- Horizon Zero Dawn has been on my radar for a long time, and now that the Horizon DLC The Frozen Wilds is out, I better sit down to review and complete!

Aloy is a nimble and deadly accurate ranger in this strange world of Horizon Zero Dawn. Humans live in tribes while robotic beasts rule the land. As an outcast with mysterious origins, you travel the world seeking answers and, of course, loot! Raised by your father figure Rost, he teaches you from your first hunt to preparing for the Proving. But, the secrets of the All-Mother are starting to unfold when you come across a piece of technology that shows you a new way of looking at the world and the metal beasts.
What you'll notice in my Horizon Zero Dawn review is that the gameplay is amazingly fluid. You dissect and predict attacks from enemies using your bow with all the arrow combinations and playstyles you have equipped as you fight in real time.
The Frozen Wilds is the first Horizon Zero Dawn DLC and you go beyond the mountains into the territory of the Banuk with new weapons and creatures. Also new in The Frozen Wilds, the skill tree has been updated with more utility options that really can help you with your resources. Horizon Zero Dawn is a PS4 exclusive by Guerilla Games.
Let me know what you thought of my Horizon Zero Dawn review!

As an update to this video - minutes after it went live, I was given access to the Horizon Zero Dawn theme for getting platinum trophy. I ended up having to create a new game save file to get the achievements to proc.
hey Jirard, Starcraft II recently went free-to-play dawg, you should add that to your completion list, also FNAF6 is in full effect, you got some catching up with Freddy to do. ;)
Jirard new dlc came out for Legend of Zelda breath of the wild and you need to give it the completionist treatment
Hey jirard wen will you redo all the 120 games you beat before
That One Video Gamer good catch, Jirard
Isaac Lee over time. Be patient. He has like a dozen redone already. Just doesn't have scripts done yet.
My favorite thing about this game is that when you see a new machine you always go “oh shit”...
First time i saw a storm bird i tried shooting at it before realizing it was actually really far away and huuugggeeee
I felt the exact same way about me seeing my first Thunderjaw, I was like, "Look at the size of it."
THAT IS 💯 PERCENT TRUE!!
This is so godamn true my first one was when I found out rock breakers exist
@@rulerworld1289 I thought it was just a glinthawk and made a HUGE mistake
When I killed a snapmaw for the first time, it was the greatest feeling
How I felt when I killed the first sawtooth. I legit fought it for 20 mins the first time not knowing how to take off parts as easy. My second play thru I killed it in 30secs flat. Lured it into a shock trap by hitting it with fire arrows and blowing it's blaze can then crit striked it when it went down to the trap and slapped it once. Crazy how you evolve in this game
Same on my first stalker now I can take them out in under 10 seconds
It's snapmaw not jaw
Me with a Glinthawk bc even tho they aren’t that difficult to kill they are sooo annoying
@@andremerrick4925 I hate stalkers soooo much.
There’s no better feeling than taking down your first thunderjaw
Wait FIRST I thought there was only one
Michael Leidholt nope there’s like 4 spawn points for them across the world, one of them has 2 thunderjaws, plus there’s the story related one
@@cultofgoose1942 More if you count sidequests.
Bthsr71 oh yeah, like redmaw
@@cultofgoose1942 now... THAT was an insane fight. I blew through all my traps, his disc launcher, most of my ropes and bombs... and ended up nearly arrow-broke... before I finally put his ass down at level 38 O.O
In all fairness, people talk to themselves all the time, especially when alone and trying to figure something out. It's normal. Done right, it's also a great tool for narrative that feels natural. Done poorly, it's incredibly obvious it's done purely for the player's benefit.
It should also be noted that she's a friendly and helpful person who lived her entire life with almost no one to talk to (except her very taciturn adopted dad), so it makes a good amount of sense that she talks to herself.
@@lnsflare1 Contextually that makes even more sense....
This, plus she doesn't talk to herself, more just thinks out loud. Lots of people do that to process information better.
And it's also the first sign of insanity!
I always just pretends that she is thinking instead of talking to herself.
The witcher had this alot too.
When I saw that first sawtooth I thought it was so huge and terrifying and now they are so easy next to all the other huge machines that demolish me 😫
Honestly its pretty much like
First sawtooth: oooooh shit
20 hours into the game: kills a sawtooth in under a minute
New game + kills a stormbird in 1 min
Yeah. I can kill a thunderjaw easily if I have the high ground so that it can’t reach me, if I use my focus on its parts, and use my (I forgot the name of them) hard point arrows or something.
I will kill a sawtooth in less than 30 seconds.
@@Lettucem3n Fire arrow Spam it is simple in the Lager game
One thing I love about this game is the fact that you get the sense that you're not alone in the fight against the machines, you'll come across broken machines every now and again and sometimes see other's fighting, and hell, at the hunting lodge my mouth literally dropped open when I heard that someone took down a Stormbird, which I had previously run away from like a little bitch
Mickspad wow uhm a bit late to ask you but did you use the armor you get from the bunker or whatever it is that makes you immune to damage until the shield breaks and has a fast re charge it kinda breaks the game and I don’t recommend using it all the time because difficulty rewards you with a better feeling after but it makes everything easier
@@andremerrick4925 I did but you can't get it until late game because areas that hold the power cells are locked off until the story has you go there
@@andremerrick4925 I gotta disagree on that.
There are parts of this game that feel downright unfair without the shieldweaver armor.
That final fight with the deathbringer at the end would've been all but impossible if I hadn't been immune to damage for most of it.
And fuck trying to fight a rockbreaker without it. I'd rather fight 5 thunderjaws at once than try that shit.
And all of that is just on the normal difficulty before new game+. I'm planning to do a ultra hard run leading up to the release of forbidden West, and you can bet your ass I'm gonna be wearing that shield the whole time.
@maxie fuqua you probably have a point but I played my first play through and new game plus on hardest difficulty and went back to normal to clean up whatever I had to do for platinum since I had 90% completion and outside of the final fight on hardest difficulty I didn’t really see a purpose for such a huge advantage
stormbird is weak...a single full draw TRIPLE shot of freeze arrows from the maxed banuk champion bow, then 5-6 precision arrows in its eye from a full draw maxed banuk powershot bow...easy kill with 0 shots at u.
There's literally an end credit scene implying a sequel will come. Guess you didn't see it
Just about to say the exact same thing.
Yeah it’s been 3 years
The story was done though. It did set up for a sequel but it didn’t hold the narrative hostage though
3 years later and I want it just please don’t be shit when it does come if it does come
Well its already announced

