My main issue with the melee is how the camera loses it's goddamn mind whenever you are in close quarters with an enemy.
It's the only way to fight a Stormbird
Lmao, yea I love it too, I use my ranged weapons the least. Mainly for traps and birds, but that's probably it.

Melee could see a huge improvement if they hire someone who know's close range combat and find a way to incorporate the it to the ranged combatyou know I was kidding around, but if you got the right Plat team on it the melee for horizon 2 could be crazy... but if you had the right plat team on it then no one would want to do ranged
But I do.
Yep. Its gotta me killed a couple of times.
Yea, we'll enter a secret base and we'll see "Fucking Robots" "Fuck this war!" "Oh fuck which day are we today?!" This is so fucked up man!" "FUCK!" written in blood all over the walls.

Played some more after beating to clean up a few things. Decided to seek out all the campfires so I could find all the settlements and do any sidequests I found that way. Knocked out 3 more decent side quests from that. Also cleared out the corrupted zones and the last bandit camp, and hit level 50.
Now I'm done.. I don't feel like bothering with the hunting lodge challenges (did the sidequest line that opened after doing a few), knocking over the training dummy or finding the couple of power cells I missed. Data log wise, for the story related ones I only missed one audio, one hologram and one text. Missed a bunch of the world data logs of course.
Final playtime a bit over 53 hours. Loved every bit of it.

Finished up all the sidequests (from what I can gather, there's nothing else on my map anymore) and only have the main quest left to go. Been having a great time with this game and kind of bummed I'll probably be done in the next day or two.
It's amazing how good you get at taking down machines as the game progresses. I used to have a hard time dealing with a couple of longlegs, now I can pretty much destroy anything methodically. Switching between different weapons to take machines down faster is so satisfying.

I completed The M
main quest, and
ountatin That Fell
FUCK TED. I knew after hearing Margo's audio log that it was going to bad, but I wasn't expecting him to be responsible for the destruction of Apollo. I don't know why Hades went extra AWOL yet (I don't think I've missed something? Maybe I did?), but hopefully Ted didn't have anything to do with it. fucccckkkk tedddddd Very clever how Sobek's journals seem to be under repair, and I'm assuming gradually unlock, as only one has popped up thus far. The final audio logs were heartbreaking and fascinating, especially Margo's philosophising.

Because it wasn't enough of a pain getting raccoon skins, now they're becoming resistant to arrows
yes, that's a raccoon running with an arrow sticking out of its neck. That wasn't the first time it happened.

I want to complain about the level 20 cauldron with the snap whatever in it and not much else
I have fully filled out the collecfing skill tree so don't really have the power to take this thing out even after laying out a ton of traps etc as there is no stealth, it's fight head-on and run/roll only. It's hard to get time to aim for components. At level 23 I don't think it's easy to do. What am I missing?

Thought I'd come in here and say how much I'm enjoying this game. It's so so good, loving everything about it.
Had a small question: does anyone else have trouble getting Strider hearts? I've set my sights on a set of armor I want to buy from the merchants, but as soon as I did, I haven't been able to get a heart to drop lol. Is there a good site to try aim for one?

Pray harder to the RNG Gods
or keep hunting at strider sites.Sometimes resource supply boxes give them too
Finished everything and got the platinum in around 30 hrs.
Enjoyed it a lot . Probably the most fun I've had with an open-world game of its type in quite awhile. Wasn't sure about it at first, but kept my pre-order due to the reviews. Happy to report that Gurrilla really did do an excellent job. As much as I loved KZ2, I can definitely see them being known for Horizon going forward.

Can I open those blazing sun boxes from hunter challenges or do I have to give it to the lady merchant? I opened one by accident.

Nah just open them
Use tearblaster arrows near their blaze canisters, then use fire arrows on those same canisters so they explode (just like on Grazers). That should take out like half of their health. Then run around using the tripcaster (blast) which does a lot of damage if they run over it. Overall this is just one way, there are a million ways to do it. You gotta figure out the best way for you. Look at the weaknesses.
Soon you'll be able to take on two at the same time easily. You just gotta get better

Nice! I'll buy GR2 as a thank you.
yup. if you want a one on one match it's not that hard to do.
and if you want to make human combat trivial also just whistle them to a bush and sneak attack them
the whistle is quite powerful.
corrupted zone...
burn burn burn burn burn.
>.>
as for stalkers in general,I used a tear arrow to take away their cloak and then rope caster to get them down and then used my crit hit against it (or just bashed it with my stick)
they are smaller so it only takes 2-3 ropes with the stronger ropecaster to get them down for a while.
Thanks all! I'll definitely try some of your tactics today.
This game is so exciting, there are tons of ways to take out every machine...
And I really gotta get the ropecaster it seems.

Anyone know where to get fox skin? I've killed sooooooo many foxes and just got meat. I want that Shadow Rattler.
All the wildlife near, and in, towns are unkillable. Maybe that's what's happening here.

I got the platinum last week, and I'm still playing it every night! My brother wants to borrow it, so I think it's time to stop for awhile. I need to start Breath of The Wild anyways.
What a fantastic game I'll likely come back to it if a NG+ is added, or if there are any other substantial updates.

thanks, but this was pretty far away from anything.
So far I've seen arrows go in raccoons and do zero damage three times, and several more times it's seemed like my arrows phase right through them.
A single raccoon skin is all I need for my very last pouch upgrade, and I've trying to get one for days. I've been getting tons of bones, though! ...
I just read through all of them. I got some serious feels right now.

Fun fact: Tom Clarke Hill (Rico's voice actor) also voices Kendert (Gera's husband).

Damn you are taking your time. My platinum time was a tick over 36 hours. I still have a few side missions to do and I have a few missing data logs. Will probably jump back in just to take in the scenery some more.

Yeah Nil was fantastic, would love to see more questlines like that in the sequel. Great writing and great performance from both of them.
Purposefully agro-ing sawtooths, ravagers, longlegs etc., gaining some distance on them, allowing them to charge at you, subsequently hitting their joint/leg mid-charge and watching as their weight transfers forward and they lose balance and tumble face first into the dirt... silly robo
There are few things as satisfying.
Nope, that one's quite brief
