I like Aloy’s personality, I find her to be empathic, has a dry sense of humor that only works with context and she’s driven to know where she comes from and why she was shunned by the Nora tribe. Also I didn’t mind that the dialog options didn’t really change anything in the story, because is well written, but I agree that such system should exist only if it is going to make a difference, most of those dialogues could’ve been cutscenes.

Aloy only had Rost to talk to for her first 19 years of existence. Imagine only having Rost, a soldier who doesn't crack jokes and is so serious about everything, raising you. No one else. It will make anyone feel "boring" Kassandra at least, was a misthios. Her job half the time is talking to other people. The forbidden west actually gives Aloy the chance to interact with different people and you can see her starting to talk more, chuckling more and having heartfelt dialogue. (I say chuckling as I still have not seen nor heard her laugh). Give her time with other people. She'll evolve eventually. Especially since she's about to interact with a child (Varl's kid)

Just a thought and without spoiling much, Aloy's personnality being a little shalow is tied to her origin and that she was shunned from what she considered her people. Even her father figure wouldn't tell her about where she came from, that's also what made her more curious

Also the main characters personality is often meant to be shallow, because the player is more able to fill it it and relate to the character more. Not to say they shouldn’t have personality, but it’s a development choice, they know the audience.

I kinda disagree with her not having personality tho. She's very curious about things (I believe the questions portions of dialogues are her being inquisitive) but she also doesnt waste time and doesnt take bull crap for an answer since the whole game her only actual end goal is to know more about her roots like her mother, her origin etc. I'm not done with the game yet but her interactions with Erend are, well, interesting.

I played Zero Dawn soon after the Complete Edition came out and I completely fell in love with it. Even though your dialogue choices don’t really matter much for the most part, I’ve always said it was the best BioWare game that BioWare never made. I got 100% completion and the only thing I hated about it was the Hunting Grounds. Everything else hit me just in the right spot and it became one of my favorite games of all time. I also thought all the side content was worth doing too, which is a big rarity in games for me. The only other time I’ve done all the side quests and collectibles in games was the Arkham series and Spider-Man 2018. The Banuk figurines in particular was my favorite collectible; there was just something about the simple-yet-fun climbing puzzles, and I wished there were more of them to get. And Waterlogged from the Frozen Wilds DLC is my absolute favorite sidequest in all of gaming. I cried so hard with the story in that quest. It’s just SO damn good. Concrete Beach Party - best band in the world.

Aloy has her potential to be a great protagonist - as for me she's got actually cute sense of humour (I love these occasional dry remarks:D), she is intelligent and determined and she is neither macho nor "amma gonna loose it" character, but I agree that Guerilla could have put more effort in the tiny details, like changing Aloy's attitude during dialogues (maybe give players opportunity to carve it a bit themselves) and extend her personality bit further so You could sort of "feel for her".

Horizon is a great game that doesn't overstay its welcome like most Ubisoft games. It's more of an Action-adventure game with light RPG mechanics and progression rather than a fully fledged RPG. Your dialogue choices are absolutely just dressing, a way to express her personality rather than form it, because Aloy is already an "established" character with her own motives and beliefs.

Zero Dawn was one of the first PS4 games I bought, and one I actually bought the console specifically for. I love the world building and completely unique take on the post-post apocalyptic setting. HZD is one of the few open world games where I tried to collect every datapoint in the world . . . whether its some Old World advertising spam or people lamenting the Faro Plague or just some news report about the automation recession, they all add up to some truly incredible world building. I have one of the Collector's Editions for Forbidden West on pre order, and thats not something I do frequently. Last one was Witcher 3. But as someone who also bought a PS4 Pro just to replay the game and one who currently plays in on the PC at 4K Ultra settings, seeing this gorgeous game running in potato settings hurts the soul. I know GPUs are pricey right now, but bro, you gotta do better than a GTX1650.

Short answer: fuck yes. Its such an amazing game. Highly reccomend. Sure it doesnt look amazing, but it plays a dream. Also I like how each component can be shot off and effects the machine differently. Shooting the eye is a critical for some, canisters explode, engines blow up, some parts affect its movement or abilities. It has a low beginner curve but a damn high mastery if you take the time. You can either go stealth or guns blazing, really up to you. 100% contender for the best game ive ever played, above all the GOW games. Also the spear combat being shallow is the point. She hasnt trained with it, so youre gonna suck with zero preparation or practice Also a word of advice, dont do the drunk slob's side quest with his sister thing. The end fight is dumb and aint worth it. Just no.

