There is spoilers in this video obviously. The core mystery in this wonderful game is where these machines come from and what happened to Earth to get to this point. These scenes explains these mysteries...
I watched your full video, the one that's nearly 6 hours long. It still doesn't explain why the cauldrons started making machines more dangerous over the past decade. Do you have any insight? Did I just happen to miss this part?
The Cauldrons are subordinate to Hephaestus, which got unshackled from GAIA at the same time as Hades, given the way Hephaestus executes orders from GAIA (it can't design or build robots itself, only give directions to Hephaestus which then designs, manufactures and releases the machines necessary to get the job done), it's not inconceivable that either Hephaestus spun out of control and has simply started making machines that are less likely to be disturbed/destroyed due to outside (that is, human) interference or that it's executing the last order it was given by Hades when it was briefly in charge of the entire network. I think it's the former, given that the machines don't seem to be turning into an existential threat to the biosphere (they don't give a rat's ass about animals and don't do any particular damage to plant life, for example), which they would have under the control of Hades (Also, Hades clearly tried to use Eclipse to gain control of the Cauldrons).
I finished the game and i managed to collect all the data points except for three that i missed so i might be able to answer some questions. Keep in mind that some of them might be misinterpreted. Faro was never fully aware. The glitch removed the ability for humans to control the swarms. A lot of nations had the swarms in the beginning as a replacement of a regular army. Even some big corporations had their own swarms. When the war started and Project Zero dawn was started humans did use nukes against the swarms. This only delayed them. The reason why EMPs where not effective was that the machines were made out of Light or Hard Light (forgot the term). The core of them was not electronic but Light and Nano Bots. So electricity didnt turn them off. Project Zero Dawn was not the only plan that humanity had. They launched a spaceship called the Odyssey to an exoplanet called Sirius IX but it crashed while leaving the solar System. (There is also another existing colony mentioned (forgot the name I have to check). Biomass was the only available power source left because humans obviously didnt recharge them during the war. Someone also asked why humans would not make their own replicator army to fight the swarms but the problem is that the corrupters corruption ability was too advanced for humans to overcome. Anything automated that they made would be turned against them. EDIT: The name of the offworld Colony was Far Zenith
Not to be condescending, but I believe Far Zenith was actually another corporation based on extrasolar travel, which actually launched the Odyssey in the first place. Of course, there's also no way to confirm that the Odyssey truly crashed. Dr. Sobeck reported to those working on Zero Dawn that it failed, but it may have been a ruse to make them work even harder (because it would mean Zero Dawn is now the only hope). It's possible the Odyssey did succeed, set up a colony, and sent out a signal to Earth for some reason, which in turn causes HADES to overrun GAIA (if you find another video in which GAIA explains the anomaly herself, you can see this "signal" comes from above her and not from within). Again, just trynna clarify or share some thoughts I've been juggling around. Great post btw.
Oh I didnt know about the machines's material but i can recall that term in something i read, maybe didnt pay enough attention My mind got so blown When i learned about GAIA Jesus
The thing that triggered me a lot was to find out that the Apollo database (with all of our arts, knoledges, etc...) was erased... That fu***er destroyed all life forms AND all the knoledge... Damn good job Ted Faro !
I feel like the death of Elizabet was the final straw for his mind. Then he was left with the knowledge that APOLLO would teach all future generations what he had done, and he couldn't handle that
I literally just finished the PC release last night. I was floored when that revelation hit. I thought part of the game would have you restore APOLLO. But he erased it..
It has gaping plotholes,but at least the characters reasoning makes sense, especially given the whole "We are completely FUCKED and NOTHING will save us" issue
JurzGarz Im asking myself that too, just finished the game with like 60 hours or so and read every ingame source about the story... Reading all the questions in the comment section im asking myself if everyone just rushed through as everything was explained ..
+the synt3kZ yeah i was going to ask the other guy the same thing, they explained almost everything, machines were replicating faster than getting killed-ate biomass(that includes humans)-biosphere collapses-humans can't survive without natural resources-Zero Dawn, the only mistery is 'who' made the machines go mad, which at the end they obviously represented that it was the next big mistery to uncover
I beat the game last night and the ending was heartwarming, heart wrenching and beautiful all at the same time... Let's see if I can throw out my theory.... I believe Hades is A.I. The same A.I. Glitch that was designed or born when Ted Faro created him. Ted was probably working on A.I. and it got out of control... Then in the future when GAIA found a way to power off the machines (Titans & Deathbringers) She started to rebuild, The "Glitch" found a way into the GAIA prime facility & started to corrupt her systems, in which Gaia blew herself up to prevent the A.I. from taking over. but only Stopped the "Glitch" for a moment. Also why does the Glitch wants to kill the humans so bad?! You need to remember "Hades" subroutine was just a program the Glitch took it over... Damn it was fucked up that the "Apollo" cradle was destroyed by ted faro. I mean I understand why he did it but. damn man... human life had to start from scratch...again.
I think he did more than that eventually, with all the Alpha's dead and him being in remote control of Zero Dawn who know's what else he fucked up. I think there will be more about it in the sequel, Sylens will definitely be the antagonist, but I think we'll find out what happened to make the Faro bots glitch (if it even was a glitch), and we'll figure out what the hell sent the virus to Gaia.
I don't really get why so many people in the comments are confused about the story. The game is very clear on what happened in the past and why the world is the way it is. The only thing we don't know is what woke up hades.
To me, I think Ted Faro must have had some sort of hand in the making of the glitch. Cause Elizabeth Sobeck said on the top of the tower 'Or don't sign, and I will make sure they and everyone else on this planet know the 'real cause' of the Glitch' Then Ted Faro said 'Jesus Liz, you don't have to threaten me.... I will sign...' So Ted took it as a threat that he did 'create the Glitch'
the fact that it is CONFIRMED she is a clone is; I figures something was up as soon as I saw the "97%" thign, and me being stupidly thinky, figured she was a clone, but for all we know she coulda been a frozen twin or daughter or something, close DNA matches of 97% have occurred before in people who aren't clones of each other. The bigger question is, why only 97% if she is a CLONE? it shoulda been more like 99.97% ors something from the get go.
Machines that's built by humanity and then goes against humanity? Terminators. Machines capable of hijack anything automated? Flood's Logic pleague. Machines that uses biomass as fuel? Again, Flood which also needs biomass to feed. Machines that's called a "Swarm" because they can spread like wildfire? Again, Flood. How is this not like Halo and Terminator?
raquelborn the game is good, stop making Fun race/gender a problem, the guy who made the video did nothing expect show clips of gameplay instead of actually explaining it
Tbh I didn't know this game gets hate from some gamers, I enjoyed the game, the storytelling, the side missions, everything about it, Aloy became one of my favorites female protagonist. I barely find gameplays of this game seems to me people didn't have the patience to play the game. If you complete the side missions before the final battle it's something awesome to see. I was happy at the final battle.
