Yep tried that, switched DNS to attempt to get a better CDN. Just horrible. Have a 130DL speed so should get bare minimum 6MB/s but horizon is downloading at 1. Sometimes less. Oh the joys of PSN.

Oh sorry I forgot how open this game is lol your 2nd cauldron may not be mine. It's the Zeta cauldron
One of the early cauldrons seems to require that you
enter through an "alternative route" that drops you off at a Thunderjaw and there's no way to climb back up.

the one he's referring to is
the one with the thunderjaw

I also didn't jump down. So maybe that helped. I scanned it and was like na I'm good.

This stuff is just funny.
Anyway, can't wait to join you all this weekend! Now to find a way to get a Pro and a good 4k TV on the cheap lol.
4K mode is all you need. Performance mode (1080p, locked 30fps, no enhanced visuals) has literally no merit, since 4K mode already runs very stable 99% of the time.
holy shit I just had a mind blown realization about some end game from thinking about something here.
This game. Holy shit.
Damn, I don't know what to tell you. I have 47 mbps and it pre-loaded in around two hours on Sunday. I guess PSN is just spotty like that.
What about side quests/errands? I mean I did some in the prologue of sorts that explicitly make reference to
not being allowed to speak to Aloy but doing it anyway, which obviously changes after the events of The Proving.

Heck with the favorite female character, I'm leaning towards favorite character, EVER. The whole feeling like an outsider really hits home and I think will hit home with a lot of people. Just wanting to belong and feeling wanted is a theme that tugs hard at the ol' heart strings.
Oh, and she's a red head, so that's cool

I've done several testing and I concluded that dynamic contrast is the way to go for hdr gaming. (Not in sdr )

The coolest part is that you can tap (not click) the touch pad to show everything for a few sseconds, then it slowly fades back away.
SO COOL!!
Word of advice don't listen to anything xviper says. If you need proof go through his post history. If you want valid criticisms without the hyperbole/trolling he's better off on your ignore list like everyone in the nioh thread did, or anything other than MG and Souls really.

lol ruh roh. The last main story mission I did was
Capture Dervahl in Meridian. How far do you think I am in the main story?

Don't get hit? Haha jk my advise would be to try your best not to get spotted and kind of pre plan your fights out with traps and such. Also maybe invest in stealth skills in your skill tree if you haven't done so already. Getting the watchers to come to you and stealth kill them is helpful.
You gotta try harder than this son, come on now...
I don't know what to do I really want the Collector's Edition but when I went to buy it before it was sold out everywhere except Amazon where the Canadian version of Amazon was selling it for nearly $400 which is ridiculous. I game a lot but I have never bought a Collector's Edition before and i've noticed as well that when the game comes out you'd be hard pressed to find the Collector's Edition anywhere. What are my options? Do I wait until maybe Gamestop or some other retailer will have another batch to sell?
I haven't looked forward to a game like I have been looking forward to this for a long time

I need to get better at planning. I always set up traps and shit and the damn robots then run the other direction lol.

I didn't say it was the average score given to games, but that on a 10-point scale it is a signifier of a middle-of-the-road, or 'average' game. I won't even get into the fact that you're right about your second point, cause that's an issue with how much of the scale reviewers generally use (which thankfully has improved over the last few years).
I know what happens, I read the spoilers. I'm not going to repeat it here obviously but it's not some transcendent special narrative, it's a typical AAA story.
And my agenda? I literally said I was interested in picking it up when it drops in price. I played the game at a show and it was cool but not 'gotta have it' amazing. Uncharted 4 also got 90+ reviews and I'd call that just a pretty mediocre game with a shit-ton of polish. If I have an agenda whatsoever it's that I'd like more people to understand reviews are inherently subjective things, you're allowed to disagree with a reviewer, and jumping to vehemently defend games that have been out for less than 24 hours is a really weird trait of gaming communities.
Play the game, make your own opinion. It's fine if you like a game, it's fine if you dislike a game. Just don't shout about reviewers having ulterior motives just cause they disagree with you.
No-one gets into games journalism because they don't like videogames, they might just like different games to you.
For me, I traded in my PS4 to GameStop and bought the PS4 Pro right there. They applied my PS4 credit right to the Pro and it was incredibly simple.
Just need to make sure you have every cable and accessory (except the shitty PS4 wire mic) to give over to GameStop.

I did the same a few months back. I even brought in an extra controller and some games I didn't play. Ended up paying like 50 bucks for the ps4 pro.

That doesn't fix the problem at all. I tried messing with all of the dynamic contrast settings too, and it does absolutely nothing.
I'm only two hours in, but so far it's actually not doing much for me. With the ridiculous graphical problems I'm having, and the day/night cycles that seem to be stuck on ludicrous speed, it's not leaving a good first impression. It will literally be mid afternoon when I'm at the top of a mountain. I slide down the mountain and suddenly it's nighttime with a dark green overcast? Then, out of nowhere I'll get a huge patch of moonlight on the grass in front of me that is as bright as sunlight, look up in the sky and the moon is completely occluded behind the clouds. Travel for approximately one minute and it's daytime again. That makes zero sense.
When talking to NPCs in the night too, the NPC will look like they are in somewhat natural lighting, then when it switches to Aloy, the screen goes super dim and all lightning essentially vanishes.
1. Even when you bull's-eye something, often Aloy shoots an arrow that veers wildly off the mark.
2. Can you lock on in this game at all, or is it just a bunch of manual random camera corrections mid roll? You can lock on enemies in the grid view, but that seems to only be for tracking specific prey, not to keep the camera locked on during combat.

How do you fast travel? Pretty sure I have a bunch of the kits needed.
Oh my.
Holland is proud of GG, no doubt. Exceptional bunch, they have proved themselves to be.

Story up to meeting Varl
Very pleasantly surprised
Alloy origin looks great, so there are people living behind the door inside the mountain, and Aloy mother left her outsode for some reason. I wonder if she's still alive.
The npc are great, Rost, Teersa, Karst, the vanguard from Meridian and the sun priest are really interesting too.

Thinking about having a late lunch today just so I am not hungry when I get off work, so when I get home I can immediately start playing again.

Oh dang, I'll keep my eye out for that. I haven't done that one yet. It would be weird if there's really no way of getting out of there.

Just had the game spoiled for me in the YouTube comments of a video not even about Horizon.
It's like The Force Awakens all over again.
