By Daz Go To PostFW is an objectively better game in every imaginable metric.Climbing was an upgrade in freedom, but such a downgrade in controls that it ended up worse overall imo
Story is a more subjective preference. ZD had the novel moments you just can't redo - the whole Project Zero Dawn reveal was kind of nuts.
They managed to make the climbing worse. Which is still baffling to me. Just a hodge podge of terrible climbing climbing mechanics, clunky, visually unidentifiable ledges and slow af.
FW is definitely the better game( a lot of fat though) but the story in ZD peaked at the end so it left a better taste in my mouth.
I vastly prefer the map of Forgidden West just for the beaches and junlges and the San Francisco island. Doesn't feel that much bigger than the first game's either.
I checked out of the story in FW early on. Shit was horrible. Complete opposite of the first game, all the clan uprising shit was interesting but then it focused on CW presents Space Lesbians for 30 hours. Why even hire lance Reddick and Angela Bassett?
Also Aloy has 0 charisma.

Aloy had a spark when she started.
Thinking on it more.... Aloy was worse than Nu Tomb Raider by the end of FW lol

By FortuneFaded Go To PostClimbing in games peaked with Uncharted 4.Ass Creed 2
The premise starts so well too, the interrogation of Hades, confrontation with Sylens, and conversation with Gaia about the signal's origins is hype. I was positive they were going to nail it again
By Laboured Go To PostFeel like the plot and particularly the voice acting is going to be very bad.Bad plot and VA...in a videogame?!
Signalis bought btw I like twists and atmo but I'm not a big horror guy
I can handle shooting as long as it's not fps am I ok
Last Slaent indie rec really came through so what the hell

By Daz Go To PostNah, Aloy is a good character still - she suffers from that bioware chosen one syndrome.Just curious what is good about her? She seems fairly generic to me
I like Aloy! She's tenacious, compassionate, and three steps ahead
I just don't think FW's story soared to the heights of ZW, which I think has one of the best stories in games. Still competently executed maybe until the very very end. I love the Kotallo stuff, for example

She's really a jackass in FW. All that underdog spunky charm is gone and instead its "no one made you come out here and potentially die for me".
By Not Go To PostAnd Alva! Alva rulesnah how much is GG paying you?
Her companions are all C and D tier at best. Horizon 3 in desperate need of a stronger cast, and it’s very disappointing to say that.
By DY_nasty Go To PostI liked the hunter simp girl you get to simp brieflyTalanah? Better in the first one for sure. They really couldn't come up with anything for her to do but travel cross country for some action

By Kuma Go To PostIs the new Star Ocean good? Last Hope left a sour tasteI'd play every indie in my backlog before touching it
By data Go To PostDamning words from the only star ocean fan I knowterrorism
Star ocean 4: til the end of time
Think that was the title of that game, let me look it up if it appreciated or deprecated in value when I sold it for $20 years ago
I miss buying random games from thrift stores

Finished Signalis. Got this ending: Memory. Gonna look up story theories and such. Crazy ass game.
This shit easily sits with the best of the genre.

DualSense eXtremeRate mod complete, gonna join Vapes in recommending it.
Feels amazing for a relatively cheap add-on, the buttons are just the right amount of clicky, there's no play or anything, fits like a glove. The other thing I was slightly worried about is the custom bottom part of the shell. So far so good, the rubber seems of reasonable quality, it's very grippy.
The two mini-paddles would've sufficed for my needs, I doubt the inside buttons will get much use, but it's nice to have the option.
I am now Ragnarok-ready.

think i am close, considering how long i heard the game is... that or i have been a really slow idiot, which is very possible. it is really really good.
the one thing that annoys me a bit, is how the prompts for going through doors/down a ladder or whatever doesnt always quickly appear. feels like you gotta be positioned right for a few of them. that is really the only negative though

I def feel you. I've gotten tagged a bunch, because of it. That and the aiming can use a little adjusting. It might be because I'm bad, but I found myself targeting some enemies that I didn't want to, in the later mobs. Edit: If it's a downed enemy, I think it shouldn't prioritize it. That would be my adjustment.
By Zabojnik Go To PostHow long did it / is it taking you two? Installing it right nao.
I played on normal. My stats:
Game time: 10:03:02.90
Active play time: 9:24:33.60
Pathfinder stuff
Specced my man Kestoglyr so every melee attack is a touch attack, so he gets 6 guaranteed hits a round on everything. Boss DC checks cheesed out lmao.
Also Drezen is now the City of the Dead after my MC, Lich King Barry Bars, ordered everyone to be killed and reanimated to smash the demons at the start of Act 5. Seelah couldn't hang with my bullshit so she left the party.

oh i guess i am not that close then. i read 6 hours somewhere, and that's about my gametime right now.
i am in fleshy world jumping through fleshy holes all the time right now. some real silent hill stuff here, creatures feel more SH than anything after SH4.

While somebody might have gotten that time, I wouldn't say that's the average. I can imagine someone else getting a similar time, but it will only be because they didn't pay attention. I'll leave it at that. lol
Yea, that whole area is just, nowhere. SH vibes off the charts.

I'm sorry, what?
By DY_nasty Go To Postfirst playthrough demonic as fuck lol i respect it
Lich is the perfect "I'm tired of you all" mythic lol. Party members want to leave? So what bruv I've got a squad of zombies to replace you lol.
Pretty sure I'm gonna love Signalis. Backlog growing tho fuck work
By Zabojnik Go To PostLooks nice!
By MonadL Go To PostCombat and scooting around with DUMA is really fun but everything else is kinda whatever. Definition of a wait until it’s $30 type of game.So another Valkyrie Elysium lol. Honestly I'm all for square flooding the market with AA experiments that do like one thing right, but yeah not for 60.

The depth of mechanics and gameplay is one thing, but they the story branches is another level too.
