Actually the current day/night cycle is moving way too damn slow. Someone speed this shit up so I can complete this "work" quest and fast-travel home to play more Horizon.

Is there a way to manually put the bow/spear away?

And why would I want them?

8 trophies to go until the platinum.
Played a good 4-5 hours and wanted to take a break from it now.
I fucking love the gameplay. Like. Feels really tight and the bow combat just works.
The story so far is .. I want to like it but it just seems odd quite often. Also wasn't really a fan of the whole as a kid intro. Much prefer her adult version.
Other than that; really really solid so far, just hope that I will start to care more about the story.

Pull out a different weapon
I rode it through the gate and was no longer mounted in the cutscene. No dialogue mention of it.

Wow, the game basically froze my system entirely during the opening cutscene. Has that happened to anyone else?

You know what the great thing is?
You'll have a blast with this game, and then you'll likely have a blast with Zelda. We're quite lucky to get these two games so close together.
Well, not me since I won't get a Switch for a while. But if Odyssey comes out this year and delivers, I MIGHT bite.

Thanks for the post. I may hold off until it's fixed to play it. Not looking forward to crashing again.

Just put the game down for bed. Must have been four hours, haven't done a great deal, just tried the first
and died a lot, on hard.
It's been a slow start, young Aloy was a bit of a pain, and I don't think anything about the game suits exploring corridors. But it's an RPG, it's allowed to have a slow start, and everything has been engaging and high quality enough to make the promise of more and better a truly alluring one.
The lighting can make absurdly beautiful scenes sometimes, my favourite has been approaching a grassy bank with the sun ahead. I love that at any point you could just goof off and wander around, gazing at the scenery, and be amazed.
I do feel like a klutz in combat at the moment, but turning that around is surely an important part of the fun. Anyway it's early early days, but a compelling experience so far, looking forward to more tomorrow.

By the way could somebody give me some tips on using the rope caster? I'm not getting the use I expected from it. For instance I expected it to hurt the weaponry of the bot that
since its weak to tear but it did either nothing or was too hard to get enough shots on. It didn't stay down for very long at all either when I downed it and the bolts did very little as well.
Do I just need better gear or should it drain my mats this much to fight?

Did you try the level 8 tutorial quest...? this should help,you can do the same with the Tripcaster.(it also gives about 1500 exp)
ropecaster just ties down enemies. you won't be ripping stuff off with it. tie it down then fire on the parts you want with another weapon.

Never mind, I had to beat the first cauldron. You can easily tie any dino down and then override them.
Most people get pass it btw.

It's just meant to immobilize enemies. It's actually quite useful since most machines leap around likeach crazy.

Loving the game so far. Combat is brilliant, visuals are absolutely amazing probably the best I've ever seen for an open world. The combination of weather/day/night cycles and the huge distances seen to the point you can see tallnecks moving is pretty astounding while also maintaining a very strong art direction. The only major visual issue I see with the game is probably the water effects.
Cauldron Rho was my first and it was pretty difficult. It felt terrible that they decided to add the Sawtooth along with the Snapmaw that I eventually got sick of it and planted a total of 15 different traps before I deactivated the field.
The most amazing thing thing I feel is how alive the game feels though and the constant three-way battles which get hilarious or frustrating depending on which side is getting stomped.
I do kind of wish that activating crafting quests did a bit more. They're mostly menial tasks so could of been nice if it were easier to track down animals rather than wondering around aimlessly.
I do hope GG explore platforming a bit more. More precision, less automation more places to climb around with less designated spots, I kind of like the areas with ropes around but wish they could expand on that much more with larger areas with more climbing, ropes, around to tackle situations.
I feel that shooting on a rope, grabbing enemies on from a ledge should really be part of the core mechanics rather than a bonus skill set because it really adds a lot to what you can do.
Did something similar. Saw four tramplers, decided to see if I could take one down. Didn't work out and got chased by all four.
So far, it looks to be one of my top favorite games this generation which is surprising given how utterly terrible Killzone SF was and how I usually don't like open world games much anymore.

Thanks for the tips guys. Kind of a shame since that would be a really rewarding use of it. Guess I need some different gear to do tear damage then.

Is there actually a glitch with downsampling or was that person from earlier today just mistaken?

The Map is 3D, I never knew this was the case. How come no previews mentioned this and how well it's done and determining depth.
The next upgrade the the same skill tree lets you do that

No glitch, just adds a blur that I'm not a fan of because it removes some of the benefit of downsampling that you would get. I posted comparisons earlier in the day.

She should be above you in the area where she is calling you. A few Watchers should be circling below her.
Digital Foundry mentioned it.

I've just started it
, and I was wondering if there was anyway to cancel firing the bow once I draw the string aside from rolling?
well, I've finished the kid Aloy section and reached my first campfire

Just fought three
at the same time. So intense!
I think this game hits the right balance for approaching a fight. I thought the Witcher was a bit too much with looking up the opponent, making the potion, putting it on your blade, etc. but I do like the idea of preparing for a fight unlike something like Skyrim where everything just gets hacked to death. This is just using different elements to your advantage, targeting weak spots, getting the kill. It's super rewarding and doesn't slow down the action at all, it's SO fun.
The game is incredible. Watching two Sawtooths fight eachother is so cool. That's some next gen shit.
I can't believe Guerilla actually did it. The highest of props to them.

You need to be closer to the path to see it.
