i mean in HZD the only thing i got sick of was trying to get perfect triple mods, i actually enjoy having to hunt certain machines for certain parts, because machine hunting is far and away the best part of the game and having any flimsy extrinsic reminder to do it more often is fine with me i guess i'll see how it goes

is there any way to put the weapon wheel ammo crafting back on LMB where it belongs also you currently can't bind tab to weapon wheel (the menu will let you, but when you actually press tab it just opens the map) but i assume that's an outright bug and not just a poor design decision

do you ever get an upgrade so that firing the Sharpshot Bow on the move doesn't degrade your accuracy or is that just how it works now e: just saw the skill at the bottom of Infiltrator -- next question, does it remove the penalty or just reduce it?

How do you exit the number code entry menu? (Like for locked doors.) There's no on-screen indicator, and ESC, the interact key, right click, all do nothing. e: i just looked up the answer online, good thing they don't actually require you to have already found the number in-game. this port's better than the first one in terms of performance but the UI is a complete shitshow, and it's even weirder because it keeps loving things up that the first game's M+KB control scheme did just fine Tuxedo Catfish fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Mar 23, 2024 |

The game has significantly more RPG-esque stat progression, some of it baked into the skill trees, some of it into weapon upgrading, and some of it into universal mechanics. If you're stacking as many bonuses as possible you do ridiculous damage, to the point where some returning large machines might die even faster than in HZD, but only if you're engaging with the Diablo 3-like gameplay loop where it's like "okay if you're standing in a fairy circle hopping on one leg widdershins firing energy-type bullets at a grass-type enemy you get +10% damage" which leaves you really pigeonholed, while flexibility and not having to think about that poo poo comes at a cost in potential damage output. Honestly I'm finding it really unsatisfying even now that I have a busted endgame weapon. Every system in the game is just slightly worse and more annoying than it used to be. I wish I could just backport throwing spears and the more aggressive machine AI and throw out basically everything else they changed. e: a lot of what's wrong is really subtle things with the controls; knockdowns last a little longer, there's a weird delay after firing before your aim circle starts to shrink again, long dodge roll got removed, the new climbing mechanics mean Aloy is constantly getting stuck to surfaces when you were just trying to walk, Sharpshot Bows got punished for being too universally good in the first game in a way that doesn't make them weaker but does make them way more annoying to use, the multi-arrow nocking skills introduce way more aim variance, the ammo crafting menu stops registering button presses if you slide from one ammo type to the next -- everything is like this. it's still more Horizon, so objectively speaking the result is still a pretty decent game, but it constantly invites comparison to something that just felt better. the Nioh to HZD's Soulsborne. e2: also i will never understand what made them think that whistling was too good and had to go, but the Smoke Bomb is fine. conceptually it's too cool for me to completely hate it but being able to just interrupt any machine attack pattern you can't be bothered to learn to dodge feels like a crutch. if it were up to me i'd probably have split the de-aggro tool and the parry/interrupt tool into two, but on the other hand the game is already overloaded with unnecessarily complex redundant systems Tuxedo Catfish fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Mar 25, 2024 |

Arglebargle III posted:Is this game good? It's like a small step down from Horizon Zero Dawn; if you liked the first game, it's more of it. There are a lot of little nagging annoyances that didn't have to be there and weren't before (why is everything a hold-to-activate input for no good reason? why are there a million redundant ammo types? why did fire get nerfed to death while frost is still the god-king of status effects? why is Aloy's knockdown recovery so slow? etc.) but none of them are enough to ruin the experience unless you were extremely on the fence already.

Are there any other settings in the game that affect the drag / pan speed of the world map? I could have sworn it was faster either before the most recent patch or before I made some adjustments, but I don't know what could have changed to affect it. e: i reset everything and something did the trick. best guess is something in the "controller" panel is being inherited when it shouldn't be but who knows Tuxedo Catfish fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Apr 5, 2024 |

the weapon modding system is really poorly thought out in general. just false choices top to bottom. which is kind of weird because outfit modding works in a much more sensible way where outfit choice dictates most of your bonuses but you get to tweak or combine a little bit of a second playstyle into whatever the armor itself promotes.

the game would be better if you removed the crafting/upgrading/gear scaling elements completely. Horizon Zero Dawn was way more fun on NG+ when you could just completely ignore that aspect of the game (except for a last few marginal mods maybe) and i expect the same will be true hereMedullah posted:Or let us craft our own weapon with the 3 ammo types we want on it. But no, I'm sure we're gonna get "This bow has Sharpshot Arrows and Improved Sharpshot arrows. This one has Improved Sharpshot arrows and Improved Improved Sharpshot arrows" although if you MUST have crafting this is a way better idea than the incoherent grab bag of elemental distribution in HFW's existing weapons.

i think it's hunter bows, not sharpshot -- the Marshal Hunter Bow with its mathematically optimal mods outperforms Death-Seeker's Shadow with the same by like 12% on average, but only if you assume you get the full overdraw and concentration bonuses on the Marshal Bow 100% of the time and also that you completely ignore the "damage against shocked / burning" and "damage against knocked down" conditional bonuses it also assumes you're bothering to measure hunter bows by their impact damage in the first place

having less stuff is a point in HZD's favor HZD also has: - sharpshot bows that work properly - long dodge roll - much more sensible distribution of weapon elements - you can get perfectly optimal mod setups without cheating in two NG+ cycles total instead of 5+ - better ammo economy, even on UH - simpler / more elegant UI - better traversal simply by virtue of not having the "climb anywhere" ledges to get stuck on - no Clamberjaws or Clawstriders the downside is you lose out on the Spike Thrower and big machine variety

Ytlaya posted:This just seems like you tried to force them into a niche that they're not meant to fill. Yes, and the Zero Dawn players are in the right.  The Sharpshot bow is still far and away the best damage-dealing bow. They didn't make it weaker, they just made it more annoying to use. If they wanted a different weapon to replace it as the primary damage-dealing weapon, they should have made another bow that deals actual damage.

Ytlaya posted:Warrior Bow does really good damage though (and so does Sharpshooter bow, you just have to do things like "freeze the machine and then stop to line up a shot at a weak point" instead of just using it as "the bow that is stronger"). i will admit that while i've experimented with most of the weapon classes in the game, i have probably not given the Warrior Bow the chance it deserves

I don't know why Plasma just isn't "repeat all Impact damage received after a delay." It would still be worse than Freeze overall but the delayed damage would have some niche applications.
