RIP Lance Reddick.......you will forever be immortalized in this fantastic series. Hands down one of my favorite characters. He played that part perfectly.
As someone who lives in LA, I have to appreciate the care taken to capture the city. They got everything right, right down to the streets filled with lava. Just A1 work all around.
Its so unfortunate Lance Reddick past away. He was such an important character in the Horizon story, they probably recast but its not gonna be the same without his voice playing Sylens
Actually the game looks better than ever since they focused mainly on the PS5. The graphics looks so damn good. I’m still playing the main campaign and I can see the difference in graphics and performance.
Great DLC, a lot of things about it I’m enjoying. One of the big wins was the ability to import my PS4 game complete save file to my PS5. I beat Forbidden West on PS4 when I was trying to secure a PS5. This helped me out so much as I don’t really have time to go back and beat Forbidden West again on PS5. The only issue with this is I had to relearn how to play the game, and how to fight the machines again. One of the Burning Shores quests had me facing two leaplashers, two ravagers and a stalker, and I was burning through health berries like no tomorrow just to survive the fight. I definitely recommend travelling Forbidden west and take on some Apex Machines to find your groove again before hitting Burning Shores.
Omg thank you I didn't know the save file could be transferred. I'm stuck on ps4 for now but I was worried about having to beat it for a 3rd time this is a relief 😅
thanks for your comment!! I was looking for this!! I still have a ps4 but wanna buy a ps5, so I was scared I had to beat the game all over again! Thank you soo much!!
I really think Horizon deserves more love, it is a amazing game, a very well done open world, great narrative, the best enemies design I've ever seen and how the gameplay is guided by those designs is a masterpiece. The game as a whole is not an 10/10 it lacks something (maybe an good ending, or more replayability ), but still deserves much more love. It is a better job than a lot of "AAA" games that are crap/more of the same. Can wait to play the DLC, but definably I don't remember how to play that game... is it a reasonable challenging game, with a lot of elemental, weapons, enemies and I remember to struggle to select which one to use, or to even have a set of equipment that give me everything that I could need in combat.
It's unfortunate they decided to release right before Elden Ring. Probably not the best choice because it invited a lot of unfair comparisons and scrutiny
@@executioner_ecgbert884yeah it definitely got bodied by elden ring lol, but ive been playing it and its a blast, elden ring was amazing too but horizon is a breath of fresh air after the lack of hand holding in elden ring
The developers kept releasing their games at the wrong time. With zero dawn they released when Zelda came out. And with this one they released it along side elden ring.
As compared to actual gameplay. This was straight out of a GoW 2 or 3.... and then it turned into a simplistic (if annoying) pattern-play (hit, shoot-shoot-shout-jump-shoot cycle rinsed and repeated)
Such a bs marketing decision by Sony. Why cut off the majority of their customers? The game looks the same, just a couple of new interactions. Tbh this DLC should’ve been part of the base game anyway.
@@JJ-ze6vb nah man I just played it and it does look and behave better, the final boss is epic asf and absolutely needs ps5 to run. I’m afraid it’s just not made for a ps4 system, it’s too intense
just expect a channel of this size, they put anything out just to have content. watch other smaller players who enjoy the game to get a proper review where passion for the game is at it's core, not views
I think it was a slip of the tongue lol Him getting the DLC name wrong also felt less egregious than Falcon pronouncing at least 1 main character or area of a game wrong in every other video lmao
The Frozen Wilds felt like an amazing improvement over the base game at the time with lots to be excited about. This sounds like it won’t quite reach that height for me but I’m still excited to play it in the near future.
It’s the same as frozen wilds new machines new location new characters new weapons new story few hours of extra gameplay I really feel like people are just hating when burning shores actually has more then frozen wilds I feel like ur expectations was just too high for no apparent reason and we got a good boss fight at the end too
@@kirstenwyatt9675 I highly doubt it'll get released to other systems as PC support is still a long way off and this dlc just wouldnt work on old gen consoles
I have been waiting all year for this. Love the base game. Left 8 side quests open to play when this came out to get back in the rhythm of it again before I play DLC
Can't wait to play. Forbidden west was my favorite game of that year. Just like zero dawn was my favorite of '17. Excited to see what the future holds.
