Been loving Horizon zero Dawn, it's very good, but I don't think it's quite the 100% game that it's been receiving on the review front.
Despite being considered an open world game, there are some obvious barriers and restrictions. One I find particularly annoying is the climbing mechanic. She can climb some ledges and yellow marked things, but a rock with something that looks like a ledge or part of a building and looks climbable is not. The stealth thing is also kind of naff, with the magic grass to hide in. I also came across a bit of an immersion breaking " You're about to leave the play area, if you continue, you will be returned to your last save" message when I was near the edge of the map up some mountains and my final whinge is that during some conversations your have dialogue options, but they don't seem to accomplish anything, all being a bit pointless.
Fighting them Dinos is a lot of fun though and the moment when you spot a new one.... Do I go for it, or just stay out of its way for now? I ALWAYS go for it. Usually to my detriment.:D The way you have to keep farming for parts while slightly annoying at the start, makes a lot of sense. I kept on taking on the raptor gguys and horse-bots, but stopped after a whiel, opting for avoiding them, but later on, I discovered I was lacking parts for a weapon I rather liked using. Turns out I did have heaps of what I needed when I was taking down the little guys, but because I left them alone for a while, my supplies had run out. Due to that it menas you might occasionally have to stop and restock on bots you don't see as all that much of a challenge anymore. But I don't think you ever get strong enough to feel safe, even when taking on the starting robots. If there's one, sure you're probably going to be OK, but there is rarely the situation of only one.
Also making them explode is extremely satisfying!:D
Some multiplayer dino hunting action would go down nicely in this game methinks!
yes and no...Quote:

there is an actual system shock 3 being worked on i believe.
I'm looking forward to SS3 as well, especially the news that it takes off right after #2's ending.
I'm hoping the System Shock remake is more along the lines of Tomb Raider Anniversary in that it's not a slavish recreation, but an expansion on the original idea.
When you accidentally bump into a pack of those damn corrupted Scrappers it ruins your day :mad:Quote:

I watched one take out a Sawtooth and a Scrapper at the same time.
But it is a damn good game. Those big flying Dino-birds are the hardest I've encountered yet.
Just bought a PS4 since my PS3 finally died.
Bought the 3rd Batman game on it - very good thus far :)
My son is still too young to properly use a console but loves to watch me play. I think Batman is a bit violent so are there any games out there that he would love to watch but I won't hate to play?
Oh, the striders are nothing now. I've managed to get the option to override the Thunderjaw and the big eagle thing. Gotta admit, I hate some sitations, like one time I was in the hunting grounds minding my own business (while hunting some big bison things) and out of nowhere 3 glinthawks punce, scare the bison and blow my cover. Now I have 3 bison and 3 glinthawks all gunning for me. and I died.Quote:

Its really interesting to me how it manages to train you to take on more and more dangerous bots. I was cornered by 3 stealth cat things and my previous encounter with just one was a horrible experience, but by using dofferent efefct weapons and the ropecaster to keep the buggers in one place, I managed to take aall three out in quick succession. That was with all three attack me too.
DId you play TF Devasattion on ps3? Uncharted 4 must be good. Most of my games are very batman based or a tad violent ATMQuote:
