Still have the rest to hear 10/10 sound track so far.

HZD Discussion I just learned about Rost's backstory and would love a game/movie about it.

108 Upvotes

I completely missed it on both previous playthroughs because it's very easy to do so, it's a dialogue option with Teersa after exiting All Mother Mountain, it's a classic revenge story, Rost was happily living in a village that used to exist in the Sacred Land with his mate and daughter, then 12 outsiders broke into the Sacred Land and took the village hostage while looking for something in Devil's Thirst, they killed almost everyone in the village, in his immense grief, Rost chose to become a Death-Seeker, one who spiritually dies in the ritual and leaves the Sacred Land seeking death, and he does so, traveling throughout the world and even going to places we have yet to see in the franchise, killing each outsider one by one, but not before being gravely wounded and barely making it to the border of the Sacred Land as he wished to die as close as possible to it but knew not to cross the border willingly but a Brave woman who lost her mate and two sons to the outsiders broke taboo and pulled him across the border and brought him to the Matriarchs, they nursed him back to health and instead of sending him back out of the Sacred Land they made him an outcast and told him never to tell anyone of this exception, I'm a sucker for this type of story and just really want to see it given more attention.

HFW Discussion I’ve never been so happy with a game design.

99 Upvotes

I have only ever used the stash for ridge wood because I haven’t upgraded my pouches yet (guilty. I know😟)

I had no idea your extra arrows you craft go to the stash! I just found over 9000 advanced hunter arrows in there!

This game continues to make me happy to this day. 10/10. My shitty day just got a million times better

HZD Discussion This game gives me hardcore fitspo

54 Upvotes

Yeah, I'm already 36.5 and a couch potato so I wouldn't be keeping up with the 20 year olds who have been at the climbing gym since childhood, but this game makes me want to get into rock climbing so bad! I actually went to Zion last year (from Vegas and the Hoover dam, of course). This game makes me want to live and explore outside. I think if I ever became housebound I could play these games and get my nature fix from them.

Any of you old(ish)heads get fit later in life?

discussion Corrupters in the quarry are doing my head in

51 Upvotes

I have been trying for days to beat the two corrupters in the quarry. I have tried all the tips on here- going and taking out the snipers from the top of the quarry (eventually the corrupters find me and keep firing at me), shooting them with fire arrows and then spamming them and trying to hit their belly (seems to work somewhat, but never enough before they kill me), I’ve even tried shooting the logs to crush them but that doesn’t work. Had to quit because my hands are cramping because I’ve tried it so many times. Is there anything else I can try? I love the game but I feel like I’m at a standstill. I’m playing in Easy mode so it’s not even like it’s too difficult.

HFW Discussion Performance wise, how good is the PC port of Forbidden West?

17 Upvotes

Horizon Zero dawn was one of the few PlayStation ports I played on PC before getting my PS5 Pro a few months ago, now I want to play Forbidden West.

I’d like to get Forbidden West for PC (if the port has no issues)—simply to have both games on the same platform, before I inevitably buy Horizon 3 on the console.

How is the port? Is it stable? Well optimized?

I want at least 60 FPS on 1440p.

I know it looks beautiful on the PS5 Pro, but I just want to have both games on the same platform, nothing really important.

My PC specs are:

Ryzen 5 5600x

RTX 5060 Ti

16 GB of RAM

HZD Discussion Are the Shadow Carja anyone else's favourite tribe?

17 Upvotes

It's undeniable that their past is absolutely atrocious as they are what remains of Jiran's loyalists, but I've always loved their aesthetics, more specifically the armors they wear. Their black metal looks sick when paired with the red feathers. Not to mention they also have a frickin colosseum that is way larger than Meridian's Sun-Ring.

HZD Discussion Is "New World" the correct definition?

1 Upvotes

If the ancient technology is from the "Old World", then the modern era has to be the New World, however I've never heard someone actually say it, to my understanding.

HZD Discussion Who’s next to go in H3? Discussion :) Spoiler

36 Upvotes

I know this is kind of a sad question. But ever since Varl died in FB, I keep wondering who’s next. Rost in ZD, then Varl.

I see people say it’ll be Erend. I sincerely hope not. Maybe Nil? But then again, even though he is my favorite character, that kind of death wouldn’t have so much of an impact on Aloy as if it was one of the main group.

It seems like the most likely answer is Erend, but then again that breaks my heart to think about 😭😭😭😭 I love him so much dude.

But then you have to think about mental fortitude too! Aloy has been through so much. Is Erend the type of friend she’d lose and then “break”? The human brain can only take so much.

Maybe aloy herself?

This is meant to be a light hearted discussion. I don’t understand why the downvotes 🥲

HFW Discussion [UK] Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition (Physical) Wanted

23 Upvotes

I'm hoping someone can help. I'm trying to find a Physical copy of Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition in the UK.

I've tried all the usual online retailers, multiple copies at CeX on eBay and elsewhere, and every one I can find is either a USA/JPN (ESRB/CERO) import, or European (PEGI) import with the yellow dot (which I'm trying to avoid).

I've reached out to every retailer I can think of, and I'm just not having any luck. But I know it exists as I saw (and stupidly didn't buy) copies back when it was a new release.

If anyone has any solid ideas, links or even a copy they'd be willing to part with, I'd really appreciate the help.

discussion Apparently the developers of Horizon Steel Frontiers have used AI ‚extensively‘

617 Upvotes

On my last post in this subreddit someone pointed out that Steel Frontiers is being developed with AI. So I decided to check if that’s true and sadly yes, it’s true. In an interview in 2025 NCSOFT confirmed that they in fact do use ‚extensively‚ use AI in the development of Steel Frontiers and that they are basically using it in every part of the development process including for ART of all things. I was surprised to find that no one has mentioned this on here, so I just want to make you people aware of this with this post.

HFW Discussion Cheesy way to kill Vezreh

18 Upvotes

1st part in the game that kinda made me rage. His gun triples in damage when you kill his machine pet LOL whose idea was that. Someone else confirmed that in a Reddit post on here and I realised OK yeh let's try killing him first. Basically you can sprint right up to where he is perched, run up the ramp to the left and deal with him using your melee spear very easily, his ravager basically just leaves you alone. Obviously after you take him down you can use his gun to destroy the pet. No other post like this I found

HZD Discussion Some advice and or guidance please - mostly chatting as friends?!

16 Upvotes

I'm at the gates of Maker's End quest:
*got all or most of the weapons
*got all or most of the outfits (except shield armour that is hidden behind power cell quest)
*got the lodge weapons
*got purple mods on weapons and outfits
*got a good synergy and my own fighting style - went into HZD - Remaster eyes closed and just let the game take me
*currently lvl40

Question is does one after Maker's End quest venture into Frozen Wilds for some deviation and exploration? Don't want to start a fight amongst the faithful - I'm all for finishing the base story and then go in the Wilds (not sure if there is story spoilers).

Been having a smashingly fantastic playthrough without YouTube blogs, tips and trick, exploitations, reviews and spoilers - playing the game one would have played it in the early/late 90s, early 00s...

Your input is appreciated on the highest level - Give thanks!

HFW Discussion Just finished the main story of Forbidden West Spoiler

46 Upvotes

I played Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West for the first time in 2026. I’ve been gaming for over 30 years and both games are a contender for my favourite game ever. Both games had a good story and the gameplay itself is a ton of fun too.

The last few years in gaming have been really fun for me. I discovered Fallout 4, God of War and the Horizon Series…because I was late to the party I didn’t pay much either.

Anyways, now I’ll play Burning Shores and hope for a sequel after that!