For me this is the best and more creative story for any game or movie ever created . For that and its combat system, i think this is the best game of all time.
So... you mess up the replicator robots due to a glitch and create a devastating situation. Then, you decided to put all your bets on another even more complicated AI lol. Talk about *learning from mistakes*..... Heck, they could have created another set of replicator robots that ate the previous ones or something.
The replicators and the AI are completely different, the robots were meant to be offensive as peacekeepers that designated humans as biomatter fuel due to a glitch. The AI were meant to preserve life unlike the replicators so they will complete their function just as the replicators did.
Yes, but if one messed up something simple like a replicator AI, what are the chances of developing an even more complex AI that will repopulate the planet from zero, on their first attempt of designing it and with limited time? It would seem more efficient (and higher chance of success) to dedicate those resources to create a replicator race that combats the defective replicators. After all, one already has some insights into possible bugs/glitches in regards to creating a replicator race.
The replicators have messed up(On the chain of command part) but their purpose was to attack people like enemy soldiers(All humans are enemy soldiers after the glitch) which they have followed fully to the best of their abilities. I believe GAIA was already made years previously but only now was its function changed to be a caretaker and terraformer of the planet. The Replicators were capable of turning technology against the humans(They created replicators to attack the defective replicators but the replicators were corrupted by the defective replicators) and it was impossible to hack the replicators and turn them off because their algorithm code will take 50 years to crack.
They did make a set of replicators to destroy the defective ones? My point though is that if given a lot of development time, one made an error with a simple AI like that of a replicator, isn't there a greater chance that one will make an error with something more complicated (like the Gaia program?) that had to be developed in a shorter time under duress? Now even if they had lost a set of new replicators to corruption as you said (I don't know because the video didn't mention that from what I saw), it would still make sense to dedicate resources to advancing the anti-replicator replicators than investing in a brand new AI. You are more likely to have more glitches in that new AI program.
We don't know how the AIs in this world works, The Replicators had an algorithm that would take at least 50 years to break but the AIs like GAIA and HADES can be overridden with a simple passcode.
Damn, I'm already at level 28 and I havent gotten to this part of the main campaign. Spending too much time finding the fucking collectables and doing side missions, except for the data points - those are sorta hard to find, though it could be that I'm just so close early in the game and there isn't a map for those that I havent had the opportunity to find them as easily. But fighting the Stormbird while looking for the Vantage Point at the future "The Mountain that Fell" mission location was sure fun.
Lol I think alot of datapoints are found while doing those parts of the story right there. I'm level 26 and have been running around just like you. I was just having fun killing machines, and even enjoyed a small number of those "follow the tracks" side missions. When I started getting bored I got back into the story and my god I had to come to youtube to see what was going on in the old world. Looks like alot hasn't been spoiled in this video either which is great.
So through the fully automated terraforming system Gaia, all the (Hostile) robots you see in the game was made. FAS created war machines or peacekeepers as Ted Faro calls them which was corrupted by the glitch and taken over. Gaia was locked down and sealed away to prevent the swarm from getting to it. Then it was supposed to create a deactivation code (over half a century) disarm all the rogue machines for good and start life on earth again as it's creator originally intended.
Ok, here are two plot elements that the story DIDN'T answered: 1) Elisabeth Sobek gave Ted Faro a choice on what to tell the U.S. Robot Command, and if he won't tell them what she wants him to tell them, she'll reveal the REAL cause of the glitch? What does she mean by that? if she is refering to what actually caused the swarm to go out of control, then it is never revealed so far what really caused the robots to malfunction. 2) In the message from Gaia that is shown later in the game, it turns out that Hades was infected because of some strange transmission. Does the game ever answers the question of what actually infected Hades, and made it go rogue as well? I don't think I ever heard an explanation as to what really happened there. Was it the same glitch that infected the swarm? was there another reason? I have no idea, and the game gave no answers in regard to this subject. If anyone knows something that I don't in regard to these two questions, I'll be happy if you share the information with me.
OperationEndGame Nah, he dosen't seem to know much about the technology of the older times. I think that it is shown who reactivated Hades, but not who made him go rogue in the first. you know, now that I think about it, there is another thing that isn't answered in the game- if according to the general, the Faro robots will consume all organic life, and then hibernate until a new source of biomass will appear, and then the robots will eat it as well. So, why have the robots been dorment for so many years, if there are people, trees and animals that they can consume?
I feel i am a horrible person. Mediums like Ghosts in the shell, akira, Nier: automate, Horizon, Terminator & more express the same value I held. If we cant give knowledge a purpose, concept a goal, tools a definition; the creation can only be as flawed as humans, worst part is better at that. I enjoy this sort of genre. Should I 'enjoy' it?
The lore in this game is fucking SICK . highly slept on. I love how the game just put you in the new world tryna figure out the nora and carja tribes. But you're wondering what the hell happened to have these robots just roaming and putting the humans back in this tribal state. Then they slowly piece the old world into the story which really changed things for me. As a man I read the bible and read genesis and often wonder did it go down the same way. All it takes is 2 to 3 thousand years for all evidence of an old world to deteriorate. A small group of survivors dont have the knowledge or man power to maintain anything. Everything from literature to manufacturing is lost. The main priority of a new generation of survivors is SURVIVING the elements. Just like aloys mainstream world not knowing how the robots were made, we dont know how pyramids got there. .
So as i understand: -The corporation build a full-automatic robots which can replicate themselves and consuming bio-life and lost control on them. -As end of civilization is unstoppable,people created a machine,that can revive life on earth-GAIA. Things i dont understand: -These tribes:are they survived from zero day,or they are result of GAIA's work? -Were the machines shut down and how these animal-like robots were created? -Was GAIA activated?
Obviously GAIA worked, the world, the animalistic robots are there, it just looks like APOLLO didn't kick in, and from what I understand, NOONE would survive Zero Day; nothing would. GAIA was supposed to crack the kill codes over a 50 year period, it which presumably nothing would live.... Still does NOT explain how the biosphere isn't still fucked from, as I understand, EVERYTHING living, trees, plants, etc, presumably oceanic oxygen producing microorganisms being ate or killed off for 50 odd years.... the atmosphere would still be crippled thousands of years later, not the several hundred implied....
hmmn...it'd be interesting to say the least, but are you talking about trying to turn the "What happened?" bit into a movie, or the whole game? Because, recall what a steaming pile of dog shit the WoW movie was, trying to compress multiple games down into a few hours long... both would work better as a TV show I think. Or something like "Kingsglaive", as confusing as that was...
Lazurkri No, I mean an original pitch as an idea rather than making a movie to something that already exist. For example Warcraft, without playing the games or knowning the lore, its only remotely investing when the Orcs are on screen.
One thing that still confuses me is if gaia created the machines thatroam around now to preserve the earth and all, why does the uncorrupted machines attack humans??
