We should just be able to buy skins from a hunter/merchant.
The one thing I can't steal.

The Thunderjaw cauldron was weird. I found an alternate entrance and it put me right in the final boss room. i mean i am not complaining but i am wondering if it was by design.

Aloy is so awesome, love her personality. Such a shame people who don't play the game just write her off as "she is white and has dreads I am upset????"
I didn't notice this for 4 hours, it was a little embarrassing since I was streaming and someone was like "is there no stealth kill??" and I'm like "I guess not"
Tearblast is so good once you start to notice it. Easily rips off the annoying bits of boss tier monsters. Hate getting shot with that electric thing from Stormbirds? Like two shots'll remove it!
Fire arrows, they're the only enemies that overheat (but not the only ones weak to fire). Make the temp meter overflow and they get stunned and expose a weakpoint.

Is there any other way to get in? I was so confused as well since I just went in and bam the final boss was there. I was disappointed that it seems like this was not fully developed like the others but it would be amazing if there are multiple ways to get in with different lengths.
My son was watching me play last night and he asks, "When are the lego sets coming out?" I agree - creating some of the machines with legos would be really cool.

No that's just the point of it I think, it's harder to get in, but you go straight to the boss since the entrance is blocked.

Wait, I'm the same. Is there another way in? I thought it was strange to just get right to the main room but thought it was just a design choice to have it like that.

Have been a huge fan of GG after Killzone 2, one of my fav games and I'm elated at the success they are having with Horizon.
With barely any experience in RPG or open world type games, they have crafted a true masterpeice in Horizon. It was my most awaited game since the day they announced it and couldn't have asked for more. (i do actually, give me moar Horizon content GG!)

I usually just run up
tear the launchers off, freeze it then go to town with the launchers,
Seems like something GG could easily patch in. Why are you buying so many though, I must not be there yet.

Tried shooting them with Harvester arrows?
IDK if that works but I've never had trouble getting bones and skins from animals.
In my experience, killing them with an arrow tends to have a better chance of dropping the item than killing them with the spear.
Also, if you mark the job as an errand in the quest tab, that also tends to spawn more of that animal and higher drop rate of required resource.
Could be pure RNG at the end though..

I think he means wires, and i posted the same thing a couple pages back.
it's annoying because i'm flush with shards, but need to buy wire constantly (for some of the sharpshooter bow arrows) and i literally have to sit there and press and hold the X button over 100 times.
Not sure how that one slipped through QA honestly

Wire becomes super important for the higher level arrow types. You can usually keep enough by killing plenty of lower level machines, but if you're using a lot of the specialty arrows and the trip/ropecaster, you can burn through them rather quickly.
And yes, there NEEDS to be a buy multiple button.
I'm definitely in the same boat with wires. I'll usually buy like 40 before I leave a settlement.

Woohoo I finally got my fish skins. I tried my luck at the maize settlements

It's pure RNG. i use the harvest arrows and have the errand quest active and it still drops common items like meat 50% of the time. when it does drop an uncommon or rare item, it's not the one i need. For some reason the game has been dropping tails recently which fucking sucks because all i need is skins or bones to buy the damn outfits. i have 5000 metal shards and cant buy anything because not all rabbits have skins apparently.

Everyone needs wire in here. I have never once been low on wire. What am I doing wrong?

Wait do Harvest Arrows drop more materials for small animals too??
They probably just use trip/ropecasters far more than we do. I've never run low on any ammo-making thing other than wood a couple times (you can buy 200 for almost nothing), but I main the quick now which is crazy cheap, and elemental weakness exploitation

Guerrilla returns the favor to CD Projekt Red:
What's up with his tiny ass crossbow? Surprised no one has mentioned that lol

I haven't tried harvester arrows but I don't think that'll affect anything. I think Guerilla should patch in higher drop rates. Logically speaking every kill should give bone, skin, and meat.
To divert attention from his huge... sword.
Goddamn, just did the Quarry mission. That fight (and robot) is TENSE.
One thing I really feel GG nailed is the attack tracking of the robots. Whenever they rev up and gun for you, it's always a super-close call, especially with the bigger robots. I like the fact that you can't sit on your ass if you want to survive.

What annoys me as well is that there are some who cannot differentiate between braids and dreads. They're braids goddamnit

Anybody that doesn't like Aloy is a fool. She's got plenty of personality and legitimately funny. Oh boy that's great, I hope they're not that hard to craft. I've been trying to not use them for that very reason.
Geralt uses a small, one-handed crossbow in TW3.
It does look rather, uhh, underwhelming next to Aloy's...

My only gripe with game so far is that you can't fast travel directly from the "show on map" prompt when tagging a quest. You have to back out to the main map and go from there.
Other than that, it's brilliant.

Based on analysis by DF you get solid performance regardless of your ps4 system. Pro does give you way prettier effects though
Yeah minor gripe for me as well

They're only hard to craft before you start getting Echoshell materials from enemies. I forget what drops them, but eventually they're abundant.
It's not likely to be "just" those games and PS4 Pro exceeded my expectations on a 1080p TV so I'd say yes personally. PS4 pro support is shaping up to be a lot more common than I thought (though Japanese games are still behind on supporting it). Gravity Rush 2 was also fantastic, if a game targets 4K you can basically guarantee no noticeable aliasing on 1080p.
Yeah that too, I never understood the hate. Her hair is complicated as hell and a bit messy, but that's not what dreads look like. There are people with actual dreads, but dang. Generally speaking I find the cultural complaints to be really wonky and I don't think those people have played the game at all. But it's major spoilers to explain exactly all why. I don't think those people plan to actually play the game or care about it all though so I try not to let it bug me too much, I just enjoy the game.

I mean - just look at it - of course it was risky, but so glad they decided to go with it - most def the best game I've played on PS4 so far
I'm usually rushing through the world in these types of games, but I've been taking my time just exploring, Sunday night, 3 hours later I haven't even made progress on the main quest.
Really intense fight. Hadn't seen the enemy there before and it was so surprising cause I didn't expect a massive boss and fight.

Blasts air so hard that it rips off components from the enemy. One round at a time so its not quite like the rattler but does have a strong tearing effect as the name implies
Thanks everyone. I'll get it in my next session.

Yeah I usually started all of the megafauna boss fights with triple tearblast arrows to a few vital areas to remove some of their more annoying capabilities. Then I would ropecast them down and then attack their weakpoint (elemental canisters) for massive damage!
Dosen't hurt that I had like 3x 40%+ Tear mods on that bow, rips shit off quick. Probably a little game-breaking in fact.
Juggling this and Zelda has been a bit of a bear. I dedicated Saturday to Zelda and Sunday to Horizon, and made good progress on both. It also helped me appreciate what each one does differently (although there are a ton of similarities).
Coming back to Horizon's graphics after spending a day playing Zelda... jesus christ. Incomparable.

I haven't actually played Zelda, but I've heard about it from almost all the reviewers I follow

For me it was raccoons. I couldn't walk ten feet without tripping over a rabbit.
No, it's the only way in.
It's more difficult to get in because it's heavily guarded
Post apocalyptic rabbits have no skin.

I just kept my distance and stayed way far back, they never even came close to me.
