Switching to hard when I play after work, normal is feeling too easy.

I went with the entire top row first of all 3 categories. All use full and low cost. Then I moved on to some of the stealthy stuff.

Same! They've likely shipped them now, based on past experience.

Can't find sensitivity options? Camera is so slow.
Regarding difficulty play level, it seems most are planning to play this on hard/very hard. Is normal too easy & you can cheese through the game? Do you get mad money/XP and health on the regular?
Also how easy is it to unlock almost every skill tree and max out your character in this game?

I also made something dedicated to the combat. The video shows Scrappers, Ravagers, Thunderjaws, Snapmaws and Stalkers.

lol, yea everything seems great. I had a hard time choosing as well.
Surprisingly, I first went the scavenger route. Getting more materials and whatnot. So I unlocked the right side of that tree, straight down. I don't normally do it, but why not.
After that, I unlocked the sneak attack (with pressing R1 when they're near. That's on the first tree) then I went for the critical hit when they're down (which is in the 2nd tree).

Awesome video. And wow, you have a lot of subscribers.
Edit: How are you getting first person footage outside of photomode?

Guys, if anybody is interested in a good Let's Play, ChristopherOdd just posted the first part. He is not a comedic Youtuber, he focus a lot of the lore and story of the games he plays and for me he is one of the best out there. Here is his video:

Thanks for the responses guys
Also, should I just be buying new weapons from traders? Or do you find/are given stuff? I haven't gotten much so far so I feel like I should just be purchasing armors and weapons...

Nice OT shinobi

I haven't found any weapons at all. They're pretty much all bought unless I've somehow managed to miss them all. It's actually really easy to get the top tier weapons pretty early into the game. I had half of them like 12-15 hours in.

The bonfires are everywhere, just go up to one and press one button, it's fast.
Woohoo got it early, installing now. Amazon always ships games early enough that I should get them a day early, but it seems to depend on whether the mail carrier feels like delivering it that day or not.
Is there supposed to be a day 1 patch? It's not showing up yet, but maybe won't go live until tomorrow.

Had a fight with some watchers and sawtooths by a campfire. Next thing I know two more sawtooths show up with a long leg. It was hectic. It was a long battle. I laid out one last explosive trap to finish off the sawtooth who has super low health. He takes a dive at me, hits the trap, I was too close to the trap, I die from explosion. Didn't save it and when I respawned had to do the whole battler over. lol.

My copy is now out for delivery, should be here in 1-2 hours.

I think it's the pro patch from what I'm aware of. Which is already out.

You can get top level weapons and armor from vendors for like 800-1000 shards
Ah, no Pro here, so guess I can just start playing.

Creatively pushing Aloy against things and getting her to disappear with the camera. The game is actually really good about making her invisible when the camera is too close to her.
top level ones are purple right?
ajanke
Member
hmmm idk. I always quick save and manual save to be safe. I also rarely quit the app. Just close out of it and put ps4 on sleep mode. I'm literally right back into the game in like 10 seconds

From what I've seen so far yes. Given I'm only 22 hours in and most of that is side quest and exploring stuff. I still feel like I have a ton of side quest. I'm level 25-26 and main quest levels are hovering around level 20 or so right now.

ChristopherOdd is probably my favorite LPers on Youtube. I have been a fan for 4+ years.

Never had that happen to me.
Sounds like you could get the best or at least close to the best weapons fairly easily?
Shame, I was hoping you'd get a steady supply of new and better gear, with the occasional big jump in power due to finding a hidden spot with good loot or maybe finishing a high-level side quest early on.
You should be seeing a 1.02 patch. That's the day 1 patch with combined 1.01 and 1.02 patches and it's not only for Pro improvements, it's for general bug and animation fixes too.
From you level, looks like you did more side quests than I did lol. There are just so many side quests to do in the game.
ajanke
Member
Haha I think I might go for platinum so I'm doing a lot of side stuff. I feel like each town I get to has more side quests than the last. lol
ajanke
Member
Yea I was kinda surprised too. I was also surprised how far into the map the main and side quests take so early in the game. The game is awesome but you can see a ton of areas where they might want to expand upon in sequels. Especially in the amor and loot areas.

Difficulty: I'm really interested to see how this shakes out. I thought the game was legitimately difficult on Normal -- one of the hardest shooter/action games I've played, and certainly the hardest in recent years. Not Soulsborne, of course, but it's not trying to be that.
I had 32 out of 36 skills unlocked when I finished the game, and I stopped doing side content about halfway to finish the review in time. I've been max-level/max-skills for most of the endgame trophy-hunting.