Steve Pritchard basically what happens
AFTER ALL THE SHIT I JUST WENT THOU, NO ANOTHER ARMOR IS BETTER
Stev da Wizard which one? That armor makes your new game + on ultra hard difficulty a complete joke

I love how every person can play completely different, I preferred the stealth, and rarely overloaded the machines.
But how do you stealth kill a fucking thunderjaw
anthony i usually just shoot the three canons off with the tear last arrows and then ice bomb him which makes them take twice as much damage, then shoot them till they die occasionally hiding to recraft arrows/get more health

Criminally underrated game. I was surprised to find out just how great the story is for this game. No, not just "great" by videogame standards, but _actually_ great
So true. HZD is more original and inspired in its sci-fi story than %99 of sci-fi movies/shows out there imo with amazing characters and character development.
calm down kid, Horizon has had 9s all over the place, awards everywhere before its release, and huge sales. I don't think you know what underrated means. Yes, zelda surpassed it in most goty lists, not the end of the world.
ethan philpot agreed
Terence Caron underrated in that it didn't win many end of year awards, but at the same time it's a "jack of all trades, master of none" situation, as a complete package Horizon is top notch and it really does everything well, but there are other games that do specific things better (Nier's writing and music, Cuphead's art design and music, Persona's writing and music) and it was going up against 2 30+ year old juggernauts for GOTY honors

@yannick dell How do you enjoy warframe i deleted it not long after i started grinding for weapons, parts, mods etc for hours. After the story its just not fun anymore, which is sad because the story is actually great

@don't give a fudge I agree. Melee combat is basically useless. Gets you killed more than it helps.

