You're bringing it up more than anybody, just settle down. Zelda will be fine. When Zelda fans tried shitting up every Horizon thread for a year, there is gonna be some smack thrown back when there is a contrast like this of free vs. payed DLC for hard mode.

How did that go under the radar.

Are you saying it's not true or are you saying you don't believe it?
Either way, it is true and it was part of the $20 DLC. Worth it, according to fans.

. Just got a PS4 Pro so this is excellent.

It was on sale during E3 for $40. That's when I picked it up and have no regrets.Why the hell isn't this game part of mid year sale right now?
Really enjoyed the game and honestly might be one of the few games I might play through again.
Already preordered the DLC.

It was at least part of a larger dlc pack. Which i guess is still pretty bad.

Was looking for an excuse to replay Horizon and now this appears. Time for a New Game +.

Support for this game has been incredible. All of this is a welcome addition and I'm happy they even thought to add a couple of trophies. Just the excuse I needed to play this again even before the DLC.

I'm VERY excited by this! I just recently unlocked the Platinum trophy and was sad that it was over until the DLC releases. I gotta say this was probably the easiest game to Platinum though but certainly glad you didn't need to find every piece of lore, buy everything, or complete the game on every difficulty or choosing all the dialog choices.

I picked up TEW on that sale....
Not that it's a bad game, just that I wish I had gone with this instead.

Load the save file of the completed campaign, press Options and "Create New Game+ Loadout". After that you can start the NG+.

Physical copy of Horizon still $40 on Amazon.
It has ugy headgear, but you'll disable them pretty quickly, trust me (except for Shadow Stalwart, Aloy looks like a legit superhero with the headgear).

Amazon is not supported in my country. I have to try and find a cheap physical copy in local shops. Here is hoping.

New trophies--looks like I'm jumping back into Horizon sooner than i thought but that's not a bad thing. Curious to see how difficult ultra-hard will be

Dont they charge for hard mode dlc?

I wonder if they'd ever let you wear the actual armor you make the shield weaver outfit with. That'd be cool.

Did they say where the facepaint is specifically?

They are rewards for completing ng+
Not wearing it was smart of Aloy, that thing didn't pass tests and broke bones of tester.

That's a bit of a buzzkill but at least I'll have it before The Frozen Wilds drops.

Bravo. I am impressed by this game and a game + is just enough to get me back a third time.

Oh fuck yes. Here's hoping The Frozen Wilds also adds a fourth skill tree and raises the level cap. Gonna have to force the friend I lent this game to give it back.
Also, color me incredibly excited for the new higher-tier equipment. I'm VERY curious to see how it stacks up to the Lodge versions where applicable (will we have to weigh the Lodge base stat boost against the extra mod slot?), and also very curious to see what the high-level armor situation is like (especially the three-slot versus four-slot situation in comparison to the previous two-versus-three). I might need to abandon Shield Weaver and go back to an all-stealth build.
Unless there's a version of Shield Weaver with mod slots...

Ehh, considering how bulletspongey the game felt on very hard, combined with the janky hitboxes on attacks in general i don think i want to go near that ultra difficulty.

I mean unless money is hard to come by for you, you really should support devs like this. I completely understand trying to get good games for less. It's a wise choice. But if you really want to play the game now, there's no reason not to buy now. I see the same thing with other great games like Ori and the blind forest. $20 game and people can't front that because... Why exactly?
By all means, wait for a deal on cash grab yearly released games but good devs deserve your money for putting time and effort into making a game for the players. Just imo. I am a very frugal person but I love supporting my favorite franchises at full price.

I was excited just to hear about a New Game+ mode that gives me an excuse to play the game again on my Pro before the DLC drops, but now they're telling me there are new trophies involved, one of which I'm sure is tied to beating Ultra Hard mode?
Trophies? Check.
Challenging new difficulty? Check. (Played on Hard first time, loved it)
Excuse to play this in 4K? Check.
Guerilla put themselves in position to compete with Naughty Dog with one release, that's still insane to me. They and CD Projekt Red have come completely out of left field for me this gen.

One thing about GG in my experience: they sure do support their games. KZ2 and 3 and SF also got pretty damn goof support I felt and they're really delivery well in wake of success of Zero Dawn.
Much appreciated as a customer even if I felt KZ3 and SF had issues in terms of aspects of their design (level design, etc not tech that's always been solid with GG since KZ2).
Looks like my replay is finally upon me too.

Really looking forward to finally getting this game. Was a causality in the game fiesta we had this year. Might be a nice purchase for September.

I definitely disagree with most of the headgear in the game being ugly.