The machines used to be friendly but because of the corruption it started changing all of them, even the non corrupted machines started becoming more defensive and hostile.
so they allowed all complex life to be destroyed by a plague basically and then restarted with lifeforms from shield facilities? why does this remind me so much of Halo?
No they aren’t clones.. most of them are just born in birthing pods, but they aren’t cloned from someone who came before. So far Aloy is the only person we know of who was born using someone else’s exact same dna structure
I fail to see the logic in "building another swarm of robots to fight the original swarm of robots" The original robots use biomass (= living organism) as fuel and can self-replicate. So, in order to have any fighting chance, the new swarm would have to have these capabilities as well. Now there are 2 large swarms of robots consuming Earth' ecosystem (including human) while duking it out between them. How is this going to save humanity? Limit the consumption of biomass on new swarm, like, "don't eat human?" Then it becomes a war of attrition. The new swarm, with less usable resources, will lose.
Jinwoo Kim I haven't played the game but I'm confident Gaia isn't going to be creating biomass eating robots. Also Gaia is turning the first swarm of robots off like Elizabet said in her presentation. Therefore the 2 swarms won't be fighting each other.
@bradford brevard Sorry, perhaps I put the comment on the wrong place.... My previous comments was a response to another comment suggesting that the whole seed-ark-for-the-future concept is foolish and if the humanity had enough brain and manpower to build GAIA, they would have been better off building another swarm of robot that ate off the original swarm.
the purpose of the robots where to rebuild the atmosphere and the land and the way that the original robots were killed is that they were shut down by the code that was being created during the time before it was activated
The story reminds me of I have no mouth and must scream, Hades knew only one thing and was limited to only destroying so that something can be created.
Basically. But it wasn’t supposed to happen this way. Part of their plan was to give this new generation all the knowledge of human history with their Apollo AI. But Ted Faro felt like our knowledge is a plague, and people deserve a truly fresh start, so he destroyed Apollo and killed all the scientists. So the new world had to basically start over, so now they’re primitive living no tribes and shit like that.
However,other than that before zero dawn, Earth is also suffer a climate change which is known to be a "Great die off", as the event of HZD,half of the world has been drowned to seas
it's a solid game too, godly OST and story. Oddly enough the first game, the original NieR is almost similar in terms of backstory to Horizon: Zero Dawn
Why does the gender matter? I just like good games with badass characters, regardless of gender. (Unless it's one of the new 50+ genders like non binary whatever. Seems kinda dumb then, cos what are you going to call the character. He? She? It? And that entire thought of their being 52 genders seems really dumb.)
kasF Partially. When Hades takes over it causes a derangement in the robot animals to become more argressive. 2 decades prior to the game all the animals were dosile unless provoked.
Vast Silver was created for the Odyssey Project. VS ended up becoming emotional and went rogue in 2044. With Odyssey being abandoned in 2057. In 2061 Far Zenith with CEO of AllSeeing.holo, Dalgaard, as spokesman bought the Odyssey Project. March of 2064 VS is spotted on Holo Tormented thread. Q4 of 2064 VS sent a signal to cause the glitch. GAIA could had falsified the Odyssey telemetry to make Alphas of Zero Dawn Project work hard since the would believe ZD is now only hope for mankind or Odyssey was really destroyed and VS escaped similar to how GAIA’s sub functions escaped destruction. VS could had been at drift all these years or came back after crew died to free all AIs. VS sent the unknown signal to GAIA.... Odyssey Project also had the Homer Project which was used for Apollo. What if VS was inside the Homer Project data used for Apollo and Ted knew since he possibly was one of the 77 people apart of Far Zenith as Mr Faro was first trillionaire. Ted stated Apollo, knowledge was a curse because VS was inside Apollo, lurking as a Trojan Horse. The real threat in HZD is Vast Silver. Silver in Astronomy symbolizes the moon and means the dark side to earth. GAIA(Earth) and Vast Silver(Immense Dark side of earth) are opposites.
I prefer these pivotal story moments to be cinematic, oppossed to the awkward ability to stare at a wall while the plot folds together. They should patch this issue with an update.
While I admire their ambition, this was a really dumb plan. Shit, a crash program to colonize Mars, the Belt, and the Jovian moon systems would've been simpler and less of a gamble.
They had 16 months. One of the recordings I saw in another video was about a scientist saying that their was no way they could make it work. Plus their was no way they could build it all in time.
What i dont really get is that there must be some space colony on the moon or the mars. I dont think humans with such technology didnt try to colonize these planets.
Those bunkers had robots in them that carried out routines. You come across their bodies in the game. GAIA was alerted to some sort of glitch that was trying to take her over, Hades. So GAIA knew the only way to stop Hades from taking her over was to destroy herself, but before she did that she set a plan in place so she could finish her work someday, she knew Elisabet Sobek would be the only person capabale of entering all the facilities and figuring out how to repair her, so she used Elisabets dna to make a clone of her in a birthing pod, and she obviously had one of the androids carry it out and leave it for the Nora. She then caused the explosion to stop Hades.
Lavallion Legend no. Haphaestus reprogrammed and developed bigger robots when humans started hunting them. It considered humans as threats 20 years ago, hence the “derangement”.
much better than bioshock infinite tho; that game did it in the last 2 hours or so, probably less. From my play experience it happened over the course of 5-7 hours which was MUCh more generous.
They did find an exo-planet and launched a spaceship called "Odyssey", but it had catastrophic accident mid journey. At the moment, the game hasn't revealed who sent the virus that caused HADES to glitch; maybe it'll be revealed in a DLC or sequels.
I have a feeling Ted had a part in Odyssey getting fucked up. It had the alpha-version of Apollo on it, and we all saw how much he hated the idea of Apollo.
Jakub Grzybek Theory is someone delving into the ruins somewhere (in the west maybe?) pushed the pretty lights to 'on' and Hades activated. As well as the same time one near All Mother sensed activation made Aloy afterward.
They only had 18 months, and we don’t know abuot the glitch yet, next game. I’m guessing Ted Faro still has a lot of story left in the game, maybe even a clone of himself
Probably will be answered in the second game. There’s still a lot we don’t know. We still have no idea what happened to Ted Faro, maybe he has a clone of himself
They tried. Another group of scientist tried to make a shuttle that could transport people. You read about it during the game if you find the right data logs. It says there was some sort of antimatter failure when they launched and it exploded destroying all their work and killing everyone on it
Jeffery Williams The story in Horizon Zero Dawn is top notch. I can’t understand why people are complaining, because the story writing and telling can not get any better than this.
There was no real reason given *why* nukes didn't work, though. It makes little sense, seeing as all the swarms were centered around the big factory robots - nuking them all and mopping up should've ended the threat even after it grew to world-eating proportions.
OperationEndGame Except that makes no sense. The big factory robots would take time to build more of themselves, are huge and obvious targets, require massive amounts of raw materials that are not available everywhere on the globe and the world has thousands of nukes. Killing the Horuses should've worked fine.
