Having played the base game on PS4 (PS5 were unobtanium at the time), there is no chance that Burning Shores will be available as "stand alone", right ? Beyond buying the game again, I don't feel like going through the main story a second time...

Is the PS4 save not transfarrable to the PS5 version?

It's up for pre-load. Didn't auto-DL for me but I clicked the dlc icon and it was available.

I feel like sliding is a way better evasive option than dodge-rolling in HFW, and it feels so good. There are times where it feels like it's actively shrinking my hitbox vs the iframe game of the dodge-roll.

You need to complete the cauldron to spawn apex bileguts in the wild.

That Bilegut cauldron fight almost got me tilted. What a horrible arena to be stuck in, I kept tripping on the environment or running into uneven patches that would block my slides, and then ads would spawn behind me

Not directly tied to story progression, but you can't go to it until you advance the story to a certain point ("clearing the theme park" should be vague enough?) because it's within said area's automated defense zone.

Hmm, maybe my game bugged it. Aloy mentioned that there was another defense tower, but I just walked right into the cave lol

Give Aloy more movement options.

You say this as I'm chaining slides, grappling, gliding, vaults, etc...

Seems like raising the skill floor/ceiling lost a number of people with the jump from the more basic Zero Dawn to Forbidden West. I like it so much better though. But hey, I feel like GG is one of those devs that is really open to listening to their audience and is constantly working to improve their poo poo. Maybe they'll find a balance that satisfies likers of both games.

It's nice having a mount to get vertical, but I've also been enjoying finding secrets by walking everywhere and just slowing down and enjoying the view.

I've been playing Zero Dawn again just to make sure I don't have rose-tinted memories of it and, ho boy are the machines like 100x less aggressive than the ones in Forbidden West at the same point in the game. Watchers, Sawtooths and Grinders have a fraction of the aggression and space coverage with their attacks compared to the Burrowers. They actually stop between attacks to give you time to respond and your normal dodge clears their attack range, so you don't awkwardly get caught in the animation with the i-frames or get hit by some sort of after shock that staggers you.

I do miss a lot of the QoL stuff in Forbidden West, though. Almost jumped to my death a couple of times because I forgot I don't have a glider. The focus not having a ping was something I forgot too, so I'm going into it instead of pinging my surrounding occasionally like I did in Forbidden West. It is impressive how much the tech evolved, though. The facial animations are a massively step down, though the environments are still gorgeous to look at. 4 weapons on the wheel, so you have to pick and choose more often but the menus are snappier and it doesn't have that hold to equip poo poo. Inventory has a cap for all the machine parts. Though they're not nearly as important as in Forbidden West. My NG+ save has 40k shards where I barely am able to hold on to 2-3k in Forbidden West, so I think they may have over-compensated in their economy just a little bit.

Crafting ammo is quicker too, the hold to craft button doesn't slow down nearly as much (again, a fraction of the slowdown) that's in Forbidden West so you craft everything you need ultra fast instead of holding the craft button for an eternity between the massively aggressive attacks because the slowdown of the weapon wheel slows down the crafting button too.

I actually forgot how Ashley Birch voiced Aloy early on. She's not as world-wear and exasperated in the delivery like she is in Forbidden West. She hasn't quite seen enough of the world to be done with everything's crap quite yet - just the Nora's.

I'll probably post some more stuff that I find different. Still, the game holds up. It's nice using a ropecaster that isn't poop from a butt.

Please do, I was kind of mid on the first game's gameplay, but I'm interested in hearing about fresh takes on it.
