The effect is the same though, slowly trundling along and facetanking poo poo, he's just being a less effective version of that.

IIRC, Havel's also has a slightly smaller stamina regen penalty than Black Iron set, which is the main disadvantage of heavy armor and is giving Woolie huge problems since he is somehow still not an expert on shield dropping after all this time.

Woolie has had an almost ideological commitment to a sub-optimal playstyle, but like I said, as long as he keeps making progress, it doesn't really matter.

They're kinda making GBS threads all over Horizon Zero Dawn in that Machinima video. Are they just being hyperbolic, or has public opinion on that game gone down the tubes?

I don't see why he shouldn't be: HZD and Fallout New Vegas share the same lead writers.

Especially in their Machinma videos. They play up certain things WAY more for those videos than they do for actual LPs where they just act normal.

Zelda is polish from what I have seen. It's also just more fun in my opinion.

It honestly is kind of unfair to Horizon. It's a brand new IP and really cool and unique and fun


But then Zelda comes in, smashes the doors down, and whisks you away on a magical journey filled with everything you loved about it and everything you didn't know you wanted from it. Like if your on again off again fling that you really really liked but had a hard time recently came back and just said all the right things and was also in super good shape.

Funny, because story wise, I would compare it to HZD to Nier Automata, both features an post-post apocalyptic earth that has various kinds robots running around in the ruins of modern civilizations and female characters that are not regular humans, 2b is an android and Aloy is (spoilers/speculation, because I haven't complete the game yet) may be a clone of some kind ;

HZD kinda blind-sided me. I've seen it for ages in the PS4 shop but haven't really bothered to find out what it's about (the splash image on the store reminding me of garbage Destiny didn't help). It looks pretty interesting so I'll probably grab it on a sale someday.

For what it's worth, I didn't have any issue like that, so it could've been a fluke. Either way, the dev has started on the post-release patching so it should hopefully be a matter of time until that and the frame skipping are dealt with.

The game is absolutely fantastic, by the way. It's some of the best combat I've seen in a 2D platformer, for one thing. I hope one of the friends plays it enough to tell the others about the rad fight against bug Vergil. I'd recommend buying it if you think it's your thing and just refunding it if you get that same movement sticking issue.

Matt brought up Enslaved (that Ninja Theory game starring Andy Serkis) in relation to HZD. I have to say the platforming is similar, in that it's basically automatic. All you got to do in both of those games is to press a direction and Aloy will platformed for you, not very challenging in that regard.

About as weird as Pat saying "Bitch" at everything during his BotW stream.

*Kills a moblin*
"...bitch"
*Makes a jump*
"...bitch"
*successfully manages to use the hang glider and not instantly plummet to his death for like the sixth time on the same section of dungeon*
"...bitch"

heh oh yeah also
