Anyone playing this?
It's brilliant, The story and characters are great. Normally with RPGs you have such a binary choice You become either unrealistically good or ridiculously evil. In this there is less drastic choice but the character seems more balanced, more realistic.
The quests seem better than most RPGs too, there is none of the go here and kill 10 of that. The side quests you get seem to have an actual meaning, like they are actual 'quests' rather than fetching and carrying or exterminating wildlife.
The world is interesting and the graphics stunning.
The action is cool too, you can really bumble through this. It can get really difficult really quick if you bite off more than you can chew. It's fairly easy to stumble on a group of enemies and get fucked up in short measure.
Most fights have to be considered, you have to work out if you really should and the best way to take down different enemies. You can't just blast through. It really punishes you if you are crap too Most enemies have a week spot, i.e. a Headshot might be a 1 hit kill, this isn't too hard if they haven't seen you and are unaware but if they are barrelling towards you it gets alot harder. It might take ~6 'body' shots to do what one headshot can.
Another good thing, that I haven't seen before in a game. If you are hiding and snipe someone, everyone else doesn't instantly know where you are.
TL:DR, It's great, feels similar to when I played the Last of Us for the First time. Lots of things I wasn't used to in games and it general it felt more real and a decent step from most things before it. ____________________ Well, you know what they say.

I'v finished it twice which iv never done with an rpg, thoroughly enjoyed it
Engaging characters, well written and an genuinely likeable main character.
Its a bit like uncharted had a baby with the witcher 3, really comes into its own when your exploring ruins and taking on the cauldrons.
It does have a bit of femenist overtones if you look hard enough though.
Still the best game iv played in a long time, i was hooked, up til 4 in the morning type stuff. ____________________ aprilia 125 Af1 Futura >> Suzuki gsxr 600 srad >> J1 zx6r >> cbr 600rr >> Speed Triple |

Games like this & Uncharted make me miss not having a PS4.
I'll just have to wait for Mass Effect Andromeda to get a price cull after the latest reviews |

Was surprised with this as a gifty on Saturday. Super excited. Started playing straight away but the rest of life has gotten in the way so not very far in.
So far very impressed with the environment. It's gorgeous
Seriously not getting the hang of the camera but reckon that's down to the head-cold. I could hardly even form a sentence, let alone try to use a camera that's flipped to the style I usually use - debating changing the settings. |

Anyone playing this go into settings and change HUD to Dynamic, it's MUCH better. I'm annoyed I had put ~30 hours into it before figuring it out.
I've just been exploring rather than playing the main story. I have all the collectables now and have uncovered the whole map. I'm level 38 and the main story is level 18 ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.

Enjoying it at the moment, just climbed the first talk neck I've found, im 4 or so hours in,
I've been doing side quests and trying to upgrade pouches and stuff mainly,
Going to google around and find out what the best thing to sell to merchants is, something I don't need to keep |
On the sell page everything says what you can do it it. If all it says is 'Sell for metal shards' then you can get rid of it.
PSA - Kill every fox and raccoon you see. You need the skins for high end stuff and are difficult to find. ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.

Cheers,
I am somehow 11 or so hours into my game save now, been ages since I've played a game that long,
Being 30 and doing pretty much 60 hours a week work wise, I usually can't be arsed,
Really enjoying the game, did those 11 hours in just over a week,
My character can handle a fight abit better now, graphics look good on my 55 inch ks8000 with hdr, after leaving the pesky psvr out of the equation obviously
Gotta give a thumbs up for the sound design also,
Machines sound good,
Am I right in thinking you can only buy weapons and not find them? Same for outfits? I paid out for the best bow when I last played,
Which weapon should I go for next? I have the standard bow I'll no longer use, the best bow and the trip caster ____________________ Cbt Done, Currently wobbling around on a Cbf125 and love it
DAS some time soon |

Loving the game, currently level 19, been doing loads of side missions, not even made it to Meridian yet.
Only thing that I find funny, is that your battling highly sophisticated machines, yet if you duck in some long grass, you can sit 2ft away from them and they cant even notice you, .
Must say though, the graphics are unreal, it's the only game I've bothered to screenshot and have as a background. When the sun is coming through the trees, with all the corona effects and what not it's just staggeringly beautiful. ____________________ '16 GSX-S1000F |

I use 2 types of bow, the Hunter bow* and the Sharpshot bow*
*I think they are called that.
The Hunter Bow fires fast and uses Fire Arrows which are essential for killing certain enemies. The sharpshot bow is slower firing but has a longer range, it also does more damage and using the Tearblast arrows which are very good against armoured enemies.
Other than That I use the blast sling, great for groups and big enemies and the trip caster, which is great for big enemies and bosses. ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.

You haven't met Longlegs yet, they have a sensor that can see you in the grass, you can shoot it off too so they can't which I think is pretty cool. ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.

First game that I've got all the trophies for on PS4.
98ish hours, (or was it 95?). So not bad money wise, about 25p an hour
I didn't get all the datapoints, glyph things etc, life was getting too short for that!
I've only played about 6 games so far on the PS. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 6 years, 303 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
