Playing my fiancée's favorite game to ensure a happy marriage. Let's Try - Horizon Zero Dawn

Hope you enjoyed the video. If you liked it, you know what to do ;)
The day I released this video, March 17th 2023, the voice actor for Silence (Sylens), Lance Reddick, passed away. Rest in peace. I am not familiar with much of his work, but he killed in in as Sylens.

[@ki2348]

this is terribly underrated! i an absolutely obsessed with hzd and this only revived my love for this game even more

[@leaptriesit]

I'm glad I could help you with that! Thank you so much for watching, Ki!

[@rootsootriot]

Dude, this is absolutely hysterical. Also congrats to you and your fiancé!

[@leaptriesit]

I appreciate it! Thank you for the kind words!

[@pilastrum1034]

I laughed so hard with your video!! It's the best summary of HZD I've ever seen, you explained it so hilariously well. I hope you play Forbidden West, not just because it's another amazing game, but because I would love to see what you make with it.

[@leaptriesit]

Thank you! I'm waiting for Forbidden West to come to PC before I play it. I promise I will make a video and butcher the story all over again! Have a great day Pilastrum!

[@crystalfox_gamingtm]

@@leaptriesit Well you got another year to wait then. And I hope you really butcher the story again. Loved the video!

[@leaptriesit]

Thank you so much Crystalfox, you better believe I will ruin the story all over again. I look forward to seeing you when that day comes :D

[@crystalfox_gamingtm]

@@leaptriesit I look foward to seeing you too!

[@rigobertoruvalcaba]

Na bro you the funniest KZbinr I've ever Subscribed To (unfortunately sylens actor Lance Reddick passed away)

[@leaptriesit]

Thanks so much dude! Yeah, very unfortunate, he was very talented.

[@amandaherbert4194]

This video literally made me lol even the 3rd time watching it. I liked the way you presented the pros and cons with the game. Very well edited, some of the best I’ve seen on KZbin. Subscribed.

[@leaptriesit]

That's so nice of you to say! Thank you, Amanda!

[@Elkyri]

Nice video! I'm not the veteran gamer others are ..... but..... Horizon Zero Dawn is absolutely the best game ever. Reddick did make Sylens the perfect ambiguous critter, neither good or evil. Plot for the sequel (Horizon: Forbidden West) isn't quite as rich (as in being more predictable and less layered) but I'm enjoying it too.

[@leaptriesit]

Thank you, Elkyri! Normally RPG style games aren't my thing, but Horizon was a step above the rest for sure. Reddick did a fantastic job with Sylens voice, may he rest in peace.

[@MehmetN]

You are an absolute comedic genius. Thanks.

[@leaptriesit]

No, thank you! Hope you enjoyed :D

[@hannahbentes5119]

this video is so underrated i had a great time with it! currently playing the game and having a blast. Keep it up your narration is amazing

[@leaptriesit]

Thank you, Hannah! I hope you enjoy the game

[@richbininger8859]

Yakety Sax over a montage of deaths during that first Scorcher encounter entering the Frozen Wilds DLC reminded me of my experience. I had originally chalked it up to being a 40 something graybeard that just wasn’t as dexterous with the sticks as I was twenty years ago. Encourages me to see so many KZbinrs getting ganked in this first Scorcher encounter to know it’s not just me, this fight was hella hard and set the tone that the DLC was going to be a grind, even on normal difficulty. All the AI/Turing lore and the conversation with CYAN at the end made it a must play.

[@leaptriesit]

I saw that the level requirement was 30 or something, so i wanted to do the quest at the "recommended" level. I actually made it through the scorcher and started the quest, but my fiancee told me to come back after I finish the game because the weapons and coils were too OP. But good golly did that scorcher give me the sauce on my first try. Have a great day Rich

[@AverageAspie]

Playing this again on NG+ to show to my Dutch partner (Dev Studio is in Amsterdam). Thisll be fun to watch as a quick funni before Frozen Wilds and FW ^^

[@ILIKEOTTERS]

Matriarchs are just salty that aloys the only one immune to yo mama jokes

[@leaptriesit]

I would have paid you for that joke if I heard it before making this video

[@tchoupi_mais_sans_amis]

You deserve way more credits bro, keep it up man you made it to my recommandations + made me laugh, wish you the best on ytb

[@leaptriesit]

Aw thank you so much! It's amazing people like you that make it all worth it. Have a fantastic day.