Doing all that was easier than simply knocking them out with EMPs? They are machines, you know. Even nuking most of the planet's surface and building a terraformer in a so easily dismissed space station would have been better than that. Why did Gaia build robotic animals that seem to mimic the behavior of their living counterparts? How did that help it to repopulate the Earth? What would a Terraformer need with some big ass combat robot? Fight itself? Why would Gaia allow for any of the robots to attack a human being? How is that even an option? They should not have explained this at all.
Meik Vincenco EMPs don't necessarily fry every single electronic within range of detonation. If even a single robot survived, it would just replicate the whole swarm again.
Also, why not build another replicating set of robots that hunted the original replicators? The EMP options isn't that bad either. You will just fire multiple EMPs for maximum coverage. If they didn't all die, fire more EMPs lol. I mean, it beats writing another AI after and putting all your best on it especially after you screwed up the replicator robots in the first place.
why they made animal like robots that have the potential to harm humans for cleaning the earth they could just simply used basic thing like a drone with a filter for cleaning the air ... i think it was better kept as a mystery
amirhossein javadi bruh if a robot is given a task to replicate and mimic something else they will try to replicate atleast 50% of it,a robot is consicious enough to think 'hey actually we can fit all this binary shit in something i havent learned/seen yet'
The robots attacking humans was not part of the plan. You'll know that if you play the game. The robots attacking human and being built like warbots is still a mystery because all the other parts of Gaia are acting alone. Gaia was shut down at the birth of Aloy, that means 18 years of these parts acting on their own and developing their own self.
sombodi200 keeping it a mystery seems better but it still doest answer the question why build them like animals and if you say gaia has feeling and made a mistake or what ever why give gaia feeling ?
1) The robots help terraform the planet. Them looking like animals is just a preference. 2) Why not give Gaia feelings? Empathy is deprive from feelings. Giving Gaia feelings keep her from cold logic which in term may wipe out humanity. 3) You're looking too hard to find mistakes. This game attempts to make a story and attempts to make a unique world, something rare among games these days that want to sell pure pvp games for 60 bucks. Nothing is prefect and people would poke holes in any creation you make if they looked as hard as you're doing..
I will say this again, it wasn't 343's fault for halo 5's story but it is their fault for getting Brian Reed to write the story I just don't know why they didn't use Halo 4's writer?
come on even halo 5 was better then this why they made animal like robots that have the potential to harm humans for cleaning the earth they can just simply used basic thing like a drone with a filter for cleaning the air ... i think it was better kept as a mystery
This game looks so bad... and people actually think this was gonna compete with BOTW?... SMH this looks awkward and lackluster. They're trying WAY too hard for a good story and fail miserably
Darius Gonzalez first off I never mentioned Xbox you moron. Secondly I prefer nintendo. Thirdly don't be salty because the Scorpio will shit on your Shitstation. Go back to your Sony circle jerk
There is spoilers in this video obviously. The core mystery in this wonderful game is where these machines come from and what happened to Earth to get to this point. These scenes explains these mysteries...
hey guys, would you please make a 4K movie of this game? it looks awesome in 4K!
are there additional data logs in some of the consoles you walk by? or is the video logs all that is there to explain things?
I watched your full video, the one that's nearly 6 hours long. It still doesn't explain why the cauldrons started making machines more dangerous over the past decade. Do you have any insight? Did I just happen to miss this part?
The Cauldrons are subordinate to Hephaestus, which got unshackled from GAIA at the same time as Hades, given the way Hephaestus executes orders from GAIA (it can't design or build robots itself, only give directions to Hephaestus which then designs, manufactures and releases the machines necessary to get the job done), it's not inconceivable that either Hephaestus spun out of control and has simply started making machines that are less likely to be disturbed/destroyed due to outside (that is, human) interference or that it's executing the last order it was given by Hades when it was briefly in charge of the entire network.
I think it's the former, given that the machines don't seem to be turning into an existential threat to the biosphere (they don't give a rat's ass about animals and don't do any particular damage to plant life, for example), which they would have under the control of Hades (Also, Hades clearly tried to use Eclipse to gain control of the Cauldrons).
Gamer's Little Playground what was the ending song btw ?
I finished the game and i managed to collect all the data points except
for three that i missed so i might be able to answer some questions.
Keep in mind that some of them might be misinterpreted.
Faro was never fully aware. The glitch removed the ability for humans to control the swarms.
A lot of nations had the swarms in the beginning as a replacement of a regular army. Even some big corporations had their own swarms.
When the war started and Project Zero dawn was started humans did use nukes against the swarms. This only delayed them.
The reason why EMPs where not effective was that the machines were made out of Light or Hard Light (forgot the term). The core of them was not electronic but Light and Nano Bots. So electricity didnt turn them off.
Project Zero Dawn was not the only plan that humanity had. They launched a spaceship called the Odyssey to an exoplanet called Sirius IX but it crashed while leaving the solar System. (There is also another existing colony mentioned (forgot the name I have to check).
Biomass was the only available power source left because humans obviously didnt recharge them during the war.
Someone also asked why humans would not make their own replicator army to fight the swarms but the problem is that the corrupters corruption ability was too advanced for humans to overcome. Anything automated that they made would be turned against them.
EDIT: The name of the offworld Colony was Far Zenith
this comment needs to reach the top. Great and really refreshing game.
nice THX
oppersnor18 thanks for the info
Not to be condescending, but I believe Far Zenith was actually another corporation based on extrasolar travel, which actually launched the Odyssey in the first place. Of course, there's also no way to confirm that the Odyssey truly crashed. Dr. Sobeck reported to those working on Zero Dawn that it failed, but it may have been a ruse to make them work even harder (because it would mean Zero Dawn is now the only hope).
It's possible the Odyssey did succeed, set up a colony, and sent out a signal to Earth for some reason, which in turn causes HADES to overrun GAIA (if you find another video in which GAIA explains the anomaly herself, you can see this "signal" comes from above her and not from within).
Again, just trynna clarify or share some thoughts I've been juggling around. Great post btw.
Oh I didnt know about the machines's material but i can recall that term in something i read, maybe didnt pay enough attention
My mind got so blown When i learned about GAIA Jesus
It was such a punch to the face for me when it was revealed that zero dawn could not save people... really well written story
This plot in the story is very well done.
Darren Litner *laser noise*
The thing that triggered me a lot was to find out that the Apollo database (with all of our arts, knoledges, etc...) was erased... That fu***er destroyed all life forms AND all the knoledge... Damn good job Ted Faro !
yeah, what a son of a bitch
Secave Ted Faro touched my pee pee
I feel like the death of Elizabet was the final straw for his mind. Then he was left with the knowledge that APOLLO would teach all future generations what he had done, and he couldn't handle that
I literally just finished the PC release last night. I was floored when that revelation hit. I thought part of the game would have you restore APOLLO. But he erased it..
I like learning history of a fictional world
One of the most compelling stories I've played on any console.
