This includes the Frozen Wilds expansion. I would love to see the Forbidden West expansion on PC as well!Which is weird!

Seriously?!? EVERYONE is tired of this exclusives crap. It's not going to motivate us to buy a PS5. It just going to disappoint and piss us off! Get a damn clue people! EDIT: And before anyone says it, no I don't play on Xbox either. FPS type games are a crap experience on a controller. Keyboard and Mouse ONLY! Which means PC mofo's!
Zero Dawn was one of the best games I've ever played, despite feeling an important portion of character development was missing, specifically I've missed a design element that Bethesda loves to add to their games - and imo why they are so successful - which was giving Aloy the option to forge friendships, relationships and join factions according to the player's will, but instead there were very few instances where she was given any meaningful choice.
They tried to keep the game PG too much, turns out the terraformed apocalypse is a pristine place and there was no possible way for Aloy to use her looks and charm to get her way with influencing people... :rolleyes:
Thankfully the fan artists and writers on Twitter cover up much of that denied fan service.
I'm curious what the death of Lance Reddick will do for Silus' character. AFAIK there's another game coming after Forbidden West and Silus' plot arc isn't complete yet.
I think the story of Forbidden West, or better yet, the way the game interconnects everything was not particularly well made, Zero Dawn was much better in that regard even if it becomes much more linear, but you'll get to see a bunch of growing in Alloy's part. Some of it is a bit lazily written character flaws but I still found it enjoyable.
