Another tip for if you want to pick up resources faster is to go into the general settings and turn of the animation for picking up resources. Safes sooo much time and just picks up resources like sticks and berries much faster. Especially when trying to do so in combat.
10. Turn on quick swap for weapons by tapping L1 in accessibility settings 9. Motion aiming option in accessibility by tilting controller 8. Get the triple shot skill in hunter tree as early as possible 7. You only need fast travel packs if you're not traveling from a campfire 6. Avoid drowning by using a fast travel pack, it'll reset the oxygen meter 5. Change the weather by reloading the game if you don't like the rain or something 4. You can rearrange, remove, add, etc. the quick crafting menu by holding down and hitting change 3. If you hate spamming R3 focus you can go to accessibility settings and change to climbing annotations always on 2. Completing side quests can add to the dialogue of following missions 1. You can put your weapon away by opening weapon wheel with L1 and then hitting R3

Currently playing through with my mom. She 100% Horizon Zero Dawn 3 times, myself just once. We have been really enjoying the game so far. These tips are going to help us immensely. Tysm!
@@RNTV my mom lets me play games but she says she doesn’t like them and never tries them. Same with my dad. Except he HATES video games and doesn’t even wanna talk about them even though when he was in the military he played Call of Duty: Black Ops with his buddies.
I am 12 hours in, and it feels like i just began. The increased diversity of ranged weapons is insane, the melee combat is SOOOOO much better. The difficulty has been cranked up a bit. the new machines are, absolutely amazing. And my god the cutscenes have been polished very well. Anyone who went past "embassy" (dont wanna spoil) knows what i mean. Job frikking well done Guerilla games.
@@davidg2927 I started on ultra hard because I played the original on ultra hard and was fine. This time around it’s totally kicking my ass… I went back and turned it down to hard and I find that’s a pretty good balance
Something I found fun and subtle is sometimes people actually comment on what you do in town, like jumping onto machines, climbing on things and having your weapon out, or even interacting with the environment. In rare cases, Aloy actually RESPONDS to some things. Made me laugh out loud when I pulled open a pull-caster surface that was inside a shop's area and the merchant was like "Do you do that EVERYWHERE you go?" and then Aloy responded: "Sorry..."
You can also go into settings and turn on what’s called Thalassophobia Relief, which allows you to breathe underwater indefinitely regardless of story progression. Also improves underwater ambient visibility. You’re welcome.
@@thashiffy6952 I am having a blast, 20 hours in and I just met the bad guys 'cause I can't help but loot everything and killing all the machines I see, like I did in the first game.

It was free and could be done from anywhere like a few hours in the game so this part of the video felt wrong to me. My bad.

No cap in James rap dog or soul’s for that matter this game is ridiculous on ps5. And this truly is how a sequel is done I was not that satisfied with the first game but after playing just a few missions in this, I am astounded.

Fast travel pack explanation/drowning hack, reloading to change weather, and crafting menu for organizing quick select wheel... All points I've not yet seen in other videos, and not yet encountered in the first few hours of HFW. This is all much appreciated 👍
Honestly, i never had a gripe with the fast travel pack concept from the first game. I think personally it added just a liiiitle bit more immersion to the game, and sometimes made you forego fast traveling. I often found that those moments where i WAS dissuaded from fast traveling a shorter distance, i ended up coming across a unique encounter , getting lost trying to hunt for an upgrade i wanted, or discover a random quest that was somewhat in the direction of where i wanted to go. I thought it was a clever choice to encourage players not to fast travel as much, makes you appreciate the game world a little more.
I always had like 20 -25 just from looting supply crates early in the HZD. Then, about 20 hours in, I decided to get the golden pack and sell all my other ones for shards
My biggest gripe was not getting the mount sooner. Doing a spear strike from horseback never gets old. Then, having the ability to Call (a New) Mount, meant you didn't have to heal them. While using the Mount to melee was never really accurate, it was really good to knock down an enemy after you got detected
Another protip: If you are tired of spamming the focus to find items to pick up, turn on "Interactive Markers" in the settings. And if you also swap focus mode inputs, then it's exactly like the first game.
This was one of the first things that I did. Coming off from ZD into Forbidden West, I had a lot of changes to go through, but was relieved I could at least change it so that the focus resembled the previous game.
