why are western developers like this?

You're either forgetting or unaware of all the comic book slop humor and tongue-in-cheek jabs at the game's world that doesn't function alongside all the primitive/tribal they're attempting

Never happened

>games many years later
this is already a game from many years ago.

>>713921901
I played half of 1 (pirated) before dropping it for that exact reason. The game is fine but if the world is going to put me through a story it needs to take itself seriously before it expects me to take it seriously myself. It doesn't. It is a total joke.

Reminder the middle guy is one of this tribe's leaders. And rather than go against their traditions and eat meat, he would rather some of his people starve when they get a bad crop season

has that response taken care of already, Please be more creative.

>>713921803
What? You talking about the word smith guy in the desert ruins? He was fucking based! HZD titles may be ubi-slop gameplay wise but it's lore it legitimately cool. You'll never turn me against it.

>>713923280
>but it's lore it legitimately cool
it might be the most retarded explanation they could come up with for the state of the world
the first game was "sort" of cool while it was tribespeople and mechadinos.
Once you start unraveling your origins and what was the "project zero dawn" then the lore of the game nose dives because again, ITS THE MOST RETARDED EXPLANATION ever put forth to try to explain an apocalyptic event.
But then, on a move that nobody could see coming Guerrilla Games manages to overdo themselves with the ending of the second one, an ending so stupid and devoid of substance that probably killed any interest on the franchise, despite Sony trying to shoehorn Aloy everywhere and claiming that HZD was a flagship franchise.
Basically you are wrong and a i hate you.

>>713923990
What's the deal with the magic flying space people in this franchise and how can a bunch of tribesmen using scavenged robot parts do anything to them?

>>713923990
How is the planet being rebooted after a Grey goo death retarded?

>>713923124
You should call the person making the thread the shill if that's who you're after.

>>713923990
>Sony trying to shoehorn Aloy everywhere and claiming that HZD was a flagship franchise.
Arent they making a live service or mmo on that world?

>>713924987
>Arent they making a live service or mmo on that world?
>or

My dude. They're doing both. There was a rumor one got cancelled during Sony's previous live service holocaust but as far as I'm aware, they're both still in development

>>713921304 (OP)
Can someone tell me why westoids can't design characters nowadays?
I'm genuinely intrigued because what the fuck is this shit

>>713924308
Basically they are elon musk and his freinds that fled Earth and made a colony in outer space where they developed much modern tech.
Aloy is able to hijack some of their tech and use it against them with the help of GAIA which is the pinacle of human's tech before humanity got wiped out, a super AI (portrayed as a black woman obv).
So one of the magic people (the literal second on command) betrays them to help you because.... sigh... she used to rub twats with the person Aloy is a clone of. With her help and GAIA you win the day and then kill her

>>713924602
>How is the planet being rebooted after a Grey goo death retarded?
Is how they go about it.
First the extinction event comes from robots that can repair and replicate themselves. Ok ill buy that even if the game portrays it in a very stupid way. The robots only need "energy" to keep repairing and replicating, one of the first units uses a pod of dolphins as said energy by putting them on a blender. No regard for supplies or anything, they just tell us they are unstopabble and we have to buy it. Obviously their creator has no idea and has to call Sobeck who takes 2 seconds to claim that the swarm is unstoppable and that we need to look for plan b.I mean literally 2 seconds, now that can be a videogames storytelling issue and we have to imagine that in the real world it took longer. Every leader in the world (except musk and his friends that flee to the sequel with NOBODY knowing it) is immediately on board on making the project Zero Dawn.
Now im not even gonna entertain explaining how ludicrous, how much of an ass pull and how much the game is asking you to just go with its bullshit the project is. You know perfectly well that shit is stretching the "science" in science fiction. And im already nearing 2k characters so i wont delve further onto it.
HOWEVER i say this again.
The setting was cool (sort of) when it was tribespeople vs mechadinos.

4chan was being weird
this is GAIA

I gave up on triple AAA games over a decade ago, and so should you.

Aloy (the mc of the franchise) is a clone of the scientist that "saved" the planet a thousand (roughly) years before the events of the games.
The antagonists of the second game are an organization of 77 extremely wealthy billionaires who rejected the zero dawn project (the project the scientist Aloy is cloned from started to save humanity) and instead just jumped on a rocket and developed a colony on outer space (which eventually is what kickstarted the events of the first game).
Chance would have it that one of these people was an ex girlfriend of the woman Aloy is a clone of.

>>713927048
Wait, are the space people a thousand years old? And one of them has held a candle for Aloy's original copy for that long?

>>713927117
>are the space people a thousand years old?
Correct
> And one of them has held a candle for Aloy's original copy for that long?
They also had to make another clone of Aloy's original for biometric reasons. As part of their plan is to steal GAIA (the aforementioned super advanced AI) who is biometrically locked to Aloy.
So her having to interact with that new clone probably made her remember Sobeck (Aloy original's name) fondly and then when she interacts with Aloy she eventually sways to her side. Its not played super romantically or anything until the very end. When she is trying to convince Aloy to leave Earth and start another colony on space. Aloy refuses and she says something like
>im not making the same mistake i made leaving Sobeck blablablabla
She then pilots a gundam with and fights Aloy with the idea of kidnapping and stockholming her i assume, so you kill her

Seriously everything related to the space people is retarded.
Also they unleashed an unstoppable AI which destroyed their colony and is now heading to Earth. Very original

>>713924889
But Anon, you're quite obviously replying to the person who made the thread.

>>713923990
I was pretty onboard with Forbidden West's retarded storyline until the last minute asspull sequel tease twist. How could they possibly see a sequel working to that shit?
