Recently discovered this show (which is on Disney+), and have been binge-watching it. Series one and two were great, three was ok, and after watching some of four, have given up on it (unless someone tells me it's worth finishing). Overall, the first three series are definitely worth a watch. (Four) is just not the same without Abi. I understand that the original showrunners/writers left after the second series. Question for anyone who has Netflix or the Amazon equivalent (Prime?). Is it possible, as with Disney+, to just get it for a month to watch say Stranger Things.
Hey all.
I understand that the second game in the series (Horizon Forbidden West) was released on the Playstation early last year and a third game will be released in 2027, so it's quite likely that these two games will be available on PC in 2025 and 2030 respectively, perhaps. Looking at a review of the second game, they said that they found the climbing in that game even worse!? If anyone has played it, can they offer an opinion (on all of it, not just the climbing).

Thanks for sharing this, QB. Certainly provided some laughs!
I know the above are old news to many of you, but I only recently bought and played through them. I very much enjoyed 2. It was like playing a new Fallout 1 and 2 type game. After finishing it I purchased 3. I do *not* like 3, in a number of ways. It is much grimmer than 2. If I was to make a comparison using UK film classifications, 3 is like an 18 (or R film in the USA), whereas 2 goes up to 15 (not sure of the US version). The gore and nastiness is excessive to me. While 2 has a few moral choices, 3 has a load of them, and they pretty much all have crappy consequences in some form or another. The real world has too much evil as it is, and I don't want that in my games. I want to be the good guy. Another aspect I don't like is the graphics engine. Yes, the graphics is better than for 2. BUT, like comparing Final Fantasy 10+ versus FF 7-9, the latter ones had much better graphics and music, but overall the storyline/game play is much more tedious and unfun. Please use the 2 engine/graphics (but with fewer number of skill). Also, in 2 there were difficulties for safes, doors etc, and if your skill levels weren't quite good enough to get through, you might still have a chance to get through them (and could annoyingly grind through random encounters to increase levels to get the required skill levels). In 3, this is not the case; the difficulties are "you must be this high to progress", or you are stuffed. Random encounters are so few that you can't really grind. One good thing about 3 is the unlimited carry wait for the group. Also, I like the use of the vehicle. Another good thing is that there are no NCR or Legion factions. If there are to be additional Wasteland games, I'd much prefer them to be like 2 than 3!
Just finished the game! :) I did the ending where you forgive the BBEG first, then backtracked an hour and did the ending where you ally with the BBEG, allowing you to do The Cursed King part. Overall, I estimate that I played it for about 200 hours. Of those, 16 hours were wasted when I realised that I had to redo Varnhold's Lot with extra healing (a paladin main character), and 24 hours when I didn't get on with defeating Pitax and also wandered into the Thousand Screams area, thus also triggering The Fog problem, with no way to resolve it. The 24 hours part was the last save I had that allowed me to correct that track. It's a great game, although with a few bugs. Sometimes the game crashed when I used AoE spells in areas with too many monsters, most especially the two zombie areas in you-know-where (for those who've played through it). I appreciate the extra effort the Owlcat people went to to really bring the BBEG's story into the game, so that they are not some random villain at the end. Gosh, it has a steep learning curve! I think perhaps that I should make some notes about the best approach to take if or when I replay it. Certainly, it makes sense to follow the main quest as soon as possible, to reduce the effect of repeat problems. Well done all round! I wish that the superstition rage power was an available choice for barbarians! ;)
Thanks! I did a Youtube search for the relevant sections. To redo the Varnhold DLC, I created three new PCs (melee paladin, archer ranger and healer/fire cleric), and brought along the existing melee ranger, rogue and wizard. I also made much better decisions for the characters. It's gone much more smoothly for me in the DLC. :)
Thanks for your reply, AZ. I have a paladin as my PC. Haven't worked out how to increase the number of advisors or how to change a location from a village to a town (yet), and only worked out how to establish other villages yesterday. I like Ekun too. Great damage dealer, especially with the Destroyer of Metal bow (which I think I picked up from Hargulka). Currently in the other world part of the Lamashtu area.
I noticed yesterday that (on Disney+), just as there was for Wandavision, there are more "making of" programmes for Loki and The Falcon And The Winter Soldier. Just search for "assembled" on Disney+.
All definitely worth a watch! They are about an hour long each.
I've been replaying this game quite a bit recently. Started a new game, went through one playthrough doing lots of stuff before deciding to reinstall the mods Fusion City and Outcasts and Remnants. Sadly at that point the file corrupted after adding those new mods. Started another new game, managing to play through FC and OaR*. I'd forgotten just how good those fan-made mods are, so decided to download Project Valkyrie for the first time. Thought it would be fun to go for the "all friends together"-type ending, BUT I'd done the Wag the Dog mission before "Mass Fusion". Mistake! Went back to an earlier save, did MF, then WtD, now the Brotherhood and Institute are friends. Also reformed the Institute, and got the Railroad and Minutemen to get along as well. Good fun. Also, using Liberty Prime as a companion is a bit silly! :O On the whole, there are a lot of fun companions with these extra mods. * Didn't want to do the Outcast missions though. I'm not doing bad guy missions. (For a similar reason, I wouldn't download Depravity by the same people.)
I did a search for this film, and couldn't find one, so here we are! I watched it over the weekend. Part 2 is released in July, apparently. Very interesting premise. It's a horror/thriller, where the characters have to stay quiet, or they will be hunted. I like it. Very tense in parts. Worth a watch. Anyone excited about the second one? I don't know the full story, but it will explain some of the background to the original film.
Hi all! I'm selling 11 lots on ebay. Four recent APs.
Note that I am UK based, but will post elsewhere.