This is why I always immediately scroll through the settings before starting any game. There are usually so many handy settings built for assessiblity. One I will always change if allowed is changing QTE's to hold rather than tap. As one that lays down when playing this helps tremendously.
I spent about 30 minutes in settings and testing before I picked the first medicinal plant. Mostly to remove as much HUD elements as possible and to compare performance and fidelity mode. Now I am really enjoying the game and I don't wanna watch any videos. Came here just to comment :)
@Dubspore The good news is you are not locked out of one mode by choosing the other. In general, performance mode should be your default. But if you come across an awesome looking location, and believe me, there are many in this game, you can get rid of potential dangers and turn on quality mode to see them in their full glory.
Motion aiming general tip: use analog sticks to get the targeting reticle to the general area of what you want to shoot, then slight motions of the controller to fine tune your shot.
Absolutely agree, if you can get used to it, it's great for "fine tuning" your aim that can be hard on analog sticks without lowering the sens a lot. I love the addition of motion aiming
If you're tired of smashing R3 every five seconds to scan for item pickups, there is a setting in the UI called "HUD Visibility". If you go into Custom settings and change "Interaction Markers" to "Always On" you will never have to press R3 again unless you're specifically scanning/tagging robots and camps.
@@woody_you_want i think horizon fw had a way bigger budget after the success of the original and was in development for many years that's why it looks so good now therefore Ghost 2 should be godlike both in terms of visuals and overall improvements as a sequel if suckerpunch take their time and really focus on it.

Having a blast so far - got the middle collector's edition with the Tremortusk and played about 5 hours last night. It's so amazing and living up to every single expectation I've had since the announcement
Really do hope they add a “automatic pickup” option like what the Last of Us 2 had. Cause I think my triangle button is going to blow up after a playthrough or 2
My gripe about climbing is that she'll pause and stand on a ledge I just climbed for longer than I'd like. It's a clear flat plain in front, but it's like it's still looking for a path upward when I'm ordering pressing forward. It happens too often for my taste. It doesn't detract from the overall experience, and it's minor, but makes it feel a little less polished
The climbing is the most annoying thing in this game. You can want her to go straight up and she’s just all over the place. Sometimes she won’t move when there’s clearly a climb point near as well. It’s so annoying when you are trying to get a bloom and she wants to go every way but the way you want lol.
@@JeanGray218 for sure! There are some climbing spots where she stands, that lock her from jumping off, only to other available climbing spots. So you have to walk off the edge to jump and glide down. It's awkward. I did beat the game and mostly enjoyed it. The glitches did start to feel a little annoying by the end
I know that this video is stale already, but the "Change Order" option blew my mind! I already completed my first play through and I had no idea I could do that. Such a great tip!
Horizon Zero Dawn will always be My Favorite Game of all time.Had dreams about it for the longest time and was soo happy when I found out they were making a game just like I dreamt of.
It's always difficult to go back but you do if you love the game. Give it 2 or 4 yrs and start again you forget so much that it almost feels new again.
The visuals are really impressive on PS5 so far. Not just due to graphical horsepower but art style, everything is so bright and vibrant. I swore Demons Souls remake was the best graphics I've ever seen but this is close. I can't wait to see what next generation games look like in a few years.
I love Horizon and I am enjoying it now, it is just beautiful. But I am just quietly waiting for GoW Ragnarok. I believe it's gonna be a bigger banger in all aspects than Horizon and Eleden Ring all together
@@Player_kai_gaming me too. Between Horizon, elden ring, and the destiny expansion, I don't know when I'll sleep. I wish these games were spaced out a few months.
In the original game there's the rare travel pack that you can buy in the merchant, making it travel pack free, so you don't need to buy travel packs just to fast travel in the first game. I am glad the sequel improves on this.
travel packs cost basically nothing to create, and you can make 50 in less than 10 seconds if you somehow run out. astounding how many complaints there are over a mechanic that basically costs nothing and moves you across the map in 1 loading screen
You guys are so great. These videos are such a necessity, especially for people struggling to enjoy the game. It’s so nice to see a video that simply helps people up their enjoyment in whatever particular capacity that may be. Always love your “Things The Game Didn’t Tell You” videos, and this is an exceptional reason why 😘
Underwater rebreather is awesome! You have access to areas prior to getting it but you drown trying to get there. Lol- it’s not easy to get it requires lots of quests being done!