Put 41 hours into the game, though by the end I did feel kind of underwhelmed by the lack of side content once the main game was complete. Probably because my ability to stay in one game for hundreds of hours like I did for Skyrim when it first came out is dwindling as there are just way more games trying to keep my attention these days.

The combat feels fluid and the battle in motion makes it super exciting, I'm just sorry I did not knew this game earlier 😂😂 my bf played when it came out back in the day, the Forbidden West and already finished the latest DLC of burning shores on PS5, I don't have a console but I hope one day they make a pc version of Forbidden West and the Burning Shores DLC so I can enjoy as well. I am huge fan of technology and futuristic concepts and mixing that with the tribal world is just the perfect combination 🥰 the amount of detail on every machine beast is just amazing, graphically I can't get enough of it and so far as gameplay goes it feels very good and fluid, unlike some new games I tried were the combat has a heavy feeling regarding controls and the physics of motion feel unfinished or buggy. They really did well on Horizon Zero Dawn and considering is an old game it really surprised me.

But it's a brilliant game and I had no idea it was buggy at release, it seems flawless now. For me though these is one tiny missed opportunity. I hate killing defenseless animals in games so the idea that all the animals were robots? Cool! Hunting without feeling bad. Then they spoil it somewhat by making you kill rabbits and foxes just to upgrade the amount of stuff you can carry and to make potions. There is no way around this (just buying bigger bags etc from vendors).

Decided to play it, knowing absolutely nothing about the game or the story. This game changed my life. I have red hair and green eyes, I’m a girl, and I’ve always been a loner. Seeing someone in a game who was everything I wanted to be and who I related to so hard made me so happy. The story is intricate and keeps me excited. Even the feeling of stalking a watcher and getting the win is so amazing. I was surprised that it was made five years ago, I thought just was from two or three!

Also, Cassandra had people to grow up with, and a multitude of people to grow up with and gain a solid personality from. Aloy grew up with Rost, who was very stoic and didn’t make jokes often. Almost everyone else she saw refused to even speak to her, or curse her, or make a chided comment to her as she walked by. Her personality is bitter and shallow because she isn’t used to people wanting to speak to her because for most of her life it was against the law to ( which is so fucked for a child’s emotional growth) and because she learned to be more defensive.

Because for the male characters I can list many. Every other side quest is like: an awesome woman needs some help with saving her inept male family member or be saved from an evil one. If someone can point me to a character who is a female and a bad person in this game please do, because I don't know if I am delusional of it was intentional.

I also just love that once you make it past the first chapter, you are free to explore basically the entire world, including late and endgame areas. Killing machines and bandit camps is really fun, especially given the large variety that comes from the selection of different weapons. All in all, I would definitely reccommend this game!

HZD blowed me away in the mid of 2021 as a 20E offer for pc not knowing anything about it. i was just triggered by a dated youtube trailer which made me aware that this game was a 2017 playstation release. at least i fall in love with it. on a 4k oled TV it is visually, story wise and gameplay wise in its own league of non bloated, unique releases and for me a perfectly balanced and entertaining video pc game experience out of the box. it hit me by surprise and was an overall overwhelming entertaining experience because i was probably in the right mood at that time. i still play it from time to time. definitely an all time top 10 favorite of mine. thanks to sony for offering it on pc. so my vote: this is a game is not perfect but it has all what a game needs to fall in love with it if you are open for it. i like your video because it describes the game including its uniqueness (and flaws) regarding aloy (and vanasha abs and so on). this makes the game unique, even hilarious and lovable in an enjoyable way but far away from perfect. a try to compare HZD with other games has just a limited value. i love it but it seems some lost souls even hate it :)

I just recently picked up *Horizon: Zero Dawn - Complete Edition* to play on my PS5. Haven't even popped the disc in yet, as I'm focusing on RDR2 at the moment. I was Xbox One last gen, so I'm buying tons of PS4 games, as they're compatible. Just wanted to check out some gameplay, as it was kind of an impulse buy. I'm looking forward to Zero Dawn. I may also get Forbidden West at some point.

if its on PC or PS5 absolutly as then you get to play it as it was ment to be, not just great but bloody fantastic, i am playing it now and it still stands tall amomgst the best of todays efforts. its the world and the lighting and the combat that is the star for me the story is ok and Aloy is a great female hero but its the attention to detail that stands out. the makeing of HZD is on youtube by noclip i strongly recomend watching it as you get to see how it all came together.

