I really liked the development of her stunts, acrobats, and spearmanship in FW!

I prefer ZD over FW for sure. I think the gameplay is far better. FW just adds in a load of stuff that makes it less fun. Ammo types that take too long to unlock at higher difficulty levels so they feel locked away, melee combos that are too mechanically complex to actually use in combat (the fight pits make it obvious that even the devs knew that), too many weapon types to feel like you're always making the most effective use of them all. The story was almost as good though.
Forbidden West is one of those rare sequels where I felt like the devs put heartfelt effort into improving *all* the shaky parts of the previous game. HZD was great, don’t get me wrong, but FW felt even better in *every* way.
I fucking LOVE watching skillful players play games I've already played because Im old and slow and can not do any cool shit like this. Well done machinehunter!
I'm sure you do amazing! Remember that the point of playing a game is to have fun. It doesn't matter if you do it on the easiest or the hardest difficulty. :)
@@FreakDaMIghet Thank you for saying that! I tend to adjust the difficulty as needed. With HZD/FB I lower big boi fights but most other things I keep at normal. When I played Death Stranding, I started on "easy" but 1/2 way through I pushed it up to "hard" and finished the game on "hardest" and when I played my one and only Fromsoft game, Elden Ring (yes, I too jumped on the bandwagon) I stayed in the "easy" zone and got myself leveled up and up and up and man the grind got boring so I finally ventured forth reckoning I had ground it down to easy mode, made it all the way to Vulcano Mountain and then I stopped. I think the point is, keep playing, find a way, keep the brain engaged and work with what's there. I am so grateful games have accessibility options now (except fromsoft, more's the pity there).

I got zero dawn early to mid '22,finished it and immediately opened up the Playstation store and got Forbidden West. You can actually feel that the creators listened to constructive criticism about the combat and UI which is rare and fantastic. Great games.
Maybe in some ways but there is still very much not listened A few examples, why can't we show the weak points all the time and have to mark everything individually or scan again and again why do we not have a setting to still run after a slide many inputs are buggy/not triggering right hunting ground quests still don't get marked as finishes in your quest log after competing them individually just to name a few that came into my mind
@@ashleybosch7220Pros won't play in story/easy mode. And with how far the player is in this clip, he might be nearby max level. Silent strikes pretty much kill every humans, even the champions (the ones with shields).
Dude. “Shook” is not even the right word to describe my reaction. I am shaken, stirred, and blended I am in such awe of this playthrough. You are an absolute master, and every single move was smooth as hell. THIS is how this game was meant to be played.
This game is so underrated and under appreciated. Overall it’s probably the greatest game ever made from a technological standpoint. It’s not even my favorite game of all time, but what they were able to achieve while still be chained to last gen was insane……and for being as detailed as it is for as massive as the game is. Elden Ring doesn’t have sh*t on this game. The only people that say otherwise are jealous petty Xboxers that are desperate for any sort of decent game. So when a decent game does come out they sit there acting like it’s a masterpiece. Elden Ring is a 7.5 AT BEST.
@@clalam5241Not a bad take at all. Elden Ring is grossly overrated. That’s why it’s combined userscore is sitting at a 6.8-6.9. It’s called being objective. People that think Elden Ring is better than this are the insane ones. The quality level of everything in Elden Ring is literally decades behind.
Remembering how her hunting, acrobats, spearmanship, and combat skills in ZD are quite simple in gameplay, now damn she improved and improvised to the next level! She's gotten way dangerous and deadly asf loved it😩👌GG totally deserve the recognition for this~
1:45 can we just appreciate the cinematic quality of the slash being performed off screen, with only the blood splatter visible on the concealing object?
Horizon is one of my favorite games and I absolutely love the combat in both versions, it shows Aloy’s progression in fighting technique, first she could really only reliably stealth kill people, now she still relies on stealth but can also throw hands like nobody’s business
Okay that was sick as hell. The fact that you dont end a light hit combo with an heavy one to ruin your chance to hit the blue spot on an enemy, then put that blue spot on an enemy by jumping back and shoot him, then use your grappler while still being in the air not for long before landing, then press the circle button to jump out of the point of grapple to go back to your Sunwing. That was the most skillful sequence I've ever seen.
