Horizon Zero Dawn is a great game through and through so how could I not make a video on it appreciating the finer things, Hope you enjoy! P.S. Behind the scenes I've been working on a variety of new types of videos that I'll be bringing to the channel so expect them soon.👌
o Knightz o Two details not mentioned in the video: water actually flows. That is, if you drop something into the water, it will flow downstream. And in the DLC, you/animals/npc’s leave trials in the snow, which get slowly covered back over if its snowing.
Great vid brother! Just bought a pro with this game as a freebie and man I am lovin' it. the details, breath taking view and the game physics and all gives you that feeling that you're really in the game :D
I do. Like breathing, the light shining through the leafs, then "burning" light source (meaning if the sun shines in front of you and there is a tree, the sun is not like a disk but it "overshines" twigs e.g. like burning right through it). If you love this game, then you want to take you time investigating the depth of animation and simulation. I actually took a fair share of time just watching Aloy standing in a rainy and stormy weather conditioning and how she reacts to that.
@@mimarho Mate, you can love and appreciate this game even without doing that. I don't have an infinite amount of time so even games that i really enjoy get to a point where i'm like, "yeah let's just get on with playing already". Granted, that's why i miss a lot of details, but unless it detracts from the story or actual gameplay, i don't care.
I found the soundtrack on Spotify. The music is the reason why I got interested. I’d seen the picture on the case a few times, but those are usually better than the graphics in game, so I didn’t actually become interested until I heard that haunting music.
Anyone see the Sawtooth and go “aww, poor thing” then remember just how vicious those guys are edit. damn, 2 years before anyone noticed i can't spell for shit lol
Hunter241 me. When I played the game I felt an immediate connection to the metal beasts. The level of detail and precision put into each design and render had me captivated for months as I played and replayed, trying to find every secret.
HZD is easily one of the best games ever made, the map is so bright and beatiful, and every single part has its own animals, insects and machines. Can't wait for HFW
I really hate the snowy parts in the first section of the map in the game because of the red tint that clashes with the white snow. Everything else is beautiful
I remember climbing for the Banuk relic in the Embrace and realizing that the shadows were climbing up the mountain with me as the sun set. I normally don't care too much about visuals but I stopped playing for a bit to appreciate that 'cause it was freaking cool.
This is slowly becoming my favorite game of all time! I always say I would love to read a book of this story to go more in depth as it is really interesting. If you want to see a book or a movie of this game made, raise your hand!
Just a few other little details not listed on here, but you might be curious about or find helpful: 1: Birds can sometimes be seen flocking together through the air, from geese flying in a V formation, to hundreds of sparrows moving about like a rolling cloud (usually you'll find these in the desert). 2. Sometimes you can find ants carrying leaves climbing up the sides of trees. 3. There are portions of the map you can't reach/view without photo mode or performing serious feats of parkour, but are still insanely detailed. Some of these areas include the buildings and lower plateaus of Meridian - which you can't access naturally but can still reach via jumping off the support beams of the Great Elevator - and the Nora Naming Location seen in the games opening cutscene where Rost takes baby Aloy - sadly you cannot reach this area without the game reseting you for "Leaving the map", but you can still get close enough to view it with photo mode. (There are users on the HZD Reddit page who create photo albums of the various locations throughout the map and highlight the little details most overlook if you wanna check it out for yourself) 4. Glinthawks will pick up and carry off small machine carcasses (Watchers, Striders, etc.) before stripping them for parts. (Unrelated to the game fact - real life vultures do something similarly carry off carcasses and drop them from a large height to break the bones and extract the marrow inside) 5: Aloy WADES through snow, even when running; literally lifting her legs above the snow line to move through it. 6. Footprints left behind in snow will gradually fill up again if there is snowfall. 