Straight up y’all, mostly agree with gameranx. Keep putting our great content guys because I’m here for it. All around definitely would recommend. The content is refreshing and fun. I didn’t even expect one new machine and the fact that we got at least three that we can see in the open world and I’m not even finished the main quests yet fantastic. Love the exploration and seeing guildon again fantastic. I love stories that connect back to past events from the story. Adds great detail to the story and the continuation of it
Yay, I just finished downloading and pumped to play DLC. I'm glad I just finished it again on NG+ Also Jake are you guys ever going to do the glitch comp videos again?? Those were so hilarious and awesome 👌 😊
Funny af they didn't even answer you😂 Just go to random comments and give a 👍🤝 😅😅😅😅😅 Yet you peasants still keep asking questions knowing you ain't getting replied to, you're kinda like an abused gf that gets treated bad and called names 😂
It really did feel like this DLC came out of nowhere. I had forgotten that the DLC was even coming out until a few days ago when my friend reminded me to pre-order it 😂 I'm going to really try to sink my teeth into it tonight
I love watching your reviews, Jake, but I gotta say I'm glad Eric wrote this because if I recall correctly, this franchise never quite landed with you. Since this is a post-game DLC, most of us who might buy it are big fans, so it's useful to hear from someone who seems to really get why a lot of people are in love with this series.
I loved the DLC. I agree that it felt lackluster in the machines and armor/ weapons department. That being said, I’m absolutely in love with the specter gauntlet and the new specter face paints. Hopefully they’ll eventually add some Far Zenith style armor. 😅
So what you're saying is the game sucked, but you liked the face-paint? What do you mean Specter gauntlet.... I'm confused? The spectre's in the DLC become either easy or meaningless (same as the Corruptors). If you finished the main game buffed (if you did most side-content) this DLC is kinda weirdly pointless. Like a 10-15 hour cut-scene. Sure great graphics, but the balancing and story just doesn't make sense. Some of the hardest moments for me came half-way through the game... the end was either easy or just cheap (un-real) deaths for the sake of difficulty.
@@AdelaideBen1 The Specter Gauntlet is a legendary weapon you can find in game. That is all I will say about that. With Horizon: Zero dawn’s “The Frozen Wilds” DLC they added plenty of new machines and weapons. The Burning Shores has new machines and weapons, but in much lower quantity. The main gameplay didn’t change at all, and I’m perfectly happy with that, as Horizon: Forbidden West’s main gameplay loop has always been fun to me. Aside from all that, the DLC isn’t pointless. The weapons and armor that you CAN get can be rather powerful if used correctly, but I already had weapons that I liked going into it, so I didn’t feel the need to upgrade. That makes the weapons department feel a little less important. And finally, the dlc is important to the story moving forward. Very important. It highlights Nemesis, and opens the path that Aloy will take to fight against it. I.E the major companies who were developing weaponry in the past. All in all, no it didn’t suck.
@@danemyers2520 you mis-understood… it wasn’t meant to be a serious comment. For me, I thought their were some good lore parts, the enemies were either unimportant or annoying (the bilegut was designed to be irritating more so than challenging), and I like you didnt need the new weapons. I thought some of the story elements shouldn’t be in DLC - it’s the Marvellization of gaming IMO… especially when it comes to relationships. I enjoyed the feel of the DLC but just felt it was very light compared to Frozen Wilds. I’d give it a 7/10. It had some great environments that were mostly pointless - and hardly any new exploration (which I what I liked the most). I was also a bit underwhelmed by the big-boss fight at the end.
@@danemyers2520 also - my entire internal SSD just barfed, so have to reinstall all my games because of the DLC failed. After I do, I’ll look at the gauntlet. That and finish playing the very last 5 mins of the game (that I missed out on because it failed)
@@AdelaideBen1 Sorry, I thought it was meant to be serious haha, but I 100% agree with you. It could’ve been a bit better. 7/10 like you said, though I’m biased as I focus mainly on the lore so… 8.5/10 from me.
But what about the waterwing that allows you to dive underwater? That’s such a nice new interaction with the map! Weird not to talk about it and say there is only one machine??
this guy refers to frozen wilds as frozen waste. so it's clear that he didn't play the game and don't care about the series which is ok not everyone must like horizon but if you're gonna make videos that may influence people's decisions to buy the game or not at least make an effort and play the damn thing
@Project FireFly i was talking about the guy who wrote the video not jake. and even that doesn't excuse the fact that he didn't rectify that error which shows that he doesn't care or even like the franchise .
For one half-arsed mission? And you didn't need to even find a cauldron... just apparently story.... TBH, the Water-wing and Sun-wing are 95% interchangeable.
