Got the game and I must say, I’m blown away. Running on very high settings and the game runs like butter. Well done to the developers on what is an excellent port of the game.
Not really, most of the time, yeah, but it tends to drop fps in settlements by a lot. I run it from 80-90 but in settlements it can drop to 50. But its fine, i push my HW a lot for 1440p.
@@snaggiz maybe you have stronger CPU so drops are smaller. But without checking could not notice if you drop from 100 to 80 or 70, but its still substantial drop if that is the case. I run this with RX 6800 and 5700x at 1440p
Hey man! So after a lot of setbacks with updates and decoding and drivers I finally got to start after work. Let me just say I am loving it. I got to about the 2 hour mark where you were and can’t wait to keep playing. I can do 4k at medium settings and 2k at high. I’m generally happy with that and tbh I’ll probably upgrade before I’m halfway done with the game (150 hours is gunna take like 2 years lol). I’m going full ultra hard and an promising to 100% it I loved the travel cinematic a lot and I’m ready to embark!
I found your channel after my second playthrough on PS5. You have the best tips. Here's one for you: The best part about PC is playing in 21:9. So cinematic. If you haven't tried it yet, you should. Turn off letterboxing on cut scenes.
@@ArktixOfficial I don't have an ultrawide either, but I have a very large 1440p monitor. So there are black bands on the top and bottom but it's still cool to play in this aspect ratio.
Just downloaded it this morning myself. gotta go to work, so I'm gunna have to play when I'm home! Can't wait! Looks amazing ! Loved the first horizon dawn!!
Hey Arktix, I can confirm that the Arena glitch still works, as do super jump and superglide. I'm loving this port, even though I have about 2k hrs on ps5. I've got every setting maxxed and all upscaling turned off. Absolutely stunning visually. 75-80 fps w/4070 @ 1440p.
Does the difficulty settings still affect how aggressive the machines are like in HZD? They certainly looked more aggressive in ultra hard as compared to normal
I’m gonna watch the whole playthru, and someday imma stream my own playthroughs I can’t wait to use a sharp shot bow, traps and a hunter bow for a acid stealth build
I need to try and catch one of these streams live! Sorry if I missed it, but do you have any guides for fresh save ultra hard difficulty? I want to try this after my NG+ run
I played HZD on PS4 and HFW on the computer. Though aiming is better with the mouse, for me, movement is more complicated. In right hand the mouse, with left all the buttons to run, move, roll, back roll, side roll etc. On PC this was a problem for me, with the controller now, none at all.
Hi new subscriber here! Enjoyed your guides and now watching play through. Could you please pop your map when you are at key places like npc locations, vista points, ruins etc only takes a second but handy for new players to see where things are located. Cheers
It now occurred to me, isn't Sirius system unstable for planetary orbits? There is Sirius A (main sequence star with much smaller life expectancy than Sun and about twice it mass) and Sirius B (massive white dwarf with mass about the same as Sun). They orbit each other and possible planets would have unstable orbits - not very inviting for colonization.
Yeah I'm not really sure why Guerrilla decided to use Sirius as the destination. Maybe there's a bit of lore that explains it, but if there is, I'm not aware of it.
Has any had a change in colour? The grass and the blite is now all in blue rather than red. I’ve also noticed other details that are blue that used to be red. I’m still seeing plenty of reds, so there is nothing wrong with screen or anything like that. Very strange. Even in the cut seen the blite is a blue/purple. When Aloy is teach varl to use the focus the tall grass is blue.
@@jonathanlebon9705 thank you for that, I didn’t think of that and that’s what it was. Colour blind, I must of clicked it and not realised. Thanks again.
Why they decided to introduce Scroungers when we already have Scrappers (I still cannot tell the difference between the two in the open world) but cut the Sawtooth because it's "too similar to the Ravager" I have no idea...makes no sense. I really like the Sawtooth and find it to be a fairly iconic machine.
Not only that, i was always chill fighting Ravagers, Sawtooths on the other hand always felt like a boss battle on their own. On ultra-hard those things were relentless...but also really fun to fight, at least for me.
I'm a proud KB n M player since quake 1... I'll never understand how anyone could play a shooter with a controller... hehe. But, whatever blows your chortes.
I always wait for the pc version so I can mod and get rid of the winter clothes. I did the same with Tomb raider. The game is so much better now that Lara has the outfits from earlier games such as Underworld.