7: Aloy reacts to the weather/environment. A few of these instances were already pointed out in the video, but here's a couple others: when in the desert, Aloy is fatigued from the heat and will shield her face from the sun and sand-storms, and whilst in snow she will shiver from the cold, her breath will come out as white mist, and she'll even reach out to catch snowflakes as they fall. 8. People will criticise the outfits Aloy wears, and depending on what she's wearing and what location she's in makes the dialogue differ. E.g: If you wear the Carja Blazon armour in an Oseram settlement, people will remark how she's "as bright as a forge fire", or if you wear the Banuk Ice Hunter Outfit in Meridian, people will tell her they're "not intimidated my her savage look." 9. Overridden Sawtooths will stalk their prey. Provided you aren't spotted performing the override sequence, an Overridden Sawtooth will sneak up on unsuspecting enemy's before pouncing. 10. Despite being described as "Hunter Killers", Fireclaws and Frostclaws are not listed as Combat Type machines, rather they are Acquisition Types. Similar to Scrappers and Glinthawks, if there is a machine carcass nearby they will be drawn to it and begin to strip it for parts. 11. The Thunderjaw was the first machine designed for the game, going through several iterations before the final model was created. Each one has 271 animations, 93 destructible armour plates, 12 unique attacks, 67 visuals and 550,000 polygons. 12. Despite their descriptions labelling them as materials for Crafting or Trading, certain items harvested from animals and machines are only good for selling to merchants and have no other use, despite their descriptions saying otherwise. Broadhead, Ravager, Corruptor, and Deathbringer Hearts/Lenses, as well as Goose Bones, are only good for selling for shards, so don't hold on to them and let them take up space in your inventory! (weirdly, you can still purchase Ravager Hearts from the Machine Parts merchant in Meridian for a ridiculously high price)
@@kevmasengale6903 Cheers friend! Just trying to share the love and appreciation I have for the amount of detail that went into creating this brilliant game. The first time I played through it I got sidetracked so often just trying to explore everything it had to offer.
I'm late to the party but I've been falling in love with this game for 3 days straight days. It's all heart. Even the evil giant robots gets a lil cute when they are hurt and go on the run. Or when they get confused when taking a hit from far away. Aloy grown into a genius heartthrob! And this story has the exact world building/character growth like all the best graphic novel/comic book storytelling
I don't think I have ever seen more beautiful and majestic creatures in any other game. Horizon Zero Dawn really took it to the next level. From sound design to animation it's all absolutely amazing work.
let's just hope they steer clear of MT's loot boxkes and season passes. Full awesome games for a full price. If they are gonna do big content releases just charge a bigger price and include DLC with that price $80usd $100cdn I'd be totally fine with that
More staff combos and upgrades, tweak the inventory system a bit and let Aloy climb anything and you would have perfection. It is wonderful as it is though. For the next game I would love the ability to customise the appearance of the weapons and outfits and a few more rideable machines.
@@Pyrochazm I would love it if you could climb everything and that Aloy could put on the wall things to help her climb, and order to personnalise your own open world experience ^^
I love this game so much, one of the best new titles, if not the best, out there. I'm currently on new game + and last time I checked, got about 60-70 hours of game time. I just can't get enough of this masterpiece. GAIA.
LOL an open word game without any decent story, interresting characters or facial animations where your weapon breaks every 30 secs... i played it 2hours and throwed it away. Good Joke... go back to your 2005 Graphics... thats where the switch belongs to.
the Were Dragon you must be super young. Skyrim was just another open world game. All open world games are. The original Zelda, Grand Theft Auto 3 and Breath of the Wild are the only Open World games that impacted the genre. Please research before commenting. Thank you.
I love this game so much, that i spend the whole end credits time just thanking all the people involved in making of this masterpiece, while reminiscing all the memorable moments in my playthrough. Finishing of with a sigh and a quick flick of the joystick to the new game+.
Phenomenal game, I loved it! Spent around 135 hrs in it (inc DLC) and I only noticed a few of the more obvious details you listed here. Makes me want to double dip on the upcoming PC release and check it out again to see things I missed.
The main thing what makes anything perfect is details which a lot of people dont recognise at first, but they are what really creates amazing enviroment. If the game (or any other product) has lack of this it won't be looking as good as it meant to be, and Horizon Zero Dawn is a rare example of perfect quality just beacuse of many little details. I'm sold to this game, one of my favorite.
