[@DarkUnity]

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.

[@Komischer]

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 😅

[@giovannirobira7897]

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.

YES! I’ve accidentally gotten my mount killed in H:FW because I whistle. 😂 Not sure why they removed that.

[@DarkMatter428]

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. 😅

[@AdelaideBen1]

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.

[@DarkMatter428]

@@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.

[@AdelaideBen1]

@@DarkMatter428 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.

[@AdelaideBen1]

@@DarkMatter428 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)

[@DarkMatter428]

@@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.

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!

Watching a before you buy video after actually beating the game, I guess that’s a first for me. It happens quite often I’m watching a before you buy after I already bought it, but I can’t remember watching it after actually beating the game lol

Frozen waste DLC ☠️ I guess it's frozen wilds Jake

[@LEONARDATTAH]

I think Jake is the most reasonable and thorough reviewer in the industry. The fact that he went on to point out the obvious that Sony cut out the dlc for the PS4 owners of the base game making it solely for the PS5 is commendable. It really was in bad marketing taste. I for one will wait for my PS5 Pro and avoid paying twice or splitting my purchase but i can only imagine how base ps4 owners felt. With that being said, Sony Santa Monica remains the most complete studio owned by Sony - making their DLC to be for both generations as it already was on the last one shows support, not every dirty marketing tactic needs to be utilised to increase revenue.

This is the best way to slowly make a lore instead forcefully making a Horizon 2. By making a big DLC players will be so immerse of the continuing storyline of the game. If only Elder Scroll did this after the oblivion filling up the gaps up until the story of Skyrim for sure the Elder Scroll series will so so great not only in gameplay or immersiveness , also the Edlder Scroll story will be explored

[@MikeCincoCapas]

Bro! It was Frozen Wilds, and it was definitely not a waste!

[@leonjan326]

1. Frozen wilds is the correct name for the previous DLC 2. There are no new hunting grounds on this DLC

[@steadycuzzin5813]

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’m listening to this review and not watching the screen because I’m holding off playing the base game and the DLC until I get a PS5 and I want to go in super fresh. Thanks guys.

Are you guys gonna do deceive inc I've been loving it

[@tt._.7857]

It’s crazy bc I played about half of zero dawn forcing myself to play it because I heard how good it was. I found it so boring (didn’t get to the part where aloy descovers Gaia) then I tried playing forbidden west a year later and I didn’t understand it played only like 30 mins and it was still boring then a few months later I went back to forbidden west played it out a lil more and holy shitttt I loved it so much I went back replayed zero dawn and played forbidden west completing all side quests now I’m hooked just bought the dlc can’t wait to play it

[@tt._.7857]

@@Error-0x0194 it was just such a long intro into everything and I never really got to the more interesting part of finding out ab zobec and Gaia. Tbf I haven’t played many single players I usually play cod apart from that.some games I liked are: cyberpunk 2077, guardians of the galaxy, returnal,Spider-Man, hogwarts legacy Everything I’ve played is usually pretty quick story lines or they get into the interesting part quickly

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 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)

[@gameranxTV]

[@MrWizardGG]

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.

[@James-gj8rn]

@@MrWizardGG i guess if you look at it that way its a good thing

[@Ativetah]

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!

[@James-gj8rn]

@@Ativetah just curious which 2 games are they?

[@matheusbernardes2296]

Horizon is, for me, the best game when it comes to "chilling while killing". I don't mind that the gameplay didn't get overhauled, but a upgrade is always welcome . Hope that, in the next games, they make it even faster and dinamyc. And also change the upgrades cost

0:19 *Frozen Wilds 🙄 on the plus side, at least Jake pronounces the name of the main character correctly, unlike falcon, who for some reason always said "uh-LOY" instead of "AY-loy".

[@robyfaraa4105]

not that deep, you probably mispornounce a lot of words and names as well

[@ScotCinamon]

@@robyfaraa4105 Mispronouncing a name that you'd never seen or heard before is completely different then mispronouncing the name of the main character of the game that you're doing a video on, let alone one that is said hundreds if not more times in that game. For example, it was funny when the new owners of the Broncos mispronounced Roger Goodell's name last year at their first press conference right after they bought the team. If someone with an NFL-related KZbin channel did a video on how Roger Goodell mishandled a suspension or some shit and continually said his name wrong throughout the video, you would think "this dude has no idea wtf he is talking about."

[@robyfaraa4105]

@@ScotCinamon you are being affected by this too much. I heard many commentators pronouncing sport players last name weirdly all the time and the only difference is uh instead on ay lol. the main point is that we clearly know who they are talking about and thats good.

[@swag9830]

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.

[@christianthompson5640]

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

[@MrThekloner]

Lmao guy like grind 😂😂

[@deleymoul22]

Your comment about not having anything new to do, it's very off track , because I played that for 4 hrs yesterday and I haven't even started the second main mission, doing what looked like random quest and side quest as well, so I'm not sure what you meant by that and like the old saying goes, if it's not broken don't fix it, the only thing that I',m not sure is how long would the story be, but for me it was a MUST since I enjoyed the main game and I think it's one if not THE best looking game of this generation, some places are a sight to see!!!

I haven’t finished the Forbidden West yet. I don’t know what’s wrong, but it’s just not clicking with me right now. Zero Dawn was one of my favorite games last gen, I platinumed it, and sucked every bit of life out of it. I fully expected Forbidden West to be my GOTY last year, but to my surprise, it was Elden Ring (my first FromSoftware game). I platinumed Elden Ring and am pumped for the DLC. Maybe I’m just getting burnt out on the generic open world design. I’m really not certain why it isn’t clicking with me. I’ll play for an hour here and there, but I have it on mute and play a podcast while playing. I’m enjoying parts of the main story, but the actual gameplay just isn’t drawing me in anymore. If I was reviewing it, I’d give it an amazing score, because I know it’s a great game, and there aren’t many issues with it at all. I’m just not feeling the fun. Maybe I need to put it down and come back later, because I know I should be enjoying it.
