Have the devs ever confirmed if you can kill a Tallneck or not? Or if there's any autosaving?
Fixed, but this is it.

I made up for that by working in a Souls reference.

I can't imagine the puzzle solving being anything like Zelda, it's probably more than likely being using the Focus mode on stuff for a riddle or something disjointed from the core mechanics like Uncharted. I simply don't see what they can do with Aloy's toolset in the vein of puzzle solving.

I know it's two words but it's made up completely of 4 game references. Farcry/From(software)/Witcher/Creed.
But if people think it's better as two words, then so be it.

?? Zelda puzzles are not exactly unique, there is a lot they could do with machines, technology, and alloys skill set. Puzzles can also be integrated into the environment, and are not limited to just Aloy's skillset.
I've seen Tallnecks described as puzzles, so yeah, I wouldn't expect anything along the lines of Zelda in its puzzles.

Yeah. Or at least talked about them.

Yes, you've said this before. Nowhere in my reply was I implying it would work exactly like Zelda dungeons, just explaining where the comparison (even if slight) was getting drawn from.

Lmao.
It should be
Horizon OT: Breath of the Wild
Then the Zelda OT 3 days later should be
The Legend of Zelda OT: Zero Dawn
misclicks for days. That's what people get for endlessly comparing the two.

I never get into the official thread title for any game. But, this one has to be a rip from naughty by nature s classic "You down with OPP" why, since people keep claiming it rips off every game known to man the title pays homage to that song
Horizon Zero Dawn: You down with HZD Yeah, you know me.

I think it's reassuring that there is still so much of the game that has yet to be revealed.
It really does look like a massive game. I'm hoping for a lot of new ranged weapons and enemy types in the full game to keep it fresh.
Guerilla has nailed the gameplay so far, and that aspect alone will make the game worth playing. They have a strong foundation here, and a sequel will really refine it.

Well the title does a great job of including all the games Horizon has been compared to. It'd be remiss of us to leave out Zelda. Unless you're playing along ;-), always hard to tell in these threads lol.

There is one complaint I have with this game so far that I'm not sure if it has been addressed (I haven't seen all preview footage) and maybe there's a narrative justification but it bothers far more than anything else given that I'm mainly interested in Horizon for the gameplay.
The bow doesn't have the arrow drop off you'd expect from such a weapon. It fires more like a single-shot weapon (this also bothered me in something like Tomb Raider 2013). I wish it operated more like TLOU's bow which felt so, so good to use.

But what makes Zelda Puzzles interesting is that they are a part of the toolset more often than not, a new tool in the set forces the player to examine the environment and their moveset simultaneously.
A puzzle being in the environment can work, Resident Evil has shown that it is possible (the adventure game roots help here), but it is easily disjointed from the core mechanics more often than not, but this is what the Zelda games have striven against and occasionally failed at.
I think what it likely to happen is a navigational challenge to get to a couple places to scan with focus mode which will then give the answer. Nothing challenging but a nice refresher before some intense combat. An appetizer before the main course which are tightly designed combat sequences unlike anything else in the game.
I pointed this out earlier yes. The Bow is almost certainly a Hitscan weapon which is perfectly fine because Aiming is a challenge as it is before a projectile time would be added.

Depends, we don't know what other tools Aloy might have, a lot of the game we have not seen, and what types of functions the bow/slingshot might end up having....
I don't know but if they don't I'll be trying to kill a tallneck I and be disappointed when you can't (or in other words I would love to be able to but I expect the answer is no).

I think it's for the sake of immediate combat against the robots. The bow is Aloy's main weapon, afaik.
That said, you'll be happy to know the slingshot has a visible drop.
You're goddamn right. The way it slowly pulls back and then rapidly flings forward is so satisfying. (The sound design and gore help too).
Horizon's bow seemingly isn't at the level of TLOU, because it's a little too fast, but it looks to be better than Tomb Raider in that regard. And like Equanimity said above, it's probably to keep combat fast paced and immediate, as opposed to the slow, stealthy, lurching speed of something like TLOU (which is great in its own way).

OMG a shared universe of OTs!!
And 99% of it is in the tutorial area (Great plateau)
No, but they never said the dungeons were Zelda-like. Witcher 3 and TES games have dungeons with "puzzles" too, and so does Uncharted. Someone posted what a preview said about one of the dungeons and it sounded more like AC tombs (kinda).
I want this. Lol.

The question was whether they showed dungeons. Not whether they were Zelda-like.

Let make them share the review thread as well. That would be hilarious.

We can't have a thread about Horizon without a mention of TW3 it seems...haha. Saying Horizon looks inferior to TW3 is fine, but that doesn't make it a failure.
The fact that GG are confident enough to invite people to play their game before the release date is already an indication to me that the game will turn out just fine.