I bought this game upon release and am FINALLY playing it now. Wow, what a masterpiece for real. This game is super impressive, I've put in at least 40 hours and only scratched about 50% of the game. It's like BOTW, ARKAM, UNCHARTED, MONSTER HUNTER and METAL GEAR SOLID had the next Messiah of gaming. Truly magnificent through and through.
I only got to play HZD now. And I'm kinda sure Aloy is a reskinned Wander from SOTC. The horse maneuvers are similar, and Ally's wimpy run looks exactly like Wanders too, the rotation on a steed is brought over too. Wander will rotate in a similar manner when you aim behind you while riding
Due to being bored of open worlds I sat on it, having picked up the complete edition a few months ago on Playstation UK for £12. Glad I finally caught up, it's been a phenomenal way to pass the covid 19 lockdown, the subtle details are off the scale. The canyon/valley echoes especially. Ohh there's an additional rain reaction in tropical jungle storms, Aloy looks up and washes her face and makes an "eeeigghh" sound.
Most definitely one of the most immersive and living game world I've ever experienced. Graphics, animations, all the little details, facial animations, dialogue, voice acting, characters, world building, architecture, clothing design, art design and conception in general, sound design as well as the soundtrack all 10/10. Now the story itself goes even beyond 10/10 in believability and uniqueness. Gameplay would be at maybe 7/10 in my opinion (I'm used to the sharp controls of Soulsborne, sue me). Now this begs the question: why is this game so easy to miss? I just recently heard about it. Why is nobody talking about this piece of art? It's not like it's underrated. Those who played it, praise it in high regards. What's the matter?
I wouldn't expect character states and vfx to be in such a list. That being said there were indeed some nice details I didn't pay attention to during gameplay. Sawtooths aren't the only ones to limp. In fact most robots have their own "hurt" states with different animations.
This game has one of the best storylines i have played. Love the map which is huge and beautiful. Gonna have to play it through again soon. Just for the story :)
You ever play a game so good that you're almost afraid to play it again because you know you'll never be blown away like you were the first time? Like that first experience was so incredible that even replaying the same game somehow won't kick your ass quite as hard? That's HZD.
They're all amazing points. But to expand on the 'workers' one, anyone that's moving about can be followed. I absolutely LOVE the detail in this game. :)
Played God of war and was blown away. Just started horizon and my jaw dropped and I dribbled. I have a laptop with gtx 1060 and thought hold on a second this is a £349 Console and it's like the best I've seen to date absolutely incredible presentation and mind boggling graphics. Before everyone starts giving me crap, play horizon zero dawn on a ps4 Pro on a 4k TV and you'll be like yer I get it!!
notice most of it, on first playthrough. i felt this game is really more alive than any other games i've played. it is itching to see its sequel wont come out to PC... Damn, i like this girl very much
Every one who likes this game needs to try it out on pc or the new ps5 update. Its not native 4k, its checkerboarded, on ps5 but man it looks better than any other 4k game ive played on ps5. The hdr could use a bit of improvement but its not bad. All these details really shine at a higher resolution and framerate. I cant wait for the sequel. I hope they do a performance mode that aims for 2k 60fps.

Most of the time, I don't bother with the ropecaster. I don't need it for smaller machines, and bigger machines take way too many ropes and break out too quickly most of the time, like shown with the Snapmaw here. Might as well just keep dodging and shooting weapons that actually damage enemies. Now that I've thought about it though, I might try to use the ropecaster on a human later to see what happens.
People compare this against Breath of the Wild. This game is so much better, it's ridiculous. Granted, BotW is a great game too, this is just better. The world looks better, more immersive. The open-ness is not so much, where its overwhelming or huge patches of nothing like BotW. Combat, inventory management, it's all better. And your weapon doesn't break every 5 minutes.
