I just totally cheesed the double Rockbreaker corruptor zone. Climb on to a rock formation high enough to be totally out of reach and then sink about 50 amped up fire arrows into each one. You may catch a rock to the dome every once in a while, but it's nothing a health pack can't fix. Fuck you one hit kill melee attacks. Double purple mods off each one mmm mmm.

It's saying I have max inventory on wood when I try to pick it up, but I have 0. What do?

I really hope that they resolve some of the cheesing strategies in the future.
I would like the Horizon series to feature multiplayer at some point, and this just won't do. The issue is that they're not inaccessible either. Even ignoring the less accessible ones like getting to a location out of their reach, it's very easy to just walk out of range of most enemies because there's only so far they can go.
If you go too far, many enemies just sort of glitch out and keep trying to walk back to the region they're supposed to be 'patrolling'. It makes the fight very underwhelming.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
You maxed out your overall inventory. You can only have so many stacks of items. Some items stack to 255 per stack, (like wood) some only 1.
There's just room in some of the stacks of other items for more stuff. A new item type always requires a new stack, which is why you can't collect any.
Yeah I'm wondering if it's glitched. I find it hard to believe they meant for it to go from night to day so quickly. The transition needs to be longer.

Snapmaws are pretty easy to take out for me now but man that first time I ran into them, I put down a shock wire and he lunged right over that shit towards me with his mouth open and I'm pretty sure I almost pissed my pants.

The upper limit of how much you can have of one item is stack limit times inventory size. It's possible to have like 17,000 of that item, in theory.
They were totally in range, just out of melee range. My precision bow now does 108 straight damage looooool.
Protip: after sinking about 100 arrows in that one encounter, if you want to do a lot of damage quickly and your target is stationary only pull back the string about half way on the hunter bow before letting her fly. Damage on each shot is the same, but obviously you're landing a lot more frequently.
I don't think it's glitched. Might have to do with how they're doing their lighting system, which consistently looks great pretty and it's difficult to find a bad looking time of day unlike many games with dynamic time change. Going from sunny to stormy rain is pretty jarring and sudden too. Flicking between two certain time points In photo mode shows almost two different lighting presets between the transition from dusk and night, the colors completely change like an on and off switch.

I just blow up their canisters with fire arrows, some melee or precission arrows to support the fire and done.
The night lighting and atmosphere in the moonlight is easily my favorite in any game. It is phenomenal and looks absolutely gorgeous with the lush vegetation and pristine IQ on the Pro. Just jaw dropping gorgeous at times to walk/ride around and soak it all in.
Sony needs to give them a big ass budget and at least 4+ years for Horizon 2 cause it'll be worth it. Even though it probably won't take as long this time since most of the engine work seems to be finished(?) I can't wait for a second one, seriously.

Pretty sure I finished all of them. Which one is the tutorial? Since I think different versions of the weapon have different tutorials.
So...dont do that? Its like complaining that you can shoot certain bosses forever with arrows from a safe location in Souls games. You dont have to do it there and you dont have to do it here either.
This isnt even a defense force type of reply, as Im not enamored with it as most are, but people that break games and then complain about breaking games is always weird to me.

I very much doubt they will. Like I said earlier there's dialogue of Aloy talking to herself (but really the player) and telling you how to cheese... not only telling you how to cheese but actually suggesting that you do it.

Every now and then I hear a little noise like a whistle immediately followed by what sounds like a brief distant howl. In certain areas it seems to repeat. I dont see wildlife around.

With a sequel, I hope they build upon what makes the first one great. Please don't add meaningless stats. I don't care for armor that gives me so and so defense. I'd rather not even have that as it's currently implemented.
I'd much prefer they iterate on the playstyle model they have currently. Make outfits give you unique abilities (as opposed to stats). Replace mods with smaller unique abilities as well. Just go all out on creating an assortment of unique ways by which to take down robots.
I'd love it if outfits and mods gave you advantages like extra ammo, being able to notch more arrows and so on in the sequel than, "WOW this armor gives me +10 to this stat."

How big is the game's map compared to other open worlds (like Witcher 3 or even Breath of the Wild)?

Yup this
kill multiple enemies with the bombs using the sling. blast sling
I don't really know. But it feels RDR sized.
My biggest complaint probably. Most of them are just unnecessary filler.

