Beautiful Game Appreciation

[Zloth]

More H:FW

Even the menu is gorgeous!

Fire in the sky

Going down to the valley

Falling (Why wouldn't the game let me pick the cannonball or dive pose!? Harrump!)

 

[Zloth]

Some more Forbidden West

Stepping out...

Green glow

Hanging around, taking in the view

Horsee!!

 

[Brian Boru]

more Forbidden West

Beautiful!

 

[Zloth]

Going through a caldrun

LA

Did I hear something squawk!?

Perfect name for a company that pulls asteroids into near-Earth orbit for mining

 

[Zloth]

More H:FW

Looking out over No-Man's Land

Morning mists

Leaping into the Forbidden West

 

[Brian Boru]

Lovely

No-Man's Land

Does that = Girl's Land?

 

[Zloth]

Does that = Girl's Land?

There were all sorts of people there! I presume it's got a similar story to Greenland's name, only this time it was aimed at introverts.

 

[ElvenNeko]

Also started playing HFW today. And while i don't have such graphics, i think the fact that it runs ok on rx580 and looks almost as beautiful on medium settings is making me happy. This game has some optimisation.

More Forbidden West

Hanging out near an old water tower

Gliding

Sturdy skyscraper

 

[Zloth]

Horizon: Forbidden West

Opening scene. I know I'm in for a good game when I take a screenshot before I'm even 5 seconds in.

Sharp island

Good night sky!

Plainsong with snow

Plainsong sans snow. Looks a little like the Very Large Array to me, except the scopes are bigger and there are fewer of them.

Horizon: Forbidden West

The sun is setting on the beginner area, time to open this world up!

Sylens

OK, so I'm doing a lot of sunsets...

Tell me a story....

Last set of Forbidden West shots

A tower hidden in plain sight

Another tower, only a little easier to see

View of the West from the.... East? Central? Eastern Rockies? Wherever Zero Dawn took place.

YIPE!!

Aloy goes Viking

@Zloth rumors of a Horizon Zero Down remastered on the horizon.

@Zloth rumors of a Horizon Zero Down remastered on the horizon.

!? Zero Dawn already looks great. Maybe they're aiming at the PS5 folks? <shrug>

Yeah, I dunno. It would not be the first game I would think would get a remaster and also it is not that old either.

Last set of Forbidden West

Great sets, game is visually a treat.

What invisible towers are you on about—the rock formations?

What invisible towers are you on about—the rock formations?

The towers that look like rock formations! You can climb each of them and, if you get to the top of all of them, you can turn them in for a reward. An absolutely terrible reward - even for a starting area. Guerrilla made a ton of improvements over Zero Dawn, but the rewards for collectables were not one of them. Still, they look cool.

Oh I'm truly blind, I see 'em now!

The Invincible

Now that's a serious memory bank. You could probably put the complete works of Shakespear on there (yes, even all the sonnets) and still have room for War & Peace!

I went from 1440p 16:9 to ultrawide somewhere during this game . I can't necessarily say it improved my driving skills but no regrets.

Totally felt safe parking my car here.

That's US Cracks! They're so awesome, they broke Rock & Roll! (Or that's what I heard, anyway...)

P.S. Is that second picture underwater??

Yes it is! I have no clue how but I somehow lost control over my car, it flipped o ver a guardrail and sank straight to the bottom of the river. Only time it's happened with a car, but I managed it with a motorcycle too. Couldn't be salvalged unfortunately.

Merry Christmas!

Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, early at the crack of dawn. For a 5 year-old game, still looks great, and they added HDR support.