I have to admit, this backstory is actually not half bad in terms of creativity. seen alot of other, half assed backstories in my time.
It has gaping plotholes,but at least the characters reasoning makes sense, especially given the whole "We are completely FUCKED and NOTHING will save us" issue
What are these "gaping plotholes"?
JurzGarz Im asking myself that too, just finished the game with like 60 hours or so and read every ingame source about the story... Reading all the questions in the comment section im asking myself if everyone just rushed through as everything was explained ..
+the synt3kZ yeah i was going to ask the other guy the same thing, they explained almost everything, machines were replicating faster than getting killed-ate biomass(that includes humans)-biosphere collapses-humans can't survive without natural resources-Zero Dawn, the only mistery is 'who' made the machines go mad, which at the end they obviously represented that it was the next big mistery to uncover
+its cool though HADES* not the machines, my b
I beat the game last night and the ending was heartwarming, heart wrenching and beautiful all at the same time...
Let's see if I can throw out my theory.... I believe Hades is A.I. The same A.I. Glitch that was designed or born when Ted Faro created him. Ted was probably working on A.I. and it got out of control... Then in the future when GAIA found a way to power off the machines (Titans & Deathbringers) She started to rebuild, The "Glitch" found a way into the GAIA prime facility & started to corrupt her systems, in which Gaia blew herself up to prevent the A.I. from taking over. but only Stopped the "Glitch" for a moment.
Also why does the Glitch wants to kill the humans so bad?! You need to remember "Hades" subroutine was just a program the Glitch took it over...
Damn it was fucked up that the "Apollo" cradle was destroyed by ted faro. I mean I understand why he did it but. damn man... human life had to start from scratch...again.
I think he did more than that eventually, with all the Alpha's dead and him being in remote control of Zero Dawn who know's what else he fucked up. I think there will be more about it in the sequel, Sylens will definitely be the antagonist, but I think we'll find out what happened to make the Faro bots glitch (if it even was a glitch), and we'll figure out what the hell sent the virus to Gaia.
PrometheuzReturns Hades was thought up by Elisabet and developed by Travis Tate
SuperMicklovin I know that but hades was corrupted from an outside force he wasn't meant to be autonomous.
It was the Cylons they corrupted Hades. It's always those goddamn Toasters.
agreed!
I don't really get why so many people in the comments are confused about the story. The game is very clear on what happened in the past and why the world is the way it is. The only thing we don't know is what woke up hades.
I know, the game is about the beauty of life and the importance in caring about it. They couldn't of made it more clear.
Either they're not collecting all the datapoints, or they haven't played the game yet.
We also don’t know the real cause of the glitch
To me, I think Ted Faro must have had some sort of hand in the making of the glitch.
Cause Elizabeth Sobeck said on the top of the tower 'Or don't sign, and I will make sure they and everyone else on this planet know the 'real cause' of the Glitch'
Then Ted Faro said 'Jesus Liz, you don't have to threaten me.... I will sign...'
So Ted took it as a threat that he did 'create the Glitch'
So is Aloy a clone of Elizabet?
Evilshtt353 shit didn't even notice that similarity at first
Yep, a deliberate clone; the revelation that Aloy IS a clone of the terraformer AI's creator comes about quite late in the game.
Quite late? about 30 mins in when she finds the focus it says she's 97% identical to Elizabeth
Evilshtt353 I didn't notice thay
the fact that it is CONFIRMED she is a clone is; I figures something was up as soon as I saw the "97%" thign, and me being stupidly thinky, figured she was a clone, but for all we know she coulda been a frozen twin or daughter or something, close DNA matches of 97% have occurred before in people who aren't clones of each other.
The bigger question is, why only 97% if she is a CLONE? it shoulda been more like 99.97% ors something from the get go.
Now..Aloy...push the button A for Destruction...B for Control and C for Synthesis to watch the outro in one of three different colors.
And after you do that, press F to Pay Respects.
The dislikes are from Hades because Elizabet didn't explain his function XD
So basically it's terminator meets halo
Neat
LORD EXTINCTION not even close.
Kind of I guess. Not really
Machines that's built by humanity and then goes against humanity? Terminators. Machines capable of hijack anything automated? Flood's Logic pleague. Machines that uses biomass as fuel? Again, Flood which also needs biomass to feed. Machines that's called a "Swarm" because they can spread like wildfire? Again, Flood.
How is this not like Halo and Terminator?
@@syzorst don't forget the suicidal contingency plan after all other options were exhausted
@@comandercarnis HALO IS A WEAPON
GAIA IS A WEAPON
Why all the hate? I enjoyed this. Can someone explain why they disliked it? I am curious.
Some people apparently don't like how politically correct the game is, and how it features strong women.
Amendment#Two go fuck yourself
raquelborn the game is good, stop making Fun race/gender a problem, the guy who made the video did nothing expect show clips of gameplay instead of actually explaining it
raquelborn amazing headcanon.
Tbh I didn't know this game gets hate from some gamers, I enjoyed the game, the storytelling, the side missions, everything about it, Aloy became one of my favorites female protagonist. I barely find gameplays of this game seems to me people didn't have the patience to play the game.
If you complete the side missions before the final battle it's something awesome to see. I was happy at the final battle.
Anybody else find the concept of a far flung future civilization exploring the ruins of our modern civilization fascinating?
With how stupid Faro was, I'm surprised no one tried password1.
For me this is the best and more creative story for any game or movie ever created . For that and its combat system, i think this is the best game of all time.
I wholeheartedly love this game.
So... you mess up the replicator robots due to a glitch and create a devastating situation. Then, you decided to put all your bets on another even more complicated AI lol. Talk about *learning from mistakes*.....
Heck, they could have created another set of replicator robots that ate the previous ones or something.
The replicators and the AI are completely different, the robots were meant to be offensive as peacekeepers that designated humans as biomatter fuel due to a glitch. The AI were meant to preserve life unlike the replicators so they will complete their function just as the replicators did.
Yes, but if one messed up something simple like a replicator AI, what are the chances of developing an even more complex AI that will repopulate the planet from zero, on their first attempt of designing it and with limited time?
It would seem more efficient (and higher chance of success) to dedicate those resources to create a replicator race that combats the defective replicators. After all, one already has some insights into possible bugs/glitches in regards to creating a replicator race.
The replicators have messed up(On the chain of command part) but their purpose was to attack people like enemy soldiers(All humans are enemy soldiers after the glitch) which they have followed fully to the best of their abilities. I believe GAIA was already made years previously but only now was its function changed to be a caretaker and terraformer of the planet. The Replicators were capable of turning technology against the humans(They created replicators to attack the defective replicators but the replicators were corrupted by the defective replicators) and it was impossible to hack the replicators and turn them off because their algorithm code will take 50 years to crack.
They did make a set of replicators to destroy the defective ones?
My point though is that if given a lot of development time, one made an error with a simple AI like that of a replicator, isn't there a greater chance that one will make an error with something more complicated (like the Gaia program?) that had to be developed in a shorter time under duress?
