Horizon Zero Dawn reviews looking good...

[Anubis]

Will that also be the normal price when it releases?

i think its marked down from 19.99 right now

 

[Anubis]

HMMM...I wonder if the new area is going to link up to the area near the Grave Hoard that I mentioned above. This DLC is obviously going to be about the Banuk and you can see a Banuk statue off in that area which seems to be unreachable.

you can get to it if you try

Psn store says Dec 31 release.

i'm pretty positive it will be out before that, they said 2017, the dec 31 date is what goes in by default before one is actually given. amazon does the same thing

thanks for the link. I tried using one of the other Horus tentacles as a bridge but ended up falling.

The fact that there is so much detail in that area, really make me think the DLC may end up having you go through there to access Ban-Ur

Is there an official release date for the DLC yet?

 

[HOOfan 1]

Well...there goes my 100% trophies. I don't imagine that I will be taking the time to do an Ultra Hard New Game Plus run.

What was the update that came to my PS4 for this game a day or two ago? I'd imagine bug fixes related to Game+ related issues but was curious what the patch is for.

Hi everyone! We’re happy to announce that Patch 1.31 for Horizon Zero Dawn is available now. This patch fixes a number of technical issues, issues that occurred with New Game + and Ultra Hard difficulty, progression issues and crashes as outlined below.



NOTE: This list may contain spoilers!

Spoiler

If you encounter an issue while playing Horizon Zero Dawn, please try reloading a recent manual save, quicksave or autosave from the “Load” menu option. If the issue persists, please take screenshots of the area where it occurred and your location on the map, and forward them to us for further investigation.



GENERAL FIXES
• Fixed an issue where hitting an armour plate with a bomb while the machine is frozen would cause more damage than intended.
• Fixed an issue where the statistics of the Tearblaster were incorrectly displayed in the weapon wheel.
• Fixed an issue where heavy melee and elemental damage values were the same on different difficulty levels.
• Fixed an issue in “The Looming Shadow” where for some players two guards would disappear after Blameless Marad speaks to them.
• Fixed an issue where the auto save at the start of “Mother’s Heart” would not display the name of the quest and the player’s level indicator.



NEW GAME+ AND ULTRA HARD MODE FIXES
• Fixed an issue in New Game+ “The Point of the Spear” where for some players loading an auto save after speaking to Rost at his home would start from Karst’s location rather than near Rost.
• Fixed an issue in New Game+ “A Seeker at the Gates” where for certain players the objective ‘Override a Strider’ would remain on screen when using the Call Mount skill.
• Fixed an issue in New Game + where certain players were not able to enter or fast travel to Sunfall with the Adept Shadow Stalwart armour equipped.
• Fixed an issue in New Game+ where some players with the Adept Blast Sling were granted access to the Shock Trial in the Valleymeet Hunting Grounds, despite not having Shock ammo.
• Fixed an issue in New Game+ where some players with the Adept Blast Sling were granted access to the Freeze Trial in the Valleymeet Hunting Grounds, despite not having Freeze ammo.
• Fixed an issue in New Game+ where for some players kills with the Adept Tripcaster were not counted towards the Blast Wire Trial in the Nora Hunting Grounds.
• Fixed an issue in New Game+ where certain players were able to carry over heavy weapons from their normal game to their New Game+ loadout.
• Fixed an issue when playing on Ultra Hard mode where for some players shard values in player created errands are not updated when switching to a lower difficulty.



PROGRESSION ISSUE FIXES
• Fixed an issue in “Deep Secrets of the Earth” where certain players would become trapped in a room if they solved the Power Puzzle while leaving the enemies guarding it alive. This fix requires a reload in order for it to work.

• Various crash fixes

Well, that explains why I'm so buff right off the bat. I have everything. I only lost my gold fast travel item in New Game+.

I'm basically slamming through the game though. I play it once every few weeks to keep the mechanics fresh in my head for when the expansion comes.

I didn't loose anything... I even have the electro-spear... Still, even a Watcher drops my entire shield in a single hit, so it's not a walk in the park in NG+ at highest difficulty.

Isn't the point of New Game + that you get to carry over your upgrades?

Man Best Buy and Amazon both have this game for $30 now.

Grab it, well worth it. I'm on my 4th playthru. Game+ Ultra hard.

Oh I bought it at launch. I was just adding that info for anyone on the fence about getting it. And yeah what an amazing game. I'd pay $80 for it much less $30. I'll probably start a NG+ a month before the Frozen Wilds launches (I assume Sony will give us a nice heads up).

I just picked this up and am about 2 hours in. It's pretty awesome so far, but there's a lot of running in between spots on quests. Does this happen often throughout the game? Makes it a little tedious almost right away.

It gets better once you start fast traveling to campfires. Try to get the unlimited travel pack. Also, once you can ride machines it's much better.

 

[Sadaiyappan]

I bought this.

 

[EXCellR8]

no DLC yet! i need to catch up...

game still impresses the hell out of me though, despite skipping a few perks that would have been super helpful earlier on

Honestly I've been finding enough fast travel packs from loot and such that I haven't found a need for unlimited yet. I'm not sure if I'm more tolerant to traveling some places than others or not, but once you start getting into the bulk of the game (where fast travel is nice to have) I'm finding enough packs to not worry about using them up.

 

[Anubis]

there is a perm fast travel pack available from vendors at some point into the game

You should just get it. It is super inexpensive. I think they probably added it near the end when they realized how crappy having to collect fast passes was. The game is much more enjoyable if you can just go to any uncovered campfire on the map without dealing with the potential headaches involved.

 

[EXCellR8]

damn im gonna look into getting that as well.

watched the trailer for the expansion; will buy.

I put in a lot of hours before a friend told me about the unlimited fast travel pack lol. It is a God send indeed!
