Yes! although I don't like the Rattler one bit but Sling is love. Ropecaster is also cool.
It would be awesome to do it with a Tear arrow and watch the results. Badass.
Just finished the game at 35 hours, level 49. Still plenty of stuff for me to go back and do but I'll probably put in on the shelf for now considering I still have Gravity Rush 2, Yakuza 0, Nioh, NieR, and Night in the Woods to play. And that's not even considering Mass Effect Andromeda and Persona 5 over the next few weeks! Some DLC would probably be enough to rope me back in.
Ending was perfect. I had hit a bit of a wall last time I'd played, which I'd mentioned here as well, and was worried about how the rest of the game would handle itself from then on out. Thankfully once I'd finished that particular mission, things picked right back up and finished out very strong. Aloy is an amazing character and I will love to see more of her in the future. Horizon is definitely going to be a good argument for one of my favorites of 2017.
Kudos, Guerrilla. You knocked it outta the park.

Can you play while downloading? There's only one download file (43GB)...
After Nier was such a huge disappointment (imo) I decided to buy Horizon.

Finished up the final quest and snagged the Platinum this morning. I really have only one major complaint about Horizon: Zero Dawn.
Y'all fucked up, Guerrilla.
This game has literal metal Chocobos and I cannot ride them.
Y'all fucked up, Guerrilla.

She has 3 different costumes so I'm guessing someone on the dev team really likes her

There's always a sequel or expansion to rectify that. Oh and it's "Fix this shit, GG"

Playtime is listed in the save file (top right corner) on manual save files. Just make a manual save and then go to make another one and look at the time on the top file (it's the one you just saved).
Other stats on enemies killed etc are in the menu in game.

Nope, I did that.
He re-appears later in the game as a friend.
Nope, Cauldrons are for lore and getting more overrides.

No, the main and only thing you get from completing Cauldrons is the ability to override new machines. They are fun to explore as well, and you can loot tons of stuff
I've had a sandstorm at a perfect moment, took my time to get some amazing shots of the atmosphere it creates.
I still can't believe this is something in game, the best part is it looks even better in game and in movement, there's heavy compression in those shots.
And one last, but it triggers me.
The Tallneck is ever so slightly off-center :'(

I've completed 10% of the game and had a question about weapons. At the moment I'm fucking around and randomly killing robots for the fun of it. I know there are freeze arrows and all that shit, do I get them through completing the main missions or do I need to go to a specific vendor?
I don't care about story (thank fuck for being able to skip the chit-chat) and want better weapons, I have to assume that the best weapons will only become available as I progress through the actual main missions. I think I should go hard into the main missions and when the world opens up a bit, dick around again.

Killed my first Sormbird in just over 6 seconds. Carried a heavy weapon from a bandit camp for about 10 minutes to bring this bird down. It was quite comical as he didn't have a chance.
You just need to travel further west and more vendors will start offering better gear. You'll need different parts from machines plus shards to purchase them.

I really hope this game is as good as your gifs, lol. I have to wait another 6 hours for the download to finish (
I've taken so many screenshots of those takedowns, especially the ones where she jumps on them (even the machines). And that gif glorifies them even more, thanks and awesome work yet again!

The Disc Launcher is so broken it's funny. Took
down to 50% health, and completely forgot about the launcher laying there. Took him from 50% to about 5% in 5 seconds flat

Well I could be wrong on the number but ooof is all I can say *obamawipeseyebrow.jpg*
Ah. Maybe not, I only put like 3 onto it. Maybe needs loooooaaaadsssss.

Yes on both slings
Double yes for ropecaster
Ymmv for rattler. Personally I'd recommend it against humans and to stun/freeze enemies who like to get up close and personal
The combat is just polished and feels good to control
For those playing on an OLED TV...
Do you find the lighting too dark at times? The lightning just drastically changes when running around and moving the camera. Specifically night time. When I move the camera around at night, the scene will go from perfect visibility to very dark.
I mean... I guess it's realistic but I honestly think it's a bug with the lightning engine or something that maybe isn't as visible on an IPS panel. It does it during conversations too when the camera angles change.
EDIT: Did some googling. This guy explains it better.

One other thing I like about the design of the game, you can't "screw yourself". You can't miss anything at all, you can always go back. Really nice.

Is there an actual quest that involves Petra ?
I've only met her for the first time in the last story mission.
I need to see more of her, it's important you guys

That's awesome.
I've updated the link with the latest gifs and will just add any new ones to there as well.

Yes, a quest and an errand. Talk to people in Free Heap, someone will give you a quest, eventually it will involve Petra.

Go to Free Heap, like someone else said. It's in the eastern part of the Carja lands, right past the northern gate from Nora territory.
Petra's pretty awesome. One of my favorite side characters, for sure.