Triple notch is incredibly useful, which makes me sad that Double notch for Sharpshot bows is nearly useless except against large machines (and that's if you don't care what part of the machine you're hitting). Your arrows don't go anywhere near where you're aiming.
Braced Shot is the best weapon skill in the game, and it can one-shot almost everything less powerful than a ravager even on very hard mode with a green bow. Which is to say it does insane damage. Triple shot is ok but the only reason to go for it first in my opinion is the concentration skills leading up to it. It's good in niche situations but Braced Shot is good in every situation.
I play PC games in general although I have a PS5 for titles like this. The Gyro aiming is about as close as it gets to mouse-accuracy on a console. I'm delighted with the option.
Idk if the game let's you know at some point (I'm just passed the embassy mission) but you can actually wall jump. You might miss this entirely by skipping a certain side quest. If you jump on a flat wall, then press O, aloy will perform a backwards wall jump.
when she return before meeting the carja king. before he knew silens up to something after climbing up the tower. they already teach you that. but i know it gets you overwhelm because there's so much button combo you can do and it might be forgotten.
Thanks for the tips. I mistakenly ordered the disk instead of downloading it like a nut. So I haven’t played it yet. Thanks for your guys videos and keep up the good work. We all appreciate your dedication.
Couldn't wait to play but we were hit by a severe windstorm today here in Ireland. I already had to put up with a lengthy power outage that lasted most of the day on Wednesday because of another windstorm and it happened again today. Needless to say it's been a rather crappy week. Anyway it's over now and I look forward to finally play this wonderful game.
That sucks. Same thing happens in my area all the time. Had to get a few universal power supplies for all my more precious devices. If It's raining or windy there's like a 40% chance of the power going out. Power went out in the snow storm last month and we went 4 days without heat, that sucked. Hope you enjoy Forbidden West. I want to pick it up but only have a base PS4...
Oh damn. Hundreds of hours in and #1 I didn't know at all. Well played. Another major thing the game doesn't tell you (or tell you well): there's a +4 limit on all skill boosts. So if you boosted stealth ranged in your skill tree +2, and are wearing armor with a stealth ranged +2 boost, adding a stealth ranged +2 weave does nothing. Use that weave slot for something else.
Weird, I had to buy an extra pillow when I played HZD because I kept dozing off and waking up to my Playstation powered down. Game was a grade A snoozefest.
In addition to the weapon quickswap you can select the weapon you want to quickswap to using the square button. Hold L1 and select the weapon/ammo combo you want and hit square. Quickswap will always swap back to that weapon.
It's interesting how few people knew of this! It was actually the exact same way in zero dawn haha! I always love it, when you can stash your weapons manually!
This is one of the prettiest open world i've ever seen. They nailed the world building and atmosphere in this game. My only issue at the moment is the performance mode, I personally feel it's to blurry and you do see some graphical issues from time to time so I hope they address this in the future.
I agree, I really wanted the 60 frames but I ultimately decided to stick with resolution mode because it’s such a noticeable difference in graphics IMO, I wish games would have a slider instead of a “resolution or performance” switch; I wanna try 40 frames 1440 or something
On the Gyro aiming, it's probably turned off by default because like you said it's not for everyone. But mentioning the option SOMEWHERE would mean players who do play that way can, and those who don't can just stick to what is already there.
I love gyro aiming in Nintendo games. It works well if you're holding the entire system like with the switch or 3DS but I feel like it's a bit less intuitive if you're looking at a big screen and move the controller.
A sony executive saw that nintendo had it so then they needed to have it, but how it's supposed to work was just an afterthought for the nerds to figure out and mash in later 🤷
I absolutely loooooooove this game. I played zero dawn on PlayStation plus. Totally loved that. So I was filled with joy to find the sequel came out in February. I’ve just gotten my rebreather and I’m stoaked. I did jump ahead to the Poseidon quest to get it, but it was well worth it. I’m going back to exploring and doing side quests and forts. I try and do as much side quests etc…, before doing any main quests. I want to really get full joy out of the game. Now I have the rebreather I’m going to explore all the water places. I think the graphics under water are beautiful and outstanding. Having the rebreather makes it even better. Plus I can find all the gleam that’s hidden. Games like horizon 1 and 2 are hard to find. I’m going to play it until I’ve exhausted everything. Plus I’m sure there will be a DLC. Thank you to the makers of such a brilliant 2 games.
