Playing Horizon so clos after Monster Hunter World and God of War might have been a mistake....

I'm level 24 with blue medium armor but level 18 enemies still kill me in two-thee hits, ranged or melee. That, and the fact that the dodge is on circle and doesn't seem to have many or any invincibility frames really through me off. Any tips for raising defense/health?

When robots wind up before hitting you, take it more seriously and roll out of the way when they lunge instead of continuing to attack them.

Roll has invincibility, but the window is short.

Whenever possible early on, be a pussy and hide on a tall cliff or in some far away bushes and take potshots.

Use elemental armor and resistance potions liberally when fighting robots with elemental attacks. Drink that poo poo like it’s fireball and you just turned 21

When you get good at figuring out you can only hit a robot once (or occasionally twice) before they melee you back and you have to dodge, you get a good dance rhythm and eventually you’ll be able to waltz between three enemies at a time

If you hit a robot and position yourself behind them it buys you another second where they have to turn around to attack you. With practice you can do the drunken boxing thing with them where they keep swinging at you and missing because you’re too close to them but not in the right direction for them to hit

In GoW can I just upgrade/craft/train whatever seems cool or can I screw myself? I don’t need any specifics.

Upgrade things according to what you suck at. I suck at dodging/parrying so I upgrade things for health and healing, install gems for temporary defense when hurt, etc

Apparently the 20% off code for watching Detroit trailers doesn't work on Playstation network subscriptions. However, it works on your whole order not just one item so I'm looking for games to buy.

I think I just want digital-only games because if it's available on disc I'd rather have it on disc.

So far I got
- Undertale
- Life is Strange
- SOMA

Any more I should try out?

If you like narrative-heavy games like Life is Strange, SOMA etc. then perhaps you would also enjoy Hellblade, which is also digital-only.

You can easily argue that God of War encouraged unhealthy attitudes and expectations of women (something I think we can all agree with) without making the claim that it depicted rape

Also, content aside, anyone claiming that God of War was ugly just has amnesia. Its graphics blew people's minds back then by pushing the limits of what people thought a PS2 was capable of

god of war was one of the best looking games period at the time, but "at the time" was 2005 and people forget how long ago that was. it's like when people say something looks like a ps2 game just because it seems kinda dated

WARNING: do not play Detroit it you have self loathing issues because while the quick time events are mostly forgiving, toward the end if you screw one up because you have the reaction time of a half dead sloth it puts your game in a situation where you have to do horrible things to your favorite characters. :smith:
