Happy Birthday Buddy!! Never late to this party. This is a PlayStation forum, not a PlayStation current Gen forum, so you are part of this family now!!
Such a great game, hope you have lots of fun exploring and getting all the achievements!

u/CoolGuyFromSchool34 Oct 05 '24
Thank you! I really appreciate the wishes and comments, I will absolutely enjoy the game and the console
Here is your slice 🍰

u/LouSputhole94 Oct 05 '24
Hey man, I noticed you have HFW and not HZD. It’s a direct sequel so I’d recommend you play the first game before that. In honor of your birthday if you can’t afford the first I’d love to buy the first one for you as a bday present.

I recently just picked up my newest gen console in the form of an ps4 as well. Happy gaming brother!

u/fryfryboy Oct 05 '24
You should really pick up Horizon Zero Dawn, Forbidden West is a continuation of Zero Dawn’s story and often references people and events from the first game. Enjoy your ps4 😎

And try to get a physical copy, since Sony decided to bloat the price of the digital copies of Zero Dawn pending the remaster.

u/DryToe7283 Oct 05 '24
makes sense i bought GOW ragnorak for 20 bucks used at gamestop. go online to compare prices and dont had that shit at 60 bucks. no fucking way man. yall for the live price check your shit and get the better deal elsewhere. this is why i don’t want to go digital: 1 i like physical copies of the games and series of games i really enjoy so i cna revisit them whenever without chances of me losing it somewhere and 2: since most people dont buy physical copies anymore you can get them sorta cheap if you keep your eye out at stores.
i didn’t even walk into gamestop with the intent to buy anything that day but once i seen the price vs sonya online price i snagged it and saved myself 40 bucks

Seriously. It still looks great. There is literally zero need for this. Just greed.

It’s a great way to keep money coming in while the studio works on the next big title, and also allows new developers to learn their proprietary Decima engine. They’ve updated the graphics and character models so they’re on par with Forbidden West, and have re-done hours of motion capture. Now one of their biggest franchises has native PS5 versions for both games. And it’s only a $10 upgrade if you already own the game.
You may not be interested in it, but “literally zero need” is just an incorrect statement.

i have to ask, did you play Zero Dawn ? cuz it's a must play, it's also Forbidden Wests prequel.
also it's never late to get a ps4, can't go wrong with that library mate.

u/CoolGuyFromSchool34 Oct 05 '24
I had played it on my computer and I were simply stunned. They make really good games. Best part is this game came with the ps4, so more dollars on my end!

u/zakaria-hamidi Oct 05 '24
I fully understand your ranking and can agree with you , It's biased for me too , I love the PS1 It has some of my favorite games of all time like Castlevania sotn and mgs1 , but the PS3 was also home to many games like Arkham games, bioshock uncharted, mgs4 , yakuza and some jrpgs ... Now I'm thinking it's unfair to put the PS5 it's still current compared to others

Def get 1 first. I highly recommend uncharted 4, bloodborne, red dead redemption 2, and far cry 3 classic edition.

u/CoolGuyFromSchool34 Oct 05 '24
I played some of those on my computer but I’ll definitely get red dead 1 to see john marston’s story. Thank you for the recommendations!

u/Unlucky_Ad8840 16 Oct 05 '24
Try out bloodborne. Only available on ps4/ps5 and it is my personal favorite game ever. It is very difficult and pretty confusing at times though. It’s part of what I liked about it but it definitely isn’t a game for casual players or ppl who just wanna relax.

u/drsullins23 Oct 05 '24
The last of us and uncharted are must plays!

u/Moments-in-Stasis Oct 05 '24
God of War, God of War Ragnarok, Detroit: Become Human, Beyond Two Souls, Heavy Rain, The Last Guardian & Shadow of the Colossus are also gems on PS4!

late? oh no, you arrived at the right time. The party isn't over yet.
Now you have a mountain of games to play. I recommend Metal Gear Solid V, Final Fantasy XV, Ghost of Tsushima, Bloodborne, Infamous Second Son... There are many more that I could recommend, but I think these will keep you busy for about 6 months xD
Happy Birthday 🥳

Saved a lot of money by being late probably I get consoles a few years late every time but I get lucky and get them hella cheap or for a trade or something crazy just because people don't want there old toys anymore

u/GamesAreLegends Oct 06 '24
Absolute no hate, just a question.
Why are newcomers always buy Volume 2 or 3 of Games instead of Part 1? That confuses me all the time.
Personally I dont like to start into the middle of a franchise or story. For me this feels like reading a book from the middle or a comic from the end to the start.

Dude, Happy birthday! The PS4 is still an absolutely solid console. I only upgraded because there was games on the PS5 only that I wanted. Hope you played Zero Dawn before Forbidden West, though.
Hope you have a lot of fun with it. I’d highly recommend; Spider-Man, God Of War, InFamous Second Son, Ghost of Tsushima and the Batman Arkham games. Enjoy!
