I always start off with some tear arrows to rip off the armor then set it on fire then tie it down with the ropecaster and go to work on it. I would also recommend drinking the electric potion that gives your defense a boost from its electric attacks.

I was about to post the same thing. It boggles the mind that I feel this way. Not even in RDR did I travel the world so much.
Can we all go ahead and declare this the best game on the PS4? I love TLG, Uncharted, and MGSV to death but this game is overwhelming. It has issues for sure but the overall gameplay, the world, the protagonist/story, and graphics...everything comes together to just blow me away. The thing that's even crazier is that I can still imagine so many improvements and additions for a sequel..the universe they've created is so creatively inviting in that sense.

55 hours in and I feel like I'm nearing the end. I wish this game would go on forever!!! Not sure if I'm ready to put it over witcher 3 as my game of the generation, but it's certainly up there.

Anyone in retail know how this game is doing? It looks like it's 3rd most bought videogame product on Amazon and is currently out of stock there(really dumb how this can be possible for a AAA game). So it's doing well there but some retail stories would be great.

If you mean how he avoided the attack the eyes flash just before it jumps. A few do that (all?).

Defeated my first Thunderjaw. I stripped it butt naked, was practically defenseless running off and shit. Picked up the disc launcher and tore it to shreds.
Where's the disc launcher located on its body anyway? I kept tagging it with tear arrows until there was nothing left so I've got no clue whare it came from.

I made the decision to just sell all of my crafting items havested from machines.
It really clutters the inventory to keep everything that could be useful.
Also, it's actually fun to use the errand system to hunt down the resources you want on a item by item basis. Hunting down a thunderjaw next to get some outfit, should be fun.

Shit, think I might have accidentally over-leveled because doing side quests & errands got addicting and took me all over the map. I completely obliterated the
when I encountered it.
The story is so damn interesting, I'm going to commit to not getting sidetracked when I sink my teeth back into this game tomorrow.

Guys, Im not sure overleveling should be a concern. I dont think your level affects any stats, only skills and perhaps access to certain weapons.
therealminime
Member
Yeah you get 10 more health on level up and more skills but those don't really have a huge impact on the game. It's not like Witcher where you just over level and one shot everything. No one should worry about over leveling, it's going to happen 100%.

Has anyone who's played this, also played Dragon's Dogma? Are they as similar as they seem?

How do you guys know what's good to sell? I'm not sure what I should keep or sell.
Neoleo2143

Hmm, I think Horizon's core is far stronger than Dragon's Dogma. Superficially they are similar but in reality the game is much more similar to Binary Domain I'd say.
When you highlight each item, it tells you what the item could be used for on the right side under the description of each item. If it say, "Trade with merchant" only, then I would sell it.
Also, don't forget to craft new bags for more space.

Question for those who've completed the game.
I'm at
I'm at
Deep Secrets of The Earth, and Sylens told me that I'm at a point of no return. Does this mean that I won't be able to finish other side quests and whatnot? Or is it just a long mission, and I should just be well prepared for it?
This game focuses much more on abilities, move-set, weapon function and ammo types in contrast to traditional stats. The coils (gems & sockets if you're a Diablo vet) are nearly the only source for stats increases.
Was unexpected because when I compared the Very Rare & expensive bows (of that particular type) to the bow given at start of the game I saw they had identical stats which made me scratch my head. But you eventually learn how huge an impact that extra ammo-type it supports and coil-slots end up having.
Similarly clothing and armor are all one-pieces. No separate glows, pants and headgear. It's a very focused game yet there's so much to do at any time. I find it really cool how strongly the focus is on crafting. I almost spend as much time upgrading my various pouches as I do my fighting gear. Also the game doesn't sell you good equipment purely with money (shards). All the vendors require money + certain resources (if that's fox pelt or a snapmaw electronical heart).

if it's the one with the tear shot, corruption, and the "piercing" (for lack of a better word, idk the damage name) shot, then you heard wrong.
the latter
This! Pretty much this! The extra ammo-type and coil-slots can tremendously help your battle.

Maybe it was my arrow modifications, all of it's components just popped off after two shots... or maybe the DeathBringer is just supposed to be really easy.
Will probably change the difficulty to Hard tomorrow.

It is the latter. You can go back to doing side quests and such, it'll just bit a little longer then the other main missions.

Anything that's listed as only for selling to traders is safe to sell. I've also started selling the items you trade for outfits/weapons if I own the weapon/outfit.
E.g. You already own a bow that requires a watcher heart and some metal. After I've bought the bow, I sell all my watcher hearts.

Turn DOF off and then drop the FOV as low as it will go, but pull the camera back a little.
Then you should be able to get really close, like so:
Metroidvania
People called Romanes they go the house?
To add to that, for the various machine parts, once you get further on in the main story and get access to Purple gear, they're only ever used for side quest requirements, or a one-time necessity to purchase certain weapons.
Once you know you've purchased the weapon/outfit which is associated with a certain 'heart' or 'lens' or what have you, you can start selling wholesale and get into the purple treasure chest gambling business
If need be, you can always find more later, either in the wild or
From a merchant in the main hub

I dont know which one that is. I only see the green and shadow (purple) one and both their stats are terrible.

Just got the platinum... 100% completition in ~47h of gameplay.
WOW! This is an incredible game! What those dutch bastards were able to achieve, omg!
Its at least as good, if not better that witcher 3. Its better than bloodborne, better than uncharted 4 and i knows these 4 games very well, platinum and dlcs. The gameplay is a collection of the best, the most interesting and fun parts from other games. the open world is alive, full of creatures, of settlements and stuff to do.
The story is EXCELENT! No stupid cliches, original, well done cutscenes, packed with emotions, action and sometimes humour.
Its one of those games that will stay with anyone who played it, even after
10/10
PS: the graphics... pure magic by guerilla. what they achieved with a ps4 pro its crazy. I played it on a pro, in hdr on an oled. Hundreds, not even kidding, of screenshots made.

the bullet type is way more important than the stat of it. you can also seriously buff them up with purple attachments.

The consistency, variety, and quality of all the character models in this game is nothing short of remarkable.
I am now 13 hours in.
- Game looks great. Character faces are a bit iffy at times while talking.
- Traversing the world is alright, climbing issues and invisible walls are very frustrating sometimes
- the gameplay loop reminds me heavily of the first Watch_Dogs - regularly going on an overpowered rampage, doing some side stuff that is not the overwhelming, all in all pretty awesome
- Story is alright so far.
Overall Horizon gives a good to great, but rarely excellent impression.

Just needed to say that I appreciate that Aloy stays in crouch mode when you jump, most games always have you back in your standard stance after hopping around.
