Horizon: Zero Dawn

For anyone who wants to go for the platinum trophy, my understanding is that its pretty easy and requires 40-50 hours of time (doing all the side missions, hunter tasks, etc) BUT there is one thing you need to do that is not at all obvious and sorta from the start of the game - you have to pick the heart option in major, important conversations always.

I'm ~5 hours in and hopefully didn't fuck myself of the platinum since I just kinda picked whatever looked interesting as the choice without thinking about it. You don't need to finish the game at the highest difficulty or anything.

I bought it.. couldn't resist. Only going to take 2+ days to download it out here.

Just picked it up. Not far enough in to really critique, but holy shit is it fucking beautiful.

I hate when games force you to play tutorials like this though. Yawn.

Side note, anyway to force the camera to keep Aloy centered or on the right shoulder? I cannot fucking stand playing with left alignment and the only solution I see right now is to tap R3 to reset it. Just hoping I didn't have to do that all game.

Money is not the issue here. Me buying shittons of games and not beating 90% of them is the problem!

Just give me your games and soydollars.

Pretty much echoing what has already been said, playing on an PS Pro and a ks8000 and wow! Everything is just beautiful. Just hit level 16 and so far the story is pretty interesting and the gameplay is very well done. Figuring out weaknesses and setting up traps is very fun. Really hoping the story continues on the path it is on and we get a solid ending. This game is worth all the praises it has gotten so far.

Game has so much to do.

Tried the first hunter lodge straight out of the starting area, done the first one within 2 minutes (targetting the canisters) the next task killing them with logs I recon I could have been there for 10 hours and not done it. I laid some nice stun wire across both the valleys but I could not get them to run thorugh the valley they would go everywhere but there. Guess i need to up my game on this one.

I did the first "Cauldron" last night and, as Utnanyan mentioned above, discovered that traps should not be ignored and barely managed to beat the 'boss'. Even though I had taken one of those down previously the confines of the space were a massive handicap. I also, only after the fact, realized that I should start building up a supply of 'resist' gear and not ignore resist potions either.

I am truly loving this game. I spent the better portion of an hour just hunting non-robotic things to get the necessary bits to upgrade my carrying capacity and, in the process, came across new quests.

Just purchased but, fuck, I haven't quite finished Nioh yet. Nor has my new TV arrived (4K HDR QLED). I feel like I should really wait to play but I am a weak, weak man and the weekend is coming...
