MODERATORS
 

Im currently playing Horizon Forbidden West, and one main story point was a serious let down compared to its prequel, Zero Dawn. The only (good) discussions I found on the topic were all on reddit, which I had left during the great Lemmy migration.

Do I need to go back to reddit for game forum discussions? Is there any other active place that discusses specific games?

Warning, incoming rant. Spoiler tags not working

Itss regarding the

spoilernow sentient subordinate functions, and more importantly, how Aloy treated them.

In Zero Dawn

spoilerDemitri, the one incharge of plant life, scattered metal flowers about in the first game, with bits of poetry his creator loved. He also had flowers growing around Elizabeth Sobeck's body in the ending cutscene.

Then theres CYAN and her whole saga in Frozen Wilds. Aloy really seemed to get along with her.

And yet, in the first half of Forbidden Quest

spoilerAloy has no qualms about killing the subfunctiond and restoring them to base code for the new Gaia.

Minerva was damn scared, hiding in the Base the whole time, all the while sending an encrypted signal saying 'Here I am'.

Aether (weather control) didnt do anything wrong at all, just kept trying to do his duty, even as the errors kept mounting and the storms increasing.

Thats as far as I managed to get before shutting the game down. Will prob uninstall too. Even if the game has well established that Aloy is getting desperate to restore

spoilerGAIA
, this seems way out of character.

The first game story was terrible and so is the second. This is some trivial shit to quit over but to each their own.