@@Gatorade69 I have about 100 hours on my PS4 slim but other than textures not fully loading in sometimes and the game loading quickly when overwhelmed it runs like a dream
See these are actually good tips and tricks Gamingbolt put out a video like this “things the game doesn’t tell you” and everything they listed was explicitly told to the player. Thanks Gameranx for not sucking.
Haha I didn't have that problem I kept pressing circle instead and vaulted myself of the ledges by accident lol. I feel that cancel or drop from ledges is usually the circle button so took me a while to get used to.
Not a fan of Aloy having to re-learn the same skills she already had by the end of the first game. Makes zero sense. Especially because this game takes place shortly after the last one. I guess she got hit on the head and got amnesia.
Tge machines are straight up smarter in this game. They'll circle you and the one your not looking at will attack while your watching another. I dare say the AI is so much better the difficulty has raised some but in a good way.
Hey I’ve never play one of the games in the series but this game looks really good and I kinda wanna get it. Anything I need to know about the story before getting it?
I would recommend playing zero dawn first, you'll at the very least want to find a good recap on youtube as forbidden west calls back to the first game a lot.
It’s a decent game. I wasn’t a huge fan of the first one, so I wasn’t expecting to be blown away or anything like that. I’m more excited about Elder Rings more than anything. 😅
Decent ? It's one of the best console games you can find. Besides Returnal the best on PS5. Sure this game can't be for you but this is an sequel that overcome its predecessor with glance and add more to it. For console games this ain't not easy.
Quick note: I went back to HZD to replay a quest to remember the details & how it tied in with HFW story, and they put the "store weapon" (R3) feature in HZD!
Somebody said horzion forbidden west isn't worth 70 dollars that guy is crazy it definitely is I started horzion forbidden west today I only beat the first story mission its a masterpiece in every way on my ps5 I got the 70 dollar physical edition it's worth every penny
As a person who bought the ps5 thinking I'd be getting both, I totally understand this frustration. It looks so good on the fidelity mode that I'm not switching to the 60fps and just training my eyes to get used to it lol
The 4k mode is still really smooth tho... I barely even noticed its under 60 fps. A game like Dying light 2 has HORRIBLE 30 fps mode, like it's literally unplayable in 30 fps. In Horizon, they just nailed it.
I don't think it's going to overshadow it elden ring is a nince game only people who like dying millions of times will buy it personally I don't like dark souls games I'm sure it will be amazing but it won't overshadow horzion forbidden west one of the best games of the year so far
I literally just swim around everywhere and collect the fish and plants. Idk why but swimming in this game is probably my favorite out of any video game besides majoras mask. I did complete the game till the last mission but I don’t wanna end the game. I’m sure you can keep playing after maybe but it’s not the same lol
Another tip for if you want to pick up resources faster is to go into the general settings and turn of the animation for picking up resources. Safes sooo much time and just picks up resources like sticks and berries much faster. Especially when trying to do so in combat.

Really do hope they add a “automatic pickup” option like what the Last of Us 2 had. Cause I think my triangle button is going to blow up after a playthrough or 2
That’s already in the original
Horizon: Triangle Begone
Automatic pick will mean that you can't manage which things to pick up. Unlike tlou2, you have to be selective in HFW.
@@Pedro_Le_Chef this isn’t HZD. Everything just goes to the stash regardless. Literally zero point to not pick up anything In FW.
My gripe about climbing is that she'll pause and stand on a ledge I just climbed for longer than I'd like. It's a clear flat plain in front, but it's like it's still looking for a path upward when I'm ordering pressing forward. It happens too often for my taste. It doesn't detract from the overall experience, and it's minor, but makes it feel a little less polished
Thank god I’m not the only one. It’s making me a bit nauseous when playing since the delay is noticable
The climbing is the most annoying thing in this game. You can want her to go straight up and she’s just all over the place. Sometimes she won’t move when there’s clearly a climb point near as well. It’s so annoying when you are trying to get a bloom and she wants to go every way but the way you want lol.
@@JeanGray218 for sure! There are some climbing spots where she stands, that lock her from jumping off, only to other available climbing spots. So you have to walk off the edge to jump and glide down. It's awkward.
I did beat the game and mostly enjoyed it. The glitches did start to feel a little annoying by the end
Climbing in Uncharted was way smoother.