@Abu Troll al cockroachistan That is true.
Horizon and Breath of the Wild are two of my favorite games this year. Glad to see you complete both of them!
Breath of the Wild I bought a Nintendo switch for that reason
BOTW is one of the worst game of 2017. Anyone saying "it's a good game" needs to get off of Gimtendo's dick. If BOTW was made by an indie dev people would ignore and accept it for the shit it is. But since it's made by Gimtendo, it's all of a sudden "10/10 GOTY 2017." Pretty bullshit, but the sad truth.

It's too bad this game didn't win a SINGLE award. Kinda got fucked, although BOTW deserved all of its awards.
I know this is three years old but I totally agree. Especially the fact they released the same year.
@@christinabakersmith4242 3 years later and we still have to witness TLoU2 steal every single award from Doom and Ghost of Tsushima
@@LunarSovereign While I did like tlou2 that for sure felt paid off. Doom also deserved best soundtrack. I haven't played ghost of tsushima yet but from what I've heard people say its incredible. Like your telling me tlou2 beat out all of that?
didnt deserve any with that shitty fast travel. repetitive ass game. literally takes 30 mins irl time to get to 1 sidequest. terrible
@@megami215
What’s wrong with the fast travel? It literally helps you get to everything faster... tf
It’s kinda logic that aloy talks to herself the game would feel silent without that and less alive
And she had no friends you would also talk in yourself if you where alone this also happens in movies so it isn’t weird that it happens in a game
r.i.peperoniii iroh it also happens in real life I’ve done it when I was a kid not because I had no friends just because I’d never really had a strong connection with anyone and didn’t like talking to anyone at that time and still do it occasionally mostly out of habit than anything but it helped me maintain my mental health
I talk to myself every time whenever I’m studying for homework or whenever I’m alone doing something. It wakes me up and gives me energy for some reason.
Horizon Zero Dawn is not only one of the best games on PS4, but also hands down one of THE best games ever. It was absolutely addictive and amazing from start to finish. I platinumed it then did a new game plus on max difficulty because I could lmao. It did so well that Sony has officially declared it a franchise and confirmed that a sequel is in fact coming.
Gonna call you on your bullshit. It was incredibly rare that her gender even brought up in affecting her prowess and skill as a warrior. The only time it was ever used was by obvious antagonists. The only thing that was shown was that she was seen as a literal unknown quantity.
I never felt disconnected from Aloy, and I almost never play female characters, this game was executed so well it never even crossed my mind, and was so infrequently leaned on as a tool for conflict that it bordered on pointless. And this DLC showed they still have legs for extending the story without having to artificially inflate the mythos.
The world needs more games that take their time to craft the world and make the story fit it instead of the opposite.
I agree. Also, I'd like to add that not every tribe in the game is patriarchal. The Nora tribe is a matriarchy and the Banuk treat the genders equally.
Luciferkrist completely agree.
Agreed I rarely ever seen characters in the game say anything about her gender
Her gender didn't come up often, but when it was it was usually eye rolling. Like when at the end Sobek was asked what she'd want her son or daughter to be if she had one, Sobek said I'd want "HER" etc. Kind of came across as cringy the way it was delivered.
The game was usually subtle with the progressive woke politics, but it's definitely there.
@@Excalibur2 hmm I wonder if that’s why some people like it so much, for the wokeness. I played it but got bored, I’ll probably try it again sometime
Normally I find characters talking to themselves annoying. But Aloy is one of the few exceptions for me. She has lived as an outcast for her entire life, with only Rost as a companion. So it isn’t too far fetched for her to talk to herself to have a sense of company
I would love to see a full-fledged crossover with Horizon Zero Dawn and Monster Hunter!
I can't believe you actually got that but I'm happy for you
My favorite game of my lifetime, is a beautiful game. I would definitely buy a sequel to Hzd.
Did you play it on a Pro and 4K/HDR TV? I played on a regular TV, but got a new TV a few weeks ago. HZD looks insane, glad I didn't start Frozen Wild until I got my new TV.
You excited about horizon forbidden West?
18th Feb...... I can't wait for Forbidden West.
Horizon was a great game and got snubbed at the Game Awards
yes and no, it was a great game, and it's among the best in a whole bunch of categories (combat, art direction, music, writing, etc), and certainly at the top in terms of overall quality, but you could argue that there are other games that do specific things just a bit better. it's kind of a "jack of all trades, master of none" situation, especially when you have 2 massive 30+ year old IP's put out arguably their best games of their respective series, and Cuphead/Nier/Persona, which should and pretty much did sweep any artistic/music related awards
Matt Brown I feel like Nintendo really should've put Mario odyssey in 2018 so they could fit for game of the year again more because this year has sucked for them
Matt Brown I would argue it’s not the best I combat, art direction, music, or writing. BOTW is simply out of the league of all the other games this year. It wasn’t even close to a fair contest in my opinion.
Play breath of the wild
@@azzi7588 I'm playing Horizon at the moment and love it. Completed botw and whilst I enjoyed it, it didn't quite grip me as much as I expected it would (probably because I adored Ocarina of Time as a kid so much). I love the art style and scale of the machines in Horizon and I can't think of anything quite like it. I think botw is probably the better game in truth, but it's just not MY game, if you get me?
Welcome to Episode 2 of me asking Jirard to complete Yakuza 0.
Please complete Yakuza 0.
hey do more oney plays completion pls
I knew I wasn't the only one who wants him to complete Yakuza 0!
I've actually done it myself (sort of) because of an achievement in the game, and trust me, it is a goddamn pain in the butt.
Oh, and for those who have played Yakuza 0 and tried to earn that sweet gold trophy, I know you will tremble in fear when I say *M-A-H-J-O-N-G*. I can't wait to see how Jirard handles that section muahahaha!
But seriously, this will be a breeze for Jirard, and I really want him to do Yakuza 0, guess we can only wait patiently 😊
Episode 1 was better
Can we add Okami to that list?
Mysterious Jojo
Yakuza is a great series but isn't 100% ing them brutal?
I'm so glad that Sony put this in their play at home initiative.