I understand that feeling. After playing horizon forbidden west with the quality of life changes and improvement to the combat, that would be a little hard for me 😂
@@kaihill8464 true, I remember Frozen Wilds hunting trials being the most difficult ones by far, and not only they were mechanically challenging, it took a ton of resources just to have enough ammo. Turns out buying 6000 fuel for explosive ammo was the true endgame after all 😂
Coming back to a game after a year or two for some expansion is always a pain. Trying to remember how to even play the game in high level areas is rough. Normally I end up starting over but I'm not sure I want to do that yet with HFW..
Started this DLC yesterday and really eager to see the story. Machine hunting/fighting is the same as it was (I like HZD better in this regards due to simplicity and balance) and as entertaining as ever. The world is big and beautiful. I have reasonable doubts if Burning Shores will exceed Blood and Wine as THE best DLC for me, but I'll give it a chance for sure.
Just started it and z couple of hours in! Hearing Lance Reddick in what is probably one of his final game appearances raised a tear or three! Going slowly tbh and savouring it because god knows when we actually face Nemesis! Annoyances include getting trapped in wreckage after destroying a big ish enemy and having to fast travel to get out! Pluses include the skiff and flying over LA and paragliding around tower records 😅 yeah I'm a music geek too
One of the downsides of having a geometry heavy landscape is that there's plenty of scope to get caught/locked into a space that is a bit pointless, but just because they can't explore every space you jump or evade into. My concern is that other than perhaps 2-3 times, I never felt that I needed to use the environment that much. Hence it was pretty set-dressing, for a 2 person show.
I just started a NG+ playthrough a few weeks ago to get reacquainted with the gameplay and story. Plus I wanna go into the dlc as overpowered as I can.
I literally just beat it before clicking this video. It is soooo fun and soooo gorgeous. I love this game and while this DLC was short, it was fantastic.
This game, Horizon Forbidden West is the sequel of the game Horizon Zero Dawn which also has a DLC called the frozen wilds. This video is for the DLC of the sequel called burning shores. I recommend getting the first game too.
Frosty wastes was a great expansion Though I've never played that, nor the base game, I can tell you hot beaches dlc is even better. I haven't played this one either -gameranx
You were spot on with the small but tough relearning of the controls. You are thrown into the action right away. But I noticed that in a few hours all the muscle memory was back and i was whacking those machines left and right including the only new one who is pretty annoying with his little pesky helpers. Stinking mosquitoes.
Fingers crossed that we get more than one expansion this time. there are still so many cool areas on the west coast that would look great in the Horizon world
Can I point out too that although there are no significantly good outfits, stat wise, they can be used as 'looks' which you can apply since some do look great.
Thank you for this video! I recently - finally - got a PS5, and intended to play Forbidden West again but it wasn't a priority. Now I'm excited to play through again just so I can play the DLC.
Love it. Like always with any new release, i'll wait 60 days before buying the DLC so they can send out whatever patches/updates/improvements before i buy and play.
still haven't figured out how to actually access the DLC yet... finished Singularity about a year ago, been doing side missions and such since then, and no Sylens has popped up nor the welcome window to open the Burning Shores DLC. (the DLC is mentioned on the title screen now tho') What to do?
@@matthijsweststrate5552 yeah that's what I had to do... basically had to download it twice. Once to the console off the eshop, and then 2nd to the game itself...odd, but ok I'm good now
I already brought it so far I'm loving it. I beat the first mission and did a side quest. So far I like the new characters, new location, and new machines.
It definitely does. I like the game well enough. But I really wish Aloy would SHUT UP a lot of the time. And there is a lot of hand holding that can get annoying.
@@mattmaas5790 I don’t even own this game, and couldn’t get through the first. I need a game with a good story. These game’s definitely don’t deliver that.
This game looks beautiful plays well they had a lot planned for it glad we getting the dlc’s and VR modes it was super unappreciated playing it for a second time might consider getting this when I finish .
I'm having such a blast with this new DLC. I can get lost for hours in this beautiful new map. You already know the 3rd Horizon is gonna be mind-blowing. I'm not a big fan of the outfits. But thank God for the transmog system. Hopefully, they add transmog in for weapons as well. Welp, Later reality, back to the Burning Shores I go. ✌️
I was hoping to play Burning Shores last night. But I was fighting the last final secret boss in Octopath Traveler 2 and finishing up the game. I’m so excited to jump back to Horizon.