[@RurouniSanj]

That's all well and good, though i gotta admit your girlfriend sure has great taste though. In more ways than one.

[@leaptriesit]

;)

[@lnsflare1]

Rost was clearly trying to murder that kid for throwing a rock at his daughter.

[@leaptriesit]

Ohhh and Aloy was the bigger person and saved the kid by deflecting Rost's arrow with her rock! It all makes sense!

[@Abraham_Torres]

I rolled when you put the smash fighter bit 😂😂😂

[@leaptriesit]

Glad you liked it! You'll be happy to hear there's more to come soon.

[@Doge8537]

Nice video and really funny! Keep it up👍

[@leaptriesit]

Glad you liked it, lion!

[@Coffee1776er]

Youre hilarious and know how to put a video together. I love the different, from the other gamers. Make more content 🤣

[@leaptriesit]

That is so incredibly nice of you to say, mark my words Amanda, I won't disappoint you!

[@BudBonkerson]

this is a great video! i've never played hzd but i really enjoyed watching this :)

[@leaptriesit]

I'm glad you liked it, Bud!

[@Shield.Maiden]

This game came with great acting. It's a fun game and it made me cry twice ( both games). I went and got a ps5 for this game. My Xbox is dusty ...

[@bigmayonnaze]

I love the effort you put into this video. I hope you love this game as much as I did!

[@leaptriesit]

Thank you so much, I try my best! I did really enjoy the game!

[@hopedunlop2688]

My favorite ginger avenger

[@emeraldknight22]

I see your Fiancée is a woman of taste, lol. This is hilarious because my boyfriend has to put up with me when it comes to the Horizon games. My alltime favorites.

[@leaptriesit]

Ah, my fiancee's spirit sister, nice to meet you

[@littlerascal2171]

The Frodo desinging robots part got me laughin so much! :D:D:D

[@leaptriesit]

Yeah that one's straight outta LOTR extended director's cut after the credits under the covers behind the fridge. Easy to miss.

[@edikind3347]

The daemonic Scorcher is kinda the gatekeeper of tfw if you can’t kill you can’t do tfw.

[@leaptriesit]

Yeeep, that leason was learned in blood

[@multigenerator5256]

Bro this is underrated as hell

[@leaptriesit]

Glad you enjoyed :D

[@Mindspectrum]

No need to even think about it, you definitely have to marry her.

[@leaptriesit]

Sure will :D

[@NayDeevo31]

Awesome, loving the lets have a look at this thing mentality you had with your sense of humour too. Only complaint which I've seen a few times is where more?

[@leaptriesit]

Thank you, Nathan! I promise I got some good stuff cooking in the background. School has really picked up for me, so please be patient for the next upload. I look forward to seeing you in the comments :D

[@cyrilic4me]

Just randomly found your video and had to comment. Loved it! Subscribing and hoping you’ve covered some of Sony’s other great games (legit just watched this so I’m about to check out your channel and videos for the first time). Hope you also review Forbidden West!

[@leaptriesit]

Glad you liked it! Do you have any recommendations for Sony games? And don't worry, I will gladly make a Forbidden West video, I just need it to come out on PC first :D

[@MilkPudding]

LOL! Really funny and great run-through.

[@leaptriesit]

Thank you so much! Nothing like scruching a 40 hour game into a 12 minute mess, eh?

[@finncinjaere6293]

This was a really good vid I’m sure your channel will grow if you keep these videos up

[@leaptriesit]

Thanks! I'll try my best! Hope to see you again finn!

[@dirtybird2202]

LOL !!!! I love this game

[@leaptriesit]

Shoot robot dinosaurs with bows? Sign me up!

[@tylerdavis4621]

Girl, errand girl and errand boy😀

[@bafumat]

I would totally marry a mop with Aloys face on it now.

[@leaptriesit]

lol

[@JoeelsChannel]

Bro your a menace with the commentary 😂💀

[@leaptriesit]

Thank you! I hope I can continue to impress, have a great day!

[@Ricardo29j]

Aloy was genetically enhanced !

