** Official Horizon: Forbidden West Complete Edition Thread **

Really it was the backstory of Horizon Zero Dawn that was so good.

The actual story wasn't all that.

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 just hope its not as buggey as zero dawn. It took them 10 patches to stop it crashing to desktop.

I need to give HZD another crack of the whip before Forbidden West comes out, I've got 22 hours in HZD but each time I give it a run I get bored at around the 7-8 hour mark and end up stopping.

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.

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 league I'm really sorry!

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.

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 repeatedly 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.

loved HZD but definitely not going to pre-order
i never pre-order but bucked that rule and did so for C:S2...regretted that decision lol
once bitten twice shy

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!
