HZD has as many "icons to hunt" as less than a quarter of the average Ubisoft collectathon and the cauldrons, trials, and vantage points are drat cool instead of forgettable things you just pick up. The mugs and flowers are forgettable but skippable and the flowers all have poems written on them. It's not a perfect game but man the collecting aspect is not part of its problems. That'd be like complaining about all the things to find in New Vegas.

The vantage point story was good, and I didn't know there was more text when you picked them up beyond the audio recordings until like the fifth one. I don't normally read the book items in most games but those ones were worthwhile

I also really like that collectibles aren't marked precisely and are marked as an area. It cuts down on the "go directly to the icon" aspect that made asscreed get boring. Edit: ^yeah, I didn't know about the text until it was mentioned in the thread, and reading it completely reversed my opinion of them as a collectable.

I'm pretty sure IO said they still have the Hitman IP in a tweet, unless I'm just making poo poo up in my head again.

Guillermus posted:I got Armored Cored 4A for my 360 a few months ago and it's really rough around but fun. I'm sure that FROM can make a great robot fighting game with current tech and experience from their more recent releases. From somehow got the idea that moving super fast is what AC was about now and made three of the worst games in the series for the PS3 era. I really hope they step back from that going forward if they revive the IP. And hopefully go back to Ravens. Thankfully for Answer lucked out by being not only solid but by Another Age and Nine Breaker being pretty tragic.

The mugs and flowers are forgettable but skippable and the flowers all have poems written on them. I liked that they were fewer and more significant. But I am bewildered that they are not helpful without a set. You cant explore a bit if you feel like it and be rewarded. You have to be in for a long icon hunt to get any reward. Which is just terrible. I loved everyone about horizon that wasn't open world. The open world was bandaged over Ubisoft bullshit. I wish it was all cauldrons and story mission.

They really aren't helpful after you turn the set in either. The rewards are crap.

I probably wouldn't have gotten all the cups or flowers except that the platinum seemed relatively doable. I am really glad that there wasn't a trophy for picking up every audio log

I wandered around HZD just finding random stuff but not putting in effort when it came to collectables. By the time I was mid game I had bought all the purple gear I could need and was making GBS threads on everything the game could throw at me. I didn't realise the collectables unlocked anything else of note since I felt like I was already off the hook power wise.

I definitely had effectively infinite money way earlier in that game then most games. After stealth armor and a combat armor and the good weapons. What are you supposed to buy?

That's true, but on top of that, asscreed has like 4 other types of collectibles of which there are like 50 each. I don't really have a beef with that, but I have to turn off the minimap to enjoy the game.

Bombadilillo posted:After stealth armor and a combat armor and the good weapons. What are you supposed to buy? But yeah the item-progression was basically like ok struggle with boring white-blue garbage bows that weren't that exciting, get to Carja as soon as you can and buy bad rear end purple weapons/armor so you can begin having fun, and then a bit later you get purple mods and there theres not much difference between a couple %  Don't get me wrong I'm glad it works like that, I wasn't having much fun up until i got to Carja when I could buy the purple weapons (on Hard anyways), so having the best tools right away was smart and basically got me more interested in the gameplay at that point. But there were probably better ways to handle the equipment system in general. Xaris fucked around with this message at 05:55 on May 15, 2017 |

The side stuff was better than creed or whatever to me, because aside from the flowers and cups everything was interestingly designed. The world is so meticulously crafted that almost all the places it brought me felt worth checking out in some capacity. The game is great in the visual story telling dept. which is pretty much my favorite thing. Even the flowers and cups will bring you to some cool places on the map you might otherwise miss, but I still would consider them totally skippable.

I liked the metal flowers cause you could spot them by the triangle of real flowers from a distance. The cups sucked except that's actually a decent enough joke for a game and the collector sounded like Will Forte. Is there ever any explanation of what the metal flowers were, who put them there, why they have lyrics?

Nioh DLC is super good. I would have paid 15 bucks for it by itself. I almost thought to myself "From did it again, the dlc area is the beat in the game" then I was like "oh right, not From"

In Horizon ZD, the only collectibles you really "need" are the Metal Flowers. The rest are just extra, mostly pointless, and take forever. Other than that, do all the side missions and the story missions, and it moves along at a pretty good pace. (Always do the side missions before the main story missions.)

All the collectables have some story in them, though it's not immediately obvious what they are. But none of them are required. It's good flavor, though.

There are only 3 collectables and you don't need any of them but the vantages feel the most substantial imo. and none of them take very long. Flowers being the most time consuming by a long shot.

Horizon: Zero Dawn only has one significant flaw, but it is a very big, potentially crippling one. So we must turn to fanart to rectify it https://twitter.com/CritterOfHabit/status/863189792187531264

Mordiceius posted:Is Dragon Quest Heroes and or Dragon Quest Heroes 2 any good? How do you like the Dragon Quest feel in general? 1 was kinda fun from the characters and dialog, the character action was good, but the maps and enemies were pretty boring, and missions bogged down into boring slogs to do some pretty weak tea collection. Haven't checked out the new one yet, which some reviewers put as a step forward and some as a step back. There are demos, I believe.

Wandle Cax posted:You could actually say the exact same thing about any AC game but replace cauldrons, trials and vantage points with assassin tombs, contracts, sunken treasure chests etc etc By the time you see your first HZD collectible, it's 3 hours in and there are roughly 10 in that entire section of the map, half of which are interesting. After an hour of AC, the game will have vomited 30 icons at me and 2-3 of them are interesting. AC really needs to aim for quality over quantity next time around.
