I'm not a fan of potions since I end up having to click so much to the left or right to find them. I would rather just have lure, health potion, and bombs.

Yeah that is a pain. It was because I was only shooting them once, shoot them twice and they fall to the ground. Thanks though man
My jaw is literally on the floor throughout every single frame in this game. It's simply unbelievable visuals, both technically and artistically.
And the fact that this is paired with a quality narrative with good characters and writing just makes my heart ache of happiness.
This game is simply one of those special moments that surprises me in what developers are able to do and that reminds me of the artistry and hearnestness in video games. And I'm still in the beginning of the game.

The real hard part is doing all of that while also dodging a half dozen Watchers and getting blinded by them.
One thing that I really like about this game is that meeting new machines is an exercise in frantically backpedaling and rolling to avoid being killed and break contact. I pulled the Shellwalker pack by Cauldron Sigma and almost died as I spent 15 minutes running around trying to evade them and accidentally pulled some RedEye Watchers into the fight. (For Shellwalkers: Sonic/Terrorblast Arrow to knock off the claws and then hammer it with fire arrows from range).

Oh, goodness. I didn't know this. For some reason, I thought it only played occasionally and was mostly quiet.
So you manage to take control of a machine, make it a mount and it's this really cool moment where all of a sudden the world opens up. Then you ride past fellow braves on it and no one gives a fuck.
They couldn't record a handful of voice lines for that first sighting from the NPCs? The disconnect there felt really weird. Considering how polished the game is in most areas it makes stuff like that all the more bizarre.

Okay.
Aloy talking to herself is AMAZING.
Playing hudless without any quest notifications, I can just traverse the world, have her comment on locations and quest objectives in a fairly natural way, complete my tasks and be on my way. All without looking at the quest and the actual objectives.
I love this so much.

Well and its amazing because throughout that entire scene, or scenario or whatever, I was actually kinda taken out of the experience as she looked like the fucking GRINCH with each passing frame.
Then that moment, and also when
she puts the focus to her ear for the first time and immediately tosses it back off, terrified,
The Witcher 3, to an extent. FFXV at least conveys the emotion of the voice acting. Horizon never hits much, if any, emotional beats with the faces. Aloy is definitely where they spent time, but even she feels flat. In the grand scheme, its not a big deal, but one of the things I really hope GG works on in the future. Things are only going to get more photoreal, the animation needs to follow suit the same.

Yes, this was me. Also, the cinematic not to far after that part where it transitions from
young Aloy to current age Aloy
You can go back to the ruins Aloy fell into as a child and access areas she wasn't able to back then. In doing that, you can also trigger a new sidequest that extends out beyond the starting area. Hopefully that's not too spoilery.
Posted my review. Game is so good. https://youtu.be/ZlDuVBZX3Jo Really think it's great to be spoiled by all the good titles that have hit in 2017. I risk sounding like some peace to all hippie but I'm happy that Zelda and this can both be coming out so close and be so good. It's good for all gamers to be getting to play all these quality experiences regardless of platform. Get tired of people on the internet bashing one or the other due to fanboy console wars.
Good stuff to GG though, great great game.

Witcher 3's facial animation was awful and felt very Biowareish (in contrast with character animations outside of cutscenes). There certainly wasn't the level of emotion beintg conveyed compared to Horizon.
This part is very well done. She naturally asks the questions we're all thinking, which closely engages the player in the objectives and narrative. She's not a passive character. She feels just as interested in resolving this plot as we are.
FYI if you have a game suspended, it sometimes takes forever to download anything. I had Fallout 4 suspended while I DL'd a bunch of shit and as soon as I closed the application, my speeds were much better.

The lip animations are probably my biggest problem I have with the game. At times, they're nearly flawless and incredibly well done. Then seemingly the very next second, everything goes to shit and nothing looks right. Doesn't seem to be consistent.
Your HDR is probably not working correctly. I was shocked at the difference between HDR and non-HDR on my Sony 43" X800D. It does take a bit of tweaking to make sure it's working as intended though.

Very cool how you can go so high where you're either above the clouds lookind down or literally inside of a cloud.
I have 2 story missions left, just trying to wrap up all the sidequests before I finish as i think there's a trophy associated with that. The

Had a moment where I'm hiding in the grass from a Thunderjaw and a Watcher. The Watcher is closest to me, so I whistle to draw it near for a silent kill. Of course, the Thunderjaw comes over instead; instead of running I sit there while this huge beast walks over and stands right over me. I'm literally looking up at it's underside, and when I tell you that visually it was the most impressive moment that I've seen in a game yet; just so seamless, with no clipping or anything. It was like seeing Jurassic Park for the first time all over again. I'm astounded at what GG has acheived here.

Is there any way to heal your mount? I'm a sucker and got attached to the first Strider I overrode. But I don't think he's meant for this world.
It's a machine my man. Go override a new strider and call it a day.
Yeah I definitely noticed the lack of any response to that.

Where can I find some sawtooths. Now that I want to find them I can't.
Oh, the DLC armor is strong? I completely forgot to download it.
Damm, I'm scared to play now.
In all seriousness, I can't wait for my copy to arrive. I was expecting to have it by now buy Amazon still hasn't shipped it. Anyone else experiencing this? A rep told me that they were waiting for the manufacturer to provide them with copies hence the delay.. If I didn't use Amazon credit to purchase the game, I probably would have picked it up elsewhere.

I really like that. I like that I can be exploring the world, she'll comment as to "isn't that that area where so and so happened" and so, without engaging with the map or the quest menu, I'll wonder over, do this entire quest line, find out what to do next and move on.
It makes my hudless experience oh so wonderful.

But it does.
It really isn't but the looks and the mod slots give you an edge early on
The pre-order one? Doesn't really break anything. It's just a free
stealth outfit
I felt he was pretty well known in the gaming sphere for having worked at Obsidian.
I upgraded the skills that make Overrides last forever and feel kind of bad now after a battle when the Watcher I hacked is falling apart but still walking, the last survivor of it's group now that it's helped me to wipe out all its buddies, and I gotta put it out of its misery.

Almost 20 hours played, progress is 15%
I was banned for a flippant comment about Guerilla when I first heard the concept of this game and how much Sony was going to pour into it.
Well deserved banning. I was so wrong. Guerilla have more than delivered, this game is simply fucking outstanding. I have never enjoyed a videogame story as much as this. Everything about this game is fucking insane.
You glorious Dutch bastards.

Man, the melee combat in this game is rough. Didn't notice how bad it was at first against the robots, but once you fight humans...
There was also some sound issues in the city area with most of the NPCs.(many were barely audible)
On the other hand, I'm really liking Aloy as a character so far. I'm interested in where this story goes.

It's kind of automatic. I find if you move the camera whilst running seems to push you one side or the other