I'm so excited to play this DLC, and I can't wait for Horizon 3 (that rhymed)! I literally haven't even played the game since the first couple of weeks of its release, when I finished the story. Also, Jake, it's 'The Frozen Wilds' from Zero Dawn, not 'The Frozen Waste.'
excellent presentation. just bought a PS5 yesterday after finishing Forbidden West on ps4. so gotta do it all again to get to this add on. Was figuring to get the PS5 eventually, but this gave me incentive to speed it up..since PS4 games are playable it made sense.
I'm playing the base game on very hard after 1.21 update and enemy aggro and health have been dumbed down, nerfed. Many times enemy just stand there and let me have at it or when they attack the attack goes wide. Also there are more resources, berries, wood and such. Also more glitching. Any word on this?
I don't mean to be a downer but compared to the first game, i really couldn't get into Forbidden West, something about it didn't hook me, i might go back and try it out now that the DLC is out)
I'd say your tastes probably changed and improved. They're both awfully boring and uninspired games. The enemies feel like alpha stand in code for more interesting enemies that was just left as it is.
It's the exact same for me. I just barely finished the first one and it was definitely not one of my favourites. I have way too many games to still play lying around here. Currently I'm doing 2 at once switching between them always ^__^. Kind regards!
One pet peeve that has always stuck out is when your running and you want to do a slide in many cases Aloy will slow down just a tiny bit just before you press the slide button will make her do a freaking crawl instead! Wish to hell they'd fix this in some way. Aiming for very specific parts on enemies with very specific elements while the robotic enemies can just hit you anywhere and not get caught in any combo can send you flying and rolling on the ground each time still doing pretty damn good damage, plus getting "Gang Banged" by multiple enemies that all work amazingly well as a team regardless of species is just the best! What redhead character in a video game doesn't love a good, "Gang Bang?"
Some feedback to Gurilla It's very disappointing to see that there are not a lot of op weapons I need to grind for in burning shores. I remember in the frozen wilds dlc where I had multiple playthroughs so I could fully fill my weapon enchantment slots so that I could have a fully maxed out kit. Even the Armour was very good, although I dint have to work hard for it, I got it after completing a main quest I belive. It felt nice that even though it was pretty hard to finish the side and main missions they were worth it, offering me op items. Gurilla if ure seeing this, I know the probability is less but if add an update please add some more weapons and Armour or even weapon coils like in the first game where if we grinded the game for example have multiple playthroughs of the dlc it would be very rewarding. Just like the frozen wilds dlc.
Go for the legendary critical hit coil (+15% damage and chance). There is also a bug after defeating the first tower where you can loot two of those coils. I have stacked them on my sharpshot bow with 2 of those elite coils and 3 (+15% crit chance coils) and its extremely OP on ultra hard. Have fun man
Just got the PS5 and I started a whole new game. Got the DLC and cant wait to finish it again so I can get to the L.A. I really love the Horizon story and love this game...especially since I first played it on the PS4.

It highlights Nemesis, and opens the path that Aloy will take to fight against it. I.E the major companies who were developing weaponry in the past. All in all, no it didn’t suck.
@@danemyers2520 you mis-understood… it wasn’t meant to be a serious comment. For me, I thought their were some good lore parts, the enemies were either unimportant or annoying (the bilegut was designed to be irritating more so than challenging), and I like you didnt need the new weapons. I thought some of the story elements shouldn’t be in DLC - it’s the Marvellization of gaming IMO… especially when it comes to relationships. I enjoyed the feel of the DLC but just felt it was very light compared to Frozen Wilds. I’d give it a 7/10. It had some great environments that were mostly pointless - and hardly any new exploration (which I what I liked the most). I was also a bit underwhelmed by the big-boss fight at the end.
@@danemyers2520 also - my entire internal SSD just barfed, so have to reinstall all my games because of the DLC failed. After I do, I’ll look at the gauntlet. That and finish playing the very last 5 mins of the game (that I missed out on because it failed)
@@AdelaideBen1 Sorry, I thought it was meant to be serious haha, but I 100% agree with you. It could’ve been a bit better. 7/10 like you said, though I’m biased as I focus mainly on the lore so… 8.5/10 from me.