That was really cool. I haven't played the game since I beat it last year so i only just started my New Game Plus today to train up before hitting the burning shores this week. I think the most impressive part of this was knowing where all the enemies were without pinging the focus every 2 seconds like I have to lol
I haven't played forbidden west yet, but man, these animations and all the mechanics you can use to get around...in aN OPEN WORLD GAME? it's on another level, I swear
Silent strike changes quite a bit based on opponent and your position in comparison to the opponent. Approach a shielded target from the front (stealthed of course as silent strike needs that) and you consistently roll up and over the shield to backstab
I bought my PS4 for Bloodbourne, but the Horizon series made me feel like it wasn't a waste. I love these games and watching you play makes me want to go back and perfect my skills as an apex predator. Nice job.
moves quickly and stealthily pops out and does murders before anyone has time to react hitches a ride on a passing robobird swings back and mops up the remaining mooks does not elaborate
@@renekraan8125 Oh no. That was such a relied upon tool for me in the first game! Hahah lol. I bought the second game, but won’t be able to get to it for a long time. I have quite the game line-up to go through first.
Only 3 things I miss in Forbidden West: - whistle to draw attention - Aloy don't activate a trap she made if she step on it - objectives marks follow the route on the map; in Zero Dawn these marks appear in the compass to the direction of the objectives but the marks on the screen follow the route traced on the map, making it easier to follow it since there's no on-screen map. In Forbidden West both objective and the personal marker only appears in the direction of that point, doesn't follow any route.
Might have to go into settings but I'm pretty sure there's a pathfinder setting that does this. I prefer to just have a waypoint exactly where it is w/out the compass because you can make your own path with how much you can climb, fly, etc.
These silent strike moves are great, also had them. We were so excited with my husband each time. Key is to attack before they get a hold of you 100%. You can also use smoke bombs, although I find just attacking funnier 😬.
Only part that was actual combat was the 2 kills before launching up to the sunwing. An energy surge combo to fully charge the spear into a light, heavy combo to strike an energy resonance with an arrow to detonate it
When you put it all together its absolutely brilliant the way you can pull off all those amazing moves. Its an absolute pleasure to play these games because they work so effortlessly. Practice makes perfect as they say
Wow, very nice. This reminded me of those far cry stealth kill videos people upload. The spear stealth kills in this game are brutal. I fell out of my chair the first time I saw one. Like, wtf was Aloy doing between the two games?
I found the combat needs still some refining, because especially against machines i used to evade constantly in an arena without getting the space from the maschine that i needed to refocus and plan my next attack. I also had a lot of problems to evade attacks from maschines without geting hit and sometimes wished the shield she uses for gliding was still usable as one, even if it needed to recharge before i could use it again or something like that. I hope for an improvement in some way for combat like that in the upcoming dlc.
What you’re describing here is playing style related, while I do agree the combat can be improved, and it will for the next game as this one was from its successor, those issues you mentioned are not really related to combat mechanics as I don’t have those issues, however I used to, until I improved my playing style, depending on how good you are properly learning all machine attack patterns, they are all telegraphed to a degree depending on how powerful they are, and some of them have area effect, meaning that while you’re inside this area, you can not dodge them. Once you learn all attack patterns and effects, and how to dodge/avoid them, you’ll pretty much be able fight any machine at any difficulty with no damage. Just like the poster of this video did for humans, he took the time to learn what’s necessary to look this badass, and you can too, if you dedicate the time to do so. I sucked at it at first, and I’m not fast at all at being good in video games, but after almost 1000 hours with this game, I’ve learned to kill anything while remaining untouched. Oh, and I only use hunter arrows as anything else feels too easy, yes, in ultra hard.
