What are you playing this weekend? (2023.07.08) - Lemmy.world

So I did it, I beat Horizon: Forbidden West and now I’m left with that empty feeling inside that I get whenever I finish any game I love. Luckily I still have to finish up a few of the core character side quests. Then I have Burning Shores and Frozen Wilds I haven’t played yet. ::: spoiler My Horizon End Game Thoughts (Major Spoilers) I sat though the whole end credits when Aloy was flying over the entire game map just hoping she would land somewhere cool and one last cutscene would play. Unfortunately that didn’t happen, but it was still beautiful to watch. I was so sad when I returned to the base and all my friends were gone, save for Beta and Gaia. Luckily I was able to do a sidequest with Alva after that. I think I just have one more quest with Zo to wrap up as well. I’ll do these before I go to Butning Shores. I’m excited to spend more time with Selens (I hope). I missed seeing him throughout the campaign. He was just in the beginning and the end really. He’s waiting for me at Tilda’s to start the quest. He can wait a little longer. Prior to the last mission I didn’t want to kill Regalla and would rather she join the final battle. But I really wanted her bow (I looked up the outcomes of the decisions). So in my head cannon, she dies on the battlefield in some form of redemption AND I still get her sick bow. As for Nemesis…what the actual fuck. Aloy can’t catch a break. Horizon 3 can’t come soon enough. I really really hope it finally has coop. Beta can learn to be like Aloy right? I really thought Varl was going to be set up to be your coop companion in Horizon 3. When I beat Burning Shores I’m going to have to go back and finally finish Frozen Wilds. Or maybe I’ll do Frozen Wilds first. Haven’t decided yet. For now I’m basking in it all. ::: Anyway, what’re you all playing? Let’s hear it!

Finally finished Deathloop. (Well, I completed the main missions… there’s still a zillion side things, trophies to chase, etc… But I probably won’t bother with that.)

It was fantastic!

My final loop was wild. I had everything in place to do it but was freaking out the whole time about the party which had screwed me over many times before. A crazy combination of luck and good timing on my part barely got me through it - incredibly satisfying.

Yeah, I tried and failed at the party a bunch of times before the final loop. I did fail at it on my first try of the final, but I nailed it on the second. (I sneak to the top of the mansion, drop down into the room with the beer in it and shut off the valves. Alexis will come down looking for his chocolate beer without anyone else, you can just pop him. It seems to dial down the number of eternalists by a lot once he’s killed.)

Great game. I’m going to go back and check out the other Arkane titles now.

I didn’t even know about this route! Sounds easy easier
