...I already did it when forbidden west released on PS...

But I kinda want to take a week off work and just drown in this game again.
- I bought it on PS4 because I was surprised it was a dual release. With no plans to buy a PS5, and if they release the DLCs for PC, I'd totally buy this again and beat it on my PC that is more capable than the PS5.
  
  I'm in the same boat. Can't play Burning Shores because I got the game for my PS4.
  
  It was a dual release because Forbidden West was developed for PS4, not the PS5. Essentially, the PS5 version is a port with some upgrades to take advantage of the hardware.
  
  The DLC was developed post-release, and with the PS5 out and ready, Guerilla made the choice to take advantage and do things in the DLC which the PS4 couldn't handle. Hence it wasn't possible to make the DLC a dual release same as the base game.
  
  But the PC version will be a port of Complete Edition, not the original base game. The PC port was announced in the Complete Edition release trailer.
  
  Meaning the DLC doesn't need to be "released" for PC. Like with Frozen Wilds and the PC version of Zero Dawn, Burning Shores will simply be part of the PC version of Forbidden West.
Fucking finally
Meh, HFW was 100% a step down.

They added climbing to the engine and somehow made that dumb story even dumber while adding a ton of farming and time fillers.
- Agreed. I couldn't wait for it to come out as the first one is one of my favourite games of all time. Didn't finish it because it was so boring. They removed the whistling for some reason, so now sneak kills are almost impossible. Overcomplicated equipment. And they added some stupid chess like mini game, because every open world game has to have its own Gwent now.
  
  Strongly agree on the overcomplicated equipment and useless chess game. They added a lot thinking that it would be an improvement, but for me it's only unnecessary bloating
- When aloy threatened to kill an innocent guard just doing his job I wanted her to be arrested but she got away with everything because she's a special princess and she will never stop reminding everyone of that.
  
  I liked aloy in the first game. She was inquisitive , sharp, and kind. In the second game she really needed an ego check.