@@Vic_n78 Yeah ok, i have 115 hours or so in the game and platinumed it and i understand what you mean with the patterns, but i found it quite inconsistent a lot of times. Like dodging a specific attack might work 6/10 times with no apparent reason that something else was done differently. Just to be clear, i am talking about the big guys like Slitherfang or Tremortusks. I don't know, i got frustrated a lot of times during these big maschine fights, which isn't uncommon for me, but i felt like i wasn't in control enough as the player and it took me out a bit, you know?
@@jezzluck Getting the a platinum trophy is cool, but that says nothing about how good out combat can be, I know it can be frustrating, the Slaughterspine had me pulling my hair out sor a long time. Depending on how much you like the game and how much time you want to invest in it those 6/10 success rate will start to improve. Also, while I can pretty much kill any machine without damage often, it doesn’t mean always, because there are many factors at play in every fight. Slitherfangs are very easy to kill, specially if you learn when to shoot them as you can cancel many of their attacks, you can even cancel them going underground. Plasma can os are the most annoying thing about Tremortusks, the shock cannons too, but they are very easy to take out. You take out the shock cannon first, then the plasma cannons, after that they are a piece of cake. Practice the timing on your dodge, I personally find dodging extremely gratifying and therapeutic 😂. When my skills sucked, I put the difficulty settings to custom: Damage to Aloy: Story Enemy health: Very Hard And fought every machine over and over and over until I mastered them all. Oh, and also easy loot: ON That way while practicing you get a lot of machine parts, win-win. Once you feel confident, put everything back to very hard and see how it goes, or start a game in Ultra Hard.
One thing that I couldn't ever possibly get past is the fact that the devs took a very beautiful actress, use her likeness, and then proceeded to make the digital version of her face look like a dog that got stung while trying to eat a bee.
They put the Focus because you're supposed to use it, without Aloy's tech is just Assassins Creed not Horizon. Nothing wrong with this gameplan that but definitely is not "how it should be"
I just appreciate the game for rewarding playing how the game "should" be. Not that I want to be told exactly how to do things. But it's nice that it can be more fun to get good at all the different mechanics instead of being some hyper fps god only.
I was expecting you to mess up immediately because of how differently the two games play. At least you were on a low enough difficulty that you didn't have to worry about it too much.
The way she performs those super human feats like climbing ruined skyrises is nothing short of amazing. In the real world i know of no one that can climb those skyrises and jumping fairly long distances distances the way she does. Not to mention jumping from one grapple point to another. I'd be scared shitless if i were to do that.
no, the veteran would never have cleared the camp for so long. There are only two steps in a good tactic, 1) kill the big one, 2) use his weapon to destroy all life
I love how much they've improved on mechanics in this game in comparison to its predecessor, every part of it seems to be an upgrade and the variety of skills and abilities make for some pretty creative takedowns!
Godamn that sunwing grapple to escape was epic how did you set it up in the perfect position anyway ? Or was it just an unexpected coincidence that you just took the advantage of
The moment you grapple to a standing post, your Sunwing automatically flies nearby just in case you want to grapple to it. You can do this with all the standing posts in the game. What I'm more impressed is the rolling over the shield, I never knew or managed to get an opportunity to do that (I usually just pull the heavy weapons out and blast them mini-bosses to death lol)
I'm in absolute awe! I'm fairly new to gaming, so far i've only played Zelda on switch and horizon fw on ps5 - my fiancé 's consoles lol. I never had one of my own growing upso this is all sort of new. Wish i could play like that tho!

When you put it all together its absolutely brilliant the way you can pull off all those amazing moves. Its an absolute pleasure to play these games because they work so effortlessly. Practice makes perfect as they say
i love this game, so underrated
I can confirm as a zero dawn veteran that I play like this except but this is so mutch better than I have ever done
the real sample of BAD ASS !!!
God when she punches the dude and slams his head on her knees, it's stupidly satisfying to watch.
ok that was sick. especially at 1:18
Wow, very nice. This reminded me of those far cry stealth kill videos people upload.