Glad to know I'm not the only one frustrated with the climbing in this game. So cumbersome and delayed. Ugh, makes me miss my Assassin's Creed.
I know that this video is stale already, but the "Change Order" option blew my mind! I already completed my first play through and I had no idea I could do that. Such a great tip!
They've improved the game so much based on feedback that it'll probably be very difficult to go back to Zero Dawn after playing this 😅
Horizon Zero Dawn will always be My Favorite Game of all time.Had dreams about it for the longest time and was soo happy when I found out they were making a game just like I dreamt of.
@@zerolosses4nero happy for you man! Hope you get similar ideas and develop games based on those as well!
It's always difficult to go back but you do if you love the game. Give it 2 or 4 yrs and start again you forget so much that it almost feels new again.
The visuals are really impressive on PS5 so far. Not just due to graphical horsepower but art style, everything is so bright and vibrant. I swore Demons Souls remake was the best graphics I've ever seen but this is close. I can't wait to see what next generation games look like in a few years.
Matrix Awakens was the best that I've ever seen.
@@TheGlintJaw that was a tech demo, not a game
This definitely beats Demon’s Souls remake for best looking PS game.
Bro there is barely any game I can take a pic of from my tv and have it look as if real person. This game achieved it.
I love Horizon and I am enjoying it now, it is just beautiful. But I am just quietly waiting for GoW Ragnarok. I believe it's gonna be a bigger banger in all aspects than Horizon and Eleden Ring all together
Loving this game. Graphics are so good I almost fell into the screen.
You can say it’s the most beautiful game I’ve ever played on a PlayStation 5 console so far. Amazing game!
The demon souls remake was pretty spectacular, but I'm a Souls veteran. So I'm a little biased. That being said, both look absolutely gorgeous.
@@FlashesSoccer011 I heard from my friend too. I just haven’t given time to demon souls with Elden Ring coming! So hyped for that as well!
@@Player_kai_gaming me too. Between Horizon, elden ring, and the destiny expansion, I don't know when I'll sleep. I wish these games were spaced out a few months.
@@FlashesSoccer011 yeah same! I am mainly focused on Elden Ring! Then go back to Horizon after Elden Ring
Astoundingly beautiful and exploration focused game! Runs like a dream on my PS5! ❤️
I'm genuinly excited, I'm getting my PS5 today 😁
@@soultekkamusic115 sweet bro hope you love it like I have.
i really enjoyed gyro aiming in breath of the wild on wiiu.. it was nice for that last 10% precision adjustment
In the original game there's the rare travel pack that you can buy in the merchant, making it travel pack free, so you don't need to buy travel packs just to fast travel in the first game. I am glad the sequel improves on this.
Feels like a downgrade tbh without the golden fast travel
@@beachesandhose2374 that just means you're impatient, it's not a downgrade.
@@dreambiscuits mind explaining how it's NOT a downgrade then?
@@dreambiscuits it removes choice. i personally want to have the choice to fast travel, or the choice to explore, or the choice to use campfires
travel packs cost basically nothing to create, and you can make 50 in less than 10 seconds if you somehow run out. astounding how many complaints there are over a mechanic that basically costs nothing and moves you across the map in 1 loading screen
You guys are so great. These videos are such a necessity, especially for people struggling to enjoy the game.
It’s so nice to see a video that simply helps people up their enjoyment in whatever particular capacity that may be.
Always love your “Things The Game Didn’t Tell You” videos, and this is an exceptional reason why 😘
you were struggling to read the basic tips & tricks that the game puts on the screen for you....?
@@schnager2939 way to take an appreciative comment in the most negative direction 👍
Underwater rebreather is awesome! You have access to areas prior to getting it but you drown trying to get there. Lol- it’s not easy to get it requires lots of quests being done!
I'm waiting on the before you buy even though I got the game.
Always nice to hear your opinion guys.
Amazing game! The motion dynamics, the machine AI, the colours, the transportation and fights. Just awesome 😃
Triple notch is incredibly useful, which makes me sad that Double notch for Sharpshot bows is nearly useless except against large machines (and that's if you don't care what part of the machine you're hitting). Your arrows don't go anywhere near where you're aiming.
