What's up with some of you not knowing about R2 to increase accuracy/range of bow/slingshot? It was so obvious for me from the get go. Bows and slingshots have to be stretched on real life so it makes sense to use R2 doesn't it?

Sorry just dont know its name.

Stalkers drop it consistently

 

[FusedAtoms]

Storm bird fights are so much more fun and more challenging than fighting a thunder jaw. Tbh I found fighting a thunderjaw to be quite underwhelming because his disc launchers kill him so fast.

I was wandering around (I don't remember exactly what area was it) and my controller and the camera started to tremble, felt like an earthquake. Did not see any giant robots or something similar nearby. Are there earthquakes in the game?

Longlegs are your best bet. Stalkers are harder to kill unless you use tearblast arrows but that defeats your purpose.

Ropecaster is such a joy to use. Not that it's super strong but seeing the mech trying to lunge at you but then get pulled by the rope is just amazing.

Yeah it's easily harder and more challenging than thunderjaw.

It's not even close

1. menu > crafting > capacity. It lists the requirements to increase the capacitiy of the resources,weapons, outfits,ammo etc pouches

2. Not really, it's random, you could purchase the scavenger+ skill to increase your chances or use Harvest arrows.

1. To increase the amount of inventory space, you’re going to need to open up the inventory menu by pressing on the Touchpad. From here, navigate to the Crafting tab and then locate the Carry capacity area.

2. Yeah, there's two ways that can increase your chances to get the heart. Either use Harvest Arrows on the Shell-Walkers, or the easiest, buy the Shell-Walker heart from a vendor at Meridian.

yet. Really fucking loving this game. It kind of feels like a culmination of a lot of games I love but with a bit of a twist there, too. The story is really intriguing, and man do I want more lore! Really hoping some of the lore entries pick up in the latter half of the game because I really love that sort of stuff. The combat is spectacular. It's fast-paced, heart-bumping, yet fair. Everything feels dangerous but in a good way. The music is fucking phenomenal, the voice acting is pretty good and I love a lot of the characters so far.

Not even done playing this one but I really hope this becomes a nice series for a while. I could see an improvement of this just being absolute perfection.

To be fair, I didn't fight thunderjaw fairly. Got help from other robots.

Still though his weapon is OP as fuck and you can't do the same against stormbird.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Avad caught feels too


Also the ancient armor is so OP. Nothing was a challenge after I got that.

shock arrows wreck them. coincidentally they are also good against longlegs.

Man got past the Carja Border Fort yesterday & encountered Glinthawks for the first time in the desert valley, as well as a Stormbird. Preceded to have an epic match against the Glinthawks & bull enemies (forgot their names) that went on for like 10 minutes - it was the most intense battle I've had in the game yet. Using the Ropecaster to tie down the Glinthawks after knocking them out of the sky with fire arrows to the beak is SOOOOOOOO satisfying!

Depends on how secret you mean? As in just exploring and find it? Nah. There's a weapon and armor set that are exclusive to side quests though

Does this game have the best combat of any open world game ever? Possibly story, too? I haven't finished yet, but it's feeling that way for me.

It's up there. MGS 5 might win the battle on some fronts but it's a close one.

 

[Emperor_Uriel]

Alloy x Varl is the only option.

There are so many characters that seem like they're interested in her, I wonder if romance was the plan originally and got dialed back for some reason?

-Varl (the most likely to be canon, in my opinion)

-Erend

-Avad (the only one where Aloy hints at interest if you pick the heart option during a certain dialogue)

-Petra (if Aloy swings that way)

It's really weird when there are these big emotional scenes with these characters expressing immense fondness for her, and she's all "yeah, I guess you're cool too" and that's it.

Then again, I guess she's basically the equivalent of a home-schooled kid with no friends and zero knowledge of social interaction, so it makes sense that she seems so clueless when people hint about romance and sex.

Started last night. Liked how things started both getting to the title and beyond. Got to the point where you get your first few skill points before stopping. Trying to figure what would be good to spend them on, though I don't know what would be good or how fast I'll gain more.

Right now out of the first row I'm thinking:
Silent Strike
Concentration
Either Gatherer or Scavenger. I'll want both eventually of course.

Yeah I'm really not a fan of how easy it is to kill Thunderjaws. They were a lot more fun to fight before I had tear arrows. Ever since I got tear they never even get to use their radar scans.

I'm also not fond of how easy it is to override an enemy. IMO it should be extremely high risk, like have to tie the enemy down, blow off a shielding panel and then override it. It should be something that is done in battle IMO rather than a stealth tactic where it's too OP.
