Wait when did they change the notifications on PS4?

Ugh I liked it so much better before :negative:

They changed it in the big update last week. It's annoying that they combined everything but on the other hand, you still can look at downloads separately (hit options, it's there) and you no longer have to mark them as read for the badge number to go away. It just automatically detects them as read when you back out.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

Question about Horizon; Am I going to get a map leading me to the location of Ruins at some point, or are they all story things?

The main story missions all take you through ruins of some sort but a couple are side areas, mostly in the first half of the game.

Like, the actor does a voice for the game? Or the police officer character inexplicably exists in the world of HZD?

Lance Reddick plays a major supporting character in the game and they also modeled his face for it.

There should be an option in the game like with Witcher 3's DLC "alternate looks" to have Reddick's character be outfitted in his full police uniform.

The HZD lore comes together very well, pretty much every important question the early game raises is answered by the end.

I haven't used the US store in a while but is it like the Japanese store where every game has one of two star ratings: 4, which means nothing in particular, and 3 which means don't waste your time? I have never seen any rating other than that. I have never rated a game either and don't know if I even know how.

No the us store has a meaningless likes system instead of stars. There is no dislike option

I guess I should probably start doing story quests because I'm level 35 and the idea of the game having "major supporting characters" seems unbelievable to me

It does have a star rating system but I don't actually know how to use it. Of course virtually anything liked by anyone has close to 5 stars.

It works well as a warning light for lovely PSVR games though because a bunch of the lovely ones have one or 2 stars.

It's quite a small cast, but there are several recurring/quest chain characters once you reach the western half of the world.

HZD is many times the size of Uncharted, you can probably one and done UC4 while waiting for HZD to be delivered.

Get Uncharted 4 since it's like $30 on Amazon, play that, then go get HZD in a month when Amazon will undoubtably have a sale for 25% off or something.

In HZD weapon mods don't impart attributes on ammo that doesn't already have that attribute, right? I feel dumb but I'm having a hard time understanding tear in context with all the other elements.