Misanthropic Servitor of Mars they still could not pass Putin her in a swim at the end f u finish the game quickly enough
There’s still her zero suit and the way they annihilated her character in other M. And yea, the fact that Metroid and Portal exist doesn’t mean it’s not a rarity amongst the majority of vg
Two people in the entire game dismiss her capabilites as a warrior because of her sex. Talking about making an elephant out of a mosquito...
This is honestly probably my favorite story out of all the games I’ve been and I love the conplete and utter flip when you get an understanding about how this world came to be.
I played through the game over a year ago. This story has stuck with me ever since. I think about the dangers of hubris and technology with the rise of AI and machine learning in our real world today. People as careless and arrogant as Faro exist in our world today. Cautionary tale wrapped up in an exciting and incredible game. I know your comment is 3 years old but I saw this and had to agree and express my own thoughts in return. Happy to speak to someone who found this story captivating as I did then and do now. Hope you've been well.
I've always wanted to check out this game. Need a PS4 first though lol

While 200 dollars is indeed cheap to some people. I don't have a job (yet) and right now, 200 dollars is rather unobtainable.
The biggest problem with this game is that it came out a week before Breath of the Wild.
Darth Vanquish why is that a problem?
because everyone was talking about zelda and this game flew under the radar
Revolver because it's a new series VS Zelda. It isn't difficult to see that this can cause problems. Look at Titanfall 2 for example - It's an amazing game, but it didn't get nearly as much attention as it should have due to its release being close to other more popular FPS titles releases.
Because it shows how overrated Zelda was
@Tiger Bears
No, it is because first game release was botched, and people ignore sequel.
I give this game a 10/10
wtf, max 6/10
@@twinguy9633 6/10? Did you finish the game? It's bloody brilliant. 10/10
@@theuniversewithin74 Yeah I finished it. It was awful lame. I mean the lore is really bad, the sidemissions are worse than far cry side quests and the gameplay gets repetitive really fast. I didn't enjoy it. I don't know and I don't understand how people can like it, I tried to understand but I can't. The only good point are the graphics, beyond that there is nothing. Games like far cry 4 or assassins creed odyssey had better storytelling and more variation.
@@twinguy9633 it's perfectly fine not to like it, but me and millions of other people loved it. If you didn't connect with the story, it's understandable that you didn't enjoy it. I liked the gameplay from the beginning, but didn't find the story engaging until 10-15 hours in. After that I was completely sold, esp after they revealed what Zero Dawn really was and Aloy's role.
Wtf everyone nothing is perfect so 9.9 out of 10 and the reason here is this game is stupid underrated it kind of plays like any open world ps4 exclusive except it excels at combat and doesn’t get repetitive at all in combat if you keep moving and fight different types especially if they mix different types together and the biggest one of all the armor you earn by doing a simple puzzle and finding power cells (not in that order) is over powered and makes it easy to kill anything
6:50 "her skills are questioned because of her gender."
Really? I've finished 50% of the game so far and I've not noticed much of that.
More instances of "I don't know you, thus I question your skills" than anything.
And even a good bit of "oh, we know who you are, that's why we're talking to you." Thrown in.
Most I've seen was from the Hunters Lodge and that was just the one guy. There's occasional npc talk of "a woman leading the lodge now?!" But that's it.
Admittedly I'm only about half way through and there may be more, but so far there's barely anything there.
Unless you're referring to people calling her "girl" what seems like a majority of the time.
But I don't see that as a "your skills are in question because of your gender."
She's only ever questioned because of being an outsider. Not because of gender. However the writers go out of there way to have EVERY SINGLE MALE character in the story make a pass at Aloy. All of the main dudes in the story openly try to hit on her and it's disgusting. That shot doesn't happen in male-driven games unless it's Duke Nukem. There was a lot of internal problems with the development of this game regarding toxic femininity on the office. There were a ton of articles about a year before release
Who still looks at reviews, after buying n playing it?
Me, I find them entertaining and it’s fun to see what others think.
I have almost 100 hours of game play, and I still haven't 100% yet.
Just 100% it at 99 hours! So damn good!
I swear all I have to do to get platinum is vantage points collectibles and gathering all possible allies in final battle and I accidentally got the new game + achievements by seeing “face paints unlocked after beating the game one ultra hard difficulty” literally why I did it and now I have 89/90% of the games achievements
I beat persona 5 at 95 hours played and I only have like 3/4s of the achievements. Those are all the non grindy achievements.
The reason why the character talk to them selfs is because some players forget what to do i think its useful when i dont know what to do they literally tell you what to do
Haiman kinda ruins the game a bit
I love Horizon Zero Dawn to pieces. The writing falls down on itself in a few places in its attempts to be clever with dystopian political stuff (you can't really have a dystopia without politics, so that aspect was GOING to be there), but most of that is in text datalogs so they're really just a few awkward cringe moments in an otherwise long, glorious adventure through a beautiful and engaging game.
The only other possible criticism, which is more a "your mileage may vary" point, is that Horizon is more of an amalgamation of iterative concepts pioneered by other games. The uniqueness comes more from seeing them blended in exactly this way: Tomb Raider 2013 meets The Witcher 3, with elements of other games peppered in for good measure. Captivating, but gamers who are a bit snooty about derivative elements tend not to like it because it's "unoriginal." Ignoring the fact that this same criticism could be leveled, harder, at 99.9% of games, indies included.
In ANY CASE, glad to see you finally tackled this one. It's a great game, although I'm hoping the eventual sequel will be smoother in the places where Zero Dawn wasn't so smooth.

