DragonSpear2462 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Wait, so for those of us that didn't finish the game yet, we can simply put it on Ultra Hard for the final boss fight?! O-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyramat Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Was totally expecting a new game plus ultra hard trophy so I went ahead and fully upgraded all my pouches, legendary weapons, and armor during my platinum playthrough in preparation. Glad I did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O-o New Game + ultra hard for the trophy. Tracking from the start to the end of your playthrough. Changing it during your current playthrough, should not award It i belive Edited June 2, 2022 by rasklo93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remember.But hey, there's a trophy for completing the game in NG+, so you still have to do another playthrough anyway =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mega-tallica Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Ultra hard is actually going to be a bit tough in this one since the dodge is significantly less effective than it was in the first one and you don't really have any OP gear like the shield weaver outfit to lean on. Didn't enjoy the game to begin with, definitely not looking forward to this but knew a NG+ was coming eventually. Every Sony exclusive does it now like clockwork. At least there's not much gameplay in this game and can probably speedrun the story in like 6 hours or so. Zero Dawn took me only 8 hours to get through on ultra hard and I know Forbidden West has to be shorter than even that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the new weapons will be linked to side missions. Making you also have to do some of those as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deluziion90 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Managed to speedrun HZD in like 5hrs but I'm a little worried for the final boss in this one. He was kinda annoying on normal difficulty ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JunkSkelington Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) I played through the entire game originally on Hard because the game is boringly easy with 0 threat on anything lesser so I'm not expecting ultra hard NG+ to be too bad. Edit: also since the PS5 version has tracking, you can see there are 17 "weapons, dyes, and facepaints" that it wants you to get for the obtain all NG+ rewards trophy.

JocoDynamo Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Damn, just as I was finished with this game... Guess it's time to grind out getting all the components for upgrading all my weapons and armor before attempting ultra hard... Feel like this is going to be a pain. No Shieldweaver or Banuk weapons to use as a crutch this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played vastly different games. Forbidden West was infinitely harder on Normal than the first game was on Ultra Hard. And it's in large part because they ruined Aloy's ability to have iFrames when she's in her rolling animation, so she takes damage in situations where you're using your only line of defense. Top that off with the fact that enemies were far more aggressive than the first game and had broader attack patterns, I died way too much on Normal. At least this is how it was was at launch...I don't know if updates since I got the Plat fixed any of that. Either way, I do NOT look forward to Ultra Hard in this game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Kite Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) The annoying thing is for people with both the ps4 and ps5 plat you're essentially forced to do ng+ on the ps4 version and then autopop it on PS5. I'd love to play through the game again on the ps5 version but I'm not playing through it for a third time for the ps4 version.

Do you try to melee or something? Just get a good hunter bow and tear off components at range. You're really never in danger of dying to anything because you autoheal by tapping up on the d pad with berries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Junk...I managed to Plat Horizon: Forbidden West by meleeing my way to victory. Obviously I know how to play the game...it doesn't make the combat any less tedious due to it's changes, and you don't have to look far in this thread to see that I'm not the only one who thinks so. Saying there's ZERO danger on anything lower than hard is just incorrect. The fact that you have to heal so much is part of the problem. Healing should be something you need in dire situations...not the crutch you need to lean on because the combat was ruined by one simple thing being taken away. Don't get me wrong, I loved the game otherwise...but the combat was my biggest complaint my entire playthrough. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Knew this was coming, glad I grinded out those arena points for the good stuff. Didn’t find Ultra Hard too challenging in HZD so this is looking to be much more exciting, can’t wait to give it a go! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyramat Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 31 minutes ago, Cryogenicide_X said: What's the best weapon in the game? For bows I think the best one is the Death Seeker's Shadow but you still want multiple bows so you can cover the different arrow types to exploit enemy weaknesses. And the Skykiller spike thrower is also really good; I found that, at least on normal, the spike throwers did huge damage and the Skykiller is the best one in the game. I never really bothered with blast slings or tripcasters which was fine on normal but I don't know if that'll hold for ultra hard. It'll be interesting to see if there's even better weapons included as part of the new update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jerry_Appleby Posted June 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2022 I don't know why people get so upset over DLC trophies like these, they're free and you don't need them to get your platinum anyways. This is what happens when people whined about having platinums being easier to earn, they got rid of all difficulty and replayability trophies and add them via DLC trophy updates. If you want to keep the game at 100%, you will have to go out of your comfort zone and actually try the game on a harder difficulty. I'm glad when they add trophies like this, so even though you can breeze through a game on easy and get a platinum, you can't get 100% without putting at least a bit of effort in! It's a better compromise than to just make everything super easy to beat! 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed that the combat felt off in FW, but I also don't think it made the game any more challenging than ZD on hard. FW required defensive play while ZD allowed you to be aggressive. I certainly had more fun with ZD over FW combat wise though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad I waited to play the PS4 version so I can relearn the mechanics on regular difficulty in preparation for new game plus but I will also be doing my new game plus playthrough on the PS4 and then auto popping. Really enjoyed FW but I'm not playing the campaign 4 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