The spear stealth kills in this game are brutal. I fell out of my chair the first time I saw one. Like, wtf was Aloy doing between the two games?
God damn this game looks fun. I hope it eventually comes out on PC (and that I can eventually afford a PC that will do it justice 😅)
I found the combat needs still some refining, because especially against machines i used to evade constantly in an arena without getting the space from the maschine that i needed to refocus and plan my next attack. I also had a lot of problems to evade attacks from maschines without geting hit and sometimes wished the shield she uses for gliding was still usable as one, even if it needed to recharge before i could use it again or something like that. I hope for an improvement in some way for combat like that in the upcoming dlc.
What you’re describing here is playing style related, while I do agree the combat can be improved, and it will for the next game as this one was from its successor, those issues you mentioned are not really related to combat mechanics as I don’t have those issues, however I used to, until I improved my playing style, depending on how good you are properly learning all machine attack patterns, they are all telegraphed to a degree depending on how powerful they are, and some of them have area effect, meaning that while you’re inside this area, you can not dodge them.
Once you learn all attack patterns and effects, and how to dodge/avoid them, you’ll pretty much be able fight any machine at any difficulty with no damage.
Just like the poster of this video did for humans, he took the time to learn what’s necessary to look this badass, and you can too, if you dedicate the time to do so.
I sucked at it at first, and I’m not fast at all at being good in video games, but after almost 1000 hours with this game, I’ve learned to kill anything while remaining untouched.
Oh, and I only use hunter arrows as anything else feels too easy, yes, in ultra hard.
@@Vic_n78 Yeah ok, i have 115 hours or so in the game and platinumed it and i understand what you mean with the patterns, but i found it quite inconsistent a lot of times. Like dodging a specific attack might work 6/10 times with no apparent reason that something else was done differently. Just to be clear, i am talking about the big guys like Slitherfang or Tremortusks.
I don't know, i got frustrated a lot of times during these big maschine fights, which isn't uncommon for me, but i felt like i wasn't in control enough as the player and it took me out a bit, you know?
@@jezzluck Getting the a platinum trophy is cool, but that says nothing about how good out combat can be, I know it can be frustrating, the Slaughterspine had me pulling my hair out sor a long time.
Depending on how much you like the game and how much time you want to invest in it those 6/10 success rate will start to improve.
Also, while I can pretty much kill any machine without damage often, it doesn’t mean always, because there are many factors at play in every fight.
Slitherfangs are very easy to kill, specially if you learn when to shoot them as you can cancel many of their attacks, you can even cancel them going underground.
Plasma can os are the most annoying thing about Tremortusks, the shock cannons too, but they are very easy to take out.
You take out the shock cannon first, then the plasma cannons, after that they are a piece of cake.
Practice the timing on your dodge, I personally find dodging extremely gratifying and therapeutic 😂.
When my skills sucked, I put the difficulty settings to custom:
Damage to Aloy: Story
Enemy health: Very Hard
And fought every machine over and over and over until I mastered them all.
Oh, and also easy loot: ON
That way while practicing you get a lot of machine parts, win-win.
Once you feel confident, put everything back to very hard and see how it goes, or start a game in Ultra Hard.
Aloy being an absolute psychopath
You’d have to know where everyone is at too do this. I wonder how many time they rehearsed it
100%
One thing that I couldn't ever possibly get past is the fact that the devs took a very beautiful actress, use her likeness, and then proceeded to make the digital version of her face look like a dog that got stung while trying to eat a bee.
Finally! Someone out there that plays it like me and how it should be, no hud, compass or aimer. Makes it more dynamic and immersive
They put the Focus because you're supposed to use it, without Aloy's tech is just Assassins Creed not Horizon. Nothing wrong with this gameplan that but definitely is not "how it should be"
The developers didn't put those mechanics in the game for a laugh dude.