By the way, you forgot to mention the rapid-fire crossbow in the core game when listing out the game's weapons. It's good for dishing out damage on larger targets quickly if you can get in close and unload on them. But as it's basically a really rickety machine gun made of wood and firing bolts instead of bullets, it's probably the least interesting weapon in the game... ironically.
There's also the elemental slingshot weapons. I haven't actually used those yet, though.
I've heard you guys being called snooty at times as well but at least you all seem very fair when voicing your individual opinions.
I love Horizon as well and am currently replaying it which is something I won't do with most (if not all) other games I've played this year.
Horizon was easily the most engrossing game I've played to completion this year. (I haven't had time to really sink my teeth into things like Nioh or Persona 5 yet though) The entire thing just hit me in all the right ways, and between Aloy, the machines, the beautiful vistas (I rarely get caught up in views in open world games for the record, but this game made me stop in awe multiple times) and the way the developers paid attention to keeping so much of the game (like the scanning and other elements) so grounded in the world, it all just makes this game come together beautifully, and the fact that this was on the studios first real attempt on this type of game, it really makes the prospect of the eventual sequel incredible, especially since even with The Frozen Wilds they showed a drive to do their best to address certain criticisms of the base game as best they could. (Such as facial animation and the new skill tree to help cut down on time gathering) Guerilla Games has always had amazing technical props, and with the freedom of this game, it is really nice to finally see them get the chance to show their stuff without constantly getting derided as the "Not Halo" developers.
Better a slightly wonky great story than "Link! Link! Go to the castle! Do the thing!"
hey just cause gameplay may be unoriginal doesn't mean the game itself is unoriginal) i don't remember watchdogs being called assassins creed clone for example (which it was)
Congrats, man! That seems like a lot of hard work. I really enjoyed my playthrough of this game, but I didn’t bother to try to find all the collectibles, or finish all the hunter lodge challenges. The Frozen Wilds story got me all teary-eyed, too.
That talking to yourself skit is by far my new favorite skit you've done, it hits REALLY close to home on some of these games lol
But, there are guns. Just none that are immediately recognizable.
KageRyuuUji what are the guns than. I've seen a lot of the game and I didn't see any

@@toolshedvideo yea, their limited ammo and slow you down quiet a bit but theire damage output is unmatch.