HZD feels alive, Aloy actually feels like she lives and breaths in the world and it’s so amazing to me how different this game feels compared to others. Sure it’s not perfect but it’s damn close.
@@_nom_ Well it IS a console game first and foremost. Though the PC port (now that its stable) is pretty good and other than a few quirks the controls are pretty intuitive. I'm not entirely sure what you mean about terrible movement mechanics, I've been playing games practically my whole life and it's pretty comparable to other games I've played.
It's without doubt, one of the most lovely open worlds in video games. It's beautiful and vast, yet; feels a little bit empty and gives you that "I'm alone in the world" feeling. Hope that for "Forbidden West" they improve the NPC quest and interaction, more side activities and things to do. A little more like RDR2. But still, I still enjoy HZD
yeah they did a great job withthis gam ethe PC version looks gorgeous too. Played i tfor the firsttime last month after finall ygetting around to it. I as yfinall ybecause I got the gam eas soon as i tcam eto PC bu tput i ton hold because life was taking precedence at that time. Onl ycriticism I have with this game is it's save system becaus eonl ybeing able to save a tcampfires does make diong tasks lik ethe cauldrons a little tricky. Outside of that I find very little wrong with the game it's pretty near perfect. I liked th eday/night cycles an the weather systems. For exampl esimulatin gwind in games is no teasy wit hbot hhai rand clot hphysics but I htink they nailed it really well as I liked how Aloy's hair moved and her outfits as well especialy the Carja silks ones. Ver ywell don Guerilla very well done.
Aloy's animation is one of the best in this generation, i especially love her running cycle animation, noticed that she always sway a bit to the left and right while running straight.
Its all about how immersive it is. It feels like its real. The world and characters reacts with such incredibly credible ways that makes us feel "In it" literally.
Did you guys know that the background characters will speak about Aloy and we can hear it when we pass by. Like 'That Nora girl helped the Sun King to defeat Dervhal'. As the story progresses the character will speak of her more recent victories. I think that's an amazing detail.
@@jess5299 yeah but im pretty sure that one is mentioning Talanah. but yeah, the point still stands. In the Frozen Wilds expansion, some Banuk people talk among them about how Aloy is the new Banuk Chieftain that was an outlander. pretty nice details, if you ask me
I also discovered that if you stand in the tall red grass (emphasis on the word stand), after about fifteen seconds, Aloy starts swinging her hands back and forth through the tops of the grass, as if feeling it run through her fingers. I thought that was cute. ☺️
Also when walking through long grass she does the ‘gladiator’ thing, stroking it with outstretched fingers. Aloy is the most alive and engaging character I’ve ever played in any game.
Lefika Ramoatlhodi Not really. It straight up rips crafting mechanic from Far Cry and ledge climbing from games like Uncharted. Not exactly the most original. The robotic wildlife is pretty original though and is it's main selling point.
Horizon Zero Dawn is a great game through and through so how could I not make a video on it appreciating the finer things, Hope you enjoy!

+Orphan Tulip It comes in handy if you're getting charged at but I'm the same I spend most of my time rolling out the way.
At the begining, im like that too. But now i can play at very hard dificulty
At first too but its an essential strategy to not get mauled in the process
I intend on trying that against a fireclaw. I’ve been looking for an edge against those damn monsters since FW introduced them.

HZD has the most detail I’ve ever seen in a console game.
Rdr 2
Rockstar games have more detail tbh
I bought this game upon release and am FINALLY playing it now. Wow, what a masterpiece for real. This game is super impressive, I've put in at least 40 hours and only scratched about 50% of the game. It's like BOTW, ARKAM, UNCHARTED, MONSTER HUNTER and METAL GEAR SOLID had the next Messiah of gaming. Truly magnificent through and through.
