Damn, I think i missed the first audio log, because the "press triangle to listen" was not triggered. I couldn't return to it, after listening to the next one, because it was behind the metal door, which is closed after going through it.
Can I go back later?
Is there a trophy for every audio log?
Hope i did not fucked up and can not get every audio log anymore.

Sitting at work, not working, can't wait to get home and play this game. Been a while since i've had this feeling.

I haven't gotten to spend much time with Horizon yet, but I'm really goddamn impressed, which is a pleasant surprise considering that I was still feeling wary that Horizon would be my kind of game even after the reviews came out. I have such a love/hate relationship with open world games, as the lack of focus usually really annoys me, often at the sacrifice of pacing and story. I'm pleased that Horizon has a really strong narrative throughline, and the pacing is great thus far. There has been some genuine nuance with the dialogue and character dynamics, I'm pleasantly surprised and intrigued by it all. The game runs beautifully too on OG PS4, it's legit fucking sorcery.
More than anything else, the absolute highlight for me is the level design, which is completely organic and naturalistic. It's not too cluttered, and not too sparse. I've played a lot of open world games/RPGs over the years, and I don't think I'm being too hyperbolic when I say this is the most impressed I've been. I love the story telling through level design, too, I spent waaaaaay too long in the prologue.

Also, re: Rost, this is me:

a miracle, a child in a video that is well acted, especially the end interacting with Rost. 'Follow!'

Hmm that's a good tip, but I think I already rebooted during one of my rages this afternoon.

Does the Hunting Ground quest not get a checkmark once you complete it? I got a gold on all 3 trials.

Any tips to playing with no HUD? I always play with a HUD but this game is so beautiful I don't want to cover anything up. How will I know where my health is at? Does it basically turn it into hard mode?

Excited to try this tonight. I loved the world building of Witcher 3, but the game play caused me to bail on it. If this has even half the world building of Witcher 3 but better game play mechanics I'm sure I'll love it
You can just rest your thumb on the touch pad to temporarily bring the hud back.

Just put the health portion on dynamic.
You can access all of it later, no worries

That's just like your opinion man.
Set your hud to dynamic and it disappears and only reappers to give you damage, health, do notification. Then disappears again.
I think this is relative to where you travel to within the map. I stumbled upon some HUGE robos far before 8 hours. Quietly backed outta there, too.

It's pissing me off by seeing it not show up as completed lol
Haha, these kind of comments are pretty cool. When crow is this delicious, it's a win/win.
Same here. Has anyone tried setting it as their Active Quest while completing the trials?
There aren't enough big robots in main quest. They reuse the some multiple times while they use some only once. One of the big ones infact from near the end of the game you don't even have to fight since you can sneak past it like the other robots before in the same level and you are better of doing that.
Can someone help me withthese 2?
A) is it possible to advance the time in this game (like rest or something)?
B) I cannot find any weapons better than the starting ones. All merchants sell the same stuff. I still use my main starting bow and i am level 15... what am i doing wrong?

yeaaaaaah that was super annoying to me too.
Also, the beasts were surprisingly smart. I tried setting a tripcaster and they refuse to charge me through the wire

It was set as my active the whole time.
You need to go out of the starting area so that you find better merchants. Better equipments also lets you use different ammo types, you won't find one bow which has access to all ammo and infact you'd need multiple bows if you want to be able to use any ammo you want. The best weapons cost 700-1000 shards...Same for armour.
Also you need the hunter bow for heavy arrows which can OHK humans on headshot and once you get heavy arrows you should stop using normal arrows.

Hmm weird in one of the playthroughs I saw during the previews, the person you speak to mentions it. I believe it had different dialog if you come through the gate with it or if you get off the mount before you walk through and then come through
Loving the game. I'm still in the first area and really looking forward to it opening up.
But i just lost like half an hour of playtime because i got stuck on a creature i killed with melee. No way to free myself. If i could at least try to save the game and reload (which sometimes helps in other games) but yeah....

In particular it could at least transition smoother. I've had instances where it will go from rain to sun to rain all in a few seconds. Even when it doesn't randomly yoyo it's still very immediate and jarring. It would be nice if the lens flare as the sun or moon dips behind a mountain were a bit smoother too.
This is me being ultra nitpicky though. Even the shadows are rendered at a good rate compared to numerous open world games. The only thing I've seen rendering below the overall fps yet was a fire breathers torch.
finally taking a break today. over 11 hours of play and at 21% level 18 i believe. this game is easily 9/10 probably more in the range of 9.5 for me. I never sink this much time into a game this quickly.
bought a new outfit/armor and another bow that has the tear arrows. need to eat an actual meal before i dive back into this tonight

While I do like the story overall, the writing is a little too hammy/overly earnest at times for my tastes, and some of the dialogue's pretty corny. I'll admit, coming from Yakuza 0 to this is a little jarring (60fps and the tone in general).
Still, Aloy is a great character and the game itself is very good. It's not really wowing me like some here as it does have a very familiar open world feel to it which I'm, kind of exhausted with, but so far it definitely deserves the high praise. The various systems and mechanics are all top tier. I think y0 just feels so much more inventive which is dampening the effect of this a little.
Looks a little blurry in motion on OG ps4m but it's still gorgeous.
I think Y0 us still standing as my GOTY so far, with RE7 and this a joint second currently. We'll see how it pans out.

Played up until the night before the proving. Fantastic introduction imo, if bland in terms of the actual objectives.
Probly won't be able to play again now until the weekend 😣

A dynamic UI where you can just rest your thumb on the pad to bring it up should be PS4 wide, how do I live without this.