Remember to get the complete edition and not the standard one if you get round to it.
No worries there. I specifically held off on buying the game until the complete edition was out.
Nel_Annette complete edition is only 20 bucks at gamestop now (7 months later)
Do persona 5 next if youre up for it!
John J he's gotta do persona 1,2,3,4 before that and don't forget the spinoffs. A persona/SMT month is would be nice
John J yes he should review the GOTY
Spinff of Persona? and those are..? Q? and?
Nevermind. i forgot P4 got 2 spin off.
Don't forget Dancing all Night.....
247 games down, so so many to go... gotta love every moment.
Honestly, ultra hard mode was pretty hard, but i think there are a few things that Jirard did not do. Not sure if he did not use them often, or if he just has no footage of it, but I did not see use of double and triple arrows. I also saw that he was playing with the shield weaver armor. The armor is good, but its better to pick your armor specifically for each type of enemy. With shield weaver on ultra hard mode, you are a 2 shot, one for the shield, and one for all your hp. If you use Nora Defender while fighting a robot that attacks with no elements, like the Sawtooth, then you can take maybe 3-4 hits before death.
I want to take this moment to thank the Completionist for teaching me how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Hollow knight! Hollow knight! Hollow knight! Completionist episode please! Thankyou! Goodbye!
Sakari Ollikainen how good is hollow knight I'm a HUGE fan of metroidvanias and was thinking about buying it for the switch
Specter knight it was really good. You should totally buy it and play it. It has some hard bosses thou
Sakari Ollikainen good I don't want it to be easy but is it very exploration based similar to Castlevania symphony of the night?
Specter knight yeah it's really exploration based and the progress is well balanced.
Sakari Ollikainen Just wait for new series in completion videos.
Always wanted to know more about this game. Thank you Jirard.
I'm imagining the Lost Boys from Hook programming with fake computers in order to earn fake money to pay for their fake rainbow pudding.
This was my first PS game since the PS2. I picked this up when I picked up my PS5, and loved every minute of it. It was a pleasure to platinum.
I love horizon soooo much. I think it was beautiful and very creative, I actually just returned to horizon (again after playing the frozen wilds) for a new game plus play-through 😂
"And there's no guns?" Stay calm. Watch the whole review.
my only complaint for this game is limited melee combat.if it can be upgrade like weapons or improved fighting skills it will be epic.
God I love this game. There’s enough originality, character, charm and story there for this game to be made into a novel - or even a series of novels. It’s that good.
But the gameplay is sooooo clunky.
Riding a mount or God forbid you have to swim. It's am absolute nightmare.
Too bad that botw kinda stole this games spotlight
Talking to my sister about this game, she clued me in to the fact that, somehow, most of her friends that finished this game viewed Sobek as the villain. I couldn't wrap my brain around where they would come to that conclusion. The concept broke me.
23:32 Slight error here, you get to use the face paints and focus customizations in normal play too, you have to select them in the options menu.
This is my favorite game since Assassin's Creed 2 and Uncharted 2, and those came out a decade ago. Horizon is so beautiful and so unique, and the story is one of the best I've ever experienced, not just in games but in any media. Absolute masterpiece
Could you play Xenoblade Chronicles? please.
Nah, he'll get triggered by the OvErSeXuAlIzEd FeMaLe ChArAcTeRs
Ethan Bradberry He's probably talking about the first one, where that isn't a problem
Carlos Luis Arias Oversexualization in XC1 is just as prominent as in XC2. Both have plenty of jiggle physics and unnecessary outfits. I’d say the only thing that makes XC2 different is the inability to change clothing, making the oversexualization feel more forced onto the player. Overall, though, I think people only complain so much about it in XC2 because of the anime artstyle.
I’ll also say I’m not a fan at all of the oversexualization myself, but XC1 is hardly better in that regard.
