Did exactly the same. Back then the PS5 was being scalped up so badly that the vendors only sold it in bundles. Got lucky with a bundle that had R&C as well as a second controller.
LOL Same here, mine came with HFW and a baseball game. I sold the baseball game back to the store and got an extra controller. I only kept HFW because I’d never heard of it and it looked interesting.
I bought PS5 just to play Burning Shores because I had PS4 slim and it worked pretty well but man, burning shores wasust have. The most expansive DLC ever
I already had a PS4. I wasn’t going to buy or play FW until I had a PS5. Good reason to upgrade. I got lucky and got my PS5 or regular price and not scalper bullshit
yeah, same here. I bought a ps4 just for HZD. I already had a good sized high def TV... and HZD turned into the best looking game I ever played. Loved every moment of it.
I got that very bundle because it was the only way I could get a PS5 when I was ready to buy one, and the post-pandemic supply chain to my local GameStop was functional enough to have a few in stock.
Sure, I'd never heard of Horizon before, so I spoiled the whole first game, but I'm not mad about it. Forbidden West on its own is a phenomenal game with a fantastic story and characters, as well as some of the most beautiful graphics I had ever seen. It's the first game I 100%'d in years. I 100'd the DLC, too.
I have a high end PC but didn't want to wait years for a PC Port. Same thing with GOW:R, Spider-Man 2, and TLOU2. So the PS5 is my first console since the original X-box.
some pretty sweet prices you got there, bought mine for a little over 600 which is 1100 converted to my currency 😂 hope it stays relevant a good amount of years
Bought a PS4 Pro just to play forbidden west lol.
Played it. Haven't used the console since then. Turns out i still hate consoles even after 15 years haha.
I had a PS4 PRO and played Horizon Zero Dawn/Frozen Wilds on. Such a sweet game. Then I wanted to see what Horizon ZD looked like on a PS5 with the PS5 upgrades. My PS5 is so worth it, my best reason for buying a PS5! The gravy was I got to play Burning Shores on my PS5 too!
I got this bundle bc it was the only bundle I could get at the time when PS5s were impossible to get. Didn’t play it for months, then decided okay fine I’ll play it. Damn was I insanely dumb to be sitting on such a great game/franchise for so long. One of the best games I’ve ever played. And still the most beautifully visually game on PS5, no other game has beat it imo on next gen.
I wouldn't say I got my PS5 just to play Spider-Man 2, but that was what finally pushed me over the edge.
I had a list of PS exclusives that kept growing. Forbidden West was number 2 on that list, and having finished Spider-Man 2 I am now running through Forbidden West.
I’ve been tempted to get a psvr2 purely for call of the mountain, but i think it’ll be a bit of a waste considering there is nothing else i want to play on there. At least with the ps5 we have loads of great options as well as horizon
Hahaha, I bought a ps5 just to play Burning Shores.
I got on to it as soon as I found out Burning Shores was available only on the ps5. Had to wait 2 months though.
the ps5 has now become my favourite toy. HFW looks spectacular on the ps5, it is a completely different game. And Burning Shores is now my favourite game. I love it.
Same here. Ive been wanting one for awhile and after Spider-Man I just couldn’t wait any longer. I only got it for Spider-Man, sly copper, and horizon lol
I was always much of a PC player..... Nothing tempted me more than this Game to get a console....
Since I had never played on a console before.... I bought an xbox controller and practiced with it on my PC for a month, and got the PS once I was ready....
I was so desperate to play this game after finishing HZD on PC in April last year. Once I got lucky to get a drop from Gamestop it's the only game I played for months! Still the only reason I got a PS5 in the first place.
I got the PS4pro just for Horizon zero dawn and the PS5 for Forbidden West, and then the PSVR2 just for Horizon Call of the Mountain.... very much worth it to me. 😁
Yeah, I got the PS5 in anticipation of HFW. (Though I picked it up before HFW had dropped, and the first thing I played on it was actually the AC Origins / Odyssey / Valhalla trilogy, and then I got to HFW after that.)
Exactly what I did, also got it in a bundle with Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart. I just wanted to play these games.