Thanks for another amazing video I always watch these before making any purchases just this video got me excited to jump back in
But what about the waterwing that allows you to dive underwater? That’s such a nice new interaction with the map! Weird not to talk about it and say there is only one machine??
this guy refers to frozen wilds as frozen waste. so it's clear that he didn't play the game and don't care about the series which is ok not everyone must like horizon but if you're gonna make videos that may influence people's decisions to buy the game or not at least make an effort and play the damn thing
@@waelberraies7027 "The guy" very clearly said at the beginning that he did not write this video.
@Project FireFly i was talking about the guy who wrote the video not jake. and even that doesn't excuse the fact that he didn't rectify that error which shows that he doesn't care or even like the franchise .
For one half-arsed mission? And you didn't need to even find a cauldron... just apparently story.... TBH, the Water-wing and Sun-wing are 95% interchangeable.
Rest in peace, Lance Reddick.
Man's said Frozen Waste DLC.
It was the Frozen Wilds
Ye
I really like those short sequences in the video where we can hear the actual sounds of the game. Please make that a regular feature in your videos ?
I didn't know this was coming out, and here I am going to buy it in a minute. Very cool. I bought it earlier. Its installed now
👍🏼
Seeing this makes me wanna go back and 100% frozen wilds
Nice
I understand that feeling. After playing horizon forbidden west with the quality of life changes and improvement to the combat, that would be a little hard for me 😂
@@kaihill8464 true, I remember Frozen Wilds hunting trials being the most difficult ones by far, and not only they were mechanically challenging, it took a ton of resources just to have enough ammo.
Turns out buying 6000 fuel for explosive ammo was the true endgame after all 😂
0:21 “Frozen Waste” he said 😂
Cringe, man. He said it twice!
@@MikeCincoCapas yeah, love it
I just downloaded it and I’m super excited to dive in!
Thanks for the video
So glad you’re now doing DLC! Love you guys!
🤝
Coming back to a game after a year or two for some expansion is always a pain. Trying to remember how to even play the game in high level areas is rough. Normally I end up starting over but I'm not sure I want to do that yet with HFW..
Started this DLC yesterday and really eager to see the story. Machine hunting/fighting is the same as it was (I like HZD better in this regards due to simplicity and balance) and as entertaining as ever. The world is big and beautiful. I have reasonable doubts if Burning Shores will exceed Blood and Wine as THE best DLC for me, but I'll give it a chance for sure.
I'm not sure that anything will ever top BaW
No, Burning Shores is not even as good as Frozen Wilds and far away from Blood and Wine
Just started it and z couple of hours in!
Hearing Lance Reddick in what is probably one of his final game appearances raised a tear or three!
Going slowly tbh and savouring it because god knows when we actually face Nemesis!
Annoyances include getting trapped in wreckage after destroying a big ish enemy and having to fast travel to get out!
Pluses include the skiff and flying over LA and paragliding around tower records 😅 yeah I'm a music geek too
One of the downsides of having a geometry heavy landscape is that there's plenty of scope to get caught/locked into a space that is a bit pointless, but just because they can't explore every space you jump or evade into. My concern is that other than perhaps 2-3 times, I never felt that I needed to use the environment that much. Hence it was pretty set-dressing, for a 2 person show.
Thanks for the Vid! I was on the fence about getting it and this video helped alot! Also the Zero Dawn DLC was called Frozen Wilds, not Waste lol
🤝
I just started a NG+ playthrough a few weeks ago to get reacquainted with the gameplay and story. Plus I wanna go into the dlc as overpowered as I can.
👌👍🏼
Figured it would get a DLC but it’s been so long since I’ve played the base game… Can’t wait to get back into it!
It has been „sooo long“? My man, the base game came out only a year ago.
@@JJ-ze6vb you know how much other stuff has come out!? Enough to leave this behind
I literally just beat it before clicking this video. It is soooo fun and soooo gorgeous. I love this game and while this DLC was short, it was fantastic.
Already beat the dlc but still had to check your video out. Love the before you buy’s and well all of gameranx content honestly
👌😍
But does it help you get through tuff timez?????
i never heard of this game but seeing this gameplay and how you talk about it i am gonna get this game
This game, Horizon Forbidden West is the sequel of the game Horizon Zero Dawn which also has a DLC called the frozen wilds. This video is for the DLC of the sequel called burning shores. I recommend getting the first game too.
