You are so good at playing this game. I really hope you’ll make Forbidden West video’s also. Can imagine there will at least be under water combat and perhaps ( fingers crossed ) even aerial combat.

[@aloyversus409]

I 100% will be cranking out Forbidden West combat videos! Can't wait. Aerial combat on top of a Glinthawk (or whatever that new flying machine is called) would be the coolest thing since sliced bread! No, cooler! :p

Thanks! The editing is totes the best part of making these! The perfectionist in me literally jumps out, tho.

[@antonvanoppen]

Do you do all your combats like these or do you just fight like this when the camera is rolling?

[@aloyversus409]

Love this question! So I try to play like this MOST but NOT all the time. If I'm just farming/grinding for resources, I won't be this flashy. If I'm getting ready to record, coming back from a break, or want to have some fun, then I'll turn up the heat.

Thank you!

[@thomaseyer2984]

Always Amazing, the editing is good ! But why is the video only in 720p (and the first one too) ?

[@aloyversus409]

Just easier for the software/my computer to handle. Also, I didn't think of it. I'll look into upping it to 1440p for the next video. Honest question: is it that big of a difference between the two?

[@thomaseyer2984]

@@aloyversus409 For me yes there is a good difference between 720p and 1080p. I just tested with one of your videos from 2 weeks ago, on the phone I already see a difference. On a 24-inch screen it's even more visible, as soon as there is movement it's very pixelated. I prefer to watch your videos on a big screen, it gives even more honor to your performances🏹😁. Afterwards I'm already happy to be able to see these "best clip" videos. If I want a better quality all your other videos are already in 1080p, so it's not a problem. Besides, I don't think I saw any comment about the 720p on your 2 "best clips" videos. So I don't think it's that important. I'd rather you buy a PS5 and Horizon Forbidden West than a PC that would allow you to make these 4 videos in 1080p. Otherwise, I love what you do, keep it up !

[@aloyversus409]

All the way from Normal to UH?! You're crazier than me, lol! Have you ever played any Hard modes? Before you make any leap, double up on as many resources as you can. Actually, triple up. They're expensive as hell in UH. Just remember if things get too tough in NG+, you won't be able to change the difficulty at all. Happy gaming!

I've never played a Souls game! Heard about them, but never tried them. I know the rolling is a lot like HZD, but way, way harder, right?

[@amkdream]

@@aloyversus409 yes !! But actually sekiro is more dependent on blocking and parrying enemies than dodging which makes it even more harder and faster ! If you ever play it just let me know what you think of it !

[@hamlinn1094]

While fighting ravagers, when they do the attack, u do short roll?

[@aloyversus409]

Generally a short roll because it gets me back into the action faster, but depending on their attacks, sometimes a long roll.

This gameplay would go really well with Doom soundtrack. Rip and tear...until it's done

Hell yes, lol! I wouldn't mind seeing a crazy ass crossover where the Doomslayer lands on Aloy's Earth and starts wiping out machines left and right. I'd pay good money to watch a film of that.

Nice! Yeah, those mods are kickass. I forgot all about the new Focus colors and face paints when I finally finished NG+.

[@MegaClutch10]

This game is on sale at a great price, is it worth it and who is this game mostly for?

[@aloyversus409]

Great question! It's for folks who are into sci-fi action mystery movies and games. The combat takes a little while to get used to (I've heard it being compared to Dark Souls with all the dodging), but is easily the best and most exciting I've ever played once you learn it. Almost every machine in itself is a boss fight; you can go in guns blazing, but strategy and the right loadouts is crucial early game (despite what my channel is like, I do go in guns blazing, lol). The environmental graphics are phenomenal, but the mo-cap in the cutscenes is definitely lacking. Faces appear stiff and uncanny, but the DLC brings some impressive improvements, both there and its whole story. The story is really impressive and sort of follows a "chosen one" theme with some great twists and character building. So yeah, I recommend it, lol!

It's really nice to see you adopt my style of creating videos. Can't go wrong with good music and a whole lot of action...makes me miss doing it myself. Great job! Keep up the great work. :)

[@aloyversus409]

Thanks, man! Lot of work, but worth it in the end. If you don't mind me asking, why'd you stop?

[@ForgeFiRE_]

Yes, it is without a doubt alot of work but just like you said worth it in the end. I stopped because I really needed a break from the game after playing it almost exclusively for 2 and a half years straight. I did however recently started playing it again from the very beginning but this time on a brand new television and had the intention of saving clips from this playthrough and creating more videos. Sadly, when playing the game on HDR mode it messes up the games colors whenever you save a video clip on the PS4 so out the window went that idea. I might turn HDR off in the future and make more videos but at the moment I'm really enjoying replaying all these games that I loved playing over the past 3-4 years with all the beautiful colors that HDR brings.

[@aloyversus409]

@@ForgeFiRE_ I hear you on the burnout. Just between you, me, and the FBI team eavesdropping, when the announcement trailer dropped, I totally expected Forbidden West to launch late 2020/early 2021. Not late 2021. That's why I was so excited to restart this channel. Get everyone hyped again, grab a PS5, and show off Forbidden West by Christmas. Then the most unpredictable year in history hit, so at least I got the first one checked off the list, haha. What have you been playing in the meantime?

[@ForgeFiRE_]

It's been a crazy year for sure but I will say one of the best things was you coming back to create more Horizon videos after your year'ish break. ;) I'm currently playing Horizon, Spider-Man & Miles Morales, Mortal Kombat 11 and will play God of War afterwards. That should take me close to mid-2021 where it will be time to get a PS5 and get ready for Forbidden West.

[@aloyversus409]

@@ForgeFiRE_ thanks, man. Good to be back! Nice, sounds like you've got a solid plan. The PS5s should be in stock by then, lol.