It's mostly for applying effects that put a certain enemy in a weakened state. I default to explosives whenever they evade tripwires 😅
Braced Shot is the best weapon skill in the game, and it can one-shot almost everything less powerful than a ravager even on very hard mode with a green bow. Which is to say it does insane damage. Triple shot is ok but the only reason to go for it first in my opinion is the concentration skills leading up to it. It's good in niche situations but Braced Shot is good in every situation.
this comment aged like spoiled milk 🤣
I play PC games in general although I have a PS5 for titles like this.
The Gyro aiming is about as close as it gets to mouse-accuracy on a console. I'm delighted with the option.
They certainly changed a lot of the settings in this to make it a little bit more user friendly to everybody's different playstyle.
I just finished HZD and am about to start Forbidden West. These are great tips! Thanks 👍
Idk if the game let's you know at some point (I'm just passed the embassy mission) but you can actually wall jump. You might miss this entirely by skipping a certain side quest. If you jump on a flat wall, then press O, aloy will perform a backwards wall jump.
when she return before meeting the carja king. before he knew silens up to something after climbing up the tower. they already teach you that. but i know it gets you overwhelm because there's so much button combo you can do and it might be forgotten.
@@nabihannordin5871 I already knew that during climbing, but you can even wall jump on walls that you can't climb on, just so long as it's flat.
That L1, click the right stick combo is in Zero Dawn too. I love it.
This is a 100% must purchase game. 10/10...Hell...20/10. I'm so happy when I play this game, I literally never want it to end.
Don't worry it will take you very long to clear every single activity this game has.
@@danielgomez7236 Yeah, kind of found that out fast... Great game that fizzled out quick.
Thanks for the tips. I mistakenly ordered the disk instead of downloading it like a nut. So I haven’t played it yet.
Thanks for your guys videos and keep up the good work. We all appreciate your dedication.
This guy can't fail to bring me a smile on face, thanks for that! 😁
Falcon has ASMR level videos. Been listening for years and sometimes fall asleep to them. That's definitely not an insult.
@@justaddbacon259 are u Sure?🤨
@@victorcharles27 I mean yeah since what I'm saying is purely subjective.
@@justaddbacon259 falcon DOES have ASMR level videos tho it's true
Your right 🙂
@@victorcharles27 Horses for courses,. I HATE his schoolgirl rising intonation patterns, always mute him and turn on subtitles
You forgot turning off the animation for looting things that don't need you to hold the loot button!
Do you mean "10 things the game wants me to discover by myself?" Yeah, I'll do that. Still leaving a like cause I like gameranx.
Some of these you may not actually discover on your own.
Typical Falcon video lol
no, this is "10 tips that appear either on-screen in the game or they are literally just reading the menus" 🙄
I like the hold L1 option as it goes through slow mo and gives me time to think on what type of machine im fighting and other stuff
Couldn't wait to play but we were hit by a severe windstorm today here in Ireland. I already had to put up with a lengthy power outage that lasted most of the day on Wednesday because of another windstorm and it happened again today. Needless to say it's been a rather crappy week.
Anyway it's over now and I look forward to finally play this wonderful game.
🙏
That sucks. Same thing happens in my area all the time. Had to get a few universal power supplies for all my more precious devices. If It's raining or windy there's like a 40% chance of the power going out. Power went out in the snow storm last month and we went 4 days without heat, that sucked.
Hope you enjoy Forbidden West. I want to pick it up but only have a base PS4...
Oh damn. Hundreds of hours in and #1 I didn't know at all. Well played.
Another major thing the game doesn't tell you (or tell you well): there's a +4 limit on all skill boosts. So if you boosted stealth ranged in your skill tree +2, and are wearing armor with a stealth ranged +2 boost, adding a stealth ranged +2 weave does nothing. Use that weave slot for something else.
Been playing for about 5 hours now. Fucking love it. Same sense of wonder and adventure i got from the first game. DOPAMINE!!!!
Weird, I had to buy an extra pillow when I played HZD because I kept dozing off and waking up to my Playstation powered down. Game was a grade A snoozefest.
In addition to the weapon quickswap you can select the weapon you want to quickswap to using the square button. Hold L1 and select the weapon/ammo combo you want and hit square. Quickswap will always swap back to that weapon.
Yea he said that 😮
The L3 Weapon stash just came in clutch! nice gems in this vid!
It's interesting how few people knew of this! It was actually the exact same way in zero dawn haha! I always love it, when you can stash your weapons manually!
