From what I have heard, it only affects that moment. If for example you throw a stone at
that stupid kid's face
No butterfly effects or anything.

How do you slide in this game, is that an ability you can unlock or what? I press circle and I roll dodge.
And do it on "PS4 Pro that is on a Samsung 50'' 4K / HDR in the living room".

When sprinting (L3), press square. (I keep holding it till shes done sliding).

lol. I wanted to smack that bitch that shuns Aloy
when she brought the berries to her

Why does everyone keep saying that? I thought she looks really innocent and cute.

Her head is too big on her body.
She looks fine as a baby and an adult, but kid Aloy is weird (like kids in most games).
Something is off with the face and head proportions to me, I felt weird looking at her.

Finally got to play this after work.
So controversial opinion; Horizon is really good

She's got a weird uncanny valley thing going on.

Isnt that normal though?.. I have seen kids with slightly bigger heads. Also the internet says kids with big heads are likely to be clever.

Thank you!
Not as far as I could make out.
The missions themselves are pretty run of the mill, go here and kill people and robot until you get a cutscene that gives you location of the next area where you do the same. Or sometimes it's you going into an location where you basically have story scenes one after another broken up by small fights where you fight 4-5 enemies about 2-3 times. The side missions are all fetch quests basically. So yea not really that great.
The level design of missions themselves can range from very good to meh. But the combat is fun so even the average levels feel good to play and the story is engaging unlike Primal. It's interesting to note though that despite this being an open world game with a lot of player abilities, this game doesn't really have much in the way of emergent gameplay.

Such an amazing game, I am just 3 hours in and it has already hooked me.

It's not the head, it's just the hair. The hairstyle kid Aloy has is not a hairstyle you see on kids in reality. It's why her head looks weird.

They need to add camera sensitivity bar. This is the first game I have ever looked for one in a SP game and didnt even find it.
That's kinda annoying because sometimes I pass through quests that I could've finished. :/
Funny how they've nailed random QoL things and fucked up others. Like I can create a task/quest to get the materials for a piece of equipment I want to buy, which is really cool. But then, I don't REALLY know if the gear will be good cause the effects are listed with weird icons and numbers that don't really mean anything to me.
I would assume the small fire icon means fire resistance, but how much fire resistance is 15?
So when you're making Horizon 2, GG, just write "reduces damage taken from fire by 15%" or something under the effects.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Ahhh ...
someone please tell me you'll get enough experience points to get most of the skills ...
choosing which skill to spend points in has been the most stressing thing about the game so far. I'm trying to keep a balance between spear and bow upgrades. Also need to put points in the health pouch so I can increase it's capacity.

You can eventually have them all unlocked.
Im level 16 (max level is 50) and I have a lot of skills already. I think you cane asily get them all since some missions give you skill points as reward

you do unlock all the skills
there's actually more than enough points I had 1+ left over when I used it all up. lol
I didn't bother with the health pouch. til very late game
the useless ones in my mind was shooting on a string but the jumping attack one is useful.

Yea, I don't get it either. The performance mode looks better than the resolution mode a lot of the times.
Something seems messed up.
Played about three hours last night, I think. I did some side quests after the tutorial and got distracted quite a bit, so I've only just bought the Ropecaster.
I am absolutely in love with this game. I haven't had this much pure, unadulterated fun since The Phantom Pain. In fact, I think I'm having even more fun. It just plays so damn well! And the thrill of the hunt, man. What a rush! It was so exhilarating to fight my first pack of machines, and every fight after that too. It's so satisfying, especially when I'm taking on a lot of machines at the same time. Although, of course I do my best to separate them and pick them off one at a time.
God, I love Horizon so much already.

Thanks guys.
I wanted to get the pouch double thing early because Aloy takes a LOT of damage for every hit.
Are you on a 1080p TV ?
Because on my 4K display, Performance mode looks a lot softer and has some shimmering.
Prefer resolution is a *HUGE* improvement.

Woah, completely disagree. I think the eyes are fantastic. GG nailed them, they really help sell the various characters.
Its more of an Uncharted/NuRaider game x Assasins Creed 2. With hints of Borderlands. Its very much a linear story driven game and the open world is there to add atmosphere plus some fun mostly optional side content.
I don't see how a standard RPG mechanic is considered "fucking up". Damage and defense calculations aren't always that simple and I don't think you'd want to whip out a calculator if they gave you functions.
You need a fast travel pack, https://www.primagames.com/games/horizon-zero-dawn/tips/horizon-zero-dawn-how-fast-travel

Man,
Anyway, just a few hours in so far. Really enjoying the story and the characters. Completely blown away by the IQ in this game. Especially during night time. I don't think I'm going to be able to finish this by the time Zelda comes out though.
young Aloy was so adorable!
