You Legolas now!
So, those two
edit: nevermind, found it.
corrupted rockbreakers... Went and got a Ravager cannon and walked back to the corrupted zone. Shot away most of their health and then it was pretty easy the rest of the way. Although I would've been in deep shit without the Shield Weaver armor 
Now, where is that last side quest that's supposed to be close by?

might not be as easy to program as it sounds. might mess with other systems. and tbf, i don't think all beast should be mountable.
they should give us the chocobos tho
amazing, looks like you have a filter on this
Long legs or ravagers for sure man, let me ride that into battle like Avatar
I think it must have been done for game balance reasons, but I'd love to have ridden a thunderjaw into a bandit camp.
Let me fix some of this for you. You seem to play a lot of Far Cry (I do too!) There may even be earlier references than what I'm adding:
My point is that most of these are common and basic elements that have been around for a long time. I wouldn't put it all on theft any more than a car steal's it's wheels from a wagon. What it did do is put all of these together and executed them WELL.
And it's cool that you don't love it as everyone has their opinion. It sounds like you play a LOT of open world games and it wasn't as new to you. I loved it but I love all open world games. It was nice to see a strong story attached to one (some kinda phone it in.)

What do we want from an expansion as far as mechanics go?
I'd love a new tier of weapons but I don't know how that'd work. Maybe just four mod slots, same ammo? Small inherent boost to all stats over the Shadow version?
A fourth skill tree would be a dream come true, also. And new game plus obviously.

Cheers for all the helpful info thus far, Gaf. Got another query for y'all regarding what removing armour/components actually does.
I know it disables certain machine attacks/features, but does it up the DPS on exposed areas?
Does it also up how quickly a status effect will apply? Or is just pure damage?
Spanks!

What's wrong with execution? I found the game quite cohesive and steady (I think I'm confusing the words a bit, sorry).

Yeah I just finished that mission yesterday and that's what stated so far.
By removing metal plates you may expose the main body, to which you inflict 1x damage, or a weak point (damage multiplier varies)
Status effect application doesn't​ seem to be faster on weakpoints
for me? nothing. horizon is my favorite game this gen and overall one of my favorite games in a long time.
i was trying to make sense of the statement that poster made "i can't get over how this game steals stuff from other games" then in the next sentence they said "i loved zelda". to me that didn't make sense because BOTW literally uses a bunch of stuff from other games. so it had to be something other than horizon using elements from other games that was preventing it from liking it or whatever, so i asked if it was "maybe its execution?", i'm as confused as you are.
hell, same poster made a list of things horizon supposedly steals from a bunch of titles and half of it is stuff BOTW does as well. so it just added to my confusion. nevermind the fact that the things they mentioned didn't even originate in those titles or even this gen.

Question: are there a lot of closed spaces like in the beginning of the game? I get motion sickness when navigating in tight indoor areas.
There seems to be this weird "either or" thing going on between Horizon and Zelda. Like a big fan of one has to for some reason talk mad shit about the other. They can BOTH be great games in their own way. That is allowed.

Went on a nighthike to the far west, there's a lumb on the map. Suddenly got a message that the the game will reload if i wander further, though i couldn't. Kinda weird.
You can't go past map boundaries.

I get that. But i would rather have a invisible or geographic wall.

Define "tight"? I don't remember anything truly narrow in the beginning, and as for the rest of the game, it does not get worse at least (I think).

Guys did I miss the second power cell? I just
and still have one.Yes or no is fine.
edit:I need five of them it seems?!? I have one so far..
What should I do to collect them? Can I go back to those places?
beat the behemoth on the sun ring

Haha, this takedown reminds me of Legolas elephant takedown in Return of the King.

Was itching to play a bit more so decided to knock out the hunting lodge trials I'd skipped (had just got blazing suns on the three at the first site). I just dropped it to easy so I could power through it. Only one that really frustrated me was the one with having to tie down and critical hit 3 glinthawks. Rest were fine.
So now I'm done with the game. With that I'm done with all errands and side quests sans the ancient armory one. Not willing to bother with that as I have no clue which two power cells I missed, and probalby missed ones that are a pain to get back to.
A bit over 55 hours played and easily my game of the generation as I've said a few times.. Can't wait for some DLC. Hope it's something meaningful and not just more hunter trials or something crummy.
Trophy wise just missing the one for getting the armor, knocking down all the dummies (also something not worth bothering with me) and missed a couple random ones (kill every type of acquisition enemy and scanning every machine type--no idea which I missed there, especially scanning since I scanned a ton). Feels lame to be that close to platinum, but I've never much cared to go after them if there's anything un-fun involved and those would require a lot of tracking around to find what I missed.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Just because one game uses ideas and mechanics doesnt mean any other game is forbidden from using similar mechanics.

Sunhi you really put in the work when it comes to this game.
So many awesome gifs .
Same i just love the design so much and normally i don't care about figure/statues .

I'm pretty much where you are. I got the platinum, I don't know if I'll go back and 100% though. It's just a bunch a sidequests and errands.
Uncharted had its expansion/stand-alone dlc revealed at PSX and if Horizon is gonna have an do the same route then I image it will be revealed at the same place.

What the actual fuck. You must do something like this professionally.
Is Horizon even getting any DLC? Is it confirmed?
I choose to believe this didn't really happen and was all created in Sunhi's basement CGI lab.

The credits are rolling. You know that feeling when you're content, satisfied that a challenge has been overcome, but at the same time sad that a journey, an epic adventure has come to it's end?
What a game. This one was really special.

Dino wars. Aloy holds the line with overridden dinos to protect a settlement from a charge of corrupted thunderjaws.
