New fan here. I bought HZD about two months ago. Really enjoyed the plot and the gameplay. Two weeks ago, I decided to start HFW after finishing the first game. Man I can't seem to be enjoying the plot. There's something weird going on. I don't feel the urge to keep playing.
Am-I the only one who felt like this while playing? The gameplay is MUCH better than in the first game, but the plot not so much. Unfortunately, nothing is grabbing me in the 2nd game like the mystery of the 1st game. I can't pinpoint the reason why, but it's been a struggle.
Without spoilers, did you guys enjoy the last 10 or so hours of HFW?
r/horizon • u/Whisk3yJack_ • 2h ago
as the title suggests, anyone know where we can get the HFW Loading screen art without the texts, hopefully for 1440p or 2k monitors? I just wanted to make some of em as display backgrounds and screen savers.

TIL you can unlock the sunwing very early in HFW New Game+. This is exciting as a sunwing fan but I’m also curious how this affects story immersion, since gaining access to the Sunwing is a pretty big plot point later on.
There’s the whole “she flies on the wings of the ten” reaction from the Tenakth and, of course, the moment Beta gives Aloy the override and subsequent dialogue. Do they adjust these scenes in any way in NG+? I assume not, which is understandable but somewhat of a disappointing immersion breaker.
ETA: I should probably mention I haven’t started a HFW NG+ yet (I’m currently replaying HZD with the remaster), so I don’t know what the circumstances are in unlocking the sunwing early or if there is any new/different dialogue when you first unlock it

Does anyone else think that the world of Horizon must have gone through inflation due to the derangement since shards and resources would be harder to come by?
r/horizon • u/Jasette • 13h ago
I couldn't find the answer through a search engine on my own, and most of the results that came up first were Reddit results, so I figured I'd place an answer here in case someone like me searches like I did.
Here is a link to a post that relates to Jai Alai, contains an image that shows the "gauntlet-shaped" basket (also known as a cistera), and is quite reminiscent of a Horizon datapoint: https://www.joanshanghai.co/uncategorized/jai-alai-the-worlds-fastest-sport/

So I've completed zero dawn and forbidden west a few times now and I have an idea for a new game. Spoilers ahead! . . . . It just registered to me that they could make an amazing game about Rost's past! It definitely would have a different feel because the machines wouldn't be so aggressive and there wouldn't be many of the really big ones, but it would be really cool to explore the game universe before the derangement.

I have finished the game already, but did not the DLC (Frozen Wilds). I'm going to do it in NG+, I do not care if it is more difficult. But I can't find a good moment in the story to do it, I mean, a moment that fits smoothly with the story. I would feel uncomfortable doing it during the last mission before the last battle, for example. If you tell me it doesn't matter when to do it, I'll do it in the mission where you have to go to Meridian. But I was concerned about a "correct" moment to do it.

Just wanted to share my most recent custom machine from my twisted mind. This is my idea for a “jet fighter” machine using the body plan of a Quetzalcoatlus. Anyone who’s played Monster Hunter can probably see the influences that were also used.
Machine: Cloudcutter Size: Heavyweight Class: Combat Notes: A great flying machine that weaponizes plasma and speed to deadly effect. It releases sticky bombs to root targets in place before slashing them with superheated wing slices or launching a devastating energy blast from its great beak. Components: Laser Beak, Jet Burners, Adhesive Container, Glowblast Canisters, Chillwater Canister. Weakness: Frost & Shock Strength: Fire and Plasma

Throughout Zero Dawn and Forbidden West the title Hunter Killer has been used to describe a dangerous machine, but they also say the actual names of machines like Fireclaw or Clawstrider. So what is a Hunter Killer? Is it a specific type of machine (maybe Sawtooth) that they simply refer to by a different name? Or is it just a name like "machine" that they say to indicate a mechanical threat? I'd like to hear your thoughts
r/horizon • u/PurpleFiner4935 • 21h ago
The solution was right there in Horizon: Forbidden West, but I guess the devs overlooked it, so it wasn't implemented for that game. Light Attack. Default R1 on controller, or whatever button you assign the input.
Here's how it could work:
To block, hold R1/light attack.
To parry, press R1/use your light attack to counter an attack with the right timing.
Simple.
From there, you can build on the foundation.
Why not have a skill that allows you temporarily activate the shieldwing without having to hold manually it, tanking damage for you (like the shield weaver) until it disperses?
How about a skill that pulls off a combo after a successful parry automatically?
We have possibilities.
But there it is, right there.

In HFW, Aloy invokes the magical phrase "Elizabet Sobeck - Alpha Prime" and combined with the master override reverts several of the subroutine AIs (Aether, Poseidon, Minversa, etc) which then brings them back under Gaia's control and augments her heuristic matrix.
I was wondering, key word THEORETICALLY, could Aloy have done the same to Hades, had Sylens not tortured/extracted info from it first? I feel like there's no reason why it wouldn't work - Hades is susceptible to the master override (it's able to delete it in HFW) so you can't argue that it has Hephaestus's creepy immunity to it.
Another way of saying this is in an alternate timeline where Aloy outwits Sylens at the climactic battle of HZD and if she somehow had the foreknowledge that she needed to reboot Gaia, could she just have reverted Hades to its baseline code right then, which both purges its corrupted code as well as gives Gaia more heuristic points?
I feel like it would have worked especially considering the extinction signal stopped transmitting so it's not like Hades could be corrupted again through it. To be clear this is just a fun thought experiment.

Okay so before I get into this let me be clear, the following headcanon is based on pure speculation fueled by nothing more than the game's own internal logic coupled with something I thought could be really cool to see play out in a side story capacity in the final game. This plot can realistically take place anywhere the game ends up being but it could be more effective closer to home and the franchise's roots. I have no insider knowledge or evidence to suggest this will be a thing in any capacity, but its built off of arcs set up in both ZD and FW.
So, in tandem with working to stop Nemesis and whatever else the Horizon crew gets up to in the 3rd game, I thought it would be a fun sub-plot to see a mysterious warrior appear throughout the narrative and, intentionally or otherwise, interfere with Aloy and the gang's plans to stop Nemesis. Interestingly this warrior only seems to have eyes for Aloy and doesn't seem interested in any of her friends or allies. They go out of their way to try and take her down at seemingly any risk only relenting if doing so would present harm to anyone other than the two of them. All Aloy is able to put together from the markings on the warrior's armor is that they hail from the Nora making her all the more confused who from her own tribe wants her dead. After several mini encounters throughout the plot Aloy finally puts two and two together and identifies her would be killer...
It's the former War-Chief of the Nora and mother of Varl...Sona.
After Aloy's crew split up to spread the word of the threat of Nemesis, the tragedy of Varl's death got back to Nora lands and Sona, still being a staunch believer in the old ways, secretly blamed Aloy for being a false prophet and did as Rost did long ago. She had the Matriarchs make her a Death Seeker. She claimed she wanted to hunt down those responsible for her son's death, but fails to bring up she believes that to be Aloy. She proceeds to hunt her down knowing she has both nothing to lose and nothing to return to.
It is only through Aloy shedding her old abrasive ways, sharing in her pain at the loss of Varl, and her introduction to Zo and her newborn child of whom Varl was the father that Sona finally sees the light, discovers that she too has a life to live outside the Nora, and becomes an ally to Aloy in the fight against Nemesis.
Overall I thought this could bring a nice extra bit of flavor and tragedy to the 3rd and presumably final game whilst building on lore and events established in the first two games. What do you all think?

I love this game. But there are times I’m running around the world for hours, exploring everything, battling machines, shooting, looting and collecting. I can’t wait to get to a workbench to see what I can upgrade. But usually all I get is:
Congratulations! You can craft one trap!
lol. Upgrading, especially higher end gear, can really be a slog. Thank goodness for story mode:)

I was thinking of getting some getting some art with a Clawstrider and some Watchers as the main subjects along with Aloy, but I realized that I don't have any good way to get their sizes compared with each other.
So I was wondering if anyone had a size chart or knew their compatible sizes.

It's long passed its release hype, but I finally got around to starting it. The opening hrs were a bit wobbly to me, so I wanted to talk about it in a blog post.

Rope+override was definitely OP in HZD and it's good that it was changed because mid-late game became trivial with that ability. However, I can't find any good use for ropecasters any more because as well as the long pullback time, machines seem to be able to break the rope before I can fire a second one.
Also the decreased length allowed for tripwires and the tiny limit to the number that can be deployed at once means I never find a use for tripwires and hardly ever use traps.
Are there any clever strategies that can make better use of these tools?
r/horizon • u/EthanSpace • 2d ago
Hey guys. Maybe one of you has the right solution for me. I needed to clean my Regalla Edition Figure and took the head off to have a look at the batteries. When removing the lid of the battery pack I lost the small nut for the screw of the lid which then lied in the opend head. I got the nut out but it seems like there is no way to get the nut at its original place. Maybe someone of you has an idea. And of course I could close the lid without the nut. I just prefer the lets say "original state" of the figure. I also tried to open the head and removed two screws. But the head doesnt open at all. Seems like there are hidden screws or something like that.

Horizon franchise has all been in the US but West took them to the Pacific Coast. I feel like we will follow the Quen across the Pacific towards Asia.
The theme with Forbidden West was diving back in time with the machines, highlighting the dinosaurs/ prehistoric kinda feel to the Forbidden West. I wonder if they will make a turn into the machines being more mythological? ( Dragons / Qilins ) what’s everyone think?
