lgfualol Posted 6 November 2017 Posted 6 November 2017 Pre-ordered it as it had 10% off. Cannae wait.
Legend_in_blue Posted 6 November 2017 Posted 6 November 2017 On the original I have now cleared pretty much everything before heading out into the desert area on the way to that main city. There's lots of flying machines that wipe the floor with me here. The first area was a walk in the park and the difficulty seems to have spiked somewhat. What weapons/tactics are best to take these new guys out?

kingcarr21 Posted 26 January 2018 Posted 26 January 2018 I brought this July last year and made a start but then stopped playing ( I think another game came out which I focused on and forgot about Horizon). I started playing it again a couple of days ago and once I remembered the buttons I remember just how good this game is. Not very far, Ive done the proving and ive just gained the ability to Override machines. I quite enjoy exploring and collecting resources and hunting animals. Just wondered if there are any tips people can give me, what to focus my skill points on or items to keep and not sell etc.
Beliall Posted 26 January 2018 Posted 26 January 2018 i cant give any tips, i recently replaced my ps4 the kids stole and have been enjoying this game myself, along with GT sport. it a very good game, not had this much fun in an RPG since Witcher 3

Setting traps carefully can see you taking down monsters far above you ability to solo. Learn where to hit Thunderjaws to get their Disc Launcher. Oh, and don't run around aggroing everything! No no no...
egg_fried_rice Posted 29 January 2018 Posted 29 January 2018 Made a start on this at the weekend and it's brilliant. Visually, it's absolutely sensational and the play mechanics are good too.
kingcarr21 Posted 29 January 2018 Posted 29 January 2018 Took over my first bandit camp which was fun. Keep searching for animal skins and bones to upgrade carry capacity. I am currently level 12 but feel like I need to progress the story as the machines are too easy and I never use traps. Just run in and smash

Just run in and smash I felt this in the first area. Once you pass into the desert it's tricky. I haven't played it in a while so when I do go back no doubt I will be rusty. I'm ploughing through Fallout 4 and there appears no end to this (huge) game.
Sir Shep Posted 10 March 2018 Posted 10 March 2018 £15.99 on ps store at the mo, is it worth getting as it seems to be a little different to what I usually play.

Legend_in_blue Posted 11 March 2018 Posted 11 March 2018 The Frozen Wilds is currently under a tenner on the store. Worth a buy?

Legend_in_blue Posted 2 April 2018 Posted 2 April 2018 Been on this and nothing else every day for a week. Chipping away at it. 40 hours in, level 37. Just about to visit Sunwall. I'm pretty good at it now. The upgraded weapons certainly help. Just don't miss the power core in Mothers Cradle! Miss it and it's a pain to get back to. There is a workaround which involves taking a Strider up the wall to the boundary of the map and performing a series of jumps and rolls to avoid the invisible wall. Best to grab the power cell first time round...
Legend_in_blue Posted 5 April 2018 Posted 5 April 2018 Finally finished all of the bandit camps and hunting grounds. There was one hunting ground task that was a total pain to complete - it took me over 15 attempts to get it right. The stealth one where you have to loot the 4 crates. It appears this was made more difficult after an update. Only about 1 in 3 attempts down the zip line results in the first set of 3 being left alone. If one is picked up, there's no chance of doing this in the time limit and everyone attacks. Some people have done it with the shield weave armour, which I still don't have, to make it easier. Fluked it in the end though, did it with a second to spare. Only a few collectables left and two corrupted zones to clear. Level 43 so on target to finish at 50 no problem. It's beginning to become a little too easy though - the difficulty spiked around level 25, once beyond that, it's got progressively much easier to progress past the machines. Or maybe I'm just getting better. Next time round, ultra hard, new game+.

The small room is off one of the corridors off the main hall. When I got back, I couldn't find it, so I must have picked it up before! I can't remember ever doing it, although after over 40 hours of gameplay on this, I'm not surprised. By the first one, do you mean the one in the caves where you start out as young Aloy that you can go back to at any time? I definitely have one left to collect now. Once you have two power cores, go back to the room with the armour in and put them into the locks. This will allow you to get to the further three locks at which point the quest updates itself and tells you there are now three to collect. I now have 2/3, with just the one to go, the quest will update this for you. As a side, the 23 training dummies you can break are not listed on the map so I used this guide to find and break them all:

I didn't get there until 30 hours of gameplay had passed. If it is this one, then you will have to back track to mothers cradle and attempt to enter the compound which is likely to be constantly shut. The advice online about waiting for darkness and walking away from the bonfire next to the doors and then re-approaching so that they open etc etc does not work. At least, I couldn't get it so that the doors would open. Follow this advice: By the end of Maker's End, you should have 3 power cells out of 5. The next one is at the Grave Hoard - you can't miss it.

Legend_in_blue Posted 9 April 2018 Posted 9 April 2018 I've just finished the game. Gutted it's finished! I'd have to put it in my top 10 all time games list. Without question the best game on PS4 imo. Certainly that I've played. However I did platinum the game so my reluctantly becomes a . Frozen Wilds... let's have it!
leicsmac Posted 28 February 2020 Posted 28 February 2020 Just finished this myself after getting it cheap on the PS Store. Graphics, gameplay, plot, all excellent. In particular I liked the line about "two hundred years of science fiction and we still make the same mistakes", very meta - here's hoping humanity get the message IRL. Ted Faro is far too close to Elon Musk/Jeff Bezos for my liking.
