I'm honestly not sure what you are trying to tell me here lol.

Pretty sure he is saying it didnt really get that "overshadowed" considering it sold very well and got more consistently good reviews.

Ah, okay. By no means did I mean to imply Horizon sold or review poorly, I was more so making a statement by how insane the hype around Elden Ring is. It's giving me Skyrim type vibes where everyone won't shut up about the damn game lol.

I just finished the game yesterday, only a few trophies away from full completion but I'm not going to play the boardgame lol. 

It was good. Not as good as Zero Dawn, but a lot of my enjoyment from that game came from learning about the world they created. I felt the entire premise was of course sci-fi, but also grounded in some sort of reality that I really enjoyed it. This game kind of threw a lot of that out of the window and I am disappointed. 

I also turned down machine difficulty at about halfway through the game - it wasn't even that difficult, it was just a slog getting through the tankier machines. Would highly recommend (change difficulty to custom and just change the machine health down 1 step).

I haven't bought this yet. I still got some games I need to beat first. At this point, I'll just wait until this game goes on sale for 50% off (or more) in like 2-3 months or a bit longer.

It's so worth it. This has so much more than the first didn't have but it also still has it fair share of bugs which is annoying. One in particular happened to me ALL the time in Days Gone and is happening here as well. For instance, rebel camps here have leaders and your goal is to kill them in every camp while the rest of the group is optional. Many times, I'll kill the leader before the rest and Aloy will start talking to herself about what she needs to do in her low tone but there's still 10 enemies launching bombs, riding machines, all of which are trying to kill you and she's talking about collecting items off the leader while you're fighting all of them lol.  I never experienced stuff like this w/ the first one. Minor gripe. Got a couple other minor gripes but nothing really ruins the experience. This game is just as fun, if not better than the first. 

Was just exploring the other night and saw a couple really weak burrowers just running around doing their thing and as I'm avoiding them the red alert goes up but none of them are even looking near me. Thought it was another bug until I hear deep footsteps in the distance getting closer and turn around and see a level 50 apex Thunderjaw storming at me like a giant bear after someone gets too close to her cubs lol. Just destroying all buildings and tree in it's path. Such a fun fight.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it when you get to it.

Just looked on eBay and prices are still fairly close to launch game prices. Guess that means the demand is still high for it. I got mine from a Facebook razz and I can link you to the group if you want to test your luck. I got it for $27. If you're not familiar w/ razzes, I can explain it. The group is 11.5k people so razzes fill up quickly especially the game ones. A lot of kickass sports memorabilia also

I still can't get over this game and how much fun it is. I will be very sad when I'm done. One thing it does that is fantastic is not getting redundant w/ side quests. Take Far Cry games for example. About 15% of side missions are "there's an outpost that needs cleared, go get it" and it's the same thing every time. They do this w/ 3-4 other side missions as well. Horizon makes literally every quest different. They might repeat themselves a couple times but the characters are so vastly different that you barely notice. Can't say I've ever experienced this w/ another open world game

There's a guy named Shawn who does video game razzes. That's who I got mine from. Usually 10 spots at $9 a piece. I bought 3 so get a 30% chance of winning. I've won 2/3 I played in lol. 

If you're into sports memorabilia, you're gonna love this place.

Let me know if you have issues and I can PM an admin but they should let you in

Edit: MODs if this isn't allowed, my bad.... and also let me know why if it isn't lol. I couldn't think of a reason why it would be

Excellent game. Easy final boss but whatever. The game is gorgeous, has a great story, combat is exceptionally fun, and overall a great time even with the bugs it has. 

Completed quite a bit. I never played Strike but I only have one mission left and it's the final hunter challenge using the Tremortusk weapon to kill the three striders.

Kinda spoilery:

....

.....

There will be another and it'll be another day one purchase. 

Loved this game

The first game was the slowest I’ve ever gotten into a game I finished I think. Wasn’t feeling it until the entire point of the story was explained (mechanical monsters got an obsessive taste for human biology, Alloy was a clone of lead scientist) so I’m looking forward to eventually playing this one too. I am currently a bit into RDR2 again and I imagine once I’m through with that and crash bandicoot 4 this game will be pretty cheap. I think it’s already like half off anyway.

Glad I wasn’t the only one who had a struggle getting into it.

I made the mistake of going right from God of War to this, had like not even a day break. And I think it exacerbated things there.