Omg 7:00 I didn’t notice you can change it from there. I’ve been looking all over for this. Thank you so freaking much!
Awesome game! So happy I grabbed it on release day!
These tips have made the game much more ENJOYABLE - thanks Falc
This is one of the prettiest open world i've ever seen. They nailed the world building and atmosphere in this game. My only issue at the moment is the performance mode, I personally feel it's to blurry and you do see some graphical issues from time to time so I hope they address this in the future.
I think ghost of Tsushima looked better
I agree, I really wanted the 60 frames but I ultimately decided to stick with resolution mode because it’s such a noticeable difference in graphics IMO, I wish games would have a slider instead of a “resolution or performance” switch; I wanna try 40 frames 1440 or something
@@jacob3761 I've read that the performance mode is being looked into by developers as many have reported for graphical glitches in that mode.
Great tips, love that you didn't include any spoilers. Thanks!!
I’m waiting to play this after I beat Dying Light 2 and Elden Ring, but definitely looking forward to this.
Can tell that gameranx loves using the photo mode to express themselves without having to animate it. And damn I love the photo mode as well
Seeing all this footage, the game looks amazing! Can't wait to play it!
For Motion Aiming, coming from the switch made it feel like home, I'm honestly surprised how good it is for minute adjustments. 👍👍
What they didn’t tell me was how good this game looks😍
On the Gyro aiming, it's probably turned off by default because like you said it's not for everyone. But mentioning the option SOMEWHERE would mean players who do play that way can, and those who don't can just stick to what is already there.
I love gyro aiming in Nintendo games. It works well if you're holding the entire system like with the switch or 3DS but I feel like it's a bit less intuitive if you're looking at a big screen and move the controller.
But you’re litterally turning the system away from yourself right? I always hate it😂
@@basvangeest5485 No, it's just very slightly and feels very intuitive.
A sony executive saw that nintendo had it so then they needed to have it, but how it's supposed to work was just an afterthought for the nerds to figure out and mash in later 🤷
I absolutely loooooooove this game. I played zero dawn on PlayStation plus. Totally loved that. So I was filled with joy to find the sequel came out in February. I’ve just gotten my rebreather and I’m stoaked. I did jump ahead to the Poseidon quest to get it, but it was well worth it. I’m going back to exploring and doing side quests and forts. I try and do as much side quests etc…, before doing any main quests. I want to really get full joy out of the game. Now I have the rebreather I’m going to explore all the water places. I think the graphics under water are beautiful and outstanding. Having the rebreather makes it even better. Plus I can find all the gleam that’s hidden. Games like horizon 1 and 2 are hard to find. I’m going to play it until I’ve exhausted everything. Plus I’m sure there will be a DLC. Thank you to the makers of such a brilliant 2 games.
Number 0:
The game will blow your mind with insane graphics regardless of the PlayStation you have.
I'd only recommend it for PS4 PRO or PS5 to be honest.
The original PS4 will probably have a really hard time playing this.
@@subtomefornoreason9205 Yeah I have a base PS4 but I really want to play this. Hear it runs decently though, nothing like the mess Cyberpunk.
@@Gatorade69 I have about 100 hours on my PS4 slim but other than textures not fully loading in sometimes and the game loading quickly when overwhelmed it runs like a dream
See these are actually good tips and tricks Gamingbolt put out a video like this “things the game doesn’t tell you” and everything they listed was explicitly told to the player. Thanks Gameranx for not sucking.
Please don’t ever break up this team of developers!!!!!!🙏
I just beat Zero Dawn and now I'm pumped to dive deep into Forbidden West!
It was tough going from dying light 2 to this game. I kept hitting R1 to jump
Yes me too! It’s also hard to decide which to play ..dying light is a lot better than reviews are saying
@@phillipcollins1103 you shouldn't play a game based on reviews when there so much gameplay to actually see the game lol
Haha I didn't have that problem I kept pressing circle instead and vaulted myself of the ledges by accident lol. I feel that cancel or drop from ledges is usually the circle button so took me a while to get used to.
@@MissMultiConsole im still doing that actually.
This game is the main reason why I got a new pc. Great tips. A lot of things changed from zero dawn.
Not a fan of Aloy having to re-learn the same skills she already had by the end of the first game. Makes zero sense. Especially because this game takes place shortly after the last one. I guess she got hit on the head and got amnesia.
