    If Nemesis has the consciousness of all the Zeniths. 🤔 I wonder if it would also have Tilda's love for Elisabet. I wouldn't be surprised if it was able to recognise Aloy.

      I hope so. The whole thing was about capturing haphestus and we lose him in the last scene. Like realism is cool but don’t make it a megaphone for my entire life, not today.

    • @helix19667
      @helix19667 2 роки тому +7

      Yeah, it's pretty clear that's the plan. Hephaestus is the perfect dlc villain that allows them to progress the story till nemesis shows up in the third game.

      I agree. Nemesis will the final big baddie in Horizon 3. Would love a DLC furthering the lore of AIs in the world of Horizon.

      The problem with this is the machines. You need Heph to even have machines attacking humans. But I guess they could substitute Nemesis and claim he "infects" the cauldron network or Gaia when it arrives at the beginning of 3.

    Nemesis: In ancient Greek religion, Nemesis, also called Rhamnousia or Rhamnusia (Ancient Greek: Ῥαμνουσία, romanized: Rhamnousía, lit. 'the goddess of Rhamnous'), is the goddess who enacts retribution against those who succumb to hubris, arrogance before the gods. - It very well may have originally called Nemesis, hubris or not :)

    Based on the ending with what Sylens was researching, the world’s dilapidated satellite system will likely be used provide early warning for Nemesis in the third game. Additionally, there may be other Zeniths on the Odyssey in orbit.

    • @lollyel943

      Didn't Tilda say there was only about 10 of them that made it off of Sirius? I haven't counted but at the end it did look like around 10 so I don't know if there would be any left up on their ship.

    Horizon lore keeps delivering chilling scenarios for their villains. Ted Faro is a believable egomaniac, the Zeniths are the height of arrogance, and Nemesis is a terrifying combination of all of them, a neglected AI insane with malevolence. Some of the best, most believable, most human characters ever. So impressed.

  • @Ori_Kohav

    Finished the game a few hours ago.
    I have a theory that Nemesis isn’t that all powerful as Sylens seemingly feared. Remember, the main reason it overpowered the Zeniths is because it had all the knowledge they had, giving it access to all the weaknesses they had, which is enough to eliminate their home on Sirius without being so god-like. I believe that would be one of the main factors to defeating Nemesis in the sequel.

    • @arsenalayres3736
      @arsenalayres3736 2 роки тому +2

      yeah i agree, gaia and the rest of earth have the advantage of home turf, and nemesis has no knowledge of this post-apocalyptic earth either because all of its knowledge would be from zenith members before they left a dying earth and maybe from what hades may have told it

  • @walidalhajj
    @walidalhajj 2 роки тому +10

    Great video and I enjoyed your story recap vids on Zero Dawn. Generally a very good game overall, but I wish they did not include Nemisis as part of the ending. Instead leave it in the post credit as a teaser to a looming threat to be explored and figured out in a DLC. Because now we are left asking, If the Zeniths were going to leave Earth anyway and not Terraform it then they could have left them a copy of Gaia and be done with it. Why fight over it?

    • @randyjax09
      @randyjax09 2 роки тому +1

    • @slevvio
      @slevvio 2 роки тому +3

      I think they needed Haephestus merged with GAIA, otherwise they wouldn't be able to build robots to terraform their new planet. The only way to merge cleanly is to use someone with Alpha clearance, so they waited until both Haephestus and a Sobeck clone were in the same place. They had to take Haephestus before GAIA was merged with it otherwise it would create floods of anti-Zenith machines. They could only force Beta to do the merge and not both her and Aloy, since only Beta has the necessary implants where they can access her mind, so they needed roughly 35 hours to achieve this. So it was much easier for them to kill the opposition, to leave them in peace to complete the merge.

    • @arsenalayres3736
      @arsenalayres3736 2 роки тому +3

      the zenith didnt think theyd have to fight anyone, for all they knew the moment they set foot on earth was that everyone around them was just some primitive tribesman or woman, they were under the impression itd be a quick in-and-out pick up of gaia
      that is - until they met with aloy in the hades proving lab, thats when things started to pick up

    Ben Elton's novel Stark also used the premise of "a bunch of rich bastards go off into space to escape the dying Earth". Rather prescient because this was years before anyone had even heard of Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk, let alone their space programs.
    Spoiler alert: it doesn't end well for them. At the close of the novel Elton says that while they could escape the pollution on Earth, they couldn't escape the pollution in their own souls. Looks like this was even more literally true for the Zeniths as a manifestation of their own darkness turns on them.

  • @RainAngel111
    @RainAngel111 2 роки тому +1

    Doesn't it seem a little odd that Nemesis is so interested in just destroying the Earth? As far as we know, it only wanted to destroy life on Earth to prevent the Zeniths from sheltering there.
    Now, all the Zeniths are dead, right? Nemesis is an AI, technically, but it's made up of digitized human minds. It obviously has some kind of emotions or why would it want revenge on the Zeniths?
    What I'm getting at is that solving the nemesis problem may be as simple as reasoning with it. Or just telling it in time that the Zen are dead. Gaia might also be able to speak to and understand Nemesis. Super intelligent AI to Super Intelligent AI.
    I actually think I prefer that to any kind of battle we could fight with Nemesis. Any kind of fight that the tribes can win, even with Gaias help, will make Nemesis seem very underwhelming.
    I'm kind of unsure what content is even going to make sense for a third game. Will Hephaestus just never get captured so there will always be machines to fight? That would be lame.