[@The_Story_Of_Us]

My assumption is that the Dorito measured that like 99.47% of all POSSIBLE genetic variance between Merida and old Merida is identical, it wouldn't make sense for the device to be like "I can confirm, user, that you are in fact not genetically an orangutan." There is also something I would like to point out when it comes to criticizing people for not being rational in this game, which is that they're religious nutjobs, they abandon claim to reason when they mistake a literal door alert for a goddess and then spin an entire culture around it. There is a literal suicidal schizophrenic in this game and somehow his brain isn't too far off the average in this world in terms of proper functionality.

[@leaptriesit]

You're funny, I thnk you are right about all this. I dont think I stopped to consider that they're just stright up crazy Thanks for chatting :D

[@The_Story_Of_Us]

@@leaptriesit thank you! I mean seriously, like 80% of all conversational dialogue in this game is Merida being dumbfounded by everyone's stupidity.

[@antoinemint1353]

This man chose violence, no matter what. 🤣

[@leaptriesit]

Violence isn't the answer, its the solution

[@kjellbeats]

you should definitely play the sequel hfw too :)

[@leaptriesit]

I plan to once it comes out on PC! It's a shame that will probably be a while 😅

[@kjellbeats]

@@leaptriesit true, I'm a pretty big Horizon fan so i got a ps5 for it but i guess not everyone is irresponsible enough to do that haha

[@leaptriesit]

@@kjellbeats No no! More power to you! It's just that I would have to get a PS5, the game, and a capture card just to play one game and make a video. So I'm content waiting. You must be excited for the DLC thats coming up soon.

[@OshawattIsANinja]

excited to see your review of forbidden west!

[@leaptriesit]

It's in the works!

[@oooooo6220]

This wasy fav game but then horizon 2 came out and it was a long fun game and aloy even gets a girlfriend

[@kolinsoots8343]

your wife has good taste

[@leaptriesit]

Yeah! She has great taste in games too!

[@abnormalnox]

Yknow I was JUST gonna say this. Looks like I didn't have to 😂

[@leaptriesit]

Glad we're on the same wavelength 😆

[@midwesternpickle]

On to the next one!

[@leaptriesit]

I hope to when forbidden west comes out on PC!

[@nicolaslabra2225]

i`d too leave my partner for Aloy to be honest.

[@leaptriesit]

Lol

[@ILIKEOTTERS]

How tf do you have less than 1k subs?

[@leaptriesit]

That is beyond nice of you to say, I hope you enjoyed :D

[@romandruckermusic]

Your fiancée has great taste. And i love how you butchered the story, 10/10 would wanna see you talk about merida again. I absolutely cannot wait for forbidden west to come to PC and i look forward to seeing you provide such insightful insight into the depth of the narrative. Consider me a subscriber. (Also Control is really cool, and it comes with the bonus of turning your pc into a very handy space heater. The raytracing also looks beautiful and it has the potential to make you nostalgic for stop-motion with its framerates - so check it out if you so desire)

[@leaptriesit]

Wow Roman that is so kind of you to say! Yeah, when forbidden west hits PC, you best believe I will be making a mockery of its lore all over again. I haven't played Control, but I will consider it for the future! For what it's worth I'll be sure to credit you if I end up playing it ;P if I don't be sure to yell at me extra loud. Have a great day my dude

[@leaptriesit]

If you enjoyed this video, you're invited to watch me suffer through the Frozen Wilds DLC as well! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHS3d4h5qracj9U

[@sirtunacan]

0:46 is it a cool "ranch" dorito or a cool ranch dorito?

[@leaptriesit]

I think that's a question that will never truly be answered

[@emoellieroks]

But, did you actually enjoy it? Or go back to the cut? Do you love it now?! I need more information!

[@leaptriesit]

I am pleased to report that your comment ignited an argument between my fiancee and I. She demands I go back to the cut for you. RPG's like this aren't really my style, but horizon wasn't bad. Shooting dinosaurs = dopamine. I hope you enjoyed, Ellie :D

[@geostyma]

Omfg….never seen anyone get knocked off a Tallstrider

[@leaptriesit]

Yeah, that glinthawk had it out for me. Made sure to shoot him down before hoping on the second time. Hope you enjoyed :D

[@RandomRoger]

But I'm not clear if you liked it or not 😂

[@leaptriesit]

I enjoyed it, yes. As you could guess, I'm not crazy for plot in any game, but the combat more than made up for it. I hope you enjoyed Roger.

[@RandomRoger]

@@leaptriesit cool. Looking forward to your review of the sequel and it's DLC.

