This game, it's something else. Got it Monday and played it some. Woke up early to play it Tuesday before work. Played it on Wednesday some, after work. Didn't touch it Thursday, Friday I played Zelda some on Switch.
Yesterday (Saturday) and today I have put the bulk of my time in (almost 20 hours in total between Sat and Sun but 34 hours overall) and boy does Guerilla have a gem in their hands. As an open world game it doesn't nothing revolutionary. It does the conventions of open world games very very well but it doesn't redefine the genre. But the combat, the combat against those RoboDinos is something else. It's almost like sex, it's so darn good. Aloy feels great to handle, the multiple bows, the ropecaster, the slingshot (which I don't use much) it's all sooooo good.
I always do my homework and scan enemies, I read my notebook before going into battle and take out the enemies very methodically. When facing off against multiple different enemies and you have the right set of weapons to take them on...I can only describe it as a very choreographed scene.
And it's so very pretty. I bought a 4K/HDR TV in November specifically for this game and boy am I glad I did. The beautiful photos I take and continue to take. The Moonlight coming out from behind a building and splashing in the ground, the light the enemies give off at night. Such a pretty pretty game.
Killed my first two Thunderjaws today and that was something else. Stormbird fight?? Sooo good. Rockbreaker? Too that ugly mother down. Killer a Ravager with his own cannon? You bet I did. Destroy the Bellowback's backside? You betcha. Kamikaze Snapmaw? Unfortunately for me yes. I pried off the coverings to a Snapmaw's blaze canisters and got to close. I shot off a fire arrow to finish him off and he pounced on me, the blast taking him and Aloy out.
Horizon ZD is "EMERGENT GAMEPLAY". My friend is playing the game and he decided to finish off all the cauldrons, allowing him to control all the RoboDinos. I've focused on grinding the max capacity of my ammo pouches and have generally been a more stealthy player but still packing a punch. Shell-Walkers were trouble for me until I found out what a Tearablast arrow was.
I can go on and on without saying, really nothing at all as I am now. But this game is a revelation. Gameplay is King and Horizon has no peers.
Are you guys experiencing dark colors in your saved clips??
Colors of my saved videos are all messed up
Yup. I saved a couple vids and playing them back they look oversaturated af. The PS4 does warn me saying that colors may be different due to HDR. But this oversaturation is too much.