Just remember this is a sequel to horizon zero dawn which is also a fantastic game
Frosty wastes was a great expansion
Though I've never played that, nor the base game, I can tell you hot beaches dlc is even better. I haven't played this one either -gameranx
You were spot on with the small but tough relearning of the controls. You are thrown into the action right away. But I noticed that in a few hours all the muscle memory was back and i was whacking those machines left and right including the only new one who is pretty annoying with his little pesky helpers. Stinking mosquitoes.
Fingers crossed that we get more than one expansion this time. there are still so many cool areas on the west coast that would look great in the Horizon world
🔥 videos, keep up the great work
Thanks
Suprized that you didnt mention the new skills in the skill trees that you can unlock
Can I point out too that although there are no significantly good outfits, stat wise, they can be used as 'looks' which you can apply since some do look great.
Would you need to play the main game fully again or can this DLC be directly played? Unfortunately the main game which I had completed was in ps4
Are you guys gonna do deceive inc I've been loving it
Well, I'm stuck on PS4 for now so I can't play this DLC, just the base game, but I hope you'll enjoy it...rip me😢
Amazing video Jake from gameranx of the dlc of horizon 2 forbidden west,fantastic job.
Thank you for this video! I recently - finally - got a PS5, and intended to play Forbidden West again but it wasn't a priority. Now I'm excited to play through again just so I can play the DLC.
Love it. Like always with any new release, i'll wait 60 days before buying the DLC so they can send out whatever patches/updates/improvements before i buy and play.
still haven't figured out how to actually access the DLC yet... finished Singularity about a year ago, been doing side missions and such since then, and no Sylens has popped up nor the welcome window to open the Burning Shores DLC. (the DLC is mentioned on the title screen now tho') What to do?
I'm in the same boat.
Heard some people had to reinstall the DLC
@@matthijsweststrate5552 yeah that's what I had to do... basically had to download it twice. Once to the console off the eshop, and then 2nd to the game itself...odd, but ok I'm good now
@@TheActs2021 good to hear hope you're enjoying the DLC
Is it recommended that you be a certain level going in like Valhalla’s Siege of Paris?
I already brought it so far I'm loving it. I beat the first mission and did a side quest. So far I like the new characters, new location, and new machines.
As I started playing horizon last week after having it for so long and not feeling the need to play it cause holy shit does that game hold my hand
It really does
I don't blame you, these games are boring af.
Zero Dawn was great. Forbidden West killed the franchise for me.
@@mattmaas5790 who asked?
It definitely does.
I like the game well enough. But I really wish Aloy would SHUT UP a lot of the time. And there is a lot of hand holding that can get annoying.
This game is so gorgeous
I haven't played the DLC but I couldn't finish the base games they are so boring the graphics didn't redeem it for me
@@mattmaas5790 so true
@@mattmaas5790 idk i liked both
@@mattmaas5790 I don’t even own this game, and couldn’t get through the first. I need a game with a good story. These game’s definitely don’t deliver that.
@@mattmaas5790 who asked?
This game looks beautiful plays well they had a lot planned for it glad we getting the dlc’s and VR modes it was super unappreciated playing it for a second time might consider getting this when I finish .
Do you get to keep all your skills and items when you start this or do you have to start from scratch?
I'm having such a blast with this new DLC. I can get lost for hours in this beautiful new map. You already know the 3rd Horizon is gonna be mind-blowing. I'm not a big fan of the outfits. But thank God for the transmog system. Hopefully, they add transmog in for weapons as well.
Welp,
Later reality, back to the Burning Shores I go. ✌️
👌👌
A new video from Gameranx is always a click.
😍
Sam Witwer has a very unique voice in voice acting that is near impossible to replicate. Big fan.
I was hoping to play Burning Shores last night.
But I was fighting the last final secret boss in Octopath Traveler 2 and finishing up the game.
I’m so excited to jump back to Horizon.
Im stoked Horizon Forbidden West is on playstation plus now!! Perfect timing to jump in before the DLC.
RIP Lance Reddick 🙏🏻💙
Greatly written Eric! ✍️
Thanks
Backlog is so big,this will be half the price by the time I’m ready for it
Good idea, theyre pretty boring
@@mattmaas5790Why did you watch a video about a game you dont like to spam comments that it's boring.... I think that's boring.
@Sasssky haha very original reply. You would totally pwn all the kids at recess with your zingers. Insulting someone over their opinion is kinda sad.
@@mattmaas5790 who asked?
@@Sassssky he’s got way too much free time.
