Probably the best looking open world console game out there. GT Sport edges it out but this game is gorgeous.

Great OT!

Thx, but its not really a OT, the one who should have dont it could not because of work. So i did this in like 5min fast. Its better than nothing.

I'm really in love with the expansion even more than the base game. it was just to easy on Ultra Hard, but now with the expansion its a real challange

Yea, i never had these moments of WOW, ever on a console game but with horizon and now with frozen lands i get that feeling every time. I even started
making screenshots.

Like how mist crawls over mountains ....
 
I love this game and I had to pause on ACO to play this DLC.

It's a great game.

Two things a bit frustrating:
- you cannot climb anywhere you like, especially some areas are realistically climbable but the game is not designed like that. You notice this even more if you play HZD after Zelda BotW and ACO but that's ok, the game is really good otherwise. I especially like the bow gameplay which I find very accurate unlike ACO which feels (not necessarily is but feels) sometimes approximative when aiming.
- the camera is really close to Aloy which took me time to get used to it. It can make you a bit sick inside buildings if you move the camera too fast. I noticed this again when coming back to HZD from a long session on ACO. I wish there was an option to have the camera slightly further.

I known what you mean, all the climbing now starts feeling like as simple as walking with no risks. You see the markers and press up and jump and thats it. With zelda your always checking if your having enough stamina and not making a wrong choice

Oh shoot I have to order this!

Do it its the best fucking expansion i have played in a long while.

Yes, but I also mean you do not exactly have the same freedom as in the two games cited. But they might improve the formula in HZD2. Atm, Aloy can only jump and cannot use her hands to climb certain areas which was a bit frustrating initially.

Does anyone know how to kill
that fire breathing cat thing in a easy way, that beast is harder than a thunderjaw

I adored HZD when I played it this year and I'm sure it'll end up really high on my GOTY list, but I'll wait for the Complete Edition to drop until I grab it again. Glad it turned out great though.

It's already listed for pre order. There is a pretty good deal already but not sure I'm allowed to say which retailer on this forum ?

Yeah, after climb-anywhere BotW, the industry will never be the same when it comes to exploration.

Yes, when climbing a slope, Aloy doesn't even bend or use her hands to help climbing.
You can jump "straight" and access higher areas like that but it feels a bit weird.
Again, it doesn't hurt the game so much but something I noticed first time I launched the game and it could be perfected to help on the immersion feeling.

Hey guys i noticed with latest patch very aggressive ground texture LOD pop in. Before it was not like this. Playing on ps4 pro. Anyone else notice this? Its mainly noticeable in main game not dlc since most paths are covered with snow.

I just played the game for the first time since I finished it and noticed it too. I was doing a side quest on the main game and it caught my attention, since I don't remember this being like that when I first played the game.

She does change body positions depending on stairs gradient etc

Once you finish the game you're brought back to the spot before the last quest...that might be why (not sure).


I finish the main story with the DLC, opened up a lot more questions and that last boss battle was crazy.
 
does anyone know how much content there is with this dlc? i usually dont buy DLC for any game, but was thinking about picking this up.

Is this reall all there is in terms of an official thread? Game is released 4 days now and this place is just depressing...

I'm enjoying this DLC a lot but I am slightly disappointed in the lack of side quests. It's still well worth the investment though.

Have you guys reported this to the devs? Similar issues happened to Assassins Creed Origins with the last patch.

this place is dead. Not even a page of discussion on this.

Yeah, calling it dead is a massive understatement by now.

Well thats what you get when you run your business like GAF did for the past year or so. All the self righteous bullshit will eventually bite your head off.

It's sad, i wonder if it was a staged attack by EA and other large developers to destroy our consumer voice that used to be so loud here. (woo conspiracy!)

Just finished Frozen, loved the addition. New weapons were an unexpected fun bonus, being able to mod your spear was another awesome addition. New creatures, especially a few are way challenging and fun.

I really think Horizon was the most impressive game this gen. I can't wait for a 2nd.
