100% agree the back story of zero dawn was really good and the main story was average at best. Probably why I didn't like forbidden west as much.

Yes, this is true. With ZD you were basically being told two stories at once. The present day, and the distant past. And the very first playable section is a teaser for that distant past, and is instrumental in building interest for the rest of the game.
FW isn't able to do the same, so we mostly have just the present day story. And it's a lot less interesting, as you say.
But also FW's plot and writing is just generally terrible (sorry to keep on).

The most visually impressive game I’ve played and one of the best game worlds. Can only imagine how good this could look on PC.

Looking forward to it. Lots of good reviews about it from members in here

I loved it. So much so I did everything on the map. That's why I think I will enjoy Forbidden West more than some say they did.

Same here, the beginning in the cave at the start of HZD sucked me in big time, one of the best openings in a game for me, ever.

PR should not be marketing unlocked fps and UWA as "PC Features" These should be the baseline features of every PC game not needing any extra marketing.

There isn't much to say about PC features, so they've gotta pump those specs up!
It's a bit grasping at straws though. Like when jobs advertise 'pension scheme' as a benefit.

So did I... except the DLC which was bloody hard and I was burned out by then.
I really enjoyed HZD and did everything I could. Almost nothing bad to say about it.
FW is... not in the same leagueI'm really sorry!
I think I did the DLC out of order, about lvl 13 iirc, which made it... Interesting
The very first monster of the DLC whooped my butt repeatedlyI think I did the DLC out of order, about lvl 13 iirc, which made it... Interesting
And by that point I was steamrolling everything in the main game.It was such a massive jump in difficulty that I just couldn't be bothered. Had already more than got my money's worth by that point.
e: From memory, didn't they mostly increase the difficulty by just making everything immune to your best weapons? So status attacks did almost nothing, ropecaster didn't work, etc, etc.

Cdkeys was £40 for it. Based on all the negativity in here I think I will pass. I have way too many games to play now anyway, so will wait and pick it up on the summer sales unless they drop it to under £35 for release.

True. There isn't much to show and is not like they're going to add full RT or something. Just port it to PC and get the cash!
