This is hilarious. You haven't even done the first story mission yet and you are complaining about the game not grabbing you. Proving is the second story mission in the game. I mean i understand wanting to start with an explosive opening setpiece, but ffs you are literally at the start of the game. You asked what you are missing, well you are missing EVERYTHING. You have seen maybe 1% of the game lol.
Maybe I am getting too old but posts like this I just cant handle anymore.
Go to the Vendor and look under Treasure Boxes.

Every time I was near a animal Aloy would start talking about a place to control the animals. I never understood why or cared until I watched a twitch stream last night and somebody found a location of the place that you see in the end credits. I was like ohhh, that's what she was talking about lol
All you had to say instead of being territorial my guy.
Holy moly the thunder jaws.. came across it for the first time just after a bonfire and I was about to finish for the day so I figured I'd have a go at it. Started off well by riding a robo bull into its patrol path and then hiding in the bushes for it to notice. blasted off the disc launcher and got its health down to half. Then it one-shot me with its tail 
Does it only have one disc launcher? I wish the notebook would have a little 3D model of the creatures so you could rotate them to better see where the different components are. Sometimes they're a bit tricky to see

You made it through the entire game without even entering
a Cauldron

Most have 2, I think some are battle damaged, the big things on their lower backs.

My guy, your posts were a bit silly.
That is some mighty praise
it's like a completely different game once you go across to
Carja territory (the deserts/jungles).

Anyone not playing this on hard is doing themselves a disservice. Having to actually respect the aggro of the machines is incredible.

The world of Horizon Zero Dawn is filled with a plethora of mysteries, but none are more mysterious than this:
Fuck that. I played on Normal for most of the game and fuck that.
At about 44 hours and 79 percent completion. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I think I only have one or two missions left.
Great game.
Great game.
The combat is a lot of fun and that's what motivates me around the world. That and the pretty places.
Just did it. Thanks! What is the best: Carja or Banuk?
man, this game is just something else. i knew that fighting robodinos would probably be cool, but never thought the story and all thosse little details in the (audio)logs would be this interesting and engaging to me. really liking aloy as well.
came across a weird bug today, where you couldn´t focus tag enemies and their awareness displays were gone as well. found out that the fix is to get flashed by a watcher.

What's the best way to take out a snapmaw?

If that's what there called, yep lol
I did more side missions then I thought I would. But I keep my focus on the main story majority of the time. I wasn't trying to get catched outside by a dinosaur.

Can you tell what/where these are.

Fire. Lay down fire bombs, fire wires and target their canisters with fire arrows. If they canisters explode you get an easy kill.

I just hit the two canisters that are visible on their backs when they're in water with fire arrows. Try to time it so that they're close to each other if there's multiple because it's a big explosion.

It has two cannisters that you can shoot with fire arrows that will create an explosion.

Thanks guys
Someone else may have to speak up about that. I only purchased the normal game.

I like to tie down Snapmaws before going after them with the fire just so I can situate myself properly. Those fuckers leap so much farther than I expected.
I had my first encounter with the Thunderjaw yesterday. Holy fuck how terrifying. Those things are much smarter than the other machines and seem to hunt you down for a very long time.

so once you finish the main story you can just go mop up the rest of the trophies?

I know where that is. I guess the patch didn't fix it.
Indeed. Combat is great and monsters are some of the best made in the industry.
Each big robot here is as good or even better than a good Souls boss.
I hope GG actually realize that and make the inevitable DLC about fighting new robots/new cool weapons and nothing else.
Fuck human enemies.

I have a confession. I still haven't used the ropecaster, and I finished the game last night.

The game might have been somewhat advertised as an "actual RPG", but many already said how it wasn't going to be one based on what was being shown months prior to release. Hell, when the developer even says "keeping the RPG elements light" you have to keep your expectations in check, since so many games anymore have "RPG elements" that aren't RPGs.
It's as much of an RPG as either of the Tomb Raider reboots. Generic dialogue options don't change that.
Good for you. I tried it more than a few times, but never actually found it to be useful for any situation ever. So you spared yourself some grief. People mention how you can tie down Glinthawks (I just pretty much kill them almost instantly anyway) or Stormbirds (I just freeze them and then quickly kill them) or some other random situation. While those options might work, I still don't see the need for it, especially since you can't really keep them roped and kill them.
Human enemies ain't so bad if they didn't have so many you have to deal with at one time. Anytime you alert them every single one comes after you, its insane. Thank gawd for Tripwires.
Serious? It makes taking down the big machines so well.

One thing I wasnt doing enough is using Concentration and also bought the Warbow...some where saying it was bad but isnt that the only way to have freeze and shock arrows...combat is getting much easier now...
Saw my first Thunderjaw but decided not to try it lol...I was in the middle of a qu*cough*est ;P

Yeah I couldn't fight large groups without the Ropecaster. Playing on Hard tho.

Haha nice. You can get by in this game w/out using half of the arsenal easily I feel. Much more skill based than what type of weapon you're carrying. The different weapons variety does help tremendously and adds more depth to the encounters though and how you potentially tackle them. The options are there to fit your playstyle, which is excellent. Hats off to GG, seriously.
I realized the joy of using the ropecaster last night on some of the larger enemies. Took down a stormbird in a third of the time pinning it to the ground. Same with a thunderjaw. The ropecaster might be a bit too good in taking down the bigger beasts.
It's way more of an RPG than the first Tomb Raider reboot. Like come on, what kind of nonsense is this?
Sanctuary

Tripwires or any of the grenade types from the Blast Sling to kill them en masse.
Just freeze them.
I know some desperately want that to be true, but it really isn't.

i love taking them down over freezing. it's pretty epic seeing them struggle as you try to knock off more armor.

Resource pouch fully upgraded. Now I can feel better about collecting so much stuff.
Some robots have power cell's as weak points, but not as lootable items. You can destroy them for good damage but that's all.
derp...

I am in an area with a canyon.... on the other side of the canyon was a tent that you have to walk down a little bit to cross a bridge. in said tent was a bunch of audio clips.
I listened to said audio clips and during that time forgot I was on the other side of a canyon and when I walked outside I walked right into the canyon and died @_@
(those who are far enough likely know the area I am talking about, but it's vague enough that it isn't a spoiler lol)
