@@F4Wildcat I remember in the early hours of the game, I thought the map made NO sense. How could there be a tropical jungle complete with vines and palm trees in the middle of what used to be the southwestern US? I was pretty damn impressed when I learned the absurdly varied environments were the result of terraforming not going quite as planned, and therefore resulting in a bunch of different biomes developing in close proximity to one another. Even IF it's not technically possible, it was an explanation that definitely seemed to make a lot of sense for a fictional scifi story

@@craigharvey-gurr337 As I recall, the biomass-conversion tech was actually an offshoot of Elizabet Sobek's earlier terraforming robots project that reversed global warming and pollution.

Ted Faro co-opted the tech and basically just stripped out any limitations, so it would absorb any useful biomass and use it to repair and refuel.

Classic tale of solving one problem and creating a new one. For example, there are people who are trying to figure out how to convert Water into clean, cheap fuel. If they succeed though, after only a few thousand years we would dangerously deplete the earths water supply. Which is a problem. Could be fixed by dropping ice asteroids onto the earth, which also creates an obvious problem.

I was repeatedly impressed with how much thought they put into Zero Dawn. They could have stopped at "preserve DNA and information for reseeding the planet with life and humanity in the future." But the amount of details in the plan was just astounding. How GAIA was created, her function, her subfunctions, how she operates, the APOLO project, how they planned to raise future humans, how GAIA is supposed to terraform the planet, the flaws with the project, etc. Even HADES' existence, which might have a questionable reason in a different story, has a very logical reason from an ecological standpoint (somewhat).

I love how the two types of machines, the beasts and the FARO swarm, look very distinct from each other. The FARO swarm is gritty, dark and somewhat crude, signifying older tech whilst still being advanced tech for the time, while the beasts of Aloy's present day are sleek, shiny and look highly futuristic, signifying their messianic role in the project of Zero Dawn. Just details like that shine through and you realize that the devs were really paying attention to what they were doing.

The tRPG Splicers goes one step further. In addition to self replicating robots (though they are technically more Terminator style, from the beginning of the first movie) they also infected humanity with a nano-plague that causes anything they handle that is made out of metal to attack them. No guns, no tools, no armor, no vehicles. It took alien intervention with advanced biotech to even give humans a chance. And human are still so hilariously outgunned that the setting equivalent to Hades could crush them in an instant if it hadn't thrown a snit and decided not to until the other AIs specifically asked it to.

Zero Dawn is MY game of the generation, such ambition in the game’s scope, such ingenuity in the lore and originality in its design. Guerrilla games and WW studios really outdid themselves.

Playing this game was an end to end "WTF?!?" adventure for me. I was left speechless every time a piece of backstory was revealed. At every step I tried to put the puzzle pieces together and deduce what had happened. Every single time I was proven wrong. I never thought for a second that the story would be so complex and unpredictable.

It was essentially as dead as the moon. All humans died eventually and only when the machines were hacked did more humans get grown by gaia. Not to mention faro destroying the one archive and killing everyone there.

Humour aside, that'd defeat the point of HADES; HADES' entire purpose is to be GAIA's reset button, since the rest of GAIA's protocols are strictly productive in nature, thus meaning that, in the approximate words of Travis Tate, she was "too sweet and kind" to start over from scratch. HADES was supposed to recognize when it was time to restart, and thus would, regardless of GAIA's own wishes, proceed to wipe the slate clean so that she could start over again. As for why HADES went rogue in the first place; in an event that the tribesmen named "the derangement", GAIA's protocols were severed from herself due to some mysterious outer signal, essentially turning them all into rogue AIs that only work towards their own goals, in conflict with the others, rather than in close cooperation under GAIA's moderation. GAIA's own creators could never have predicted this event, and so didn't install any failsafes for it.. and even if they did know it could happen, going by what I've said above, would it really be a good idea to do so?

I just want to mention that there indeed exists a copy of APOLLO that was spared from Ted Faro's stupidity. It is mentioned at some point that a copy of APOLLO was also installed in the colony ship that was launched out of Earth prior to the completion of Zero Dawn, which is thought to have been destroyed. I think the devs are going to use this plot device for a possible sequel, perhaps long into a possible 3rd game? The fate of the ship is hinted and rumored, but never with absolute certainty. It is possible the ship survived whatever problem they encountered and would be heading back to Earth at some point, carrying with it a set of very advanced humans. Honestly HZD is one of the best games I've played in a while, with an amazing story and characters, it definitely deserves a sequel if not an entire series.

