Structure mostly. The focus being their version of witcher tracking too, which I didn't even like having to do in Witcher.
I'm also having a really hard job not hating every single character in this game. I rarely skip dialogue, but this game is testing my patience. All the characters seem very fake, not authentic to the setting and just feel like actors placed in the setting.
There's supposedly a reason that's explained for why everyone speaks like current day people.

yeah it's pretty disappointing. but if they went the Tomb Raider route and left collectibles everywhere that would be annoying too.
Guys, anyone found a girl named Talanah that gives you a quest line?
There is a bug and when I talk to her after I completed the Quest, she tells me I did it but then strolls around and the notification and rewards won't show up.
There is also another quest (Death from Above) that seems to have a bug and won't leto you finish it.
I can't get the trophy related to Talanah because of this.

Yea The Witcher 3 at a point felt like a chore at a certain point. So many side quests with clunky controls. This is just so buttery.

I thought they might pull something to explain it, it's why I'm trying to reserve my judgement. I'll keep dialogue trees to a minimal in the meantime.

Level 15.
Kind of wish there was an online mode where you could roll with a online tribe.
Just a few more than I'm going back for the bubble-butt robot.
Are there anymore caves so I can override more powerful enemies? Aloy keeps talking about it but I havent seen any other caves other than that SIGMA one.

Yeah, look at the bottom of the info page to see the different arrow icons.
Each one has a different purpose, except for the Precision arrow, which is basically just a stronger basic arrow.

Been playing for roughly 5 jours and this game is amazing!!! Just got to the "proving" as i been wondering around doing side quests and killing stuff to upgrade my inventory pouches.
But when are you able to access all the pre-order/ collector's edition DLC?
Edit: Just found out

Aim assist on or off? Played the opening with it off and found it surprisingly difficult. I don't want easy auto-aim so please tell me that with it on, it isn't too easy.
It isn't too easy.
It helps a lot without being an autowin button. Just try it out.
Check the "Special Items" tab when you find your first Merchant. He has a bunch of treasure boxes that contain the pre-order items.

This game might have the most intrusive UI of any I've ever played. Just awful. Think I'm just going to turn it all off.

And why would I want them?
I can't stop thinking about this game guys!
I feel like this might end up being one of my favorite games of all time. About 8-9 hours in. I am a self proclaimed graphics whore. No shame, I admit it, and this game does things to me man. Just walking around, looking around the environment brings me so much joy. It is an absolute wonder to look at. The fact that the combat, gameplay and even the story is soooo good so far too is blowing my mind.
I sincerely believe this is the best looking game of all time. I want to shake the hand of each artist at GG and thank them and ask them how the fuck they did this and pretend I understand their answer lol. I am just so beyond impressed.
Was up until 3:00am playing it last night. So tired right now, but it was so worth it.

How far are you? As soon as you unlock your abilities, there's one that gives you effectively "bullet time" when aiming for a short time that might help to line up trickier shots.
I'm playing with it off and haven't run into too many issues yet...
I like Dynamic HUD. Pretty much everything disappears, except the compass at the top, and you can just put your finger on the touchpad to bring the full HUD back up for a second.

The fucking Fire Bellowback in the first Cualdron is kicking my ass !

Just put it on Custom and tweak the shit out of it. It is there for a reason. Guerilla knows that players want to tweak their screen.

Eh, many of us knew better anyway, especially after Killzone 2.

It's almost like bullet magnetism in a game like Halo. Get close enough, and the arrow will sort of "find" it's target. It's pretty unnoticeable most of the time, but after a while I turned it off because I like the challenge (and there are plenty of bullet time options).
I don't think you can, which is an annoyance of mine with this game.
I've had to switch back and forth to the Sell screen to look at my equipment to compare.
So that curving arrow I saw wasn't a bug.

Making the HUD dynamic should be in the OP.

I'm not sure if this is major or not but this seems like something I would consider spoiler tag territory. Even if it doesn't give anything explicitly away, knowing something like this kind of bugs me now.

Dynamic HUD with most stuff off highlights a strength of the game that I haven't seen mentioned much. The world is so unique and really well designed so far in terms of its landmass design and the space you occupy. I pretty much had the layout down pat in the beginning area real quick and really haven't had much trouble navigating the world around me.
Even small things like elevation changes help accentuate the difference between where you have been and where you haven't.

Usually the trials have a fire right next to them. I quick save at the fire and if I fail... restart from save will take me back up.
I like Aloy but I'd be lying if I said I haven't been making fun of the dumb story through most of it so far.
I think the early game was compelling and her desire to belong was relatable.. but the story is just packed with cliche after cliche to the point of being comical
So outfits to me seem pretty much just cosmetic.
The stats aren't all that, except for like the Stealth/Resistance to Melee one, and the only difference is the amount of mod slots they offer.
Think I'll just pick whichever one I think looks best and go with that.

Sigh, not a big deal to just throw a spoiler tag on this please
It's like, I'm saved right outside the cauldron - and now I know there's fire bellowbacks in that bitch
And it's not a big deal, but at the same time cmon

The biggest thing they haven't been able to do was craft a story, which thankfully they found outside help for this one. Picking the lead creative director on Fallout: NV was an inspired choice, and it sounds like it paid off.

Hey guys... I started playing last night. I'm maybe an hour or so in and I'm playing on normal. I think I've done 2 quests. It seems a little easy so far. Does it get more challenging the further I get into the game or do I need to change to hard?

But it's still just really annoying to do and has literally no purpose. It's not like looting is such a committed, unusual act that it would be bad if I accidentally did it.... it just achieves nothing other than making the controls feel so much less immediate and responsive.

The voice acting for Brom was still bad. Felt like I was playing a Bioware game for a moment.
I also like that if you're sprinting when you stop to pick something up, you will automatically resume the sprint as soon as the animation finishes. You don't have to click L3 again.

Yea, the game is a technical marvel but what impresses me the most is just how well written it is. Of course I'm not very far into it so there's still a chance the plot will careen off a cliff but so far I'm hooked. I want and NEED to know where this is all going. One of my biggest issues with the Killzone series was just how little I cared for the story (even though it had tons of potential). Props to GG for stepping up in this respect.
