I agree and completely ignored nearly all tutorial quests for this reason.

Regarding Nil:
EDIT: I am sorry I used the wrong tags. 
since he really begged for it, I did him the favor and killed him. Since that is very easy to choose, I can't see him playing a role in future installments or DLC. Most other NPC's fate is determined by script, not by the player, I don't think they will just say "this decision is canon, the other was not". Those you can kill are probably gone for good.

Idea for DLC. Combat arena. Closed area where you can set what kind and how many machines spawn. for example you could spawn in 3 Thunderjaws and a Stormbird.

So was there ever any definitive in-universe explanation for
In my headcanon I figured it was
why the weather would change so rapidly all the time?
In my headcanon I figured it was
some kind of side effect of Gaia rebuilding nature or something.

I think there's not but a technical explanation was given. Something about making the game have the best possible light at all times.

I figured the Korra crowd would love this game, glad you enjoyed it.

I love how this game starts out really difficult but gives you the knowledge and tools to feel like a complete badass. I remember early on I would see a Sawtooth and slowly stalk it, setting up traps and trying to line up an opening fire arrow volley at its canisters. Now I see a Thunderjaw, Stormbirds, herd of Behemoths, or whatever else and I just sprint right at them and start fucking them up.

By the time the game is over pretty much me not killing something was me being merciful. It became really easy to fight stuff and win once you get used to everything. Even Behemoths got easy once you know to just hit the freeze tank with a freeze arrow.

If anyone was wondering how long it took to receive the platinum theme, I got mine in just under 24 hours (got the plat on Saturday evening, got the e-mail with the theme on Sunday afternoon).
Apparently never if you're me.

rockbreaker corrupted zone was certainly challenging. Ropecaster is a beast though
yeah, by endgame the only genuinely intimidating enemies are rockbreakers and stormbirds, and then only because you can't murder them super quickly - it's still easy enough to neutralize their most dangerous attacks

Yes, but the game is pretty dynamic in that if you step into the area of another quest, it will switch to that quest on the fly. At least that's what I've experienced. Not sure if others have as well.
Holy shit.
My hero!
Cinematic ratio
I can see that it's Letterboxed... possibly 24fps...
But wtf? Could you explain if Sunhi himself doesn't reply?
Also Magic looks like the right word right now.
You keep outdoing yourself.

Boy, they really nailed the combat feedback. I can't think of many other games that do it this well.
I'm really not sure, but I think the lower resolution of the gif helps (effectively downsamples/supersamples the image). Another thing is, the game really is gorgeous, but you might not really "see" it as much while playing as you are focused on the gameplay etc, whilst now you can just sitback and watch Sunhi gif's over and over and over and over and over again.
And of course its got to do with how Sunhi moves the camera as well, there are many gifs posted in this thread, but none really have the same "direction" as Sunhi so they loose a lot of what makes his gifs so great.
Fighting Rockbreakers/Thunderjaws/Stormbirds/Behemoths is really something very special. Fighting the smaller ones too, but these 4 never gets old.
Lmfao, funny story btw.
I pretty much tripled on my corrupted arrow on two Behemoth's and one Crab. OMG...
It felt like a small battlefield from afar. The light in the night sky was fascinating with rocks being pummeled everywhere. Now I want a war game in the Decima Engine!
So impressed.
The second mission for Free Heap where you have to get the behemoth cables with those 2 perverts

What platinum theme???
Apparently, the one that half of us registered with the Playstation Newsletter don't get. Sony doesn't even fix this shit.
I don't know man. It has some variant of a touched up lifelike colour palette. The supersampling/downsampling definitely helps. I play on the Pro on 1080P Supersampled (so much detail now, even my mind is going numb) but it doesn't look like this. Yes, it looks like CGI 65% of the time, but not like this. I think we miss the subtleties... look at the way Aloy's clothes move... this is ridiculous. I also now want to see Sunhi's Uncharted 4 screens.
Curious what difficulty did you play this on? Sad game doesn't give a trophy for highest difficulty run.
Oh fuck no... I am happy that this has been one of the best trophy lists ever. If people really need to learn something, this is how trophies are done. Compare this with the fucking impossible trophy list from KZ: Shadow Fall... my god.

lol I definitely played the game on Hard because I've noticed in recent years that most games on Normal are way too easy for me. It was difficult for all of 3 or so hours, but I became a legend soon enough.
That may have been the most intense fight of the whole game for me, excepting the finale. Just nuts. Bits of Scrap and dead animals everywhere after the battle. Loved it.
YOU CAN JUMP ON BELLOWBACKS?

The Fallout games allow this.
Thanks everyone.
I think the craziest one for me so far was just watching this one from afar. They managed to kill each other within two minutes, minus the victor which was completely "naked". Took one arrow to the ass.
The other crazy one was crazy; it was 3 snapmaw's, 3 glinthawks, 3 watchers and 2 ravagers all in the same place. THE FUCK. I was wearing the weave armor so I barely took damage. BUT FUCK WAS THERE METAL AND EXPLOSION EVERYWHERE. I wish I recorded it.

Dude, same as me! I can only play for an hour or two a day in the morning (not at all) so I have been taking my sweet time doing side missions, cauldrons, challenges...etc
Have one more cauldron and one more corrupted zone to go, then it's all main missions until the game concludes...

Played a bit more and had some fun. Game looks so pretty at times O_O
I think I figured out why the combat isn't clicking. The aiming at little weak parts on the dinos(that's what I call 'em) is so tiny that I find it hard to target when they're rushing you down so fast. I'm awful with thumbsticks and can't aim in time. Maybe it doesn't have a weak lock-on like other games? The slowdown upgrade helps a bit, but it runs out too fast

Work on those thumb skills bruh
Does this mean they don't factor into completion percentage?

Correct, they don't factor into it at all.

Just finished the game. I liked it, didn't love it though.
I think the open world fatigue got to me. Rise of Tomb Raider and FFXV are still fresh in memory. Played and explored those in full. I was actually glad when Horizon ended. But the game was really good nontheless.
The world and its characters are really well done. I was finding amazing looking places 30+ hours into the game. But I hated the automatic climbing and the stupid human ai. And most sidequests were average at best.
I'm scared to start BotW now. Don't feel like exoloring another big world and running from place to place for the millionth of time. So I'll shelve it for later.
Guess will have to do with Persona 5!

In the process of making cool gifs I think you've inadvertently transformed yourself into the most badass Aloy player there is.