I'm so excited to play this DLC, and I can't wait for Horizon 3 (that rhymed)! I literally haven't even played the game since the first couple of weeks of its release, when I finished the story. Also, Jake, it's 'The Frozen Wilds' from Zero Dawn, not 'The Frozen Waste.'
excellent presentation. just bought a PS5 yesterday after finishing Forbidden West on ps4. so gotta do it all again to get to this add on. Was figuring to get the PS5 eventually, but this gave me incentive to speed it up..since PS4 games are playable it made sense.
Can't wait to play as Nico Avocado 😊
I bought dead island 2 for ps5 but after beating the gsme im getting this and the dlc.
👌👍🏼
@@gameranxTV 💙❤
LOL glad to learn I wasn’t the only one who forgot how to use the pull caster
That hologram they were looking at 1:15 into the video. It’s Jake Baldino with a moustache! You look great, Jake! 😆
They saw Zelda around the corner and went "Not this time" releasing well ahead of time
👆🏻
Bro! It was Frozen Wilds, and it was definitely not a waste!
The part about the Pullcaster sent me😭 I’d always forget how to use it if I took a break
I'm playing the base game on very hard after 1.21 update and enemy aggro and health have been dumbed down, nerfed. Many times enemy just stand there and let me have at it or when they attack the attack goes wide. Also there are more resources, berries, wood and such. Also more glitching. Any word on this?
I'm waiting for the Jedi Survivor before you buy.
Next week
This will be the last appearance of Lance Reddick...ever.
This is so sad...
Been playing for a few hours today and it looks great and the story and side stuff is great
Played through the DLC. Haven't 100% yet but am close to it. I loved every second of it myself.
Frozen waste DLC ☠️
I guess it's frozen wilds Jake
Lol, "Frozen Waste" 😂
This is perfect timing as I just finished my first playthrough last week.
So if u capture gameplay with 3d audio on , it will sound muffled if u watch from a tv
Frozen Wilds 😂
I don't mean to be a downer but compared to the first game, i really couldn't get into Forbidden West, something about it didn't hook me, i might go back and try it out now that the DLC is out)
👍🏼
I'd say your tastes probably changed and improved. They're both awfully boring and uninspired games. The enemies feel like alpha stand in code for more interesting enemies that was just left as it is.
@@mattmaas5790 i guess if you look at it that way its a good thing
It's the exact same for me. I just barely finished the first one and it was definitely not one of my favourites. I have way too many games to still play lying around here. Currently I'm doing 2 at once switching between them always ^__^. Kind regards!
@@Ativetah just curious which 2 games are they?
One pet peeve that has always stuck out is when your running and you want to do a slide in many cases Aloy will slow down just a tiny bit just before you press the slide button will make her do a freaking crawl instead! Wish to hell they'd fix this in some way. Aiming for very specific parts on enemies with very specific elements while the robotic enemies can just hit you anywhere and not get caught in any combo can send you flying and rolling on the ground each time still doing pretty damn good damage, plus getting "Gang Banged" by multiple enemies that all work amazingly well as a team regardless of species is just the best! What redhead character in a video game doesn't love a good, "Gang Bang?"
How do I get my dyes from preodering?
Some feedback to Gurilla
It's very disappointing to see that there are not a lot of op weapons I need to grind for in burning shores. I remember in the frozen wilds dlc where I had multiple playthroughs so I could fully fill my weapon enchantment slots so that I could have a fully maxed out kit.
Even the Armour was very good, although I dint have to work hard for it, I got it after completing a main quest I belive. It felt nice that even though it was pretty hard to finish the side and main missions they were worth it, offering me op items.
Gurilla if ure seeing this, I know the probability is less but if add an update please add some more weapons and Armour or even weapon coils like in the first game where if we grinded the game for example have multiple playthroughs of the dlc it would be very rewarding. Just like the frozen wilds dlc.
Go for the legendary critical hit coil (+15% damage and chance). There is also a bug after defeating the first tower where you can loot two of those coils. I have stacked them on my sharpshot bow with 2 of those elite coils and 3 (+15% crit chance coils) and its extremely OP on ultra hard. Have fun man
Lmao guy like grind 😂😂
Looks dope. Now just bring it to PC and don't screw it up!
👆🏻
+1
Just got the PS5 and I started a whole new game. Got the DLC and cant wait to finish it again so I can get to the L.A. I really love the Horizon story and love this game...especially since I first played it on the PS4.
You had me at FLYING A FREKKING RAPTOR