This game's story is just... words can't describe how good it is. The hopelessness and the dread when you listen to the holograms, Aloy's longing to uncover not only her own past, but the history of the world, the pure bliss which is the ignorance of the tribes. All bundled up together with an astonishing soundtrack which perfectly underlines every single emotion. But perhaps the one thing that makes everything so great is that it feels completely natural, real and familiar. If we continue the same path we are walking atm with AI and robotics, extinction like this is assured. Everyone who played that game probably subconsciously realises this and that's why it sticks so close to everyone's heart.

The whole point is that Ted is too dumb to think that """""his""""" designs could ever backfire. Multiple people in-game repeatedly pointed out to him that the ideas were dumb (Doctor Sobeck chief among them) and he refused to listen to them, arguing his robots couldn't ever be hacked. It's also why he was so arrogant that he never had a backdoor programmed into them. In fairness, though, the programming *was* advanced enough that it took hundreds of years for the world's smartest supercomputer to crack, so they were functionally unhackable. Doesn't negate the fact that killbots consuming biomass as fuel and being able to self-replicate had to have violated more than a few ethics or human rights policies.

@@Dramatic_Gaming No. Biomass is literally anything that is biological in nature. While the machines may have been able to convert human beings into energy and raw materials to aid in the construction of more units, they weren't intended for that purpose. To argue that the conversion function poses ethical concerns and may even violate human rights would be like arguing that automobiles pose such issues because some humans are killed in automobile related instances. Actually, you'd have more ground to argue against the use of cars due to pollution, which has much more consistent short-term and long-term impacts on human life. The fact is, unless this hypothetical Von Neumann device specifically target humans, there's no real ethical concerns to be had. Now, these devices are still incredibly dangerous. There's no way (at least, I'd hope) that such devices would ever be allowed to be developed, let alone used, on Earth, especially if humanity is still confined to a single planet. But, Von Neumann devices may very well be how humanity explores the galaxy, as well as terraforms and colonizes other planets.

Just finished this game for the first time and had no spoilers. Absolutely floored by the story. I never expected a game about fighting robot dinosaurs with a bow and arrow would have one of the most gripping stories I've ever had in gaming. Very excited for Forbidden West now.

The scariest thing about this story is when I took a step back and asked myself "Are there people in the world today morally bankrupt enough to build the Faro swarm?" Then "Are there people I can name that would do what Ted did and do something equivalent to erasing all human knowledge just to satisfy his own petty idea of legacy?" The fact that the answer to both questions is resoundingly "yes" scares me more than I'm comfortable admitting.

One thing you should mention: the source of Sobek's clone, the Lightkeeper protocol. It was a program that was dropped in its infancy, during the development of Zero Dawn, which planned to propagate the knowledge and abilities of the Alphas through time, by use of clones. Basically, each of the 10 Alphas would have a clone of themselves created, which they would raise and train as their successor. This process would repeat every time one of the Alphas reached a certain age. As a result, the genetic material of each Alpha was stored, and cloning appliances were set in place, under the control of Gaia. The program was however discontinued as none of the Alphas deemed it a ethical endeavor. It however set up the possibility for Gaia to create an Alpha, a task she undertook as soon as the subroutines broke free.

You know, I really think that there should be a novel of the events of H:ZD that are spoken about in the holographic records in the game. One that would focus on Elisabet Sobek and Ted Faro and showing how the machines got out of control, as well as the development of Zero Dawn. Kinda like the Mass Effect novels, in that they don't get into the larger story since the player's differs, depending on the choices made.

"Never before have I needed something so badly and not known until I had it." Seriously, Horizon seems like a perfect fit for you to talk about, and I'd love to see Faro/Haephestus robots fight some other factions. Maybe even a video specifically about Ted Faro and Elisabet *SOBECK,* mainly because I honestly feel that Ted is one of the most despicable villains ever in a game. He thinks he's the smartest guy in the room when he's really just an idiot with deep pockets, nearly brings about the extinction of humanity *TWICE* through his own stupidity and accidents, and would rather condemn the world the Dark Ages than admit he made a mistake.

He chose to stop developing green technology in favor of war machines, pushed the development of their most dangerous features, sold weapons to warring factions and corporate warlords, hid the existence of the Chariot Glitch until it was too late for the sake of PR, then deleted APOLLO and killed the Alphas so nobody would know he caused the apocalypse. Even if you want to argue that the Faro Plague wasn't his fault, he created the situation that allowed it to happen, and his war machines were responsible for the suffering and death of millions long before the first swarm went rogue. And that's before you get into what he did to APOLLO and the Alphas, which is hard to view as anything *but* evil.
