Horizon Zero Dawn reviews looking good...

[Schfifty Five]

Just beat the game last night and getting platinum trophy. What an amazing game.

Contemplated doing the new game+ ultra hard mode, but I barely have enough time as is and it took me a good while to do a 100% completion game already. But it is tempting. Will definitely revisit when DLC comes.

 

[gorcorps]

Need to start playing again, got the nintendo switch with Zelda and it's taken over most of my gaming recently.

DLC official release date is Nov 7th

 

[Oyeve]

Damn, Nov 7. I want it now. Already beat it on ultra hard game+. Need more!!!

 

[EXCellR8]

still need to get back to it... maybe Thursday night since I took the following day off. game deserved more of my attention smh

 

[cmdrdredd]

I'll be rebuying the game on nov 7 lol

 

[EXCellR8]

ughhh I forgot about Uncharted lost legacy coming out at the end of the month...

I don't think I'll have time to finish Horizon unless I rush through the main storyline when I can; I don't want to do that. I still have Last Guardian in the shrink wrap also I don't understand why I continue to buy games...

EXC,

When you get around to Horizon... plan for 50+ hours if you intend to take your time with it. Someone can probably give you a better duration to plan for but if you watch all the cut scenes and suck in all the plot, it is a very long single player game.

 

[cmdrdredd]

Personally I will skip the uncharted game. I did not like the two main characters they are using so I feel no excitement for it. I'll probably play it later when it's on a psn+ sale.

 

[sze5003]

I'm going to get the uncharted game. I have yet to finish horizon too. One last mission whenever I get around to it. Been so busy lately with other stuff.

LOL. I still have Persona 5, The Last Guardian, and God of War III untouched but I probably won't get to any of them until I finish Drakengard 1 on PS2 (currently playing), NieR 1 on PS3, and probably a replay of NieR Automata also.

Oh well, it gives me a good excuse to wait for Black Friday to buy Lost Legacy. But I'll probably still buy it the first time I see it for $30, assuming it's on par with the rest of the Uncharted series (other than UC1, that game wasn't in the same league as the other three).

 

[EXCellR8]

I think I'm at that Grave Horde (Hoard?) mission in Zero Dawn... I've been attempting to do all of the side quests before continuing with the main story so I wouldn't be surprised if I wasn't even close to finishing.

The last Uncharted I bought brand new and didn't end up playing until months later; def could have saved some money there. That game was fantastic though and I think I got a digital version of Last of Us Remastered but I've played through that on PS3 in the past. Needless to say, if it says Naughty Dog I'm probably going to play it. Uncharted 2 might be the best adventure game I've ever played to date.

I'm here as well. I had to check a walkthrough to see how many more main quests remain and there are a lot more. I'm very pleasantly surprised with how much there is to do in this game. And I love almost everything except some of the silly side quests. The game is a technical and visual marvel so far.

 

[EXCellR8]

the shallower side quests or errands could be made fun and rewarding by exploration and engaging in unnecessary skirmishes with various machines. i've had quite a few minor encounters that turned into full blown battles. the game allows for good pacing though, as in you can rev it up as much as you see fit but also withdraw a bit and play more passively.

 

[Oyeve]

That bitter climb on game+ ultrahard mode though.....

 

[thejunglegod]

Bloody hell, I think I'm just unlucky with RNG in most games. In my quest to get the purple silent armour I've been farming Bellowbacks for their hearts non-stop. Must've killed around 30 of them. Nada. Then read about this a little on some forums and came to know that there was a merchant that sells machine parts in Meridien. Thank God for him, granted the bellowback heart cost around 800 shards, but it was well worth it.
Up next, the legendary armour and my search for power cells. I freaking love this game.

Do'nt worry, you will end up with well over 15K shards towards the end. Make sure you start selling off parts and mods that are green/blue. Will help clear up your inventory and give you shards.

Yeah, I ended up with plenty, around 8K. I think I made a mistake saving up those watcher hearts and those green items. Always kept thinking I'd need them later. Also, the last quest took me from level 34 to 37. So much XP.
And thankfully I invested some time in getting the legendary armor. I was a bit let down that there was no proper cutscene acknowledging the armor. Just a "wear armor" and you're done. But the armor is so op it almost feels like a cheat code.

Spoiler

So just one thing I wanted to ask: I finished the final quest and the end credits came up, after which I was thrown back into the game with the last quest still incomplete (it asked me to go and talk to Avad to start the final quest). Weird

The armor is cool but in game+ ultra hard mode get it as soon as possible. In that mode one hit and you will be near dead.

In game+ you keep all your items don't you?

Also, you can only get the armor towards late game anyways in normal mode, so not like you can rush for it at low levels.

ok I've killed like 30 foxes and I cannot seem to acquire the skin needed for the golden travel pack... i'm no hunting expert but I'm pretty sure a pile of poor innocent foxes can produce at least one backpack

I absolutely STILL suck at this game; I've lost literally all dexterity from not playing it

I find killing needed animals for part works better with low power arrows. Don't know why

 

[EXCellR8]

tried it, regular hunting arrows... might remove mods from the hunter bow and see if that gets it

 

[nurturedhate]

I just chase after them and use a light spear attack, no wasted ammo and haven't had an issue needing something, your mileage may vary.

That's weird you've gone that long without having one drop. I feel for you man. I remember how annoying it was to try and upgrade your pouches/inventory bags, etc and having to find skins, bones, etc.

Lol yaaa. And that goddamn fatty meat for health pots.
For the golden fast travel pack, I had to farm a few foxes as well. One drop among an average of 5 foxes.
My biggest problem, as stated in one of my above posts was the Bellowback heart for the Purple silent armor. Killed around 30 of them without anything, got fed up and just purchased it from a vendor. It's just the RNG.
