Just finished. Didn't know GG had it in them but wow, great story overall. It actually...makes sense. Discovering Zero Dawn and the project itself was fantastic. But like you guys, I'm curious who sent the signal that triggered HADES.
Sylens is a great character, his relationship with Aloy was so well made. Nil was pretty great as well, great side quest. I want more of those quests, more involvement from other characters, I want to know if there were more tribes, more machines(they can came up with anything they want basically).
To think this was their first try at a RPG...I cannot wait for the sequel. Combat was probably the best I've ever played in a open world(not counting Souls). I don't need to say anything about graphics.
GG, GG.
Edit: I've read some discussions here towards Ted Faro motivations...but his actions actually make sense in a dark way, if you wanna say so. And he was so full of himself that I doubt he wanted to be remembered by mankind as almost their terminator. And to have knowledge without means...would be very infuriating. And knowledge by itself can be very dangerous, Sylens for instance is up to no good.
I think the game played very well that double edged sword of knowing/not knowing.
