    I will agree the animations when talking were kinda stiff in Zero Dawn, but they definitely fixed that in Forbidden West. I liked it as a open world action/adventure, and appreciated the time that went into creating the world. With that being said I have 0 incentive to play the game over again since I hit level cap. As a sci-fi story, though, I really liked it and it sucks that Lance Reddick died because he voiced a pretty major character.

    Based on how advanced the world was in Horizon pre-apocalypse lore I’m surprised genetic engineering was mentioned, but they do tie it all together in the story on why they went to robots. If you have the inclination I’d recommend giving it a shot yourself.

    I met Ashley Burch at a Borderlands 2 event in Dallas about 10 years ago because from what I understand her brother wrote the story for the game, and she did voices in it.

      -//Posting this on mobile in a motel halfway across the country on a burner phone because my bro engaged parental control mode on my phone by lying to TMobile amd claiming I was insane amd then lying to my friends and family telling them the same, all while using said parental control to stalk and harass me, and send me insane demands and gaslight me until I got the burner phone//-

        Man good luck with all that BS, sounds like a crap situation to be in. At least you’ve found a way around the fuckery.

          Well Ive lost everything I have ever owned, was at one point held hostage, starved and beaten by a fentanyl crazed madman for 5 days, and discovered that all of my former friends and family are too busy to help me in anyway, or more common they would prefer to gaslight and play devils advocate type mind games with me while I am starving and sleeping outside.

          So uh… yeah. New game +, but I am older now. Oh well.