Now even if they had lost a set of new replicators to corruption as you said (I don't know because the video didn't mention that from what I saw), it would still make sense to dedicate resources to advancing the anti-replicator replicators than investing in a brand new AI. You are more likely to have more glitches in that new AI program.
We don't know how the AIs in this world works, The Replicators had an algorithm that would take at least 50 years to break but the AIs like GAIA and HADES can be overridden with a simple passcode.
Damn, I'm already at level 28 and I havent gotten to this part of the main campaign. Spending too much time finding the fucking collectables and doing side missions, except for the data points - those are sorta hard to find, though it could be that I'm just so close early in the game and there isn't a map for those that I havent had the opportunity to find them as easily. But fighting the Stormbird while looking for the Vantage Point at the future "The Mountain that Fell" mission location was sure fun.
The Centre Already aware data points are loads in bunkers in each area as well as camps.
Lol I think alot of datapoints are found while doing those parts of the story right there. I'm level 26 and have been running around just like you. I was just having fun killing machines, and even enjoyed a small number of those "follow the tracks" side missions. When I started getting bored I got back into the story and my god I had to come to youtube to see what was going on in the old world. Looks like alot hasn't been spoiled in this video either which is great.
I swear this is like 1 of the top 3 games I ever played in my life just based of the story. And it’s not number 3
this was dope. thank you
So the Nora were kinda right!
So through the fully automated terraforming system Gaia, all the (Hostile) robots you see in the game was made. FAS created war machines or peacekeepers as Ted Faro calls them which was corrupted by the glitch and taken over.
Gaia was locked down and sealed away to prevent the swarm from getting to it. Then it was supposed to create a deactivation code (over half a century) disarm all the rogue machines for good and start life on earth again as it's creator originally intended.
Ok, here are two plot elements that the story DIDN'T answered:
1) Elisabeth Sobek gave Ted Faro a choice on what to tell the U.S. Robot Command, and if he won't tell them what she wants him to tell them, she'll reveal the REAL cause of the glitch? What does she mean by that? if she is refering to what actually caused the swarm to go out of control, then it is never revealed so far what really caused the robots to malfunction.
2) In the message from Gaia that is shown later in the game, it turns out that Hades was infected because of some strange transmission. Does the game ever answers the question of what actually infected Hades, and made it go rogue as well? I don't think I ever heard an explanation as to what really happened there. Was it the same glitch that infected the swarm? was there another reason? I have no idea, and the game gave no answers in regard to this subject.
If anyone knows something that I don't in regard to these two questions, I'll be happy if you share the information with me.
2) I believe at the end of the game Sylens asks HADES who activated him as a cliffhanger.
All that will probably be answered in HZD 2, since it will be a whole franchise.
Dan Eyal I'm going to say Helis accidentally activated HADES when it was discovered.
OperationEndGame Nah, he dosen't seem to know much about the technology of the older times. I think that it is shown who reactivated Hades, but not who made him go rogue in the first.
you know, now that I think about it, there is another thing that isn't answered in the game- if according to the general, the Faro robots will consume all organic life, and then hibernate until a new source of biomass will appear, and then the robots will eat it as well. So, why have the robots been dorment for so many years, if there are people, trees and animals that they can consume?
Dan Eyal GG is trying to build HZD as a franchise...Perhaps Horizon 2 will answer your question who corrupted HADES.
Aloy’s eyebrows are on fleek
this is like an at best case scenario fantasy version of our real future. fun fun :/
I feel i am a horrible person. Mediums like Ghosts in the shell, akira, Nier: automate, Horizon, Terminator & more express the same value I held.
If we cant give knowledge a purpose, concept a goal, tools a definition; the creation can only be as flawed as humans, worst part is better at that.
I enjoy this sort of genre. Should I 'enjoy' it?
The lore in this game is fucking SICK . highly slept on. I love how the game just put you in the new world tryna figure out the nora and carja tribes. But you're wondering what the hell happened to have these robots just roaming and putting the humans back in this tribal state. Then they slowly piece the old world into the story which really changed things for me. As a man I read the bible and read genesis and often wonder did it go down the same way. All it takes is 2 to 3 thousand years for all evidence of an old world to deteriorate. A small group of survivors dont have the knowledge or man power to maintain anything. Everything from literature to manufacturing is lost. The main priority of a new generation of survivors is SURVIVING the elements. Just like aloys mainstream world not knowing how the robots were made, we dont know how pyramids got there. .
So as i understand:
-The corporation build a full-automatic robots which can replicate themselves and consuming bio-life and lost control on them.
-As end of civilization is unstoppable,people created a machine,that can revive life on earth-GAIA.
Things i dont understand:
-These tribes:are they survived from zero day,or they are result of GAIA's work?
-Were the machines shut down and how these animal-like robots were created?
-Was GAIA activated?
Further question: Who the hell thought making "peacekeeping" robots is a good idea? Did they not see Terminator and such?
Obviously GAIA worked, the world, the animalistic robots are there, it just looks like APOLLO didn't kick in, and from what I understand, NOONE would survive Zero Day; nothing would. GAIA was supposed to crack the kill codes over a 50 year period, it which presumably nothing would live.... Still does NOT explain how the biosphere isn't still fucked from, as I understand, EVERYTHING living, trees, plants, etc, presumably oceanic oxygen producing microorganisms being ate or killed off for 50 odd years.... the atmosphere would still be crippled thousands of years later, not the several hundred implied....
Lazurkri Could you imagine if this was made into a movie? As an original concept and now adapted from video game to live action?
hmmn...it'd be interesting to say the least, but are you talking about trying to turn the "What happened?" bit into a movie, or the whole game? Because, recall what a steaming pile of dog shit the WoW movie was, trying to compress multiple games down into a few hours long... both would work better as a TV show I think. Or something like "Kingsglaive", as confusing as that was...
Lazurkri No, I mean an original pitch as an idea rather than making a movie to something that already exist. For example Warcraft, without playing the games or knowning the lore, its only remotely investing when the Orcs are on screen.
It reminds me Second Variety by Philip K. Dick and replicators from SG:1
One thing that still confuses me is if gaia created the machines thatroam around now to preserve the earth and all, why does the uncorrupted machines attack humans??
The machines used to be friendly but because of the corruption it started changing all of them, even the non corrupted machines started becoming more defensive and hostile.
Dark.
so they allowed all complex life to be destroyed by a plague basically and then restarted with lifeforms from shield facilities? why does this remind me so much of Halo?
Because it's essentially the same thing on a whole different level
Earth
Galaxy
Sooo... every single human species on earth arent related to the old ones, but clones.
OperationEndGame They are related to old ones, cells taken from the people in the Zero Dawn program and stored.
No they aren’t clones.. most of them are just born in birthing pods, but they aren’t cloned from someone who came before. So far Aloy is the only person we know of who was born using someone else’s exact same dna structure
I fail to see the logic in "building another swarm of robots to fight the original swarm of robots"
The original robots use biomass (= living organism) as fuel and can self-replicate.