I only got to play HZD now. And I'm kinda sure Aloy is a reskinned Wander from SOTC. The horse maneuvers are similar, and Ally's wimpy run looks exactly like Wanders too, the rotation on a steed is brought over too. Wander will rotate in a similar manner when you aim behind you while riding
Due to being bored of open worlds I sat on it, having picked up the complete edition a few months ago on Playstation UK for £12. Glad I finally caught up, it's been a phenomenal way to pass the covid 19 lockdown, the subtle details are off the scale. The canyon/valley echoes especially. Ohh there's an additional rain reaction in tropical jungle storms, Aloy looks up and washes her face and makes an "eeeigghh" sound.
Very good tip on temporarily immobilising machines, shooting their legs. I must try that.
Wonder, if it works on larger machines as well.
Always nice to find out these nice touches. Thanks for the video!
Gaia! Thanks for sharing those amazing details with us. I’ve noticed some but not the whole of them. I was pretty impressed by the workers ^^
the game is a beauty both gameplay and graphic wise, one of the finer ones of these days
Most definitely one of the most immersive and living game world I've ever experienced. Graphics, animations, all the little details, facial animations, dialogue, voice acting, characters, world building, architecture, clothing design, art design and conception in general, sound design as well as the soundtrack all 10/10. Now the story itself goes even beyond 10/10 in believability and uniqueness. Gameplay would be at maybe 7/10 in my opinion (I'm used to the sharp controls of Soulsborne, sue me).
Now this begs the question: why is this game so easy to miss? I just recently heard about it. Why is nobody talking about this piece of art? It's not like it's underrated. Those who played it, praise it in high regards. What's the matter?
As someone who just recently switched from PS3 to a PS4 pro with HZD, everything is mind-blowing
Playing this now for the 2nd time. Even better. Wow. Guerilla Games are outstanding🥇
Awesome vid as usual. I haven’t played this game(planning to buy a PS4 for it) yet lol
+bon3s 24 Thanks and yeah this game along with Uncharted and The Last of us make a PS4 really worth the purchase.
Everyone gangsta until Sawtooth turns into SIF xDD
I wouldn't expect character states and vfx to be in such a list. That being said there were indeed some nice details I didn't pay attention to during gameplay.
Sawtooths aren't the only ones to limp. In fact most robots have their own "hurt" states with different animations.
I cannot wait for Forbidden West. This 1st entry was amazing and a delight to play.
I just wish they go into that much detail in the second part, one of the most underrated games ever
That Sabertooth took an arrow in the knee
Still playing this game. Ever Green.

Best game of my life
Todd:You've seen nothing yet.Our newest game has SIXTEEN TIMES THE DETAIL!
Up to date the best PS4 game I have ever played, I so love Aloy
Only started this game 10 days ago, it’s a pure masterpiece of gaming (Xbox user who’s girlfriend bought a PS4)… we both absolutely love this game
This game has one of the best storylines i have played. Love the map which is huge and beautiful. Gonna have to play it through again soon. Just for the story :)
oh god, i love this game and appreciate it more than my life.
You ever play a game so good that you're almost afraid to play it again because you know you'll never be blown away like you were the first time? Like that first experience was so incredible that even replaying the same game somehow won't kick your ass quite as hard?
That's HZD.
Well the first time I played Hzd I loved the story and actually did not care about the combat but the second time is when the combat clicked for me
god i love this game so much, really wish i could replay it for the first time to experience it brand new all over again
These small details are making a game even better :D
Gaia
They're all amazing points. But to expand on the 'workers' one, anyone that's moving about can be followed.
I absolutely LOVE the detail in this game. :)
Played God of war and was blown away. Just started horizon and my jaw dropped and I dribbled. I have a laptop with gtx 1060 and thought hold on a second this is a £349 Console and it's like the best I've seen to date absolutely incredible presentation and mind boggling graphics. Before everyone starts giving me crap, play horizon zero dawn on a ps4 Pro on a 4k TV and you'll be like yer I get it!!
notice most of it, on first playthrough.
i felt this game is really more alive than any other games i've played.
it is itching to see its sequel wont come out to PC...
Damn, i like this girl very much
Just bought this game 2 weeks ago and I'm loving every second of it ^^
Every one who likes this game needs to try it out on pc or the new ps5 update. Its not native 4k, its checkerboarded, on ps5 but man it looks better than any other 4k game ive played on ps5. The hdr could use a bit of improvement but its not bad.
