Why You Wouldn't Survive Horizon's Faro Plague

Deviating from zombies and viruses, we discuss a robot uprising by the rogue Chariot line that wiped out the planet so horrible, it was BASICALLY considered a plague for how the mechanical menace spread like wildfire across the globe. Today is PART ONE of WYWS Horizon Zero Dawn!

Honestly the Faro Plague is one of the most brutal and terrifying apocalypses in fictiom

[notsohumblebee]

One of the things that made horizon so unique to me was that they knew they couldn’t save the current humans. There was just no way. They were faced with something that was far too ravenous for them to deal with, so instead of saving the humans, they just tried to preserve them.

[carldooley]

To be fair, no one survived the Faro plague. That was the whole point of Zero Dawn

[Error-ketf]

The Faro Plague is genuinely one of my favorite apocalypse scenario. It's just so grand in scale, and yet so smartly written. Add onto it the unique Aesthetic of tribal humanity rebooted and you've got yourself a world you genuinely want to preserve.

The best part of this game was how you slowly start to piece the clues together as you go along, trying to come up with ways humanity could've survived, and slowly realizing that it didn't. Humanity literally started over from scratch.

Reminds me of a history podcast I was listening to about the Cold War, which posited: "It is worth considering the point at which our species becomes so good at conflict and warfare that we develop the ability to destroy ourselves."

The lore in this game is a masterpiece.

[ikizbarabum]

couple small things, the idea wasn't that the robots would run out of fuel, it was that after about 60 years or so, GAIA, the AI that was in fact Zero Dawn, would be able to decrypt the encryption and deactivate the robots permanently, the only reason why they didn't do that themselves is because they had 15 months left, where the decryption would take 60 years.

[BlackVulcan]

I forgot how depressingly beautiful Horizon's story was...

Its a wonder because of the setting and dinosaurs, but the back story was depressingly entertaining as it unfolded.

[michaeledmunds]

Meanwhile, many years in the future: "Wow, that's a scary looking robot. I'm going to shoot it with my bow."

[gorkhawarlord]

imagine if Mass effect Reapers comes to harvest earth because the cycle is about to be complete and all they find is a barren planet filled with FARO robots?

[ZigZag-mwir]

The Zero Dawn project wasn’t just waiting, as it was an Artificial Intelligence, Gaia was able to break the encryption on the Faro Plague causing them to shut down. That is why all Hades needed was a signal to reactivate them, as they were the main tool to restart the biosphere it Gaia made a mistake.

Why you wouldn’t survive Resistance's Chimera Invasion.

*looks at phone with a weird face*
*puts my phone to sleep*
*google suddenly opens*
Google: hello, how may i help you?
Me: STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME

[bmouch]

"You wouldn't survive the Faro Plague!"
Yea, I think that was a major plot point in the game. Like the whole point of ZD and Enduring Victory was because you wouldn't survive.

[tidela]

Ted Faro was an absolute devil. we already knew that from the first game, but somehow, the second one just made him even worse

[thekiller]

Why you wouldn’t survive Terminator’s Judgement Day

[sleepyboi]

Horizon bots: *ZUCCS LIFE*
The people: But why? Why would you do that?
Bots: because screw you

[deinonychus]

That game was insanely amazing. Loved every minute of it, and the DLC was fantastic too. Fair to say I wouldn't last a day in either the apocalypse or the new earth.

[Dimitris]

This litteraly happened with the AI of Ghandi in Civ 5. A small mistake in his programming and he literally went on a nuke spree.
