Just finished the game. Everything is awesome and well done. Story is interesting, graphics are impressive (ps4 vanilla still), audio/music also great. Side quests are nice even though I did very few. I only completed one calderon and 0 of the challenges or whatever they are called. 2 tallnecks to go still.
But what was really great was the different weapons and how combat is at the same time simple but complex. You start firing at some chargers, then when you see some of snapmaw are coming to catch you and those birds as well. You need to run hide, use different weapons, think about a strategy to destroy them all.
Cant wait for Horizon 2 and a online coop arena with a horde-like mode. Combat is 10/10 in this game. Loved it.

Do not want. It's better to put all the resources into the main game.
Regarding Cauldrons, by skipping them you lost the ability to override machines to your side, which really adds variety to the battles. There's also variety in the Cauldrons themselves. One of the last ones was a sight to behold.
I know, I will probably play the rest of the game later, game is pure awesomeness. I didn't skip those things on purpose, I just didnt feel that I really needed them to progress in the story even though it would make it easier, so I didnt do them unless I was already passing in front of them. I didnt even use any of those proximity traps (singles ones that you put on the ground), I didnt use the potions (for fire, frozen etc protection)... And only used the extra health potion in the last hour of the game
I was too busy running and shooting and always forgot to use the items the game gave me. It was my first open world rpg so thats maybe the reason why I didnt use all the resources... I will now play some other game and in the future head back to complete the rest of Horizon.SunhiLegend

You can do better. I know it 👌🏻
After having played about 10 hours of ME:A, it's amazing going back to Horizon. Such a polished game in comparison. I don't think I will ever go back to ME.
I just beat my second Cauldron, and it was amazing. The graphics on the Pro are absoulely jaw dropping. Still my favorite game of the year so far.

Incredible! One of my favorites yet.
that area is where a late main quest takes place

I got stuck there too. I'm pretty sure that's a place you'll visit near or at the end of the main storyline.

I recommend doing at least Cauldron XI. It's a bit different, thus more intriguing, and offers great visuals. Cauldron Zeta is pretty short, and it's easy to do after playing the story through.
I didn't use the resistance potions either, and switched from proximity traps to Tripcaster, since the enemy fire could detonate the former.

After initially uploading it - took down the epic time-lapse video I had been working on since the game launched (recording 1-2 hrs each night) due to an RGB full / limited mismatch. Luckily the video itself was full, whereas the PS4 was set to limited. I've since corrected the issue and took the opportunity to tweak some shots.
So now I share with all of you:

I just finished it on very hard and really loved playing the game. I also just figured out I missed a small settlement in the beginning area. I thought I had explored almost everything and done most, if not all, of the side quests but there were 2 more.
Now to finish up the collectibles and get that plat. Completed the story in 48 hours.

Yeah that's a good way to do it. I just always had 100/100 in my resources. So I'd buy 50 and use it all in one fight. Lol.

Get all your capacity upgrades out of the way early.
Absolutely love this one. Ice looks so good in Horizon.
Already said it once, but again, Terrific work! I especially love the Banuk Village around 0:55.

Is this CG?

Thank you! I took down the original edit because I realized after uploading that somehow I had left my PS4 in "Limited RGB" mode. Probably when the game first unlocked and I played the beginning over at a friends' pad.

Think my entire game is bugged..
I just started playing recently and was finishing the main quest the point of the spear and killed the sawtooth. The next part is supposed to be Mother's Heart but I can' seem to get that quest no matter what.
My main quest still shows point of the spear and it's telling me to "follow the path of destruction" which is what I already did. I'd repeat it but I can't even go back that way because the North and Main embrace gates are closed.. I have no idea what to do here.

Yep looks like I'm completely stuck. I've just about fucking had it with these shitty ass open world games.. sigh.
Played 105 hours of BotW with not a bug in sight meanwhile I played a few hours of this game and just broke the entire game. I just love it!

In the 67 hours I played the only bug I saw was a floating corpse at one point.

Well at least you're getting your money's worth with it. Might just have to suck it up and restart the game... or play something else :\
Yep sounds like it's bugged unfortunately. You should a quick save at the campfire right before you leave through the gate. Probably have to reload and do it again.

The game usually has a buttload of autosaves so why not try loading one of those?

Finished the game and got my Platinum after around fifty or so hours. I ended up enjoying it a lot more than expected. The combat was great and I was always hungry to learn more about the world. Guerrilla did an excellent job.

Nope.
Edit - sorry, there are if you die but if you quit your game then you start over.

I think I am almost done with the game. I lent out my PS4 to a friend so she can play Until Dawn but I am finishing the game when I get it back

I tried all of em to no luck
I just sucked it up and restarted. I've been rushing and skipping all cut scenes and am not all that far out so it's not too bad. I guess it just scared me more than anything, but it sounds like one of those extremely rare situations so hopefully it won't happen again.
Lol, that might be your demise. If you started with Horizon Zero Dawn, there's only one day after you finish it. Down. Maybe The Last of Us Remastered might give you the same quality of content and a few, very few, others. But really, you started with the best game there is on PS4.

What was the bug, if you dont mind me asking?
Had a couple of bugs happening with me, but none game breaking. Heck one of them had me laughing out loud.
edit: I should be more clear, the bug is obviously you got stuck in a quest, but did you walk away somewhere when you shouldn't have? Or something like that?
the graphics are amazinggg.

I'm not honestly sure how it happened. I finished the sawtooth quest and Rost was telling me how I have to meet him somewhere, and then I started doing a couple of the side quests.
After I finished all of the side quests I went to the main quest marker and noticed that the gates I needed to pass through were locked (north, main, and south). I thought i was doing something wrong so I googled around and that's when I noticed that something was wrong because according to the progression I should be on the mothers heart quest, but it was still telling me to "follow the path of destruction" which is the sawtooth quest. That's when I realized that the game bugged out and thought I was still on that quest but there was no longer any way for me to open the north gate with Rost since he was nowhere to be found - and neither was he anywhere else for that matter.
edit: just killed the sawtooth again. this time I got a trophy for it and the point of the spear quest immediately finished and it put me on mother's heart
