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.

No they do not. If there is like a secondary "fire" attribute on a mod that you put on, say, a rope caster, your rope caster doesn't start doing fire damage. Those secondary attributes get ignored when they don't apply. Same with elementary weapons - if you put a fire mod on your trip caster, it won't do add fire to your shock wires. It just adds more fire to your blaze wires.

I'm spanish and that's an ad that is all around here for some reason. It says "My dad is stronger than yours" then God of War "Happy father's day".

I think it's really cool and I hope they give more information, exclusives pushed me to get a PS4 and this one is yet another purchase for me.

"my dad can beat up your dad" is like an ancient meme in US culture, so that's probably what they are going for, but I don't know if that resonates in any other countries. Thank you El Goono for the translation!

Good call, Horizon combat is kinda like Vanquish in all the best ways.

I think what makes Horizon so good is that the game gives you toys but lets you decide how to use them. Literally every weapon in the game is optional, I have no doubt you could do a "spear only run" though it would be really tedious when fighting robutts with a lot of HP. But it does do that thing where it feels like you're not just pushing a button to make awesome happen. When you do a backwards jump slow-mo headshot downing a Watcher and then as soon as you land turn and Ropecast a Glinthawk so you can roll away and throw frozen grenades at a T-Rex.

Also didn't see it mentioned in this thread yet, Guerilla is "working on" either an Expansion or already on the sequel.

I am about 3 hours into Yakuza 0 and i'm not feeling it. I remember enjoying the previous Yakuza game though. But maybe i've just been spoiled by a lot of great games over the past couple of years. It really does not feel like its any better than Shenmue from 15 years ago except improved graphics. Oddly enough the most fun i've had is trying to win prizes playing that claw machine game.

Try to get to Majima's section if you haven't already. That's been the turning point for a few people.

Actually you did say that and I somehow misread it as "its spanish" :doh:

That's pretty cool.

And its interesting they're pushing the kid angle so much. After the E3 video most people were expecting the kid to die or the new-Kratos to die and the kid to take over, but if the ads are really pushing that angle, maybe you're just with the kid the whole game?

A quick google suggests fathers day is this weekend in Spain. Maybe an infodump or new trailer or something? I would have thought it would have been more hyped by now though if it was.

Regarding the kid, I think he's going to act as some sort of morality system where he is influenced by the actions you take. Kind of like Bioshock 2.

Being honest, I rather play as Kratos than the kid unless you make the kid a murdering machine that dismembers huge monsters. It's what I want from a God of War game.

Maybe you can switch between them in combat and the kid starts to surpass Kratos in outrageous violence.

The kid being relegated to an assist button makes me hope he at least gets to learn stuff and you can assign him different moves as you go on.

Quite frankly I think it's one of the few things to the game's detriment that you need a specific flavour of bow for an arrow type. That and the climbing being environment-based instead of character-centric (ie; you can climb THIS ledge type but not the one right beside it, instead of just grabbing anything remotely ledge-shaped).

The bow thing is annoying. I like having a long range bow and a short range bow but having two short range bows with different elemental modifiers was a bit odd. The climbing could be better but on the other hand, it isn't something you do a lot. I jumped a lot more than I climbed. Jump all the way to the top of Mount Shasta.
