couldnt hold back my patience to wait for it to release on pc!! (im coping) had to watch out of bound videos from the horizon series

[@jimwithheld7217]

Very nice. I got back once only. Excluding the grass on the of the rocky areas down lower. But had not been able to repeat. So many thanks. Now I need to try some more as you have shown.

[@saurillian]

Just wait, I have a follow up to this video coming out in the next day or two showing off more stuff here at the Zenith base! I will also be showing off the same trick to get to some other places as well

Been patched out as of today. Normally falling Aloy could go through the invisible walls, but now they are so solid you can basically slide down it.

[@FenrirAldebrand]

See you have a different way. I like that. The other way people do takes you too close to the warp point for the Burning Shores DLC, and you can't use it anymore. Edit: Took me 2 tries. And i did find out if you go near that Triangle in the island it'll start warning you about going to the Burning Shores if you're flying.

2 things. 1. There is also another way to get there (if you haven't done the final mission yet, only this one is possible) 2. Aloy says there's a height limit, but after she says just keep flying higher, I was able to fly all the way to the top with no problems, but the tower is not solid

What did you like more about zero dawn vs west? I mean so many things where improved upon a lot and simply better like quests in forbidden west. But yea i guess it would be the story.

[@saurillian]

It's not just the story. Several areas are just not as good. For instance, exploration is not nearly as satisfying in this game. For that I'll just copy something I said to a friend in discord, because honestly my brain is in a bit of a fog atm and I'd said it pretty well with them. "The size of the map and thus the areas you can explore wasn't so much an issue for me, it was the WAY exploration is done. There's too many interactables all over the place to "facilitate" (constrain/make linear) your exploration. Grapple points, firegleam spots, metal flowers, etc. I knew as soon as I saw one of those things I'd found something without even seeing it. The game needs more areas you can just randomly come across while climbing and walking without prompts telling you. The first game had that quite a bit. Brin's house, Rost's grave, Hunter's Gathering, the northern Valley, hell even the whole of Free Heap and that entire quest line." We talked at length along these lines to do with several aspects of the game, the weapons system, combat mechanics, consumables, world building... Each time we came to the same conclusion conclusion: The first game did it better. That isn't to say Forbidden West is bad, I'd still give it a solid rating, just not as good as the first. As my friend said, " Overall, the mechanics and systems are just too bloated and need some streamlining. It's a classic case of less is more."

how long did it take you to get in? i’ve been wanting to, but haven’t had any luck at all 🥲

[@saurillian]

I didn't cut anything out in the video, I just fast forwarded through 3 failed attempts. In total I think I tried 6 or 7 times, which is a bit more than usual, however I have been doing this since shortly after the he came out so I know the feel of it very well. Just keep practicing, you'll get better at it I'm sure

[@lasttaco9582]

@@saurillian okay!! I did it a few times and just haven't had any luck yet.