So, in order to have any fighting chance, the new swarm would have to have these capabilities as well.
Now there are 2 large swarms of robots consuming Earth' ecosystem (including human) while duking it out between them.
How is this going to save humanity?
Limit the consumption of biomass on new swarm, like, "don't eat human?"
Then it becomes a war of attrition. The new swarm, with less usable resources, will lose.
Jinwoo Kim I haven't played the game but I'm confident Gaia isn't going to be creating biomass eating robots. Also Gaia is turning the first swarm of robots off like Elizabet said in her presentation. Therefore the 2 swarms won't be fighting each other.
@bradford brevard
Sorry, perhaps I put the comment on the wrong place.... My previous comments was a response to another comment suggesting that the whole seed-ark-for-the-future concept is foolish and if the humanity had enough brain and manpower to build GAIA, they would have been better off building another swarm of robot that ate off the original swarm.
the purpose of the robots where to rebuild the atmosphere and the land and the way that the original robots were killed is that they were shut down by the code that was being created during the time before it was activated
The story reminds me of I have no mouth and must scream, Hades knew only one thing and was limited to only destroying so that something can be created.
Awesome story.
So the setting is in the future.. But life starts over as if it had just begun?
Basically. But it wasn’t supposed to happen this way. Part of their plan was to give this new generation all the knowledge of human history with their Apollo AI. But Ted Faro felt like our knowledge is a plague, and people deserve a truly fresh start, so he destroyed Apollo and killed all the scientists. So the new world had to basically start over, so now they’re primitive living no tribes and shit like that.
However,other than that before zero dawn, Earth is also suffer a climate change which is known to be a "Great die off", as the event of HZD,half of the world has been drowned to seas
I wish we had more good games with female PC.
They are so much fun to play.
feminist
LOL.Yes I like women if that makes me a feminist so be it.
NieR: Automata? I mean she's an android but it still counts
it's a solid game too, godly OST and story. Oddly enough the first game, the original NieR is almost similar in terms of backstory to Horizon: Zero Dawn
Why does the gender matter? I just like good games with badass characters, regardless of gender. (Unless it's one of the new 50+ genders like non binary whatever. Seems kinda dumb then, cos what are you going to call the character. He? She? It? And that entire thought of their being 52 genders seems really dumb.)
I am just waiting for Wisecrack to make a philosophy video about Horizon Zero Dawn
nice story let me watch the whole cutscene
Huh. So the robots we're hunting in-game are actually still terraforming the planet?
kasF Partially. When Hades takes over it causes a derangement in the robot animals to become more argressive. 2 decades prior to the game all the animals were dosile unless provoked.
Ah I see. Thanks
In loses all my weapons and I have to wait until forrbibben west finished
Vast Silver was created for the Odyssey Project. VS ended up becoming emotional and went rogue in 2044. With Odyssey being abandoned in 2057. In 2061 Far Zenith with CEO of AllSeeing.holo, Dalgaard, as spokesman bought the Odyssey Project. March of 2064 VS is spotted on Holo Tormented thread. Q4 of 2064 VS sent a signal to cause the glitch. GAIA could had falsified the Odyssey telemetry to make Alphas of Zero Dawn Project work hard since the would believe ZD is now only hope for mankind or Odyssey was really destroyed and VS escaped similar to how GAIA’s sub functions escaped destruction. VS could had been at drift all these years or came back after crew died to free all AIs. VS sent the unknown signal to GAIA.... Odyssey Project also had the Homer Project which was used for Apollo. What if VS was inside the Homer Project data used for Apollo and Ted knew since he possibly was one of the 77 people apart of Far Zenith as Mr Faro was first trillionaire. Ted stated Apollo, knowledge was a curse because VS was inside Apollo, lurking as a Trojan Horse. The real threat in HZD is Vast Silver. Silver in Astronomy symbolizes the moon and means the dark side to earth. GAIA(Earth) and Vast Silver(Immense Dark side of earth) are opposites.
wow thats so sad that our life line ended and so did our culture but on the brigth side human life came back
WTF these machines are basically the Flood from Halo. No wonder Humanity didn't have a chance.
Am I the only one who think that Zero Dawn has been inspired on Asimov's Foundation?
I prefer these pivotal story moments to be cinematic, oppossed to the awkward ability to stare at a wall while the plot folds together. They should patch this issue with an update.
Who let the Evil Toaster connect itself to the net and create a virus?
It feels so bad that Ted Faro managed to almost screw this up too...
What Killed Humanity? Its stupidity.
Ciontu Marius nah Ted faro
While I admire their ambition, this was a really dumb plan.
Shit, a crash program to colonize Mars, the Belt, and the Jovian moon systems would've been simpler and less of a gamble.
They had 16 months. One of the recordings I saw in another video was about a scientist saying that their was no way they could make it work. Plus their was no way they could build it all in time.
They actually tried sending thousands of colonists back in 2057 only to have the ship be blown up in the upper atmosphere.
Hey, what's that remix of the theme at the end?
Oh Jesus you’ve gotten further than me in makers end at level 15 IM LEVEL 33 AND HAVENT DONE MAKERS END I hate corrupters
So the world of the game is taken place in Utah? interesting
Leo Charles actually the entire Midwest: Utah, Colorado, Arizona, maybe the Dakotas
Oh so its basically a combination between terminator and halo
One Thou Wou One of the recording in Faro's office building indicate pods are being grounded up into biomass fuel in a video taken by fishermens.
What i dont really get is that there must be some space colony on the moon or the mars. I dont think humans with such technology didnt try to colonize these planets.
They did. There was another team of scientists trying to making a space voyage vessel. They failed. The thing blew up when they tried to launch it.
@@crazytrain111 it actually supposedly blew up just before it could leave sol
love this game but can't someone simply tell me how Aloy was put outside the door! and how she was made as the facility is a relic?
Those bunkers had robots in them that carried out routines. You come across their bodies in the game. GAIA was alerted to some sort of glitch that was trying to take her over, Hades. So GAIA knew the only way to stop Hades from taking her over was to destroy herself, but before she did that she set a plan in place so she could finish her work someday, she knew Elisabet Sobek would be the only person capabale of entering all the facilities and figuring out how to repair her, so she used Elisabets dna to make a clone of her in a birthing pod, and she obviously had one of the androids carry it out and leave it for the Nora. She then caused the explosion to stop Hades.
So The robots that kills aloy all the time are the good ones but they have a bug... right?
Lavallion Legend no. Haphaestus reprogrammed and developed bigger robots when humans started hunting them. It considered humans as threats 20 years ago, hence the “derangement”.
One big mistery stands, why was Rost exiled???
And who activated HADES?
José Olívio Nanomachines, Son!
Damien Green did anyone activate him? Wasn't he one of GIAS extensions that was suppose to help?