Thats gonna be my next playthrough
"How it should be." Uh no. Not everyone has the time or patience for that
@@sfs2040 Fair enough. I just enjoy it like that to be stealthy and enjoy the game mechanics more, its preem chooms, try it sometime :)
Some of the best horizon gameplay I've ever seen.
A veteran indeed👌
This is some next-level gameplay. Amazing!
He’s know the best play for every scenario because the character/game literally tells you everything. 😂
Very smooth
I just appreciate the game for rewarding playing how the game "should" be. Not that I want to be told exactly how to do things. But it's nice that it can be more fun to get good at all the different mechanics instead of being some hyper fps god only.
I was expecting you to mess up immediately because of how differently the two games play. At least you were on a low enough difficulty that you didn't have to worry about it too much.
The way she performs those super human feats like climbing ruined skyrises is nothing short of amazing. In the real world i know of no one that can climb those skyrises and jumping fairly long distances distances the way she does. Not to mention jumping from one grapple point to another. I'd be scared shitless if i were to do that.
Is this silent strike,isn't it?
Yes it is
Now we need a video of a horizon forbidden west veteran replaying zero dawn 🪳
oh yeah amazing transitions !! I can do all of those move but i never did them so smoothly . This was flawless!
I played this exact location last night and I must say, it did not go anything like that. I spent 30 minutes throwing rocks to distract people
no, the veteran would never have cleared the camp for so long. There are only two steps in a good tactic, 1) kill the big one, 2) use his weapon to destroy all life
Just like a well choreographed fight scene
Some assassins creed silent killing my man, you mastered the combat system my friend!!
Goddamn that grapple at the Sunwing was cool as hell holy shit
Absolutely brilliant. I've been trying to play this way ever since I first saw this video. Powerful , brutal and absolutely brilliant. Steve 👍
What the shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...that was awesome, 1:19 this sequence felt so smooth.
That's what Aloy would really do in the forbidden west, not all those fancy new combinations.
I love how much they've improved on mechanics in this game in comparison to its predecessor, every part of it seems to be an upgrade and the variety of skills and abilities make for some pretty creative takedowns!
You can tell from the outfit choice this is a Zero Dawn veteran ;) I LOVE this.
This game is so fun. They really amped up the style and coolness factor.
The 2nd grapple pull to your Sunwing mount was so SAUCEEE🥵🥵
I just started playing Zero Dawn but now i want to grind through it so i can play Forbidden West. Daaaammmnnnn
After the first few kills, I’m like “I can do that too.”
*pull caster onto the pole then directly onto mount
Me: “wtf just happened?!”
Why is it so true tho 😂😂 I assumed everyone played like this lol
I beat ZD on Ultra Hard 4 times and now I'm working through FW on Ultra Hard and omg its INTENSE. Such a beautiful game ❤
Godamn that sunwing grapple to escape was epic how did you set it up in the perfect position anyway ? Or was it just an unexpected coincidence that you just took the advantage of
Actually I left it out there for a quick escape because there was a rebel leader there in case things didn’t go as planned
The moment you grapple to a standing post, your Sunwing automatically flies nearby just in case you want to grapple to it. You can do this with all the standing posts in the game. What I'm more impressed is the rolling over the shield, I never knew or managed to get an opportunity to do that (I usually just pull the heavy weapons out and blast them mini-bosses to death lol)
As a Zero Dawn veteran myself, this is exactly how I play also.
I'm in absolute awe! I'm fairly new to gaming, so far i've only played Zelda on switch and horizon fw on ps5 - my fiancé 's consoles lol. I never had one of my own growing upso this is all sort of new. Wish i could play like that tho!
Wow, just wow. Epic gameplay kudos to you!
Meanwhile I didn’t even know these attacks existed….
Great video with my favorite girl!
I've been using bows in both games, but I have to try some melee now.
This is how the game should be played. It's now how I played it LOL. But it's definitely how it was meant to be played.
Why are Aloy and all the NPCs completely silent during combat? No shouts, grunts of exertion, cries of pain when wounded, just utterly mute?
I have turned off speech
Dude 1:02 to the end was sick