Awesome to see you covering this game. This game helped me through the pandemic, the combat and world building was awesome to me and scratched a bit of that Mass Effect itch, story wise, environment wise and combat wise. Course it has issues but this is Guerrilla Games first attempt at an third person shooter (Killzone creators) and open world at that.

@@bevanmcnicholl2525 dopey & unimaginative comment. The story is highly innovative & unique. The player gets given clues as to who Aloy is right from the start, once the penny drops a second play through becomes much more interesting. The concept that drives the story is highly original.

I was really careful in the beginning but now I attack everything xD I am currently 30lvl, perks for harvesting resources on max(paid off) aaaaand still a lot ahead of me :) i9900K and 3060ti gives 100fps on qHD.

I’m running a 1650, but definitely not needing to run as low as you are. With FSR 2.0, I can run a stable 60 FPS when lowering some settings. Hell, I can even lock it at 30 and use FSR to go to 4k, but loading muddy textures is the norm then. But yeah, amazing looking game however you run it. A lot of me even likes how it looks when you run potato settings

The tripcaster is so much better in hzd compared to hfw. In the sequel the ropes don't stretch as far,you can't place as many of them as you could in the first game,(yes I know there is an upgrade you can get to increase the amount of traps you can place but in the original you could place 6 without needing to upgrade anything) and you can walk into your own trap and set it off,which once again didn't happen in hzd. Ok I'm done now, just wanted to have a rant

I absolutely love HZD. I still play it from time to time - it's almost like coming home in a gaming sense. Sadly, this feeling is not reflected in the newer Forbidden West game. I bought it on it's day of release with high anticipation, but have been terribly disappointed. In fact, 2 years on and I've still not completed it. Nothing to do with the level of difficulty, but it's more the problem of the storyline & side quests being ultra boring. Despite the hype of promised 'improved' graphics, I find it lacking & sub-standard in comparison to Zero Dawn. The time jump from Dawn to West is supposed to be 6 months, but those months have really taken a toll on Aloy. Going from a 18/19 year old athlete to a 30 something slightly overweight grump is not a great look. All the side quests fall into the same format. Find a thing or person, killing machines en-route, usually involving climbing. What happened to using your brains? It made a nice change in The Frozen Wilds to solve puzzles instead of fighting constantly. I was hoping for more... I doubt I'll ever play Forbidden West again, but you won't hold me back from Zero Dawn. Ever.

I played this at the start of 2023, I think I got it with some AMD offer with my hardware. It was the best game I played in years. I don't find it very replayable, but the combat is rarely frustrating and quite easy for the most part on normal difficulty which was cool. Takes some trying but not annoying and the fighting mechanics are pretty easy to learn as you play. The main character is kinda bland and weird and I also did not identify AT ALL, otherwise pretty cool story, I hope there will still be good games to come for Pc.

I like the combat overall, but since enemy weak points aren’t always in sight or visible, I feel like there should have been more options for dodging enemy attacks other than just rolling. I don’t even know what else they could do but I often had the feeling like I couldn’t significantly hurt an enemy at the moment and needed to reposition myself, but during that time I’m just a sitting duck. Dodge rolling didn’t always get me out of harm’s way so I always wished I had more options, skill based options, on avoiding damage

Most poignant considering the passing of Lance Riddick who passed just last week at the considered early of today age of 60 - March 2023. First saw him in the superb police procedural Bosch with Titus Welliver. Where also the woman who played the Borg Queen in Star Trek Picard has also just passed again at a relatively young age. 3rd play through like with other gamers looking to refresh themselves with HZD prior to playing the next gen game. HZD graphics are superb as is the game world, when this was released in 2017 it was ahead of its day. Well worth a re run or a new play through for gamers new to HZD You will not be disappointed 😃👍
