFang in less then 1 minute.... they are literally looking at a God. Every other NPC or character cant even hold their own against a burrower without Aloys help.

So who da fuck said 3 minutes to kill a plethora of machines is a good challange, if the clans could actually do that within the time constraints, why the fuck do they even need Aloys help if they can kill a Tremotusk in 3 minutes flat?

The more I replay this game (which I do often), the more unsettling the entire premise becomes to me. The first few times I played I didn’t really get all the characters saying how awful it was, but I think collecting the data and realizing the whole scope of it all has slowly changed my mind. I’ve seen this discussed a time or two here, and most people defending it (which is also most people) argue that whether or not it was ethical or moral or any of that doesn’t matter, because it was the only possible way for life and/or humanity to survive and have a future, and because the only alternative was extinction.

My problem with that is the entire argument depends upon the underlying assumption that “life,” whatever form that takes, is inherently better than no life. Existence of organic beings, and humans specifically, is inherently good, and that the existence of humanity is not just neutral but inherently better than the lack of existence, and therefore worth any cost.

But why? If no life exists, would that be inherently bad? There are endless planets in the universe or even a few rare habitats on earth where no biological life exists, and that’s not good or bad or moral or immoral - it just is. The mere existence of life, or the lack of it, doesn’t have an inherent value. It is amoral.

So if we don’t just assume out of hand that “life” > “no life” and therefore is worth whatever it takes to preserve or maintain, it really becomes a pretty horrible thing. Yes, everyone was going to die either way. That’s true in real life too. The most any of us can hope for is to die on our own terms, and that’s what PZD denied the existing humans. How many of those soldiers, if given the choice, would have chosen to die fighting an unwinnable war over being with their families? How many of those families (like the wife we hear recordings from at USRC) would have rather died with their loved ones instead of alone? How many people might have preferred the route of the betas we learn about in Aloy’s childhood ruins, if given the chance to make an informed decision?

Worst case scenario in current-day: they suffer and die horribly for a lie, whereas the worst case for the future humans we meet in the game is just…nonexistence. Not suffering, because you can’t suffer if you never exist in the first place - just not existing at all. Denying agency and increasing suffering of existing humans is not better or preferable to the non-existence of hypothetical future humans.

*To clarify, while I find the entire thing wholly immoral and indefensible, I also have a lot of empathy for the people involved. The concept of extinction is probably unfathomable for most people, especially when it’s imminent and not just hypothetical, and I can’t pretend to understand what facing it must feel like. I don’t want to judge them too harshly as individuals. I mean this mostly as a discussion of the overarching concept and not to excoriate the actual (fictional) people.

Except Ted Faro. Fuck Ted Faro.

I tagged my 1000 Hours mastery video on YouTube, and asked you if it was the best combat you've seen, many of you enjoyed it, some of you said there need to be more fighting with the machines, as in, don't take them down in a super optimized way, let them fight, prove consistency over longer lasting fight, I took that as a challenge for myself, nerfed my gear a bit (in some encounters a lot) removed the "Reticle" and some other other HUD Elementals to add the more cleaner look.

And here is my new creation!!

A Cinematic version to go alongside the other video

What do you think about this one Hunters? ♥️🏹🔥

Can you rate the combat encounters?

1. After you unlock overrides, do we start seeing more Apex versions so that the overrides don’t work anymore?
2. What’s up with monsters having superhero speed, power and the ability to break laws of physics. Like jumping at you from a mile away and being on you at Mach 1 speed. Also underground monsters phasing through solid rock to get at you.
3. Why sooooo many options to everything? Levels of healing, traps, arrows. I’m surprised we don’t get an option for “Advanced Rocks”. For a game with very fast paced action, these multitudes of options really slow the game down.
4. Who picked the camera angle for this game? Do I need to see from Aloy’s behind height all the time? Did someone sell the idea of always seeing the beautiful sky? Really a pain when fighting or in tight spaces.
5. Why does the sun and night change so frequently and fast? The amount of darkness in the game, just because is a pain. I’m sure it was so people can see the gold grip option lines in things, but couldn’t we have done better?

Ok. Now back to playing to finish this game and be done lol

I poured easily 200 hours into both of these games combined. It has been all I played for months (keep in mind I had work travel in between.)

Now I just don't know what to do next. I am not a completionist by nature and generally do not replay games. I do not know what other games to play. I am unsure of the benefits of NG+ and if that would be pique my interest enough or if I should wait a while and replay.

What have others done? For those that have done NG+, what excites you about it?

And for those that moved on to other games...what sort of games might you recommend?

Throughout both games people hire her to kill machines and humans and they pay her for it. True she is selective and generally has a code of ethics/honor but that doesn't change the fact that her main source of income is being a killer for hire. Though she repeatedly insists to quest givers she's not a blade for hire for some reason when 90% of the quests involve people hiring her to do exactly that.

I already beat the game and i beat the dlc but this was like a year or two ago. In don't remember how I got into the burning shores or even if it's possible to return. Wanted to explore a little but Google didn't help me get back. It said something about Tilda's mansion but I'm there and nothings happening.

I played the first game, which I loved, then started on number 2 and traveled to Forbidden West. Did someone let their little brother take over because my god, is this game made bad. It’s tedious, the camera is terrible and the fighting is clunky and worthless.
Before I used to get into it with monsters, now I find fighting to be a pain. The system makes it harder, and sniping from a tree or mountain is plain boring.
I wanted a third game, but if this is the trajectory they are going, please stop now and go make a mobile game with puzzles. Or maybe create a “Vista” that shows what Horizon used to be.

Not unless Guerrilla suddenly announces that they've secretly been working on it for the past couple years, and it's coming out before Sony's stupid-ass "no more discs" policy goes into effect. Shame, I was really looking forward to it.

Fuck you, Sony.

Ok guys I want to buy the remastered Horizon saga.

Which one should I start with and, most importantly, is it worth it?

Thanks a lot.

just bought Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered while on sale from steam but after clearing the child section(Didn't notice any lag / stuttering) and getting to the Adult Section, my game started to Stutters when moving & Looking around / Aiming(Not as Bad as Walking), Tried fixing By changing my setting from stuff i saw online but it didn't change anything(Maybe just a Small amount better). I Check that my Drivers are up to date so i don't think that's the problem(Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER (6 GB), Intel(R) UHD Graphics / Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10400 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz) I don't Know a lot about computers so this might be different.

The franchise is currently heavily focused on 3040–3041, but as we know, there’s a lot of content before Aloy’s timeline that could be made playable. Also, what title would you pick? For instance:

• Operation: Enduring Victory (Horizon: Enduring Victory)
• The proto-tribe era in the 24th century
• The rise of the tribes in the 25th century
• The Clan Wars in the 28th century
• Sylens’ youth, probably around 25 years ago, assuming he is about 45–50 currently (Horizon: Sylens)
• Rost during his Death-Seeker days (Horizon: Rost or Horizon: Death-Seeker).
• Far Zenith’s story on Sirius and the rise of Nemesis. Given that the 77 colonists spent most of their time in VR, the story might not be too rich, but we still don’t know all the details surrounding the colony and Nemesis. (Horizon: Nemesis)
• The Quen tribe’s origin and expansion in Asia (Horizon: The Great Delta)
