Does this have an option to start the game with Burning Shores and a leveled character? I finished the game on PS5 and don't want to replay the entire game again.

I think you still need to reach a certain point in the story; it won't let me start the expansion from the main menu just yet.
Ah thanks. I guess if I grab the PC version, I'll need to download a completed save too. Wish it was like Cyberpunk where they offered a level 15 character to immediately start playing the expansion.

Does the main character ever stop talking? I don't remember this being such a thing in the first game, but like, I should pick up these plants, I could pull down this rope, I could jump into the water to drown myself OMG PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING ON THE SCREEN I CAN SEE THAT

Yeah, it's… a big problem with this one. She commentates every step she takes.

Seems to be a character-action genre thing. Jedi Survivor is like that, too.

I think she simmers down as the game goes on, though. I just reached the open world, and she's much more chill. I guess the devs figure we don't need as much guidance from her by then.

FWIW, Aloy spent much of her life in isolation with nobody to talk to. It's not a stretch that she would vocalize her thoughts. Makes more sense to me in this game than other ones, in all honesty.

I don't always die to fall damage (haven't gotten the glider yet) but when I do it's because I double tapped a direction key and yeeted myself off a cliff.

Probably gonna have to disable those keybinds.

Yea I hope it's just a tutorial area thing. But it's a bit too much atm.

Can't decide if this is worth playing again for just the DLC that I never tried. How good does it really look?

Honestly, I never minded how much Aloy spoke to herself. Although if I remember correctly, they patched the frequency of some lines for picking up stuff and placing it in her satchel.

It's baffling to me to see the first YouTube impressions doing everything wrong on the Deck.

Just stick with a methodology for Christ sake and show the options without FSR.

Glad to see it seems to be a great PC port. I still would like to replay Zero Dawn and go through Frozen Wilds for the first time. So I'll try to resist buying this in the meantime if I can hold out.

I wonder if Sony will implement save importing from PS5 in their games. I could've started NG+ on PC and played Burning Shores.

I don't mind her talking to herself, just that she often would give away entire puzzle solutions lol
Yeah. I think that and the over reliance on the focus highlight a problem I have with Horizon. It's pretty but it'd be a nightmare to try and solve some of the puzzles without Aloy's commentary and constantly spamming the focus.

Would be handy for these bigger games for sure. I'm in the same boat with Ghost. Finished the story, but never got around to the DLC. Don't mind starting over, but would be nice to be able to jump into the DLC right away if I wanted for something new.

Yeah or that, jumping into the DLC with a pre built character which is a really good feature in CDPR games. Ah well.

Very glad to hear this is running great on PC! Amazing to think how far we've come since the very first port of Zero Dawn all those years ago and how that ran.

Since moving mostly to PC, it's one thing I'd like to see more of. Repurchased a lot of games I half finished on other platforms, and it's always a pain starting over. Had no idea CDPR done that, it's pretty cool!

Yea, I wish they would tone this down. Haven't played Forbidden West but even in the first one it was more common that I'd like.

Yea, maybe it's because I spend a lot of time by myself, and talk to myself a bunch in the process, but I find it to not really be that bad overall. I can understand it really bugging people though, it's really an either/or kinda thing.

Had this on PS5, but stopped playing as soon as the PC version was announced. Just going to start a new game there.

The chattiness in some of these games should honestly have a toggle. It can get very old, very quickly when your character narrates every little thing they're doing or want you to do. God of War Ragnarok is another recent offender with Atreus and Mimir.

I was dismayed with The Frozen Wilds when it was tuned to an absurd degree with the Shaman Path. Every single time you strayed from the intended path "oh, this is not it. I better turn around... right after picking up these sweet items!" Unironical parody level.

At least the voice direction for her is better than in the 1st one. But ya she never stops talking
