There is a lot of stuff that's random or comes up in very specific situations. I did a sweet parkour 360 twist move running over a boulder once and tried to reproduce it but the move did not come back.
Most people don't use melee. Try sliding and attacking.
They're mostly stealth kills and free running/clambering stuff Aloy only ever uses to get to Banuk statues.

I see you are new to gaming. All this has been done generations ago in the same and or different ways.
Your own words sum it up: Climbing a tower to unlock the map (albeit a moving one) - Far Cry.
Are you saying a stealth game would be less original because stealth and stealth kills have already been done by MGS and Tenchu? Come on dude, most things have already been done before. It's the way they are being executed that matters. Most things that Horizon does, it does very well.
Do you believe that Gears of War invented the cover system?

my favourite animation is when she's riding on a machine and using the bow. the way she moves her legs to turn around is great. i can't think of another game where the character moves about like that on a mount.

25 hours in and I am still near Meridian. Just unlocked my second 'tower' and so far it still feels refreshing in every encounter or area I am in. Absolute marvel of a game. I am level 30 and I still got a Level 12 main quest.
I am about the same in terms of hours, into the game, but I haven't even found my second tower yet!!!
As for the quest level vs your level, I don't think that being over leveled for quests is an issue at all, as you don't actually get more powerful through leveling (you get more powerful through mods)

Ah, I see. That helps. Judging by the amount I still have to do I am probably going to put another 25 hours into it.
Reading the thread I shouldn't put tear mods into the ropecaster? Why not? Is handling the better option?

Are there any in depth spoiler discussions out there I can read/watch?

I love me some spoilercast too, shame every major outlet have moved on to Zelda and mass effect now.
Only one I found from Jeff Cannta https://anchor.fm/s/98f0bc?at=55711
There's plenty on youtube, but I guess it's how you define and rank "critics"

This is pretty much where I'm at. I don't know if I've ever been so ready and willing to jump back in. If there was story DLC today for $20, I'd drop everything else to play it.
I just thought it was absolutely fantastic across the board. Small nitpicks (that could mostly be patched whenever they get around to it) aside, broadly speaking, all areas of the game are quite good.
But if you're not wearing the shadow stalwart heavy, idk what you're even doing

I fought and killed my first Stormbird last night, but there were two Chargers running around trying to make my life more miserable so I corrupted them so they'd fight each other (and the Stormbird). Then one of the little bastards got the finishing blow on the bird so it doesn't count it as a kill in my stats. Stupid robot ram!
On the other hand, that was one of the most fun fights yet and I got some great photos. I love this game.

If it has tear it rips off the armour and the animal gets lose.

Agreed. Even when maxed out with mods pushing the boundaries, HZD looks better, at least on the PRO.

Almost worth starting another playthrough for =)
Am still waiting to trigger the last mission, as I do not want the game to end 
Going around, finding quests and outposts I never visited. Tonight I will probably check Hunting grounds to try and do them all, as well as collect all Metal Flowers.
Maybe the Corrupted zones and checking out what I'm missing for the plat too, now that I think about it...

Almost wish I could erase the game from my mind and start it again haha
I have Andromeda as a priority now, I expect to buy a 4K tv really soon so I'm saving a full replay for when that happens... but I can't stop thinking about this game. -_-
I don't have big enough balls to jump off a rappel point into water.
YO. How do you even do that one at 0:13 with the Scrapper? Looked like a Silent Strike counterattack of sorts? But goddamn, man. It's so much fun watching an animation reel, especially this one because they're all so amazing.
They fixed "Robbing the Rich." I can finally finish it, thank fuck.

I finally beat the game last night and I have a few questions....
So why is Aloy a clone of Elizabet? I never caught that part of the story. Also did anybody else find the ending a little...underwhelming? The final boss was kind of a push over. Wheres the giant mech from the pre-release trailer? I kept waiting for that guy to lumber out of the wilderness

I might have forgotten to be honest. I work a lot so I usually only get a few hours to play.
Anyone else experiencing Stormbird just flying on 1 stop even when enraged?
When I destroy its chest it just suddenly fly in 1 spot without attacking. Tried it just now on 3 Stormbirds.
Basically you can shoot it to death and it won't budge.
If you go close like 10ft from its location it will attack again.

Happened to me a couple of times, it's like you blow out some parts that she's trying to access and doesn't know what to do.
