THUNDERJAW VS STORMBIRD / Horizon Forbidden West

[@thetakasiguy7685]

Important note: This is part of the "burden of command" errand quest in which you have to take down the Thunderjaw to like 25% health for the Stormbird to arrive. Thus, there was no reason to do a round with the Stormbird being overriden (especially after watching how long this one was, lol). The Thunderjaw starting with lower health but then getting all the override boosts makes the fight pretty fair imo.

[@nextbigthingthebeastincarn7216]

Well Overriden Never Loses

[@nextbigthingthebeastincarn7216]

Do The Same With Stormbird, Make Its Health To 25% Then Override Stormbird And Make It Fight With 25% Health Thunderjaw, FAIR ENOUGH

Overriding a machine heals it if you don't know

[@waddleds665]

I think we need an update that allows machines to detect if the enemy is flying, so it uses more the distant attacks

[@Macrochenia]

The issue with that is it means that enemies will start swatting you off the Sunwing on a regular basis.

[@dydy972x4]

They already do, it's just in machine vs machine case, they detect me all the time when I'm flying compared to when a fight between to machines

[@waddleds665]

@@Macrochenia I mean, it can be THAT hard to get another one

[@jorgechavarria4799]

Even tho that it was a mod that came months ago, in Zero Dawn the Thunderjaws knew better how to kill flying machines

[@dydy972x4]

@@jorgechavarria4799 yeah they destroyed the stormbird every time

[@Ersultan234]

I wish they had some sort of scripted animations in battles between machines like in Far cry with animal battles

[@thetakasiguy7685]

I'm 50/50 on this. On one hand, I think that would have a lot of potential for some epic moments. On the other hand, I like the fact that we can just see the machines, as they are, using their weapons against each other. Definitely not a bad idea though

[@Ersultan234]

@@thetakasiguy7685 Yeah, I agree with you, would be cool if they managed somehow to make it a middle between scripted animations and how battles works now

[@jo0rd73]

Yeah or like monster Hunter world, was always sick to see two monsters randomly fighting each other.

[@lucasalejaga1175]

That would be nice, I like to see a npc war of hostile humans vs machines also :)

I think the ground machine vs air machine IA is broken

[@nextbigthingthebeastincarn7216]

Not In Zero Dawn, Could Be A Glitch

[@thetakasiguy7685]

I agree 100%, hopefully they fix it with a patch

[@dydy972x4]

Try with targeting arrow to see if that changes because most the time the ground machine does nothing despite having many ranged attacks

[@AP-wl3wf]

@@thetakasiguy7685 That's a real problem with overriden machines AI in HFW.

[@thetakasiguy7685]

@@AP-wl3wf It is and that's why It requires many takes to post a good video without the machines acting completely dumb. This one in particular took me at least 6-7 attempts and what you see is by a country mile the best version of this fight

[@hugosanchez4593]

Stormbird needs to stop doing that thing where it goes up into high altitude all the time. Freaking annoying. They could’ve given it more low altitude attacks instead of having it up there all the time.

[@dydy972x4]

For real it just goes and does nothing it doesn't even dive most of the time

[@yashsoni7614]

Fr bro that's why it's too annoying 😑

[@dydy972x4]

Hope they manage to fix because in ZD it wasn't that annoying

[@raymondherrera6301]

I think its because its intended to dive bomb human and not a machine tht exits the land zone at speeds greater than a charger

[@GeneralHAWXX]

Lol a bird’s greatest weapon is altitude and speed. Low altitude attacks will just make it easier to bring it down. It’s a massive hit box. 😂

[@Winter-The-Masquerade]

The fact that we have no way to have a ThunderJaw fight a SlaughterSpine in this game is a CRIME TO THE UNIVERSE!!! Edit: This was fixed in Burning Shores so All is Forgiven.

[@JimiJo]

Help! I’ve not been able to use health potions since like level 10 (currently level 44) my potions on the belt reed 0 I can’t craft as the game tells me my potion pouch is full I’ve over 100 health potions in my stash box go there and my health potions aren’t highlighted to transfer, am I doing something wrong? Anyone else suffering this issue? Even if I find them on a rebel corpse they go to my stash and not to my belt. Upgrade my pouch you might say, well yes I need squirrel hides, well I’ve been killing squirrels for days and I’m still 1 hide short! 😡😱😭

[@x.spinosaurus3951]

Is that actually possible in forbidden west?

[@thetakasiguy7685]

Look at my pinned comment

[@x.spinosaurus3951]

Ok I look at your pinned comment and I kinda understand.

[@nextbigthingthebeastincarn7216]

So What Is This Then ? 😂

[@CaptainPilipinas]

too bad modders have already exhausted that kind of sensationalism already back then. something guerrilla didn't care to do officially back in H1:ZD, but now in this sequel? and it is not even on free roam? even more disappointing.

[@brianegendorf2023]

Those battles weren't as hardcore as I was expecting. I've noticed the ai makes most of the creatures hang back a bit most of the time..until you upset it by doing major damage. It really makes for some boring fights.

[@CaptainPilipinas]

there are mod scenes back in H1:ZD videos that probably make it even better than guerrilla's half-hearted attempts like this.