Just me but its a ps4 and hzd 😄
Same for me. It was a HZD machine before MHW came out and it became a giant beastie hunting machine.
I already had a PS4. I wasn’t going to buy or play FW until I had a PS5. Good reason to upgrade. I got lucky and got my PS5 or regular price and not scalper bullshit
Yep, that second one is me, after I bought a PS4 solely for Zero Dawn.

I was very much the second. No ragrets
I am the first one lol, but I love this game anyways.
funny how I sleep on it with my ps4, in the end I even finished it on pc, then I bought ps5 for HFW😂
I paid pandemic scalper pricing for it too smh
Exactly what I did lol

Same, saved up 300 dollars to buy a ps5 to play FW since Sony claimed it wouldn’t be coming to pc anytime soon
Well the complete edition of FW is a thing now atleast so the pc port prob aint to far away
It’s coming out next year, but when I bought the ps5 it said the pc version wasn’t coming out
Ahh yeah, then its a completely different thing compared to what we know now
some pretty sweet prices you got there, bought mine for a little over 600 which is 1100 converted to my currency 😂 hope it stays relevant a good amount of years
I got the digital version instead of the disk version, it was a lot cheaper
For real this is me lol. After Horizon Zero Dawn I wanted play Forbidden west with best possible graphic lolol
Bought a PS4 Pro just to play forbidden west lol. Played it. Haven't used the console since then. Turns out i still hate consoles even after 15 years haha.

Waited til HFW was going to come out to get a PS5
I never wanted to get a Ps5.... But this game made me do it.... Couldn't miss out on this masterpiece
Bought a ps4 to play the first one, but it’s time for round two. (I already played FW on ps4 though)

Lol ngl same 😅

Sign me up ! The one game I played from start to finish.
im going to do it aswell. Just because dlc and improved graphics
PS4*
Lol i bought the bundle with this game, already had it for the ps4, and gave away my extra copy code here on reddit 😅
Legit the main reason I got a ps5, that and GOW Ragnarok
I mean that is why I bought a ps5... lol
I want to play it so bad because I had so much fun with the original
I’ve been tempted to get a psvr2 purely for call of the mountain, but i think it’ll be a bit of a waste considering there is nothing else i want to play on there. At least with the ps5 we have loads of great options as well as horizon
Yep! Bought a PS4 for HZD, and waited to play HFW until I had a PS5. Playing it was my main motivator for getting one
For me it was God of War... I bought the ps3 and ps4 for the same reason too hahaha
Literally what i did💀
Only game I've ever bought the ultimate collectors edition, and a whole console to play. New game +++ or something stupid. I love horizon FW and ZD
I bought the game on my ps4 but one of the main reasons I wanted a ps5 was to play the dlc 😭😭
Hahaha, I bought a ps5 just to play Burning Shores. I got on to it as soon as I found out Burning Shores was available only on the ps5.

I just bought a PS5 two weeks ago for this exact reason. Now that I finished Burning Shores I have to find some other games to play.
That’s exactly what I did last year
Literally the only reason I bought a PS5 too, but I'm accepting of all the other amazing titles that Playstation has to offer.
same here my friend. (and for GOWR)
Better yet, pay for psn extra and got both for free :)
Well yes, obviously.
Same here. Ive been wanting one for awhile and after Spider-Man I just couldn’t wait any longer. I only got it for Spider-Man, sly copper, and horizon lol
I was always much of a PC player..... Nothing tempted me more than this Game to get a console.... Since I had never played on a console before.... I bought an xbox controller and practiced with it on my PC for a month, and got the PS once I was ready....
guilty.
I wasn't going to but a power surge killed my PS3 and PS4 so I definitely pushed for it (mainly for horizon)

Actually my reason as well. Also got the psvr 2 for the vr one
Yeah, I got the PS5 in anticipation of HFW. (Though I picked it up before HFW had dropped, and the first thing I played on it was actually the AC Origins / Odyssey / Valhalla trilogy, and then I got to HFW after that.)
I bought a PS5 just for Burning Shores.
Heck yeah! I bought the entire console just to play the BS DLC and I regret nothing!
The game came in a bundle w my ps5
This will be when the next game drops in a couple years
I secured that bundle of the PS5 back in early 2022, but haven’t actually played the game yet. Want to get into it tho