All these details really shine at a higher resolution and framerate. I cant wait for the sequel. I hope they do a performance mode that aims for 2k 60fps.
This man watched a puddle dry up for us
The arrows also get influence by wind

Music in Main menu is amazing aswell

Those workers have nothing on Cyberpunk.
This is one of my all time favorite games.
OMG, crocodile death roll! They do learnd a lot from real animals.
GAIA
Also, I love it when you activate the focus and the sound goes to your controller.
Also, when you get screamed by a longleg aloy blocks her ear.
Imagine if this kind of shit is what Todd Howard meant when he said "sixteen times the detail".
6:46 when I first met the stalker machine
Most of the time, I don't bother with the ropecaster. I don't need it for smaller machines, and bigger machines take way too many ropes and break out too quickly most of the time, like shown with the Snapmaw here. Might as well just keep dodging and shooting weapons that actually damage enemies. Now that I've thought about it though, I might try to use the ropecaster on a human later to see what happens.
Love this game and the sound track, Gaia
Beautiful details. Just finished the game last week
Gaia. I've Been playing 113 hours , Horizon Zero Dawn its just to perfect
This video made me realize just how jaded I am to video games.
My favourite detail was definitely the water physics
Am I the only one here that spent more than 30hours in the game and never used the ropecaster???
the first time i noticed aloy try to catch her breath after running i felt bad and only made her run like that if we had an emergency.
2022 and still playing it.
1:32 Crysis back in 2007
0:37 and BMW logo too
00:38 - Didn't knew BMW made the machines that ruled the world
I remember when I started this game and does to a watcher. Good times.
People compare this against Breath of the Wild. This game is so much better, it's ridiculous. Granted, BotW is a great game too, this is just better. The world looks better, more immersive. The open-ness is not so much, where its overwhelming or huge patches of nothing like BotW. Combat, inventory management, it's all better. And your weapon doesn't break every 5 minutes.
HZD feels alive, Aloy actually feels like she lives and breaths in the world and it’s so amazing to me how different this game feels compared to others. Sure it’s not perfect but it’s damn close.
Its more than perfect
its PERFECT
It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. It still feels like a console game. With terrible movement mechanics
@@_nom_ Well it IS a console game first and foremost. Though the PC port (now that its stable) is pretty good and other than a few quirks the controls are pretty intuitive. I'm not entirely sure what you mean about terrible movement mechanics, I've been playing games practically my whole life and it's pretty comparable to other games I've played.
It's without doubt, one of the most lovely open worlds in video games. It's beautiful and vast, yet; feels a little bit empty and gives you that "I'm alone in the world" feeling. Hope that for "Forbidden West" they improve the NPC quest and interaction, more side activities and things to do. A little more like RDR2. But still, I still enjoy HZD
Thank you for not adding “you didn’t notice” in the title
So far this is the only comment in this video that I left a like for, shows just how fucked up YT contents creators are😂
@@artiompostnikov6026 What's the problem? you're too sensitive
@@leonardofarias8843 are you stupid?
I wouldnt have clicked if it did
@@duskjohnson8195 Same. I noticed at least 2743/5486 of these. Work the math out and you have earned the right to play the new release.
Forgot the most amazing detail of all, freaking ANTS climbing a tree while carrying leafs.
:O
Leafs
i saw the ants and i was like WHOA!!
Not as detailed but still surprising to find: the game has destructible environments. This isn't common in these type of games
The major problem is WHY THE ANTS ARE BRING THE LEAVES DOWN AGAIN!!??
at somepoint a game isnt just about playing anymore. Its art.
yeah they did a great job withthis gam ethe PC version looks gorgeous too. Played i tfor the firsttime last month after finall ygetting around to it. I as yfinall ybecause I got the gam eas soon as i tcam eto PC bu tput i ton hold because life was taking precedence at that time. Onl ycriticism I have with this game is it's save system becaus eonl ybeing able to save a tcampfires does make diong tasks lik ethe cauldrons a little tricky. Outside of that I find very little wrong with the game it's pretty near perfect. I liked th eday/night cycles an the weather systems. For exampl esimulatin gwind in games is no teasy wit hbot hhai rand clot hphysics but I htink they nailed it really well as I liked how Aloy's hair moved and her outfits as well especialy the Carja silks ones. Ver ywell don Guerilla very well done.
