it was probably
the quest for the end game gear. He probably hadn't found that gear location yet so when he got the item for that quest it popped.
Level in this game doesn't really make that much of a difference, your stats don't really change that much to affect anything. What might make a difference are the skills.
I finished the last mission which was level 34 as a level 22...if you want something for reference.

Yes. The art direction of the cauldrons is so alien and mechanical and the difference with the game so far was so stark. I loved it.
That's the one, the way it popped up out of nowhere for me was a damn cool moment.

These Stalkers are fucking terminators. I'm running for like 300 yards and their still on my ass.

What difficulty were you playing on bud?
I'm level 33 on hard and I'm doing all the side quests. I haven't gotten to the city the game is telling me to go to, but I can get wrecked pretty easily if I'm not planning my attack.

Hey so I was going to buy this tonight..
Is the deluxe edition worth the extra 10$?

This is the only open world game ever that I really enjoy travelling in at night. It's so beautiful and serene:
If only those damn leaves moved when you moved through them rather than clipping through in an obvious fashion. Don't even want physics based movement, just a little shake and wiggle while you pass through. My biggest disappointment, followed by water which has the same issue of little to no feedback (sometimes you don't even get splashing sound).
I might get a pasting for saying this but...why are the midnight hours so bright? I turned down brightness to 0% in the settings (I usually do that with every game anyway) and still, everything is clear as day.
It's horrid. I don't understand it. There seems to be not a single part of the ground that isn't blacked-out from the darkness.
Why do developers do this?

Yeah I was kind of unsure how I'd feel about night time when I started playing due to the greenish filter, but man as great as screens look, it looks absolutely mindblowing in action. Games like Witcher 3 or Skyrim I found myself meditating/resting to change the time of day , but in Horizon any time of day is a treat.

The moon is bright. But It really depends on where you are at. If you're in a heavily wooded area it's super dark. I've been in places where I was having trouble seeing where I was at it was so dark. I have the brightness down pretty far too.
Hard I didn't say anything about not planning attacks, only said levels don't really matter since your damage depends on other things rather than level. The only damage that is somehow related to levels is melee damage as you need to upgrade the skill tree for max melee damage. Even taking down multiple robots at once isn't that big of a deal, tear arrows, traps and ropes will make easy work out of the biggest and baddest robot. And once you get the ability to shoot 3 arrows at once your DPS becomes even more ridiculous.
I mean I am level 37 something and my max health is like 560 or around that, that isn't really that much higher than what it was at the start of the game and you get to carry tons of healing items like in addition to your health bar you can get 3 additional health bars, plus several health potions, then you have the armour which is level independent as well.

Kill a lot of wildlfe, mainly turkeys and boars and grab the "rare" resources that pop up usually with each kill. Keep doing this constantly until you stock up and run out of space for Resources.
*Make sure you upgrade your Resource satchel/space in the crafting menu to pull this off*
Then;
>Go to a merchant, trade them for shards
>Buy an almost infinite amount of Wire
The the green and blue "rare" resources that wildlife drops gives you a crapton of metal shards from merchants. I stock up 1,800 metal shards in 1 trip.
I bought almost all weapons and all armors after attainig so much metal shards lol

Loving this game. I've been mainly a stalker using stealth kills, but I got a little careless yesterday and took down about six machines at once and it was exhilarating.

Holy shit. Is this with HDR enabled or not?
I am really liking how they are having fun with themselves!!
Every Guerrilla staff gets the Collector edition. Mathijs is the Game director.
I love how Yoshida gets into all of this as well.
No HDR. I play it on an HDTV.

Seriosuly. I hated how Geralt did it because his voice is static snd lifeless.
Aloy is actually funny & shows emotion in her lines.
She oozes sympathy.

I just got to the first one and it's pretty cool. I'm working from home and instead of working I'm playing this game so I'm gonna put it down for now and continue the Cauldron tonight.

Don't know about anyone else, but my game has been glitchy as fuck. First I got trapped in Mothers Watch when the gates closed while I was still inside (turned out to be a good thing since I missed the energy cell there and managed to go get it) and then I got trapped in geometry while doing the Brom side quest. Ended up having to waste two fast travel packs to get out of both situations

Please as Guerilla and the devs to add a character viewer to catch all the details in the humand and robots models in all outfirts and situations like the one in Uncharted 4 and Arkham Knight. I really wanted to have one since Killzone Shadow Fall.
The more we ask the betetr chances we get one ain a futureupdate.

sorry for a question that has inevitably been asked a lot but for the best graphics on a 1080p screen i want to select 'favor performance', right?
no, I think favor resolution is the best mode to go with even on 1080p. super sampling is a huge boost to IQ
blame space

if you favor resolution it will downscale a bit on your 1080p set. looks insane.

Oh my god guys, I just stumbled on my first Thunderjaw. IT'S GIGANTIC. Holy shit! The cool thing is that I started to notice the ground shaking. I was on top of a mountain on a rainy day, visibility was low. I looked below and I could see the tip of pine trees moving and being taken down in the middle of a forest. Curiosity got to me and I started decending to the location to see what was happening. That's when I saw it, larger than anything I've seen in the game so far.
This game guys, THIS GAME!
I literally just took the same screenshot, hahahaha.

I'm loving the overall quality of the game, it looks amazing, performs great, gameplay is varied and fun, story is intriguing and I'm only about 5 hours in. Aloy also seems to be a well-written and well- acted character.
Browsing this thread while working is a poor substitute for playing but it's all I have...

Thought this was a cute tweet from GAF's favourite developer:

I haven't been playing too long but I am taking my time and doing side quest. I just cleared the
(stopped last night at the next big fight) and I am really enjoying this story. That kind of surprises me. I expected a good story, just not a story where I can't wait to see what happens. I do have my gripes, though. Fighting humans is kinda annoying so far.

I don't think you know what depth of field means.
The true struggle. Never enough wire.

I'm glad they did. They should also give her some sort of rappelling tool as well. Sliding down a rope in bare hands like that would tear the flesh right off her hands.

Just curious how many "real"animals are in this world? I saw boars, ants and now a Turkey. What else did you find?

Favor resolution is definitely the way to go. It's not a huge boost in IQ, but it's definitely better. This game has insane IQ in favor performance mode.
Look at the difference in texture on the rocks (might help to open each image in a new tab and flick back and forth):

I've also seen foxes, raccoons, Canada geese, and fish.

Just did the first cauldron, so awesome
Question now: Do I pick an outfit for perks or do I pick what looks cool? The stealth outfit seems like the most useful for my playstyle but the rare ice one looks really cool (even if I haven't even experienced freeze damage yet)

Don't play this game heavily medicated. I did the whole proving sequence kinda in a daze and then
Great and lovely game. Loving it so far and definately feeling the Witcher vibes.
When I picked up the machine gun and was mowing people down my mind went all flippity doo and I was like, Am I still play HZD?!?
