Horizon: Zero Dawn

I'm feeling Shadow of Mordor +Enslaved +Farcry mixed in with a bit of Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Colossus

What aspects of Shadow of Mordow out of interest ES?

My brother mentioned it as well but I didn't really see it.

I'm seeing aspects of Witcher 3 and Skyrim in there too tbh, bunch of different aspects of gameplay inspiration going on.

The skill point system resembles' Mordor's so much, even some of the abilities

Oh right I was more thinking it resembles Far Cry in that way tbh.

Probably similar though.

Also Firenze I said this to RG but when you get something called a Cauldron quest do it.

Won't say what they are to spoil but they are fantastic.

played for a couple of hours so far

game is basically Assassins Creed 3

not understanding the hype atm, but I am fairly early on still

What lol

I really don't understand how you came to that comparison tbh.

I can see where he's coming from as you start as a kid, and train, go out in the wilderness etc

If he said story starts out like that I could understand it but game in general lol?

yep, it's incredibly similar to AC3. Basically everything about it. Besides enemy types.  Traps, hunting and looting system. Right down to character animations when running and climbing. Early story seems similar too. Also the whole focus mode thing is basically Eagle vision. Like I said I'm still early on, explored and did side quests, yet to even do the proving stuff so hopefully it comes into it's own later but right now I'm not seeing anything original.

I really don't understand that but it's your opinion I suppose.

Then again judging the game before you do the proving is like judging the Witcher 3 on White Orchard.

Witcher 3 on white orchard sold me


Not that I have the same issues as Firenze. Never played AC3 so can't even compare. Really enjoying it so far personally.

TW3 never changes post White Orchard, not in terms of gameplay anyway.

I don't really have an issue with it. AC3 was a pretty decent game, I'm just saying I am not seeing anything too original yet but I expect that to change later on. Heard good things about the bosses/big machine battles.

It's fine i just don't see the comparison is all.

I enjoy it because the gameplay once you get further into the world is *bleep* amazing.

I'll honestly be surprised if you disagree and the story is genuinely unique and interesting and I the main character is awesome.

Obviously the world built is fantastic too and to my surprise pretty much all the side quests are good too so far.

holy shieeeettt

Would have been an unreal easter egg if he asked Aloy for a game of gwent ffs

Damn lol.

I was just doing that quest with that gear in that location too.

Someone hacked me

Aloy's voice actress was also someone in Life is strange

Bought the game. Gonna play it this weekend

Yeah Chloe in Life is Strange, not surprising that I loved that character too lol.

Geralt would have banged Aloy.

HOLY SHIT

I was wondering where i knew that voice from

aaand now i'm sad because i remember Life Is Strange

finished the proving test stuff and the first big boss battle

quite liking it but I can see human fights being boring compared to machines

Yea seen people say Human AI is pretty shit compared to machines.

It is tbh, although the bandit camps are quite fun.

Luckily the human fights are quite infrequent.

BTW the Story is getting really, really good for me. Far in a way surpassed my expectations so far.