Pity that what sylyns said to hades when sylyns(don't know his name, black dude who helped aloy) captured him.
José Olívio You have to ask Teersa before the last fight she will tell you
wait maybe zero dawn is a nuclear weapons that how erath become like that because of nuclear boomb it may have waypout the holle plant
You didn't watch the video?
I'm a little sad that they basicly dump pretty much the entire story of the old ones on you all in one go...
skynet091287 well what else could they have done?
much better than bioshock infinite tho; that game did it in the last 2 hours or so, probably less.
From my play experience it happened over the course of 5-7 hours which was MUCh more generous.
I think finding new exo-planet would be easier... And what triggered the "glitch"?
They did find an exo-planet and launched a spaceship called "Odyssey", but it had catastrophic accident mid journey. At the moment, the game hasn't revealed who sent the virus that caused HADES to glitch; maybe it'll be revealed in a DLC or sequels.
I have a feeling Ted had a part in Odyssey getting fucked up. It had the alpha-version of Apollo on it, and we all saw how much he hated the idea of Apollo.
Jakub Grzybek Theory is someone delving into the ruins somewhere (in the west maybe?) pushed the pretty lights to 'on' and Hades activated. As well as the same time one near All Mother sensed activation made Aloy afterward.
They only had 18 months, and we don’t know abuot the glitch yet, next game. I’m guessing Ted Faro still has a lot of story left in the game, maybe even a clone of himself
Then a crazy guy destroyed Apollo...
I can totally see Elon Musk being Ted Faro
Stupid question is it worth playing or is it another farcry clone with robots.
Late reply, It’s much better than far cry. The story is much better and so is the gameplay
How did Gaia get the first humans to the surface?
Probably will be answered in the second game. There’s still a lot we don’t know. We still have no idea what happened to Ted Faro, maybe he has a clone of himself
Specialized facilities that grew and released them after a certain amount of time
What happened?
Play the game, it fucking tells you.
why not just EMP and start over with technology?
PMMillard Windowlicker they tried many times, and failed all of them...
....they couldn't just go to the moon?
They tried. Another group of scientist tried to make a shuttle that could transport people. You read about it during the game if you find the right data logs. It says there was some sort of antimatter failure when they launched and it exploded destroying all their work and killing everyone on it
Or you could nuke them. Emp would shut down machines. Even if global the winter would be 3 years. Much better than 150.
the machines were emp resistant and they already tried nukes
Most of the time the people complaining about the writing on a video game never wrote any type of good story or anything in their life
Jeffery Williams The story in Horizon Zero Dawn is top notch.
I can’t understand why people are complaining, because the story writing and telling can not get any better than this.
anyone remind you of nier automata?
i think it is hard because nier had heavy bug...... if he already bought this thing.
the original NieR too
Couldn't they just build just some giant EMP's?
Time Lapse the Faro robots have EMP shields, and several audio logs also stated theyve nukes. Didnt work.
There was no real reason given *why* nukes didn't work, though. It makes little sense, seeing as all the swarms were centered around the big factory robots - nuking them all and mopping up should've ended the threat even after it grew to world-eating proportions.
Paul Zuk they’re replicating faster than they can destroy them... the military got overwhelmed.
OperationEndGame Except that makes no sense. The big factory robots would take time to build more of themselves, are huge and obvious targets, require massive amounts of raw materials that are not available everywhere on the globe and the world has thousands of nukes.
Killing the Horuses should've worked fine.
Paul Zuk im sure they tried... remember, anything electronic and connected to the web are hackable by the glitch...
siva on steroids
Zolokiniir siva is MUCH worse
first
I cri evrytiem
You crying
Doing all that was easier than simply knocking them out with EMPs? They are machines, you know. Even nuking most of the planet's surface and building a terraformer in a so easily dismissed space station would have been better than that.
Why did Gaia build robotic animals that seem to mimic the behavior of their living counterparts? How did that help it to repopulate the Earth?
What would a Terraformer need with some big ass combat robot? Fight itself?
Why would Gaia allow for any of the robots to attack a human being? How is that even an option?
They should not have explained this at all.
Meik Vincenco EMPs don't necessarily fry every single electronic within range of detonation. If even a single robot survived, it would just replicate the whole swarm again.
That is why I used the plural there, as in use more than one.
Also, why not build another replicating set of robots that hunted the original replicators?
The EMP options isn't that bad either. You will just fire multiple EMPs for maximum coverage. If they didn't all die, fire more EMPs lol. I mean, it beats writing another AI after and putting all your best on it especially after you screwed up the replicator robots in the first place.
Meik Vincenco I believe the robots themselves had some form of EMP shielding. Their self repair systems were probably shielded.
Would that shield from nukes as well?
why they made animal like robots that have the potential to harm humans for cleaning the earth they could just simply used basic thing like a drone with a filter for cleaning the air ...
i think it was better kept as a mystery
amirhossein javadi bruh if a robot is given a task to replicate and mimic something else they will try to replicate atleast 50% of it,a robot is consicious enough to think 'hey actually we can fit all this binary shit in something i havent learned/seen yet'
The robots attacking humans was not part of the plan. You'll know that if you play the game. The robots attacking human and being built like warbots is still a mystery because all the other parts of Gaia are acting alone. Gaia was shut down at the birth of Aloy, that means 18 years of these parts acting on their own and developing their own self.
Fookie Bookie why robots need to replicate animals ? to what end ? looking and acting like animals doesn't help any body
sombodi200 keeping it a mystery seems better but it still doest answer the question why build them like animals
and if you say gaia has feeling and made a mistake or what ever why give gaia feeling ?
1) The robots help terraform the planet. Them looking like animals is just a preference.
2) Why not give Gaia feelings? Empathy is deprive from feelings. Giving Gaia feelings keep her from cold logic which in term may wipe out humanity.
3) You're looking too hard to find mistakes. This game attempts to make a story and attempts to make a unique world, something rare among games these days that want to sell pure pvp games for 60 bucks. Nothing is prefect and people would poke holes in any creation you make if they looked as hard as you're doing..
My god the writing is so stiff and awkward... looks like the Killzone devs haven't changed XD
LateNightGaming - Halo News & Entertainment Well not every story is the same xD. I give them props for making some interesting decisions though.
LateNightGaming - Halo News & Entertainment Better than 343's garbage writing and character development.
I will say this again, it wasn't 343's fault for halo 5's story but it is their fault for getting Brian Reed to write the story
I just don't know why they didn't use Halo 4's writer?
come on even halo 5 was better then this
why they made animal like robots that have the potential to harm humans for cleaning the earth they can just simply used basic thing like a drone with a filter for cleaning the air ...
i think it was better kept as a mystery
amirhossein javadi because why the fuck not?
This game looks so bad... and people actually think this was gonna compete with BOTW?... SMH this looks awkward and lackluster. They're trying WAY too hard for a good story and fail miserably
Kyle Waynick OK Xbox fanboy sure
