Being able to infinite call your mount perk seems kind of broken. A little too abusable.

After seeing how much damage they can do it does seem kind of crazy. Barely messed with mounts though tbh

 

[J-P]

Why is it not giving me the option to trade at the first merchant?

 

[jmaine_ph]

Level 17, 16% complete with the game and I've played for 10 hours.

Yesterday, I mentioned how I was loving the game already...well it got even better and I love it even more 😂

 

[reKon]

Should I do these side quests in the beginning of the game or just keep pushing forward with the main quest?

 

[blame space]

just hold x it trades automatically

I've enjoyed the ones I've done. Some are interesting.

 

[TheLionsDen]

For those further in the game, how many hours into the game was it until you got to truly explore the open world?

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Should I do these side quests in the beginning of the game or just keep pushing forward with the main quest?

I did a few only because I like being a few levels ahead of story missions

 

[Porkepik]

Just started playing, and yeah I m amazed at the graphical qualities of this title. Gameplay is great. I should go to sleep but can't put down the joypad 😂

 

[ironcreed]

Man, sometimes if you get spotted everything in the area comes down on top of you. Like 10 cultists, a Fire Bellowback and a Watcher all at once. Nuts.

 

[Perineum]

I don't know how the story will pan out in this game, but if it holds up, then this game will go down as one of the top shelf franchises. i.e stand shoulder to shoulder with Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid, and Witcher for me.

This game is so well done in every facet for my game tastes that I cannot help but grin ear to ear playing it, and 5 minutes is actually 5 hours gone.

Guerrilla has outdone themselves. I hope it sells gangbusters for them.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Finished the game. 68 hours, 96% complete. This is a masterpiece. Those final missions, holy shit!!!!! The attention to the story to the very end, the way it ties to things you did, side quests you completed, fucking amazing. Aloy an instant top 10 game character of all time. I want more, I want more right now.

This is the next big franchise for Sony. PS1 had Crash, PS2 God of War, PS3 Uncharted and now PS4 has Horizon.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

I've cleared out the place but can't figure out where to start my climb

Hug the mountains, you'll see the yellow marks to climb soon.

Also it's a little further north to the scrappers site.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Alright alright!! The salt was too real 3 snapmaws and a Longleg alright fine I'm stocked, I plant some traps and tripwires first cool fights going well. Game NOPE 2 big enemies of which I haven't seen yet start throwing rocks. Dead. Lol I love this game

I have to laugh again at the guy early on the thread saying there were "like 6 side quests...."

lol

Yeah, those early in thinking the game is easy... keep playing.

 

[rezn0r]

All I want to do is play this game. But I am taking my time with it. I want to look forward to playing it when I can as opposed to making it a job to play it every night.

I have a 10 day old son so... same boat kind of Normally I'd be trying to put 6 hours a night into this. Loving it though.

 

[LastMinuteHero]

Nvm I went to the wrong scrapper site lol but yeah I got it

Spoiler

There goes 30 minutes of my life lol

 

[Xeteh]

Taking a break at level 11... I've been hyped for this game since the reveal and from what I've played so far it has been justified. I'm really enjoying this game and I cannot wait to see where this story goes.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Yeah, those early in thinking the game is easy... keep playing.

Early in..I'm still early?

 

[KaoteK]

Why is it not giving me the option to trade at the first merchant?

I can't trade in my preorder bonus, which is supposed to be tradable with any merchant.

Anyone know what's up with that?

 

[ironcreed]

Early in..I'm still early?

No, I was just agreeing with you. The game ramps up and takes you out of your comfort zone.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

No, I was just agreeing with you. The game ramps up and takes you out of your comfort zone.

O I was like damn. Yea I still can't comfortably take out a thunderjaw in the wild yet. Let alone one of the areas I saw two roaming together

 

[Polarburr]

so how are you guys approaching the outfits/gears? do you guys just buy one that suits your play style, or buy several and change depending on the situation?

