I’ll have to wait a couple of weeks because of “budgeting” (such as it is with what little free money I do have). But there was no way I was passing this up when it was announced.

can you transfer a PS4 save to PS5? if i do get one my plan was to NG+ and then the DLC but idk if you can. originally i had wanted to wait for a PC port but between wanting full DS5 support (maybe the haptic poo poo works on PC? dunno) and port likely being delayed because of the weird business nonsense around exclusives and acquisitions between sony and MS atm i may wanna just get a PS5 that or bum off my friend who already has one

You can put your save file on a USB and plug it into your PS5, or upload it to online storage if you have PS+.

The hfw preorder items were earlygame so it didnt matter much in the end for gameplay since they were quickly eclipsed by later game gear. But as this dlc is endgame presumably the preorder items will be geared towards it too and might be top contenders for some roles, which in that case might seem a little unfair.

I'm assuming the preorder items will only be available from a merchant in the new quest area, which seems to only be available after beating the game. Though it would be fun just to crush things early on in the game, lol.

The new weapons and outfits in The Frozen Wilds were straight upgrades over their main game counterparts, but the NG+ gear in Forbidden West were mostly sidegrades or more specialized for one kind of thing. So I'm not sure which direction Burning Shores will take.

While I don’t like the prospect of even more underwater content, maybe this will make tackling the content in the existing underwater areas easier to handle.

Still not decided if I'll bother with the DLC, basically the feedback and reviews are gonna have to be stellar. I adored ZD but found FW's lustre quickly wore off, and I soured on it a lot since finishing it (the tedious gear upgrades, crap Big Bad setup, and the way my guy Varl was done so dirty). Plus the crushing news about Lance largely ended any lingering interest I had going forward - Sylens deciding to stay and work with Aloy instead of selfishly peacing out was like the one thing I really liked about the ending and it just isn't gonna be the same now. It's probably not as bad as I'm grumbling, I just wish it landed for me as well as the original had.

The amount of levels gears had for up grades was insane. Should have had three, one for each slot.

No i agree, the story and writing is somewhat of a letdown, although i still havent grown tired of the gameplay, that part really clicked for me, traversing the west battling machines. So well worth the DLC i think just for the new environments, machines and capabilities. If it were only the DLC i had to pay for, im unfortunately on ps4 so it will have to wait.

So I've started replaying NG+ in preparation for burning shores, but suddenly everything seems... kinda broken? Textures for machines are failing to load completely and the waves seem to be really choppy. The water graphics are fine otherwise, it's just the wave crests near the shore that don't move very smoothly. Is my PS5 hosed or is there something else at play here?

Have you tried force closing the game from the home screen and re-launching it? There are some memory leak issues they never ironed out and I had some weird problems like that when I played for too long

New look at the main DLC settlement, Fleet's End. https://twitter.com/Guerrilla/status/1643961982951866373 There's also a blog post up about the Quen you'll find in the Burning Shores, along with some info on the woman riding the Sunwing with Aloy in the promo art: quote:The key art for Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores shows Aloy accompanied by a new companion, recognizable by her Quen attire – Seyka. “We’re excited to introduce Seyka! She’s an ambitious marine who has stepped up to help her people survive. As a new companion for the DLC, Aloy will spend a lot of time with her throughout the story and rely on her help in many situations – a position she doesn’t often find herself in.” Sorry Talanah fans.

I finished this game from PS Collection in time to get Burning Shores, yay. I was always going to play HFW, I just wanted to get the best experience by waiting until I could painlessly get a PS5. Enjoyed the game but I echo pretty much everyone's common complaints, the amount of upgrading and pointless crafting is too much. I didn't even bother with the arena or the final Hunting Grounds (played the game on hard) because of the pain it was. Wanted to vary my loadout more but for like 90% of the game my loadout was some variation of the best possible Hunter bow with Impact I could find, something to apply fire and acid (a warrior or hunter bow, again), either a shredder or precision bow that got rarely used, and of course the coolest of all, the Vindicator Spike Thrower because both Explosive Spikes and Drill Spikes are super cool. Spectres die super easy if they're frosted up and then you just chuck a few drill spikes into them, it's like they heatseek their weak points or something. edit: I wonder what the least-completed 'proper' quest or errand is in the game. In HZD it was the Banuk oil-drinker guy because you had to get pretty close to see his quest pop up. In HFW I was surprised to see Cliffwatch as a town because I don't think you ever really get led there, and there's a small quest there, A Hunt to Remember... and that's about it. Wouldn't be surprised if most people don't see it. (it's also not a particularly memorable hunt) bewilderment fucked around with this message at 04:08 on Apr 12, 2023 |

I didn't even bother with the arena or the final Hunting Grounds (played the game on hard) because of the pain it was. Those were my big complaints too. All I've got left for the platinum are the stupid loving arena challenges, the human fighting poo poo, and the goddamned board game that I don't want to spend ten minutes to learn. It's pissing me off. I slaughter the final boss in like a minute and I can't get the platinum in part because of post-post-apocalypse checkers. The other issue as well, they added a bazillion new mechanics and I not only used few of them, I ended up using far fewer overall weapons than I did in the first game. The mini-bows were worthless to me, I hated the shredders and spent maybe 20 minutes trying to get the hang of them before throwing in the towel... In the end, it was a couple of bows and slings and spikes at the very end of the game and that's all I needed. I didn't even use the new food boosts. Didn't see the need. I did use the super duper Hulk-out moves of course, but new weapons-wise? Nope.

Strike trophy is super easy, just buy a Fireclaw piece from the arena or a Stormbird + Ravager combo and annihilate the beginner boards at Chainscrape and Barren Light. Warrior Bows are incredibly good when specced for properly, and were my mainstay weapon during my NG+ run. Wear a melee-oriented outfit (i.e. Oseram Artificer), load them with melee follow-up coils, pop the Critical Boost valor surge and just unload with Spreadshot at point blank range right after giving enemies a little love-tap with R1. You'll easily mulch down machines for ~3k a hit with everything going. Big sustained damage and extremely cost-efficient. Same for Shredders once you get the hang of them, especially the ones with shock ammo since they triple-dip from damage, tear and elemental modifiers.

Oh yeah I played enough Machine Strike to clear all the Beginners for the trophy and then when the harder ones popped up I rightly quit. Whoever said "this is way too complex for a tribal board game" way up thread is right. It was like playing Ff tactics or Fire Emblem but way less intuitive and with a way worse 'diegetic' HUD.

I think Machine Strike could have been cool if it had multiplayer but I'm not really interested in playing Not Gwent™ against NPCs

and it gets boring fast once you "get it" and have good pieces, winning strategy plays out the same way. Basically feinting and delaying until the opponent overcommits and then you pounce, which gets to be even more trivial if you only use 1 strong piece like the fireclaw and abuse that single pieces can move twice per turn.

I did pretty much this, but with the slaughterspine piece. Mostly trivial, the worst bits are the tutorials where you have to use lovely pieces. I forgot how absurd the detection radius is in ultra hard, if I'm not in grass it's basically the same range that I can begin to scan and mark stuff.