Biggest tip from me is go into the options and turn off loot animation. Can loot trees and flowers and such without stopping
I don't mind the weather. It's just showing ya how beautiful the game is.
The rain is like a curtain that makes it hard to find invisible enemies
Just got off work, literally perfect timing with this upload. Caught it 40 min after you uploaded too lol
Tge machines are straight up smarter in this game. They'll circle you and the one your not looking at will attack while your watching another. I dare say the AI is so much better the difficulty has raised some but in a good way.
I remember some of the cauldrons being a nightmare to do at anything beyond normal difficulty with the previous AI.
The humans are too. They'll sometimes form small search parties to look for you
I've been holding off to buy it until I could see your Before you buy, but reading the comments and seeing this stuff made me wanna buy it NOW 😅
Hey I’ve never play one of the games in the series but this game looks really good and I kinda wanna get it. Anything I need to know about the story before getting it?
I would recommend playing zero dawn first, you'll at the very least want to find a good recap on youtube as forbidden west calls back to the first game a lot.
There's a recap at the beginning but I would play the first game, its really good and you get all the details.
@@pugpolice4323 ok thank you!
@@Tool0GT92 thanks that’s also something I wanted to know if there was a recap in the beginning like borderlands and you answered it!
@ANOTHER LOST ACCOUNT you are wrong the story is amazing and emotional
The weapon sheathing is GOLD. It's irritating period, not just in town. THANK YOU!
Thank you two of these (weapon swap)+(fast travel) are going to help immensely!
I start playing this game and I saw few videos like this and all are the same except for this one, this is the most helpfull of all. Thanks!
It’s a decent game. I wasn’t a huge fan of the first one, so I wasn’t expecting to be blown away or anything like that. I’m more excited about Elder Rings more than anything. 😅
Decent ? It's one of the best console games you can find. Besides Returnal the best on PS5. Sure this game can't be for you but this is an sequel that overcome its predecessor with glance and add more to it. For console games this ain't not easy.
Your being biased and subjective it's ok if some people are less amazed then you
Quick note: I went back to HZD to replay a quest to remember the details & how it tied in with HFW story, and they put the "store weapon" (R3) feature in HZD!
Somebody said horzion forbidden west isn't worth 70 dollars that guy is crazy it definitely is I started horzion forbidden west today I only beat the first story mission its a masterpiece in every way on my ps5 I got the 70 dollar physical edition it's worth every penny
Why pay $70 when the $60 ps4 version gets you the ps5 version for free?
quality of life all the way! these tips make the game much more enjoyable... thanks Falcon
Man I wish it was 4K and 60fps on ps5 super annoying when you can’t have the best of both
As a person who bought the ps5 thinking I'd be getting both, I totally understand this frustration. It looks so good on the fidelity mode that I'm not switching to the 60fps and just training my eyes to get used to it lol
The 4k mode is still really smooth tho... I barely even noticed its under 60 fps.
A game like Dying light 2 has HORRIBLE 30 fps mode, like it's literally unplayable in 30 fps.
In Horizon, they just nailed it.
@@ozarkeusful I feel like it’s the ps4 holding it back tbh can’t know till they go full next gen only tho
easy, just swap in some slightly better ram an- oh wait 🤣
The automatic use slow motion when possible is awesome. Thanks for another great video.
Now make a PC version xD
It's out!
You guys the best. I'm definitely using every single tip. I was playing like 3 straight hours yesterday. 🙌
She gives Lara a run for her money in the badass HOT female video game catagory... My vote is actually her .. shes adorable
She looks way better than Lara
Inverted focus and interaction markers always on are worth doing too.
Elden Ring already game of the year after leaked early access.
Lol
I just started about a week or so ago. I really enjoy the little changes like in dialogue. No more awkward face staring.
Beautiful game, gonna have a well-deserved 15 minutes of fame before Elden Ring comes and overshadows it
I don't think it's going to overshadow it elden ring is a nince game only people who like dying millions of times will buy it personally I don't like dark souls games I'm sure it will be amazing but it won't overshadow horzion forbidden west one of the best games of the year so far
I literally just swim around everywhere and collect the fish and plants. Idk why but swimming in this game is probably my favorite out of any video game besides majoras mask. I did complete the game till the last mission but I don’t wanna end the game. I’m sure you can keep playing after maybe but it’s not the same lol
