Its a really interesting concept, and it makes me connect with Aloy right from the start. I'm really impressed with the story so far.

Have those games been resolved with patches? Skyrim was one of the games I remember, and I still play that.

Dammit, y'all's effusive praise has infected me. Taking the plunge, time to fire up the old OG ps4 that can't even take disks anymore cause it just random starts going on an ejecting frenzy for 5 minutes at a time... thus digital for me

You pick up herbs that fill up a bar that can be used to fill your health, you can also craft potions to give you health. Doesn't feel like Bloodborne, but you do need to make sure you have herbs.

I can't stop taking pictures...help...
Unlocks in an hour. Now the question is, do I stay up and play for an hour or two before going to bed and continue in the morning, or just go to sleep soon and start in the morning?
No obligations tomorrow, but I gotta be up at 6am on Thursday, and if I stay up all night now, I don't know if I'm ever gonna fall asleep the next night...
Damn midnight releases lol

Nice! Will definitely have to get the artbook soon, but what I'd really love is a piece of art from the game I could frame & hang on my wall.

Any way to changes the button layouts? Trying to play via remote play and shooting with the rear touchpad is impossible.

Unfortunately not
This was a bummer for me. Usually first-party is all about having a good Remote Play experience; hopefully it's easily patched.

Same situation here. I'll play one hour to start the story and enjoy the beauty of the game than go to sleep. After waking up and having a breakfast I'll start playing again

This initial Olara cutscene has really damn good facial animation. Like, holy shit.

Loved this part, pretty early on:
Village Elder: "The Goddess has spoken!"
Aloy: "Uh, that's a door..."

"Delivered by 4 hours from now" and USPS still doesn't even have the package. Thanks, Amazon Prime.

If only my penis was as big as my GamerScore!
Amazing game, was up way too late playing last night. Only complaint so far is the FOV. Pushing the edge of acceptably for comfort.

Damn those gifs look stunning, really sad that my copy arrives tomorrow
Thinking of going the same route. I'll be staying up till midnight anyway, working on my thesis so whatever.
I'll just play tired tomorrow and work tired on Thursday if it comes to that lol.

I don't think I've seen weather this good in a game before. When it's night and it's raining heavily with a lot of wind it looks crazy.

Having a lot of fun with this game.
Beat my first Cauldron. Pretty hard (awesome!) given I was twice the recommended level. Not sure how I would have managed any lower.
Really like the variety in enemies so far and I've only seen 9 I think. Know of 2 or 3 more from some of the trailers. Remember reading something like 26. Pretty damn cool. Excited to see what else is out there.
Anyone else not liking the camera? I don't know if I've been spoiled with lock-on in games or its just not done well in this. Really noticed it when fighting the boss at the end of the Cauldron. Can deal with it but its a pain at times. Think thats my only gripe so far.
Been playing all morning and I'm hooked. Pretty rare for games to do that to me these days.

Woof, thems some good gifs and screenshots. I love how completely consistent and beautiful the lighting model is specifically.

Tracking probably isn't working because AWS is down so a bunch of their services and other websites are down.
I stopped to take a photo in the exact same momentHoooooly fuck, this game looks amazing on base PS4. Fuck UC4's graphics, THIS is the real deal. Amazing job, Guerilla!

You can do this. Off the top of my head, I think press Square on the recipe from the crafting menu?

world map excludes
tunnels and cauldrons and ruins
so it's actually even bigger
if you're not careful, even at level 50 - shellwalkers nearly did me in the other night
I have one question that I hope a kind soul can answer without too many spoilers:
Does the game contain mission maps outside of the regular world map boundaries? I'm thinking more like certain Far Cry/GTA/InFamous/etc. main missions where you travel to one-off locations for story/quest purposes.
Thanks in advance.

God's had his chance.
I'm so proud of GG for coming in swinging so hard...
It's like people forget they have been the graphical playmakers - unmatched in wow factor - for YEARS now.
And finally they have a chance to model something other than space nazis, skyscrapers and assault rifles. fuckin SQUEEEEEEE
Why oh god why does work have to drag ... on ... foooorrreeeeeevvvver....

No truly one-off locations. You can go back anywhere the main story takes you.
Leave the physical world behind. I'm all digital all the time.