3:06:48 woww when did the Daunt became looking like Japan lol yeaa it's sooo weird, it looks both beautiful, yet unsettling at the same time; like we are not used to So much red grass, but also it feels like some, unnatural growth that it spread uncontrollably Very interesting odd bug, and would be very interesting to know how it happened
It’s probably a bug with real time placement, Guerrilla games had a GDC lecture about it some time ago. It allows specific objects to be placed by a set of rules, like not being on roads or high terrain, etc. The density of placement is also controlled (might be controlled by density maps, I think), so it looks like the density was wrong for some reason
If you link your PSN and Steam accounts, you get access to a couple of (mostly cosmetic) bonus items. Artix apparently HAS linked their accounts, and that option is for them to unlink the accounts. You won't lose any data if you unlink the accounts, you just won't have access to the couple of (mostly cosmetic) bonus items. (The option to link your accounts should appear in exactly the place that you see unlink the accounts in this video. However, there appear to be some reliability problems with that option and it doesn't always show up. I haven't seen a good walkthru of what to do to get it to show up, it's things like restart your Steam client, or even reboot your machine, and it doesn't always work. Some have suggested that the problem is that PSN servers might be unreliable, so when HFW on PC probes the servers to see if it should show the link option, if the PSN servers are overloaded the HFW game doesn't show the option to link.) Note that linking your accounts seems to work across all of the Sony titles that support it - if you link, they are all linked. If you unlink, they are all unlinked.
There's so many customizable features in Settings. I recommend browsing all of it & playing around with the different features to see what you want off/on
There's a setting that lets you dodge in either direction when you double-tap one of the movement keys which is on by default. I think it was in the accessibility settings.
You could run the game with good graphics for under 1000 if you knew what parts to get. Even my old 980ti is able to mostly give me smooth framerates on the medium graphics preset.
@@milkdrinker7 How good are we talking? I've been considering getting a gaming PC, but if I do, it needs to at least out-perform the PS5 (since I already have that).
@@TurdF3rguson hmm, well first you should consider why you want to get into PC gaming. All of its benefits can seem overshadowed if all your friends have PlayStations and you wouldn't be able to play with them anymore. That being said, it is possible to build a PC for about as much as a PS5 costs for comparable or maybe better performance, supposing you are willing to brave the used market, which does have risks, though they are mostly avoidable. It's no secret that console manufacturers subsidize their hardware with profits from software and subscriptions. PC doesn't have a subscription to play online (other than Internet bill), and the sky's the limit in terms of possible performance. As opposed to your games being stuck on an ever-aging console, PC games can be played at any point on whatever hardware you have at the time. For example, I bought Skyrim for like six bucks 10 years ago while I was using my old computer, and I still play it, mostly modded, on my current PC.
@@milkdrinker7 Nice. Thanks for the info. I gotta look into it more. The good thing for me is that I rarely ever play online anyways. I pretty much only play single-player stuff, so that wouldn't be an issue.
@@TurdF3rguson He did not give you concrete answer. And please don't consider that old obsolete cards like 9** series of Nvidia. Here is okey hardware i bought, and it gonna be probably enough for 2 years more i hope. GPU rx 6800 (or XT version) should be around 350e if there is any (can run 1440p over 60fps, and some older titles 4k no problem on 60ish), R7 5700x 150e, 32gb of RAM 60e, around 70e motherboard, 90e power supply, if going for M2 drive that's additional 50e. Those specs are much higher than PS5, and will run currently any game decently. Parallel for Nvidia gonna be 4060ti super, 4070 super as more stronger but also expensive card and if buying Intel only 12 or 13th gen is viable instead of R7 5th gen.
This is not a NG+ though. I'm not sure why it appears I'm staying underwater abnormally long to @taitan1222 Maybe just because watching someone else do it feels longer than doing it yourself?
No actual way this person implied that Horizon is a repeat game and said that Assassin's Creed is innovative. No way. No way. AC the number 1 copy pasta game of all time and it's not even close. Literally 20 clone games ahahaha @vishtrinity
11:55 It is such a pity you are doing this playthrough with all HUD features turned on. It spoils the beauty of the game. Not to mention, it makes the game easier. Too much handholding. Some of these HUD features are completely unnecessary. I wouldn't, mind it so much if you're using HUD features that are linked with the Focus, because then it would be part of the world Aloy is in and would make sense. Then to make it even worse, you have live chat messages popping up on the screen. It is so ironic and weird that Guerrilla made a gorgeous looking world, but then allowed so many HUD features to cover it all up. Games like HZD and Forbidden West, need to be played with minimal HUD. I am trying to watch your Ultra Hard playthrough so that I compare blind playthroughs on Very Hard and Ultra Hard. As you have played this game many times before, it is good to know what to expect and helps me when I'm watching blind playthroughs. However, the HUD and the busy screen makes it so distracting to watch.
