Gaming Horizon: Zero Dawn (PS4)

You will take em on, just to do it. :cool:
There'll be a point (once you are geared up) when you won't fear anything....

Nothing beats wrecking those big beasts (rockbreakers, behemoths, stormbirds, and the t-rex ones can't remember their names) in style.

Think I'm going to load this up and just go rampaging tonight.
Thunderjaws, great fun. They look the most intimidating but since you always have the option of using their own disk blasters against them, they're probably the easiest. Still, their encounters always feel epic due to the sheer size of then. I never really found a good way to take down Stormbirds, just spamming tearblast arrows and hoping to knock off most of those components on their wings.
 
fecking rockbreakers are annoying as feck!

Jesus have you put it down since you started??? :eek::eek::eek:

I think I was around 60-70 hours in before I had the shit scared out of me by a rockbreaker!

I have been hammering it to be fair. Thunderjaws are great fun but I fecking hate Glinthawks and as a result I'm yet to take on a stormbird. Can't bring myself to do it.....
 
Platinum'd :)

Just a great feckin' game. Whilst it isn't perfect, the story is great and gameplay is immensely fun. I love how the variety in which you can approach each enemy.

Going to have a run through the main campaign on NG+ on Ultra hard and then sink into the expansion.

There's almost a sense of disappointment as you finish isn't there! At least you have the Frozen Wilds to get straight into!
 
I think I've finished this game now.

Thought the DLC was great fun. Scorchers, frostclaws and fireclaws were great battles.

Looking forward to Horizon 2 already.

Pity. Because when you see it on a PS4 Pro and a 4K HDR TV it will blow your wig off.

My TV is going up on my wall tomorrow so I'm holding off starting God of War til then. I'll revisit Horizon at some point. I basically did a speed run on ultra hard, want to revisit it and do it properly as it will be a good challenge.

Fantastic game. Sidequests were a little 'meh', bar the odd few. But it was such a fun game to play.
 
Not sure if you're aware or not but on the Pro you will be presented with the option of prioritising visuals vs performance. Choose wisely.

Both those games look tremendous in HDR, you’re in for a treat :)
 
Just got this. My word - the graphics are stunning.
 
Been playing this the past couple weeks, I've just "met" Hades for the first time. This is probably the best story I've seen in a game this generation. It's got me absolutely hooked, and the gameplay, while its a bit boring until you acquire all the weapons, really shines with the Behemoth/Thunderjaw/HugeBirdThing fights. Graphics are ridiculous as well, and Aloy is likeable af. Even better than God of War for me.

Yep, it’s a fantastic game with a great story. I can’t wait for the sequel.
 
Still my favourite ever one player game. I've tried loads of games recommended by people on here and elsewhere but nothing has come close to how immersed and engaged i was by HZD.
 
Been playing this for the past month and absolutely loving it. Though I must admit I am a bit shite at killing things and use super stealth tactic. Really like how the story unveils itself.

Had to quit one mission as the crocobot was killing me in 10 seconds :lol:

Seeing as it's still pretty early in the game wonder what kind of other machines are still to come
 
Bought it recently along with super Mario maker 2 and spider man. Wonder when I'll get started. :lol:

Oh boy are you in for some shocks. That crocodile yoke is a FisherPrice villain of that game!
 
if you've mastered the crocobot then you should be able to walk straight up to a thunderjaw and basically laugh in its face. it's piss in comparison.
 
Love this game. Great story as well. I've owned the DLC (described as more of the same) for a couple of years now, I just haven't gotten around to playing it yet.

Can't wait for the sequel, which surely is happening.
 
No don't listen to him, croc is one of the hardest challenges you have nothing to worry about after.
Mwahahaha!

Wolf!

I don’t think I trust you on this :lol:
 
The Thunderjaw is the biggest but it's pretty slow and there is loads of it to hit so it goes down easy enough. I think the Rockbreaker, Stalker and Stormbird are more difficult to kill.

The DLC introduces some bastard hard enemies. Scorchers and Frostclaws/Fireclaws.

Glinthawks are still the most annoying.

I still get cold sweats thinking about Rockbreakers
 
Such a brilliant game. That and God of War have been my two favourite games this gen.

You sir are a wise man. for me easily 2 of the top games of the current gen, possibly top 5 all time for me.