[@leaptriesit]

@@RandomRoger Thanks! I'll see you there! Have a great day!

[@blazing_pyro67]

Can't wait for Forbidden West's video 😂

[@leaptriesit]

Thank you! I look forward to making it! Hope you enjoyed, Pyro

[@merion297]

I dunno, somehow, in a way, it surely could have been funny but demagoguery always irritates me, mostly in politics, but congratulations, you managed to implement it to a gaming experience. (Trivia: Demagoguery is a self-serving selective consideration and distortion of facts and connections between.) I can imagine how your fiancée got this hystie after seeing this. (Btw, is he bisexual or what? Don't answer, it's not my business.) Factual or comprehensional issues, in your style: • 99.47% → in the aspect of those genes that identify a person, not a species. Even identical twins have a slightly different DNA (google it, environment alters their DNA). That 'IdentiScan' function is for identifying a PERSON, not the species. Comprehension. • considering a new-born baby as a curse - who just appeared in front of the God and the corpse/remains of the Evil in a restricted and sacred area where only the Matriarchs are allowed to enter? In a backward tribal society, similar to the native Americans? Really, it is strange? 🤦‍♂ Cultural comprehension. • You have a PC. Yeah, consoles have purpose. To avoid the need of optimizing a game for 500 permutations of CPUs and GPUs. • When we want to rush the story, now there's Story Mode for. Dealing with an open-world game on higher difficulties with an underdeveloped and underequipped character? Yeah, sure, what could go wrong. (All of that you experienced, those could go wrong.) Not to mention entirely skipping tactics, strategies. I hope you in your real life don't do that. Health insurance is dirty expensive in the US. (Condolences for that, btw.) • The best! 😂 Truly, it deserves a big laugh! You _actually_ SAY in the video that you don't bother to talk with main NPCs. THEN 😂 Wait! THEN seconds later, you don't understand what's with Sylens and HADES. You know. Sylens TOLD their story. Why bothering to listen it, yeah… 🤦‍♂ It's like watching a movie with skipping minutes of it. Promise me one thing, and I will subscribe (I won't, just kidding): make similar bullshiʇ videos about movies like, anything: Back to The Future, Matrix, Star Wars etc.

[@leaptriesit]

As far as I know she is straight but I fear Aloy has the power to change that 😆 Got to admit, I'm impressed someone took the time to really analyze every detail of the video. For that, I thank you for taking the time out of your day for my sake. I think everything you said was well waranted. I'm not a guy who cares for plot, as you could surmise from how quickly I glossed over everything, so I take full responsibility for missing stuff, I'm just here to shoot funny metal dinosaurs with bows. As far as your request for movies, I will consider it. I gotta earn me that subscription, dont I? Have a great day Merion!

now play horizon forbidden west

[@leaptriesit]

I plan to when it comes to PC!

[@Ricardo29j]

@@leaptriesit I don't think your PC would be able to run the next game Forbidden West, and I don't think mine can either. Despite having an RTX 2060 with an 8th gen i7 and SSD, I never had any issues running the first game Horizon Zero Dawn. However, I would recommend getting a PS5 for the best gaming experience, as the lack of VRAM on Nvidia cards is becoming increasingly problematic. For instance, Resident Evil 7 and The Last of Us Part 1 are games that require more VRAM, and running them on a PC with insufficient VRAM could lead to crashes or slow performance.

[@leaptriesit]

@@Ricardo29j Aw dang that's rough. Well, I don't plan on getting a PS5, so we'll just have to see when it comes out. Thanks for the warning though. Hope you enjoyed :)

[@Ricardo29j]

​@@leaptriesit The PS5 offers a cost-effective and easy way to enjoy high-quality gaming that can outperform many high-end PCs at a price point of only $399. With its optimized hardware and exclusive game titles, the PS5 provides an immersive and smooth gaming experience that's hard to match. Recent videos of Horizon Forbidden West showcase its stunning graphics that would be difficult to achieve on mid-range graphics cards like the 4070 due to VRAM bottlenecking. While PCs can offer more customization options, building a high-end PC that can match the performance of the PS5 can come with a significantly higher price tag. Furthermore, there's news that AMD will be releasing new 16 GB graphics cards this summer, and I hope that this becomes the new standard for graphics cards going forward.

[@leaptriesit]

@@Ricardo29j Thanks for the advice
