I thought HZD was alright, not worth buying a ps4 just to play, but what I enjoyed the most about it was the backstory because you find out Musk/Bezos/tech giant billionaire hosed up and destroyed civilization

i found big fights in horizon zero dawn consistently annoying and unfun, but i've long since supposed i was uniquely bad at them for some reason.

i liked a lot about the combat but my favourite thing was turning robodino guns back on them and really feeling like "wow i've really just been using a bow and arrow the whole game huh" as the t-rex shatters to pieces also for some reason i really liked the arrow heads having different hardness values and stuff for different targets and switching between ap and broadheads after shredding some armour

Admiral Ray posted:hell yeah, that sounds great. about how many hours did it take to play pretty thoroughly? 40ish I think? I think I platted it around 60 or so It can feel like a collectathin with a few annoying things - you do primal style thing to upgrade your weapon pouches, but there's a hidden feature that tells you where to look for the animals you need that saves a ton of time. But another selling point is just the setting - your character is an outcast from what appears to be a native American style tribe and it makes sense you'd craft pouches from animals. It also has very few trap weapons/mods , which is nice. Of my complaints, the main one is tearblast mods dont work right on tearblast arrows, but also that the tearblaster is hidden behind a sidequest chain I didn't do until late and it's easily once of the best weapons in the game for how I liked to play The frozen wilds dlc is a bit overtuned but not too bad otherwise. mastershakeman has issued a correction as of 17:04 on Aug 6, 2020 |

HZD's combat is wild fun once you get the hang of using specific arrows and elements to blast bits off robot dinosaurs The thing to remember is that the gear system sucks and is a complete afterthought you should rush to the main city to buy the purps and never think about equipment again

I think having mouse control is going to make horizon a lot easier to play. i hate aiming at tiny spots on a moving target with a controller.

Ben Nerevarine posted:HZD's combat is wild fun once you get the hang of using specific arrows and elements to blast bits off robot dinosaurs An early demonstration of this everyone should do is go to Nora hunting grounds , find the deer robots, and shoot one of their canisters with a fire arrow. Watch what happens (Then shoot the canisters of the dead ones with harvest arrows instead of looting normally, you get tons of blaze this way and it's the only resource in the game you'll ever be short on)

yeah i cannot impart this enough: beeline the story , go to meridian, get purple weapons, the game completely changes and you can then enjoy fighting the robodinos and learning about the really good history of the world. this isn't a spoiler: you're on earth, there's no question about that. see if you can figure out what happened before its revealed

Ghost of Tsushima on easy difficulty is a nice chill out game that makes me feel powerful as gently caress and is probably my GOTY. I wish Dark Souls had something like that so I can experience that game too

Frog Act posted:anyone got any sushi ghost tips? i got wrecked repeatedly trying to do the bow story last night, the double sword and big hammer guys just come rushing out and own me every time, but my deaths don't feel fair like in dark souls. they're always because of bad camera angles or because a dude comes stepping out from beside a rock or does three undodgeable attacks in a row and dodging takes me back into another enemy. is there any way to actually lock on to enemies or am I just gonna have to try to make this melee combat work with these terrible camera angles and arbitrary movements? If you the tools use those kunais can trivialize most fights same with bombs. I had to start prioritizing enemies like spear dudes because you cant block them etc.

do all the enemy forts you can find in the opening of ghosts because the game kinda sucks until you get 3 of the 4 stances and can participate in the combat as the aggressor much more you get double stance unlock progress if you sneak in and observe the leader before you kill him. once he's dead you can peace out if you don't want to fight the regulars.

Xaris posted:I was mostly in the same boat. I spent the first several hours messing around with ~open world make ur own FUN~ and not really having much fun. however, I eventually made it to Meridian and got a purple bow and actually started enjoying it a lot because the combat actually opens up vastly and the dumb resource scarcity doesn't matter and it starts to get more focused and interesting. and don't spend too long dicking around the peripheral cosplaying an ubisoft open world icon slurry and mostly just focus on map quests + some adjacent sides and caves. yeah it's definitely something i'll come back to eventually given the praise it receives from thread regulars. curse of the long backlog Terminal autist posted:If you the tools use those kunais can trivialize most fights same with bombs.

There are some tales that have Mongol Leaders in them, so yes to the first question, but it's much faster just to wander and clear camps on your own.

I feel like Kiryu getting scammed for the millionth time, except I can't do sick finishing moves on anyone in this thread. Afaik the steam ports are selling well and we're getting 7 on Steam, so I don't doubt we'll eventually get the 3-5 collection and 6 too.