Love this game.... haven’t watched your videos in years I’ve clearly missed out and I’m glad to be back . Keep kicking ass bud 👍
Yeah you can definitely tell which interactions were fully mocapped/lip synched and which were proceduraly done. Everyone becomes a bobblehead who can't seem to control their arms
I like when the main character has self dialogue
Now the only other game of the year nominee you need to complete is Persona 5 (please)
Wtf is he on about, there definitely was a cliffhanger, wait for our sequel ending.... wtf.
Yeah but at least the Storyline for the first game ENDED - he meant that most games these days don't even give you that
You mean the Stinger ending cutscene with Sylus after the credits?
That happens AFTER the credits, the main story concludes and clears up most if not all loose ends on the plot by that point. To me that didn't say 'wait for the sequel' it was saying 'did you like this? Give us a few years!' after doing what it set out to do.
Well, without spoiling much, Aloy's story does conclude nicely and she achieved her main goal for setting out beyond The Embrace. So perhaps, we might not even see her return as the star of the sequel. It would be of little consequence story-wise. Of course, I'd would die to play Aloy more but if GG goes another route, it's not going to leave loose threads re: Aloy laying about.
To be fair the two main story threads of the game are completely tied up. We know how the apocalypse happened and Aloy finished her journey to avenge Rost.
How the current mess actually happened and what Sylens is up to, now that's a new plot that can be explored later.
I think he just means there is a stand-alone story. It has a clear beginning, middle, and end.
Spoilers
Obviously they leave four big unanswered questions. What happened to Ted after he wiped out Apollo and killed the Alphas? Who or what sent the signal that unlocked Hades and the other AI’s from GAIA? What happens next with Sylens and the captured Hades? Can they rebuild GAIA, and if not can the terraforming sustain itself?
But it didn’t end on a “cliffhanger”. She stopped the re-apocalypse for a time.
I just finished this game, and just wow. This story is so thought provoking. The gameplay(besides the horse riding) is so freaking good. The set pieces are incredible. The world is beautiful and begs to be explored. Top 3 games of all time for me.
the enviroment is absoloutley breathtaking not gonna lie i love taking screenshots when i'm on a mountain or when the timings perfect
dude I haven't watched any of your vids in 2 years. good to see you're still doing great!
“that’s what it is an ending” 2021 Horizon forbidden west
Aloy might not be sexualized, but I find her hot as hell :o Also, I think HZD is loads better than Zelda: BoTW. Too bad it got overshadowed
Kane Harrison
"Some popular games" is a bit of an understatement. Mario, Pokémon, Smash Bros., and Zelda aren't exactly properties to scoff at. In fact, that's probably the reason BOTW overshadowed HZD. People would rather settle with a property they already love and trust than risk a completely new property that they may not be impressed with. Doesn't help that BOTW is the best-selling Zelda game (And rightly so) on the best-selling console
horizon zero dawn is among the best ps4 exclusive games in both 2017 and on the ps4 in general
There actually are guns, some eclipse soldiers use gatling guns and deathbringers drop them if you shoot them off
"Chloe" "Great character"
Hard to believe it's been three years and we've barely heard a peep about a sequel for this game
Killzone fans: amateur
How badly this aged
@@ahmadalaqib8148 My excitement is immeasurable and my faith has been proven!
@@briandurio6479 oh a blessed ver of a meme ohh that's rare and appealing
Please do a Completionist review on Transformers Devestation....
Yes!
I second that. I almost completed that one myself but the achievement to get like A rankings on every level was just too much of a pain for me, especially after beating the game like 6 times.
Is it devastation? Or are they removing people's vests?
"Why wouldn't they just call them cups" Aloy actually yells at the guy who you give the cups to because he wouldn't call them cups lol
There are guns tho. They are parts of the robots, but you still use them if you knock them off
