  • @ronb6313
    Literally, was just talking to my son today about the information you provided to get through HZD and HFW for me to reach 100%, Thanks Arktix.
  • @fanta5778
    Every game needs a content creator who breaks down a video game so well like you do. Your guides are so detailed I bet the devs would be impressed
  • even if i dont play this game anymore im still watching this videos for the sole purpose of supporting your channel, you are such an amazing content creator and im sure you have helped a lot of players improve and enjoy this game way more... keep it up!
  • @The_Story_Of_Us
    recently started replaying Forbidden West and I've never delved so deep into a singleplayer game's combat mechanics and I think it speaks so much to the game's excellence in this area that even a half hour long, in-depth quality breakdown like this into the gameplay still doesn't truly convey what it takes to master the higher difficulties. But hey, the overall body of content you've put out about this game is definitely enough to take someone from a newbie to actual machine disassembly line.
  • Another banger with your insane production value, and incredible pace. 1000+ hours of my own in this game didn't stop me from watching the entire thing:) cant wait for more content for the PC version. Cheers Arktix!
  • @ExecutorElassus
    Your guides were a lifesaver for me playing Zero Dawn; and now that Forbidden West is out for PC, here I am again, finding your guides invaluable. I'm so happy finally to get into the Forbidden West, and so glad so many of the great youtubers like yourself are here to help me along the way.
  • @Jinx7782
    This is my first time commenting on any of your videos as I watch on my tv but I've really wanted to let you know for a while now how goddamn awesome you are! Thank you (and all of your contributors) for all of the hard work these videos must take to produce. Your master class videos have been invaluable and I send all my friends who play straight to your channel for info. Can't wait to see what the future holds in store for you and your channel!
  • @imia9334
    Your videos are really a must-see for anyone playing the Horizon games! I'm not even playing Horizon at the moment, but I have to take a break in my work day now to watch this :D

    I mainly use a fixed but tactical weapons selections so that I am open to many situations and have the right elemental ammo to take down Machines. My loudout includes a Ropecaster (The Tie That Binds), 2 Slings (Skyhammer and The Wings of the Ten), a Shredder Gauntlet (The Ancestor’s Return), and a Hunter Bow (The Emperor’s Reign). My main armor is the Utaru Gravesinger, the reason why I use this instead of a legendary armor is because it is a mixed gear making it more convenient to have equipped. Anytime I enter an Outpost, first thing I do is to tag all of the enemies before going in so I can plan my attacks carefully. Here’s a little trick I discovered which has to do with the Machine Grapple Strike. (It only applies to enemies that are Shocked or Tied down) So when a Machine is tied down or Shocked, it’s not bad to use the Machine Grapple Strike but most people actually do it wrong. Don’t immediately start with the Grapple Strike, just start with a Critical Strike then follow up with the Grapple Strike to deal maximum damage to the Machine. Anyway, that’s my preferred play style and I feel it has worked all the time as it has made the game pretty simple over time.
  • @kockaq
    Thank you so much for your content! I am prepping myself for the pc version and I literally cannot wait! And your videos and tutorials are incredibly helpful ❤
  • Dude your videos are so good, everything is detailed, clear, and precise.
  • @RelishPolice
    Just jumped back into Forbidden West after a year and this is a fantastic refresher. Thanks!
  • @patientgaming
    This is arguably one of the best pieces of content I've seen — not only for this game, but for gaming as an entertainment medium. Excellent work! Wish I watched all these before starting my first playthrough.
  • @ellis_wavv
    this is SUCH A GOOD VIDEO. I got platinum on HZD and have had some trouble dealing big damage in HFW. this helped so much!
  • @honest_cake
    This video was MASSIVE, awesome job man. Probably the best overall guide out there right now. Gonna be pretty handy for a lot of folks in 3 weeks!
  • @Lenzelot501
    I love your videos! Your videos helped me reach 100% in both Horizon Forbidden West and the Burning Shores, all legendaries maxed and everything coiled with the best legendary coils (thank you arena glitch🙏) and I consider myself a pretty good player thanks to your guides. You helped me so much with these!
