The first game had her muttering constantly to herself at everything you did as a player. I don't trust they'll have fixed that since they are doing the same shit they did with advertising the first game. They could have at least gotten a VO director who gave the actors more direction that just "Sound determined". The game will no doubt do well regardless since people are so stupid they pretend the first game had a good story so it doesn't really matter. This is the same studio that has shamelessly ripped off shit and had horrid controls their entire existence and gotten praised anyways because of impressive graphics.

People priased the first game because it improved the Ubisoft Open world design. The story was barely made mention of because people primarily cared about killing robot dinosaurs with explosives.

The less focus on story the better for a game like this. The first game was at its peak when you had the freedom to explore the large sandbox and discover new machines to fight. The human characters and enemies just never interested me in comparison.

This is probably why Forbidden West hasn’t grabbed me yet. I’m not invested in Aloy and the plot surrounding her, so the rest of the game looks like more of the same as Zero Dawn.

I don't see how it improved on the Ubisoft formula at all, it just felt like another Ubisoft game but with a different coat of paint when I played it. To me it just further enforced my opinion that Ubisoft shit is only tolerable when it has a decent backdrop (Blood Dragon, Far Cry 5), and is unbearably tedious when it doesn't (Horizon, every Asscreed post 1). Also how do people not die laughing at a world where there are robot dinosaurs and you can kill them with a fucking bow and arrow as a 90lb woman?

The arrows effectively function as grenades because the have explosives attached to them. You also use things like tripwires and machines guns. In the first game, the final set of armor was similar to Halo's Spartan Armor

Like Monster Hunter the whole appeal they seem to be going for in the sequel is to explore the world and kill shit with weapons made from the animals. That mammoth boss battle in the trailer showed that the enemies have patterns you need to memorize as well as specific weak spots you can hit and break off for more damage and rewards. The story is just a framing device, and for an open world game like that, it's fine.

Unfortunately for Horizon, MH exists. Why play fem. Alfred E Newman when you could play the character you want to look like and without the pozzed story?

Social Justice was a mistake. We went from a looker to not bad to... well, not exactly a hambeast, but definitely some species of pig.

Because I cleared and collected everything in Monster Hunter World, Iceborne, and Rise.

But for what purpose?

think about it. your eyes are basically wide angle lenses and im pretty sure if you got up and close to a person's face it'd look similar. also ears being tucked behind the head would be more common in wide angle shots than what you'd normally use for close ups

Eyes are just an illusion, man.

But, no, I can't say getting up close to anyone's face made them look like that.
 
Aloy is trending on Twitter today. Turns out a alpha male has opinions and pissed off the entire SJW crowd.

No matter what Aloy looks like, looks alone won’t fix her bland personality which is the bigger issue for me. I’m not concerned about her design.

But I hope that dude isn’t serious with that fan made design. That celebrity aesthetic has always been fake with women hiding behind layers of makeup and plastic surgery.

Hope the devs figure out how to implement massive, game changing mechanics this time around, like sleeping to change the time of day or the ability to zoom the camera out so you can see more then Aloy’s back for 90% game...

Late reply, I know, but the thread was just necro'ed.

All politics aside, that's pretty damned disrespectful to the guy. "Hey, sorry that this guy died. Please buy a PlayStation!"
