The setting of the fight is so good too. It was such a cool moment all around.

Truly a masterpiece. I absolutely love that the map tells a story... Free exploration gives hints about what happened. I think I've never seen that on a game.

I've got 6 hours put aside tonight for a good play session. I'm currently 13 hours in, just hit level 19 and I've only completed 6 main story quests and 3 side missions so far. This game does a tremendous job of distracting me for hours at a time.
There's so much stuff to do that I never quite know what to do next. I've already upgraded most of my pouches to the top level, bought all the weapons available (for the time being), did the relevant training missions and bought 6 different armour types. Even after all that I've only uncovered around 15% of the overall map.
I'm a bit of a completionist when playing open-world games so looking at my list of jobs and the amount of icons on my map is pure heaven for me.
Even sitting in work right now I'm making a list of side quests, collectables and upgrades I can work towards tonight. This game really has its claws in me deep.

Yup, I think this was a simple design oversight. Personally, I realised what was happening a couple of sentences into the lore book and noped the fuck out. Finished reading it after the quest without much being spoiled, still kind of a bummer though.
So I'm guessing you'd recommend skipping it until the quest line is complete then?

I certainly do. After reading the whole thing, I'm pretty much 100% certain the lore book is meant to be collected after the questline is finished.
Cool. I'm heading there tonight so thanks for the heads up.
First thing I did too.
It depends on what you want, I was eager to know more about the story so I wanted to get to places quickly, after finishing the story I started doing loads of side stuff and taking my time with the world so often I'd just run without a mount.
Still it's a convenience to have a mount be there whenever you want one instead of having to find one and then override it.

While the story did grab me right away, it does pick up quite a bit after the start.

Came across a hunting ground mission that was really too hard for my level, had things like shoot off a weapon from a big machine to kill other machines.
But this introduced me to that mechanic which although I now recollect from game play vids, I hadn't considered whilst playing. It is so damn good though! Hitting the weapon with tear damage to knock it off, then picking it up and wrecking shop feels amazing!

Am I the only one who bought a PS4 Pro just for this game?
Put in 4 hours tonight and would have kept playing if I didn't have to go to sleep...love it so far! Can't wait until I get a 4KTV w/ HDR to really enjoy the full experience.

Lol I feel like I ruined how epic that story quest would have been. I just wanted to get to the vantage point not trigger that event. But it was amazing.
It's not really an event honestly, and it isn't even unique to that location. Unless it's the first time you fight that enemy.
Same, but that vantage point was just bugging me being the only collectable over there so had to go get it.
Yeah, it's pretty awe-inspiring how large they are. First time I saw one in the distance, I turned back right away and took a long detour.

It called an opinion and I'm so sorry for having one . 'I'm' not finding the game that much fun to play and it's not clicking for 'me'. It's very much like how I felt with Shenmue - A technical marvel, but rather boring to play, but you play through it just to see the amazing world on offer. Pretty much the same for this game
I love this game, my girlfriend thinks its dumb, she was mocking it the entire time till I finally logged off so she could play skyrim. She did the same thing with skyrim until she tried playing it and now she's addicted to skyrim. She mocks all the games I play and my assumption is as soon as she actually tries horizon, she will be hooked. At this point though, I don't think ill push her to, as I already lose a lot of game time to her playing skyrim. I am out of town a lot and rarely get to play games at home as it is.

I remember taking pictures in The Witcher III because I think the game is beautiful. This makes it look like a PS3 game, I'm in disbelief most of the time.
First thing is to get the skill that slows down time while jumping. Best and most used skill for me.

Evenly across the board at first. Then I focused on the Brave skill tree.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I have a small question. I did the quest early in the game where the quest giver increased the damage of my spear, are there more of those later in the game or was that a one and done deal ?
Because my game play is leaning more towards stealth and sneak/critical melee attacks, so I'd like to know whether I'll be getting more DPS from it later.
Came across the first of these last night. I literally followed the thing around for a few minutes, the scale of the game is just amazing. I think I'm a good 12 hours into the game and I'm not that far from the starting zone, this game is going to take me a good 50+ hours before I'm even done with the main story at this rate lol.

Just beat it. 30 hours and 8 minutes. I'd say there's another 15-25 hours of gameplay still if I wanted to do more.
I'm glad I stopped messing with the sidequests when I did. Way too many of them were just detective mode bs. The story missions really amped up about halfway through, they were very good. I had little interest in the story for the first bit, but then it got very interesting as well.
Cool story, great graphics, fun combat. 8.5/10

What level were you at when you beat it
Aaand now it's 1:17am and I need to sleep lol.
Game is gorgeous. The intro was well done and gets the player on Aloy's side very quickly. Only a few hours in but I can see I'm going to love the combat just after fighting a few scrappers. The ropecaster makes the most satisfying sound when you land it.

I never got the healing ones til end of the game as you can craft potions. I played on hard and died a bit but I didn't ever think I need the healing bag
That's what I've been doing. Having trouble with the Nora section because everything is mother's something and I don't know the differences yet

I haven't got very far yet, but this sounds really exciting. The combat is really fun but I've only just got the ropecaster and slingshot so I've barely had a chance to try them out yet.

Oh that's a shame. I also disagree. The Division, while fun for a while with friends, was very boring. The enemies were always the same and if you ranked up, the enemies ranked up too, effectively making the game completely the same, all the time.
HZD has a great world, but also great gameplay and a well told story.