Yeah, other than setting everyone on fire and watching them suffer as the heat burns their skin to ashes whitch is a big favourite of mine in all games, my favourite is definetely the ice arrows. Just something about the combination of the crack sound of the ice combined with the visual effects signifying the impact and the huge numbers popping up as you fire three sharpshoot arrows straight into a frozen thunderjaw's heart... Ooh, that's a lot of damage!
Great game!
This is why I don't have an X-Box.
James Robillard I have both. It's good, but not worth it if you don't like Halo.
Well of course, if you had an Xbox you wouldn't have games to play at all.
This game is the only reason i own a ps4. Everything else on the ps4 is garbage
@@CodyRPierce umm, excuse me? God of War. Uncharted. Crash bandicoot. Ratchet and Clank. Spyro. Medevil.
Either you have very puor taste or just a legit troll my friend. PS4 catalog is full of amazing games worth your time.
@@Shaathurray nope. I gow and uncharted were decent clones of older ps games but nothing to write home about. Crash has nevee interested me and R&C was fun when i was like 10. Spyro is a fun little derp game but i play is on xbox. Medieval is boring as all hell.
The ps4 catalogue has very very few games that make it worth owning as ones only console.
Any true gamer will tell you to have multiple gaming platforms.
Competitive players have PCs.
Casuals have nintendos.
Social players have xbox.
Solo players have PS.
Thats just how it is.
The mission objective section was pretty funny. Aloy is way more charming when she does it though. Lol
Fine. I'm subscribing... (and going through your popular videos)
This game on easy I found had the same difficulty as major corp games on hard at times. Which terrifys me what ultra hard is like.
it's damn hard. but the best, most interesting thing about ultrahard is not the usual reductino of damage taken and increase of aggression, but they legit changed the AI. the enemies are way smarter. they hunt YOU.
Really? I played on hard and it was easy, just made you have to fight in a boring way, got bored of it because it just made enemies take longer to kill, I’ll try playing again on normal sometime probably
Hey! You trimmed your beard and cut your hair :O
Beards need some grooming before they go haywire ;)
he looks good!
Yeah, he always looks great!
It shows the sad state of the "triple eh" development mindset where making a solid and creative game is seen as risky.
This action adventure game is really good from the beginning not like other big AAA games which takes time to explain things,boring many times but in this game from the first girl child cutscene it was making me curious to explore the story. We become character from the first few minutes like I am Alloy where in most games it feels like main character is a third person. Also this game has robots and ai like many games already had but it was always a fresh world for me. Plot, camera work, visuals, sound, music , environment, characters, gameplay mechanism all good balance. Game looks better when we play it. Ps4 slim played this smooth 24 or 30 fps made this game cinematic . Now it is with 60 and 120fps on PC , ps5.😮😊
I'm a bit late, especially since I've already viewed this but, the frog in the opening should have been Hypnotoad.
Here my wish list:
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3
Wario Land II

Wario Land 4
Wario Land: Shake It!

A Hat in Time
Bendy and the Ink Machine

You remind me of ROST😭😭😭
Next game should be dragons dogma
This game just leaves my jaw dropping. IT'S SO DAMN GORGEOUS!! And the level of detail to its creation are AMAZING. Like its sound design, my Lord. The robot animals are MASTERFULLY designed. I want a PS4 for this game FIRST. It's so dang amazing.
Oh and Jirard, it's AH-loy. It's a play off alloy.
Why the fuck are we always complaining about sexy protagonists? What the hell is wrong with a sexualized protagonist? There are male and female protagonists that are erotic in some way. It's sex appeal, why is everyone mad about sex appeal in my goddamn rated T-M games?
I relate to Aloy because I also talk to myself like a crazy person
Right?! I don't know about you, but I didn't even notice it in the game...
Maybe I should get that checked..
