Franchescanado posted:Thanks for those two summaries. I loved HZD, but it's been years since I beat it. I was lukewarm on the sequel, but after those two refreshers, I'm actually pretty pumped for the new game. No idea why I've been lukewarm, cuz I loved the original. There’s still time to play FW ahead of the release of FW! It’s worth returning to, especially for the couple new machines it has.

bobjr posted:I do like how Sylens does kind of represent the story Elisabet told at the end with the tree, because while he is extremely smart, motivated, and curious, he also has almost no empathy outside of what helps him learn more. Yeah he pretends to have remorse for helping create a dangerous cult, but if he hadn’t been betrayed and kept getting to learn more from Hades, Sylens would have never cared what the cult was doing. He will absolutely make the same mistakes in the sequel, and happily trod over anyone who gets in his path.

CobiWann posted:Fake spoilers. Go. Aloy gets murdered in the first chapter, as a comeuppance for her previous transgressions. Erend goes on a vengeance spree, tracking down Aloy’s murderers one-by-one. The second half of the game you actually play as Aloy’s killer, and realize the people you’ve been murdering as Erend had good reason to hunt down Aloy and are just normal humans. At the end, you must decide as Erend: save your last remaining humanity and forgo killing the Aloy murderer, or kill the last Aloy murderer, completing your vengeance for Aloy’s death.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Freeze/Blow up is the way with the big monsters. Freeze in general was insanely good in HZD Freeze was definitely more powerful overall compared to fire, since burning status just meant a few seconds of the machine effectively disabled while it reacted to the burning, and about 20 seconds of taking burn damage in low increments. Meanwhile, freeze meant multiplier damage for all normal arrows and additional chance to knock off parts, which was crazy effective. Of course, certain animals being more prone to fire damage meant it was worth using flame arrows on them anyways, which showed they got the balancing and variety pretty well done.

Mr. Funny Pants posted:Also, don't be too proud to watch some how-to videos on Youtube. Once I'd given myself a fair number of aid-free attempts, I got some help, both here and in videos. Truth. One of the hunting grounds is about “stealth” despite only giving you 40 seconds to complete a couple of the challenges. And one of those was updated post launch to be one of the hardest, so looking up how to do it will still require multiple tries if you’re unlucky.

blue squares posted:Yeah, I was really annoyed by this at first, too. But then I found out that basically nobody in the town likes him, he didn't get voted in, he manipulated people and contracts to get advantages, and he winds up coming off more like some small-town boss in a Western that everyone is afraid of crossing. He was only pretending to run a union. To OPs point, this still comes across as anti-union. “See, unions don’t actually care about the workers anyways, while charging the workers money and forcing businesses to pay more than they otherwise would!” I haven’t made it very far, but I’ll be very disappointed if Aloy doesn’t become Leader of the People as they overthrow the powers that be. Pretty sure Avad would cum at even the thought of Aloy dominating him and taking his power.

It’s likely a convoy. Convoys of machines will follow a path and can randomly be found. It consists of a transport type machine, and can be accompanied by various others.

Hollismason posted:How do you complete the very first hunter trials where you have to shock 3 enemies? I shoot the powercell and it just gets knocked off or it doesn't shock any surrounding enemies. Immediately when you start, there’s often multiple machines close to each other to the left. Sneak into that area, throw a rock to get them a little bit closer together, and then hit the power cell with shock ammo. If you’re lucky, this initial shock will hit multiple machines, and if you’re really lucky will also shock another machine with a power cell. This will allow you to set off another chain reaction quickly. Otherwise, wait for multiple enemies to engage you and this should put them all close enough that you’ll hit one or two more with the next chain reaction.

Eggnogium posted:Can’t really remember if Shellsnappers were in the last game but boy do I hate them. Something about how I fight causes their AI to spend 90% of its time burrowing from snipe spot to snipe spot. I just went 3 full minutes without doing a single point of damage, terrible design. Agreed. They’re easy enough to cheese a fight against if you have cover nearby, but I just had one draw out the fight so fricken long just by tunneling underground constantly. It’s AI kept looking for a spot to tunnel out of to bellyflop on top of me. Since I was standing on a rock, it couldn’t find a spot and would just go back and forth underground without ever surfacing until it’s AI just had it resurface in one of two other spots.

Lobok posted:Speaking of greenshine, does anybody know how to get the one on top of this little tower? I did some random exploring yesterday and went to the rear end end of the map so this one is on the far southwest coast. Pretty cool that going south of this I ended up in a semi-surprise Tideripper fight on the beach (the compass kind of spoiled it) and then farther on there's the ship/base of the Zeniths. It looks like maybe I could swim across to it but I'm assuming there'd be some form of insta-death. Might need a flying mount?

exquisite tea posted:e: It looks like GG shared some more of the combat-specific tweaks: I definitely ran into that issue multiple times, because I tend to spam R1 to critical strike downed enemies, which usually results in using the light attack instead of critical strike right away. I noticed that often times an enemy would then have their health bar go to 0, but would then get up and start attacking again. Makes sense that it glitched and they didn’t actually lose that health.

ThomasPaine posted:Is it worth playing through all the machine strike people? It's one of the last things I have left to do I have one intermediate player left, and two experienced players remaining to beat. I have already beaten the old lady who is supposedly the best strike player. If you’re a completionist, go for it. Otherwise, the rewards are still just skill points and more strike pieces (to my knowledge) and the game play only gets worse as the opponent gets “better”. This means taking longer and longer to complete a board because they’re less likely to put their pieces in stupid positions. As others have pointed out, the best way to have quicker games in which you do better is to employ one super strong piece and one low point piece. Once the low point piece dies, you’ll be able to use your good piece twice per turn and absolutely wreck the opponent.

It definitely feels like more machines have a natural sway and micro-movements to parts that make them feel more “alive” and natural, but also makes it harder to hit the smaller parts.

mastershakeman posted:The only weapons I just don't use are tripcaster and ropecaster. I just use traps instead and tying down machines didn't work in the first one on tough difficulties so I figure the same here I played HZD only on ultra hard, and the ropecaster was fantastic at taking on big, tough enemies like the stormbird. It allowed you to use critical strike repeatedly, or more easily utilize the sling bombs to add status effects. It’s biggest issue was how expensive ammo was to repeatedly utilize.

I can shoot parts off just fine with regular bows but I'll land multiple direct hits with a tearblast and it literally never knocks the part off and then on top of that they don't even really do damage. Which is nuts considering tearblast was god tier in Horizon 1. I’ve only had tearblast for a couple hours and it still is pretty effective. If you combine it with the part destroyer valor surge, it’s insane.

RatHat posted:Is it just me or is Aloy's dodge really terrible? Does it even have i-frames? It has a million I-frames. Genuinely, you can dodge at the right time and have attacks go right through you even if it’s explosive or they end up sitting directly on your face. Hell, you can even dodge the plasma explosion from getting plasma status applied to you. Don’t get me wrong, the dodge is still terrible feeling, especially compared to the range of machine melee attacks and their aggressiveness, but the i-frames are pretty generous in this game.
