Horizon Forbidden West Reaction GIFs Are Just the Best

I love these. It's starting to be something I look forward to when a PS release comes around...
Now, could Gran Turismo do memes too? lol

@AFCC Here’s hoping.

I love the work they do with these gifs. More gaming companies should make them.

These are glorious

I love Aloy's facial expressions in the game whenever anybody starts talking about the Sun God or All-Mother.

Hell of a game so far!

I find these gifs super cringe when they do them to be honest.

@HeeHo this is the problem with some "gamers" nowadays... they are either whining about the smallest of things or way to serious about everything.... I don't see cringe, just animators are having fun while making these. Plus they are well animated too, so they are neat to look at.

You can just see Aloy's disgust in that first gif.

Models are getting crazy nowadays.

Love the quality of these, but am I getting old or is the only gif where I recognize the original gif it's mimicking is the Sylens one.

@Snick27 Yeah, why can't post apocalyptic tribal girls do some basic upkeep? Maybe an eyebrow pluck or a trip to the salon? Hasn't Aloy ever heard of makeup tattoos?

@rpg2000 They were fun at first but with every new release they feel more forced.
Glad you can enjoy them tho.

@rpg2000 no no noooo! Everything is cringe, I tellz ya.

@Snick27
Her been more attractive serves what purpose?
Make the simps happy or something....

@djlard you couldn’t finish a great game because the female protagonist isn’t beautiful enough in your opinion? Did you finish God Of War because Kratos’s pecks be pippin’?

The last one looks like millenials trying to do tik toks 😂 sylens is epic tho.

@djlard
Ah... Judging game by how hot their protagonists are...
No wonder then that you're a fan of the shallow Assassin's Creed games lol

@rpg2000 If there's a problem, it's more likely the unchallenged impulse to call people 'whiny' for having another opinion. Do you really not see the irony here?

@Zuljaras TBH, besides oversexaulization, it is the norm for female lead characters in action and/or adventure games to not have any romantic relationships at all, and if they do to, it's usually not of the opposite sex anyway.

So yeah, I haven't yet played the sequel,but I doubt you have to worry about Aloy getting a boyfriend or a husband 😅.

@djlard @Snick27 absolute trash tier comments, fellas.

@commentlife Nah dude they are entitled to their opinions. And in this case I agree. Doesn't break the game or anything but majority of videogame protagonists are hot buffed out dudes you'd see on the yearly fireman calendar or androgynous enough to look great in a dress. Nowadays western devs go out of their way to make female leads less attractive because of the negative press about women being oversexualised in games that was going on almost 2 decades ago. The tomb raider team got hit hard as I recall. No one wants to deal with winey "how dare you make a hot girl you perv" comments anymore except the Japanese studios they still don't give a ***** about the western ***** thankfully.

If i'm forced to look at a hot dudes ass in skin tight gear (damn u sexy snake). I'd very much like to see hot females do the same too.

@AdamNovice And most dudes that have these high standards are always bottom tier themselves and have never dated at all, let alone close to the unrealistic standard they have.

soo..what you're saying is that these guys who haven't been able to get a date their entire lives, who escape to the worlds of videogames like we all on here do are also not allowed to interact with attractive girls in said escape? And they're the problem? lol

@z0d15g0d
It's not about what they do, escape from reality or what not, I don't care really but when they come to comment section and their only complaint is to whine about the lead character been unattractive, its just sad. So would you think there's a few % of gamers who didn't buy Returnal cause the lead looks old and has zero sexual attractiveness (lack clothes, huge chest etc) If that's what they want they can go play some eastern mmo

@Uromastryx I don't think that's sad at all. In fact it's a testament to the hard work the studio has put in that the only issue some gamers have is the fact that the lead is unattractive. Different view points I guess. Now if she was also designed with the idea of her being attractive none of these "sad" comments would be on here at all. You should also know that it takes more effort to make Aloys "unique" features than its does to make an eastern mmo character so in a sense you could say they went out of their way to ensure she wasn't viewed as attractive.

@z0d15g0d The problem is when said dudes get upset that not every women is some arbitrary set standard of beauty.

And part of the reason these guys can't get a date their entire lives is because of these weird expectations they have. It's off putting to real women.

Watching the dancing one spooked me a little until i realized i was not hearing voices in my head. It was hearing music , The Macarena.

How do you create a gif?

@Richnj That arbitrary standard of beauty is the standard all around though. From your instas to tictocks, pintrests and youtubes to their counterparts the world over, only difference is the perception that women are in control of the content. All social media is showing is how to be your "most attractive self" Any intelligent person knows these are all fake but its seen as okay as its a business. Hot girls in games were attacked because it was the stigma of nerdy guys who would never get a date who designed them and to society that was unacceptable. The majority of devs at the time where dudes who were ostracized and bullied so of course they were a group that would cave under pressure. Unfortunately that nonsense stuck so now even though your thinking is on some level correct, to think negatively of someone who wants their protagonist in a game they paid for to be attractive is also a problem that needs to be addressed. The expectation of "real" women is also something that needs addressing, I think you should say western or westernised women cause most women live in the rest of the world and i've heard some different opinions from women in my time. Quick question, if every man in the US and UK decided they did not want to be in the army anymore do you believe women would step up and say "yea, I'll fill the gap and defend my country" or the general response will be "stop being a p***y and get back to work"? Willingness to be on the frontline and dying in some war is an unrealistic expectation of men but no one says anything cause society expects men to just be that guy. Videogames offer us an opportunity to test social constructs and I feel we should be more explorative and less dismissive regardless of the stance.

@BoldAndBrash Main character is the only one, who you look at thru whole game. And, take it or not, you must have some sypathies for him to have motivation playing the game.

@AhmadSumadi actually if main character is unsymphatic to me I rather avoid that game completely (Returnal for example). But Horizon I gave up, because of game mechanics.

Lol, I'm a sucker for this kind of silly stuff!

@z0d15g0d

You started off with;

"If i'm forced to look at a hot dudes ass in skin tight gear (damn u sexy snake). I'd very much like to see hot females do the same too."

and ended with;

"Videogames offer us an opportunity to test social constructs and I feel we should be more explorative and less dismissive regardless of the stance."

I'm going to take that as win.

@djlard
Didn't like Aloy all that much in HZD, but it's 100% a million times better than the shallow and terribly written degenerates you get to play in AC.
A character can grow on you, that's where you get those sympathies. You're solely judging it by how she looks...

@BoldAndBrash Of course I'm, because I look at her in game. I'm not living with her at home...

BTW Altair, Desmond and Ezio are hundered percent better than any Aloy... and yes, the rest of AC characters are completely forgetable.

@Richnj You taking that as a win means you clearly did not understand what I was talking about.

My god I love these so much. The god of war ones and now these? If only they would do this for every Major sony game.

aloy actually cute , she just frowns so much and even when she tries to smile in the last gif she’s still frowning

@HeeHo
wdym fun at first? the game just released. and it only happens with ps games. why you got to be so cringe about it? your reaction seems forced tbh.

@Zuljaras why do you hate romance lol

@z0d15g0d "Willingness to be on the frontline and dying in some war is an unrealistic expectation of men but no one says anything cause society expects men to just be that guy."

my guy you're comparing the standards of war to beauty. you sound ridiculous.

@Zuljaras i mean it adds to characters having relationships lol. I don't mind it unless it's forced and doesn't seem realistic.

@middyone TBH I don't care enough to explain bruh.

@HeeHo TBH that's such a cop out