Just like witcher 3
Red dead redemption 2 is 1000000000% better.. I really enjoy zero dawn, but red dead redemption 2 hits different, play it and you will see
@@Alfredof2342😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@arthurmorgan5444?
Aloy: "Don't look down..."
- Instantly flicks the right stick down -
Aloy: "Damn it..."
Ivan Soedjono does she actually say if you look down, i never thought to try with that section
@@mattpkc34xx yeah she actually does!
thats great, this game is great
Yea noticed this
YES
It’s pretty cool too whenever you loot machines, the components you take disappear from the machines.
I've never noticed that!!
I would use the harvest arrows to manually shoot off the components to get more when I need resources
@@cringe4947 yeah, I managed to strike out heavy guns from dead machines
@@MaxTsyba wait what?you mean you would get more shards from shooting the machines guns?also if I’m wrong sorry I haven’t played in a long time
@@cringe4947 no, I mean when you killed machine which had some heavy gun, you could detach it from corpse by hitting it
Aloy's animation is one of the best in this generation, i especially love her running cycle animation, noticed that she always sway a bit to the left and right while running straight.
Henry Rahardja Omg yes. And she always skids a little after a long sprint.
Exactly. One of the characters that I loved when running.
My favourite running animation of all time is ac3
Her character model detail is amazing too. But also the NPCs!
@@lordofscience2370 ac3?
It's all those "little" details that you unconsciously register while playing, which makes it such an incredible experience.
Its all about how immersive it is. It feels like its real. The world and characters reacts with such incredibly credible ways that makes us feel "In it" literally.
Whenever I saw a insane detail I always say "Man, look at that detail! They actually tried their best"
Did you guys know that the background characters will speak about Aloy and we can hear it when we pass by. Like 'That Nora girl helped the Sun King to defeat Dervhal'. As the story progresses the character will speak of her more recent victories. I think that's an amazing detail.
i have started to realize that when i finished the side quest of hunting Redmaw, people in Meridian's hunting lodge began to talk about her
@@kevinmulia6503 they also usually say something like “a woman now leads the hunters lodge” haha
@@jess5299 yeah but im pretty sure that one is mentioning Talanah. but yeah, the point still stands. In the Frozen Wilds expansion, some Banuk people talk among them about how Aloy is the new Banuk Chieftain that was an outlander. pretty nice details, if you ask me
@@kevinmulia6503 i know, i was just trying to point out that this happens as the story continues :)
"Is she ridging the machine ?!"
I also discovered that if you stand in the tall red grass (emphasis on the word stand), after about fifteen seconds, Aloy starts swinging her hands back and forth through the tops of the grass, as if feeling it run through her fingers. I thought that was cute. ☺️
That is a nice detail 🙂
And if you are crouched in the tall grass for long enough without moving, she just sits in it ^^
Also when walking through long grass she does the ‘gladiator’ thing, stroking it with outstretched fingers.
Aloy is the most alive and engaging character I’ve ever played in any game.
This game is the definition of originality and quality
GAIA
+Lefika Ramoatlhodi I agree and thanks for watching!
Lefika Ramoatlhodi
Not really. It straight up rips crafting mechanic from Far Cry and ledge climbing from games like Uncharted. Not exactly the most original. The robotic wildlife is pretty original though and is it's main selling point.
Bro I'm talking about the setting not gameplay mechanics
Gamer Singer and what else , running from super Mario ??
Lefika Ramoatlhodi
It's setting is pretty typical actually for a steampunk style fantasy game. Or Post-apocalyptic? So still not that original.
