Yeah great plot reviews. I was going to play the game again but honestly don't think I'll have the time and also don't want to go from 1 to 2 lest I wear it out, so thanks!

OldMemes posted:Maybe it's because I like Lance Reddick in most things he's in, but I couldn't hate Sylens. He focuses too much on the long term goal over the short term issues, but he did seem guilty about the cult thing, and he grows to at least respect Aloy by the end. Yeah same. I couldn't blame Sylens for his bullshit ultimately and I thought he was a cool antihero antagonist. I really hope we don't have to encounter robo Faro or clone Faro or any Faro. He won. He's the ultimate villain because he's always loving you and you can't touch him.

OldMemes posted:Yeah the impression I got from his character was "let me get it all, then everyone can have it after I get first look". He's very long term minded, but there's pros and cons to that. I always take him as wanting to check it out himself and not trusting people to do the right thing with it. I might play the game again even though I decided not to. Be nice to get reacquainted with Sylens in particular.

I'm more worried about my thatassophobia Serious answer I saw some swimming through caves and I think there is swimming through underground bases/structures that will be dark and low vis E; the entire SF bay appears to be there tho so might be the whole gamut of ocean poo poo.

Rinkles posted:I think his script doesn’t do the LOD shenanigans justice. There’s a bunch of stuff just floating in mid air where buildings should be. In another instance a tower appears out of thin air when he’s just a few meters away. No other reviewers have said it's that bad though. He's the only one I've seen where entire buildings aren't loading. Perhaps he requires a can of compressed air. DF did mention textures on buildings not loading but not the entire structure bring missing and they usually like to bang on about that sort of thing.

Rinkles posted:It looked like it was a specific location. It might have been easy to overlook. Oh yeah for sure. I was drawing the conclusion that nobody else has seen that kind of extreme problem with pop in so it's probably just a bug at that spot or something non-dire. What's skillup showed was very bad lol.

UnfortunateSexFart posted:Game seems weird to me so far. Like odd mood and dialogue. Also very clunky controls, but that's more because I came straight from dying light 2. Yeah the controls are rubbish. Fighting robots for parts is still really fun but driving Aloy around tight environments and anywhere you need to use the jump button could have used more work.

blue squares posted:Loving it so far, but wow they managed to achieve the impossible and made the crafting even dumber. The loving stash Crafting automatically accesses the stash right? I put the game on normal so it doesn't take ages and I haven't been bothering with doing hunts. I think I still have to though because the robos just blow me up with one hit sometimes.

Eyud posted:Absolutely loving the game so far. I’m still in Chainscrape, I’ve been taking things slow and doing every side quest/errand I come across. Resolution mode all the way, it looks way better than performance on a 4K TV and it feels like a very stable 30 fps. Yeah I'm enjoying resolution mode. It feels like you spend 75% of your time talking to people or travelling and 50% of combat is slow motion.

I like it when you spend a while talking to POCs wearing tribal inspired outfits then their boss walks out and it's some middle aged white bloke on his way to burning man.

I'm enjoying this game but it's weird when one character is saying their monologue, "you want some ammo I've got some ammo" and contextual words all at the same time as Aloy is saying she's sending poo poo to her stash or musing on using her hands as devices to climb a cliff she just saw. "Looks like a vertical incline punctuated by porous rock formations that I can view using my technology based focus. I could use my hands as crude biological devices to propel the rest of my body up the incline thus reaching the top of the incline."

Every fast paced action cutscene looks rough due to pop in, especially when they try to cut to a bunch of different stuff. Out in the game world sometimes I see it when a scene ends or occasionally there's a foul up, but generally smooth.

ymgve posted:Did they up the difficulty in this game? I'm playing on hard and is getting absolutely destroyed by enemies that are the same level as me. Like, some projectiles instantly one shot me. It happens on normal. I feel like the game is overtuned for how janky the combat can get at times and how some robots have mounted sniper rifles or literal broadside cannons that fire the instant you become visible

HampHamp posted:It was very late and I was running on fumes, but this is what happened to the best of my recollection: I found a campsite underneath one of those huge machines, Sylens left me a hologram explaining how he experimented on HADES, and I was supposed to use my focus to follow his trail. Using my focus gave me a sort of sonar ping style thing to follow, which led me to a big lake, and the ping is deep underwater in what seems to be a crashed plane. I'm guessing I followed the wrong trail? Yeah you're meant to follow the trail a big ball got dragged along lol

Jimbot posted:Is this game just straight much harder than the first one? Even on Normal (which I bumped down from Hard) Scrounger is just tearing me up with its basic attacks. I don't remember them being this much trouble. Even on normal the game rules are that you're not allowed to get hit by basically anything. The number of times I've been down to one more machine in a field and been suddenly killed by a long range gun or similar is high.

I feel like I am breaking items off robots and not finding them or the robots are destroying them on the ground? Really annoying because I tore off three horns from these strong new guys and I could only find one of them after fighting them for ages.

Use the customisation options in the menu, they're very robust and you can tailor most parts of the game to your liking. I have fully upgraded blue armour and still get one shot right at the end of a long winded robot battle. I'm thinking I'll just turn on easy loot so I can blow the poo poo out of robots with mines and get fun stuff like overrides without it feeling like work.