It's obviously hard to measure scale of a world in a game since movement speed and actual distance scale can be so all over the place but going off of feel alone, I would say that Horizon's world feels a like the Velen/Novigrad map with White Orchard on there too.
But I am not 100% sure. I spent so much time in Witcher 3's world that the size of it eventually sort of dissipated to me.

yup i wish it was more gradual. the lighting and weather is all pretty well done, but the clock that triggers it all is very strange.
First of all, go to the (touch-pad menu) > Crafting > Carry Capacity > ***complete all of these upgrades*** - it'll improve how you're playing the game and also help you out later. Yeah I'm some guy on a forum, at least this time trust some guy on a forum. It will take awhile to hunt/find all of the parts, but every chance you get to upgrade in that menu, upgrade.
Second, go to a vendor, if you don't know where one is or can't find one head to a town/camp/whatever has people in it - look on your compass for a "horns sign" and talk to them. Hit R2 so your'e on "sell" and go through the menus and sell everything you don't need. WHICH IS: On the "resources" screen sell anything that says something close to, but ONLY "sell for shards". Things that say that and other things are useful for trading in to other merchants. Basically, you keep conquering the map and then selling stuff that only says "to sell" - lots of ancient debris & taking out forts will net you these things, and it'll be worth a lot of money.
On the "modifications" screen, unless you're having a great time plugging in mods to low level armor, sell every single green piece. They will never be worth saving.
note: Every single time you're on this screen. Sell every green piece, trust me.
Between the last two things you'll have a ton of money the entire time. Also the first chance you get to buy the purple item that lets you fast travel, buy that and then sell all fast travel packs - **every single time you're at a merchant**
Make it a point to be constantly selling things, and you'll always have inventory space & money. PS - always sell stacks of plants/wood/materials when you have two full stacks of them.
Ok I'm passing out, night
I haven't even explored more than maybe 20% of BOTW's world so it's hard to say, but I would guess it's probably 1/4th to 1/3rd of the size of BOTW's map. It all feels so dense though because there's just SO MUCH detail in it. I would like a bigger map in the sequel just because it's so beautiful and I want to explore more, but I haven't ever felt like "man, I wish this was bigger" while playing. It feels like a big world, helped at least some by it's diverse locations.
I haven't played Witcher 3 so I couldn't tell you there, but I know it's definitely smaller than W3's.

I think it's the sound of the watchers. I only hear it when they're around.
It's rather small compared to the bigger open world games, but it's pretty diverse and detailed.
There are enemies and threats everywhere so traversing in the world is so much slower compared to the others.
Are you sure your inventory isnt just filled with other items? Try dumping or selling a bunch of your other items and see if it goes away

the photo mode is such a simple thing that gives this game a deceptive amount of replay value. i think i've spent 20% of my playtime in it.
i hope they can patch in some additional features. the ability to detatch the camera from aloy or would be so helpful.

I want to see what it's like to play without icons littering the ground. It's odd you can turn off most other things but not this.

Yea, it's strange. Especially as the pickups are fairly easy to identify as well visually, so it probably wouldn't negatively impact the gameplay much.

I posted the same complaint here yesterday. My interest was starting to dip with all these samey side quests. Got the advice to push through with the main quest because things will heat up soon. Boy am I glad I followed through with that, the main quest really starts to pick up after you got to Meridian, I think I'll just have to pace myself better with a few side quests in between.
IKR. I can easily spend an hour taking just one photo. Do you know there is an option to hide Aloy in Photo mode? That's as close to "detaching" the camera as we can get. I guess the technology just can't allow the player to detach the camera and go anywhere they want to, otherwise the engine would have to render everything in the world, rather than just the objects within your proximity.

it'd be cool to have a 'cinematic' experience without the hud on at all.
I just think we should be able to go further away from her because when you adjust the field of view to do it, it distorts the image.

Yeah the NPCs in the game have really grown on me. From Varl's sister (who was so wonderfully voice acted and written that I expected her to be a major player), to Varl, to Nil, Avad, the Hunting Lodge crew...
It's amazing how close Guerrilla came to The Witcher 3's level of awesome NPC characterization on their first attempt.

The animals should drop it. Just keep hunting them.
I prefer running them over with my steed.
