just finished it :banderas:

best premise and setting for a game I've seen probably since Assassins Creed (the execution is far better here though)

Guerrila now up there among the absolute best studious like Naughty Dog, Fromsoftware and CD Projekt Red for me

haven't been this excited for a new franchise since Mass Effect, hope they give us the sequel in 3-4 years minimum though, maybe a PS5 launch title

I like how the side content and collectibles never gave me fatigue, everything felt just right about this game in general, nothing left me hungry for more or, like I said, fatigued, which often is a major issue in open world games..nothing felt just thrown on in this game, it was all meticulously crafted.

I have to agree, shocked how great of a character Aloy is btw. Phenomenal performance from Ashly Burch ( i looked her name up lol) and she's fantastically well written as well.

Also said it many times but i'm shocked how good i found the story to be, obviously hiring all those RPG devs paid off.

He's from The Wire lol, probably why you recognize it.

I heard Vesemir voiced someone in this game too

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Mar 08, 2017 10:30 pm

I might be able to get the last trophy after all without doing another playthrough.

End game spoiler

Spoiler:

Not sure if that's possible though, i was going to play it again anyway but i might leave that for a dead period later in the year if possible.

by Firenze Wed Mar 08, 2017 10:44 pm

it is possible apparently..I mentioned it last night, that's what all the guides say. Got it earlier.

Nil isn't affected by the trophy apparently. He's my favorite side character in the game tbh.

Voice acting was strong across the game

by RealGunner Wed Mar 08, 2017 10:46 pm

Yea was gonna say that too. Voice acting is amazing.

Yeah him, that was the one i thought i missed.

I'll check a Trophies walkthrough video anyway when i do it to make sure, gonna clean up the map first.

by RealGunner Wed Mar 08, 2017 11:31 pm

Do I still have to kill the machines even if they are friendly?

Supposed to kill 2 sawtooths but I tamed one and killed another and yet it is still asking me to kill both

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Mar 08, 2017 11:35 pm

I think I know what quest that is but I'm going to ask what quest that is anyway?

By the wording I'm going to assume you have to kill them.

by RealGunner Wed Mar 08, 2017 11:36 pm

finding the nora braves

yea i think so. Shame since it isn't doing anything to me Sad

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Mar 08, 2017 11:38 pm

Lol.

Yeah you have to kill them, easy enough though.

by RealGunner Thu Mar 09, 2017 12:08 am

Shell-walkers are definitely my worst machines.

That triple jump :facepalm:

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Mar 09, 2017 12:14 am

I'm kind of surprised Shellwalkers are the ones to give you issues, mind you I don't know what others you have seen yet

by RealGunner Thu Mar 09, 2017 12:15 am

Probably because I am still using the same basic bow from the start lol

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Mar 09, 2017 12:17 am

I did the same for ages too, don't think I upgraded till like mid to late 20s lmao.

I won't be making the same mistake when I play it again.

by RealGunner Thu Mar 09, 2017 12:20 am

i am not sure what to buy or which modification to use?

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Mar 09, 2017 12:22 am

Shadow stuff when you can.

Get the Sharpshot Bow btw, it's basically a sniper rifle lol.

by RealGunner Thu Mar 09, 2017 12:24 am

doing like 15 damage on boars ffs

2 damage on machines unless i hit the weak spots

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Mar 09, 2017 12:29 am

The hunter bow does *bleep* all even on Normal, I basically never used it again after I got the Sharpshot Bow and War bow. (except when I wanted to use Fire arrows)

by Firenze Thu Mar 09, 2017 12:30 am

I didn't bother using the Sharpshot of War bows until near the end of the game when I used them for trials and had a lot of shards smh..not that it mattered much on easy but they make fights a lot faster

think Rockbreakers remained a tedious fight regardless, probably the most annoying machine IMO

Then Stormbirds and Thunderjaws

I hated Stalkers and Ravagers too

Behemoth's weren't worth much IMO

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Mar 09, 2017 12:34 am

BTW I dunno if I mentioned it Firenze but I took out two corrupted Rockbreakers with that armor without losing any health lmao.

Never seen anything like it in my life.

by Firenze Thu Mar 09, 2017 12:37 am

I used it for the final mission and didn't even bother dodging at all, not sure if it's because I was on easy but I was literally invincible