 

[witness]

Had to drag myself to bed with work in the morning after a 4 hour session tonight. Level 10 now and I'm just blown away by everything so far. My wife is captivated watching this and she just adores Aloy. I'm just so impressed by every aspect.

 

[B.O.O.M]

well umm guess i'm waiting for a bit until the patch is installed ...

 

[EL CUCO]

I'm still in the first area but I'm kinda confused with what I should be doing with all these resources and modifications. Selling for shards?

[TheGameshark]

The gun you can shoot off of ravagers is badass.

 

[Primethius]

I buy the resistance based outfits. Don't really care for the stealth ones as that's not my playstyle. The resistance ones I try to keep one of each just in case.

Same goes for weapons. Keeping everything but those weapons that are replaced by straight upgrades.

 

[leng jai]

Is it normal that all the dialogue cutscenes have the bottom third of the screen darker?

 

[ricelord]

Is it bad when i'm a level 21 but my main quest is level 12.

edit: i'm playing on hard so i guess thats ok.

 

[Perineum]

Is it bad when i'm a level 21 but my main quest is level 12.

Same scenario here.

I will say the first Cauldron is level 12, and I was 19 or 20, and it still was a good challenge on hard mode.

 

[Lemonade727]

Can't for the life of me get a bellowback heart to drop. Been farming a spawn for about an hour now. Really want that heavy silent armor

I give up, this thing just won't drop. The level 13 dream is over. Had about 50 attempts on him at roughly 2 minutes per attempt including reloading.

The corrupted

long legs

Are you motherfucking kidding me right now

 

[travisbickle]

It tells you in the description what you can use the resources with. Modifications for your weapon can be fitted in the crafting menu.

Plus you can sell stuff and buy it back later for the same price if needed, it's not a capitalist society.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

first cauldron sigma

started out weird as fuck
then i get to the end
I was so unprepared, so very unprepared
it was a fun clusterfuck, i wasted a lot of stuff on it

Spoiler

at first i thought the shellwaker on it was a bit of a challenge, but then the bellowback was RELENTLESS, WOULDNT STOP ATTACKING ME

level 8 YA FUCKING RIGHT

 

[The God]

Is it bad when i'm a level 21 but my main quest is level 12.

lol I accidentally overleved too. I'm playing on Very Hard though so the challenge balances out.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Freeze bomb and sharpshooter bow make them trivial.

 

[hbkdx12]

Are you motherfucking kidding me right now

I haven't done that yet i don't think but i just did the corrupted zone with

Spoiler

the 2 behemoths

I literally had to use everything in my arsenal. I'm like 20+ hrs into this game and have never once felt the need to have to use a trap but i'll be damned if i wasn't out there laying them down.

Crazy intense

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Freeze bomb and sharpshooter bow make them trivial.

Hmm Really the freeze bomb. Haven't used it as much admittedly fire and lightning have been my go to elements

 

[gfxtwin]

Damn, the larger beasts in this game are no joke, especially since they're rarely out there on their own. The ones with the giant canister of green liquid on their backs always kill me in one hit.

 

[Shambala]

I love this game. Gg u done outdid yourselves. Man I can listen to that theme song over and over lol

 

[mike6467]

I'm sure this is around somewhere, but ffs what does the "Handling" stat represent for bows and whatnot? I've Googled, checked the manual and looked around in the game.

I'm sure it's somewhere in this thread but my searches aren't turning anything up.

 

[zma1013]

So what difficulty level should I be doing if I'm really good at games?

 

[Primethius]

So what difficulty level should I be doing if I'm really good at games?

Very Hard + Aim Assist off.

 

[Jobbs]

So what difficulty level should I be doing if I'm really good at games?

I started on hard and it's been pretty trivial so far and I'm kind of an average gamer

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Hmm Really the freeze bomb. Haven't used it as much admittedly fire and lightning have been my go to elements

Frozen enemies take double damage.
