PieFacE Posted April 13, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'm still yet to complete this game. Granted I'm not playing it much either. I've put about 20 hours into it so far and I think i'm about half way through. Kinda just want to get it done now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 is it just me that finds some of it pretty hard? went to meridian last night, the quest was level 12, im level 20, went off piste a fair few times, got killed...the only bigger robot i can kill quite easily are the crocodiles, other than them it seems to be a bit of a grind, 5 minutes and 40+ arrows to kill one of those fire spitting yellow bellied things, last about 30 seconds with the t-rex and that was with me joining in with a hunting party, tried a hunting mission where you had 90 seconds to knock the belly off one of the stompy ones (can you also see that im not very good with the names...) but he was one of three and i couldnt do it i rely on stealth and corrupting one of the robots so he can fight the others more than id like to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I like this game so much is the fact that you have to approach each machine differently, and the fact a gang of walker's can be just as dangerous as a t-rex(thunderjaw). I don't want to spoil the fun of finding your own way to beat them but better weapons and the status effects are your friend. PS this game is brilliant, didnt want to to finish and when I did finish the story Spoiler It got me excited all over again for dlc/horizon 2 Edited April 19, 2017 by jjaacckk91 Missed info 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) finished it last night, reckon ive put about 40 hours in, was seriously thinking of going for platinum did all the vantage points, did most of the metal flowers, a few of the banuk statues and all of the old cups or whatever they were, went to cash the cups in and the reward was shit and i dont think i'll be able to do all of the hunting golds absolutely loved it, best game this gen for me edit: on the status effects and the approach on various dinos, the tear arrows made a massive difference, hit their best weapon with one of them and disable it and then its pretty much done Edited May 5, 2017 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the maps early so I've done all of the collections. I can't be bothered with the hunting grounds at all. I got the fifth power cell last time I played, so I'll have fancy armour for the rest of the game 24 minutes ago, villa4europe said: edit: on the status effects and the approach on various dinos, the tear arrows made a massive difference, hit their best weapon with one of them and disable it and then its pretty much done Especially if you tear off a weapon you can pick up and use 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted July 16, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 16, 2017 So, this is a bit good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I really need to find a few hours to sit down and play this. I have only played the opening bit when she is a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Sunk a few hours into this last night. Wow it's a bit good and looks bloody lovely. I didn't think anything would surpass BOTW for me this year, but so far this feels like it could be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) Despite having started this thread, and having a lot of interest in it at the time, I didn't buy it then. I had a PSN store card to use last week, and it was either this or Witcher 3 GOTY. This was on sale, so I picked it up for £10 after the discount. What a fantastic piece of work. I'm finding it difficult to find any criticism. It looks and sounds great, without doubt. The narrative is pretty original, and I've found myself invested in the various mysteries and characters/factions in very little time. The combat system is superb, the upgrades and crafting work great in conjunction with that, and I love the threat from the bigger mobs. Even taking down a group of smaller ones using stealth, or trying to go in all 'spears' blazing, great fun. I suppose the open world could be a little more diverse - but then, I haven't seen all of it yet. Plus, the juxtaposition when you decend in to a ruin or a cauldron and that environment compared to the one you're used to creates a terrific atmosphere. So saying that would be harsh. So glad I finally got round to it. If you haven't yet, you should. Edited August 12, 2017 by hogso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I've finally got this and have been really looking forward to it as everybody I know that has played it has absolutely loved it. I'm 14 hours in and level 17...and I think it's just okay. I'm enjoying it, don't get me wrong, but I'm a bit disappointed that I'm not totally blown away by it as others appear to have been. 7/10, will carry on banging.
