Bought the update but disappointed that I can't play it again via Ng plus since level trophies won't pop. Seems like a crappy effort

Man this remaster is a fucking joke, I am in the trial, after Aloys victory and I cant shoot arrows anymore. I have tried verifying the games files, and even loading a previous game. Nothing, Aloy doesnt shoot arrows anymore and I can only use melee. And not only this, lip sync is really bad, the physics are super weird, the hair in characters is bugged out as well. This remaster is a real dissapointment in so many ways. Not surprised that on steam reviews are mixed

Oh look, a rage-baiter has entered this thread! I will go on a limb and say that you have not even tried it or this is a you only problem.

Can’t shoot arrows? Try the amazing melee
On a serious note, have you searched to see if this is a common problem with any fix?

Ive noticed I cannot shoot arrows. Im having to close the game and re start for them to work. Then it does it again.

LMAO what kind of revisionist history bullshit is this? Killzone wasn't ahead of its time at all. It was an unremarkable grimdark FPS series during a time where there were a million grimdark FPS series. It did nothing special besides graphics. The Halo games released around that time were all much, much better.
Shit, even Halo 4, which most would rank near the bottom of the series, is a better game than any of the Killzone titles.

Opinions are like asses.. We all have them and they all stink. You do you man.. I feel Killzone was a great game, just suffered from lower specs from the era. A kill zone reboot and remastered would be an excellent game. Feel free to argue with the clouds,

Forgot how good some of the emails and audio logs were when you reach Makers End. How the world was slowly coming apart thanks to Ted Faro & Friends.

What's the difference between this game and Monster Hunter? The appeal, I mean. Why does this game inspire so much passive aggression on forums but Monster Hunter gets so much love? Is it because of Fat Aloy?

They are nothing alike.
Even the hunting is done in a complete different way.

I haven't played either, but I've heard that in both games you unlock new gear by killing monsters/ robots and using their body parts to craft stuff.

Yes the story is really good. Usually I skip stuff like this during games because they try to be funny or the stuff is not relevant at all but there are some where you get sucked in and actually read or listen to all the audio messages and notes.Forgot how good some of the emails and audio logs were when you reach Makers End.

Yeah but the game structure, combat etc. Are totally different.
So even if on paper they sound kinda similar, the 2 games are vastly different.

In the first game, that's true only in a very limited fashion. You basically have three tiers of each weapon type (and the mid-tier is quite redundant, just go for the highest tier when you're able), and while you do need particular loot from particular machines, the variety is very limited. It's mostly just RNG. Just kill X amount of $MACHINE to achieve that.
Forbidden West is more like Monster Hunter (in this regard only, it's still not like Monster Hunter) in that there's a larger variety of both weaponry and variations within a type, and to buy/upgrade them you need particular pieces from a machine. And you must remove them while the machine is still "alive" (weapons with high tear stat are your friend), no ability to loot them after the machine is downed. (and if this seems like too much work, you can enable "easy loot" from accessibility settings)

I just bought the remastered upgrade, since I owned the game already. I'll play it one of these days, thanks for the info!

Just one more hint. I think Guerrilla realized that the economy kinda sucks at some point during the development of HZD (since it is all RNG, which may not seem fair), but it was too late to start correcting it. Instead (I'm pretty sure this is the reason), once you get to that-large-town-in-the-desert, there's a vendor where you can exchange shards (the currency) to machine parts, if you don't want to grind it out. Provided you have the cash, of course.

On pc the game has a bug where randomly the trigger doesn't work anymore and you can't shoot arrows, very annoying.
Also, when you close the game on steam, it doesn't really close the game and you have to manually close the game from steam, also annoying.
Btw, i'm not sure how anyone can think that combat in zero dawn is better than fw, zero dawn is superior in so many things, but fucking combat is not one of them unless you just like more basic combat with less variety.

You can buy rare parts directly from the vendor? There's nothing you can get exclusively by grinding?

I'm not sure if you can buy all of the rare parts/components... I think there are some that you can't. But most of them can be bought if you're so inclined.

Okay, thanks so much for the info, I appreciate it

you can fix this bug by disabling steam input in the games properties

Already tried but after a while it return again, and it randomly solve itself when i do enough reboot, change of controllers etc but it feels completely random.

Sad to hear. For me it has been working fine after doing this. That being said, I already contacted Nixxes and they told me they are working to fix it, so the patch is imminent. Hang in there buddy

Lucky for me in my case it's pretty rare but i heard people being completely fucked so they better speed up the process.

At least he got a proper ending for himself. Got to suffer for thousands and thousands of years and to die like the monster he was.

When I first played this game back in 2017 or whenever it released, Aloy looked familiar but I couldn’t put my finger on it. When I played the sequel a couple years back, same thing she, looked so familiar…it finally hit me.
Aloy looks like Tom Cruise.

So there are the environmental improvements, vegetation, water, whatnot - but one really true improvement is within the NPC discussions. It may seem like a minute detail, but having the characters do anything else than "shot - reverse-shot", even with small camera adjustments, really makes a difference. That one give-me-a-quest scene with the Oseram guy with the eyepatch was definitely meme-worthy before. Not so much anymore. The dialogue is debatable, but when it comes to the presentation, it's completely fine.
Whether it's worth the effort (keeping in mind that this is mostly Nixxes, and there will be a major Decima PC port *cough*DS2*couch*) is debatable. But for a 10€ upgrade (or really 5€ with store credit), I can't complain.

You're confusing it with Elden Ring, lol.
I personally find this very forced with HZD Remastered, it's not like it was huge release directly competing against the other titles (especially one which is just a beta), and the majority of people bought it at $10, so they probably decided to try it out later.
Though not as bad as people using Dragon Quest 3 against Lego Horizon. I mean, come on now, Horizon is absolutely going to destroy DQ worldwide, lol.

Punishing Europe (the E in EFIGS...its not English [it is] but it is really referring to Europe) in game development has been a thing for decades.
Gabe is probably just taking his taxation and GDPR woes out on you poor HZD fans....
**update**
Played this tonight…holy crap they put in some work on this remaster.

Ah you’re right, and even worse I’d say, Elden Ring is my all time #1, not the easiest competition.
I still haven’t played through Forbidden West, I stopped for Elden Ring and then put it away, then started again for the PC port but stopped again for something else can’t remember.
Been playing HZD Remastered over the weekend. It’s pretty for sure! I feel like the story is so much better than at least what I’ve seen of HFW (fighting the elephant boss). The kids love this world but the base games aren’t suitable for small ones because of the tribe fights so the Horizon LEGO game could be popular here.
The work put into this is dramatically more than what Capcom did for the RE games.
