Also I never did any Cauldrons until tonight... 3 of them plus a few small things bumped me 8% to 40%. Kinda shocked that they account for so much of the game.

NPC: Hey, Aloy go check on this person.

Me: No, main story only!

I will be doing all the tall necks and Pouch Upgrades though, just no side quests unless they're trophy related.

There's a TON of stuff that I was amazed doesn't get trophies. I could care less about them but still. There's a ridiculous amount of story in the side quests though, worth doing in my opinion.

I don't remember any of these characters from the first game besides Lance Reddick.

The 'see-er' dude in HZD was great - he was the guy you gave machine 'blood' to and he drank it, was an annoying side task especially if you didn't find him early enough to avoid having to face more machines just for him, but his dialog was pretty good.

I am doing a bunch of trophy cleanup before I finish the game... But I am having a issue with 2 trophies ...

The kill all Acquisition types. I have it all, unless that means there sub category also. But the thing is every time I killed a variation the tracker just stayed at 94%.

The other trophy is Scan all the Machines. I got the one you can miss, so that's not the issue. I know there is also one that's the End Boss... But I am still missing two that I can't seem to find.

FFS I think it's the Sunwing I am missing for the acquisition machines... I have used them for mounts but never killed and I assumed they were transport. I will try this tonight.


It was a damn Grazzer.... That's what I was missing.

I'm not too crazy about this game, mostly I think cause of the story. The cool mystery was solved in 1, and this game is just like "hey, you didn't really save the world, but you gotta try again!"

I also dumped it to Story Mode just to do the story. I don't think I'll bother with the Trophies in the end.

You'll be disappointed at the end then

While the story does indeed not have the first ones mystery it's still pretty gripping. I had planned on doing most side missions and everything along the way but I had to stop. The main story just sucked me in. The story is IMO very well done. The side missions are also much better in this game then the last IMO. The side missions that are in the trophy list I highly recommend. There are a few side missions in San Fran that gives out good rewards.


When it comes to the Trophies, go for it. They are not hard IMO. There is only one missable. So scan everything. Do the arena and go through all difficulties, scan everything before you jump down and that should clean up anything you may have missed.... There will be one at the very end. Plus you have access to some new venders at the end.

The only thing in this game I hate is the damn strike missions, but I am not going to have it stop me from the plat.

I'm 12/17 Main Missions in and not really liking the story, I'll finish it though.

2 main missions left, have not done a single side mission besides one Tall Neck.

Gotta say IMO your missing out, to each his own I suppose.



I am 85% done the trophies. I have two more before I can finish the main quest. Basically I have one flying quest left and I need to to do Two gauntlet missions. Finished Strike, glad that's over with!! I am 70% done in game. Once I finish the two trophies I plan on doing a few more side quests ... But I am getting pretty damn antsy to continue on with the game and finishing it.

I will be able to maybe finish the trophies tomorrow, rather the two I need, but my sister and brother in law are down and we will be finishing off most of the Kitchen Reno's. So the game will have to wait until maybe Sunday.

At 16:16:13 I beat Horizon Forbidden West while doing no side content besides one Tallneck:

Horizon Zero Dawn Remake/Remaster in the Works for PS5; Horizon Multiplayer Game in Development

https://mp1st.com/news/report-horizon-zero-dawn-re...

Twitter on fire over that HZD news. Personally if the tech is better and a game is last gen I see a justification for doing it. Lots of folks shut up when they saw TLoU part 1. Although I did platinum HFW on ps4 and it was fine. The ps5 controller with weapons / feedback is the only thing that I missed.

Now I’m seeing that HZD has been optimized for ps5 already? Not exactly sure what that means.

The HZD optimizations actually happened awhile ago. Basically a 60fps mode.

I’ll have to check it out. Says it performs about 2.5x better than ps4 pro. Loading times is thebig thing for me.

I played through the Frozen Wilds expansion last month on my PS5. The loading times definitely felt a bit quicker compared to how I remember them being in my original playthrough on the OG PS4 last year.

I need to play the DLC, I honestly may get the remaster since it will probably have the DLC and play it then when it's on sale. I am in no rush, I am trying to hold back on replaying Forbidden West again... I need to finish another game just having a hard time deciding.

Last year Sony gave away Horizon: Zero Dawn Complete Edition for free. Was it not available in Canada? I don't think it even was limited to PS+ subscribers.

It was, I think I ended up buying the complete edition on a flash deal... Just before Sony offered it. I remember being a tad bit bitter... Just like with Hot Wheels Unleashed PS5 being offered this month and just buying it about a month and a half back for no bloody reason. I am just trying to knock out AAA games in my backlog so by the time I get around to HZD DLC maybe I can get the remaster on a deal. The goal would be playing the 1st and 2nd before the 3rd Wich I would assume is in production.

DLC up for pre-order

Forbidden West is available on PS+ Extra in case anyone did not know.

3 Days to go for burning Shores

Getting his tomorrow... Can't afford the time it needs right now.. I did squeeze some playtime today... it's playoff time lol

Finally playing Burning Shores. Hard to get back into these without restarting but no way am I redoing 80 hours! Few hours in or so and it's coming back.

So far I'm not overly compelled to pickup any of the new vendor weapons nor armor. Been using that new material currency for weaves and coils so far.

Also, Holy crap. How did I put 80 hours in prior and not realize you can modify your quick item list (left and right on D pad), I feel dumb.

I still haven't gotten around to the DLC. I expected to buy it day one because I've enjoyed the rest of the series so much (my favorite new IP of last-gen, maybe tied with Dying Light). I'll get around to it eventually.

I hope we get some Dying Light 2 dlc. The second game just wasn't as good as the first one I felt.

I haven't even started Dying Light 2 yet. I beat the first one a few times over and enjoyed it each time, but I did it all in co-op. I'm waiting for one of my friends to get it at some point so I can beat the sequel in co-op too.

Ugh, no...

Horizon MMORPG "is now essentially confirmed to be in development", job listing suggests

https://www.eurogamer.net/horizon-mmorpg-is-now-es...

Is that an ugh no it’s gonna suck or an ugh no there goes my life?

I tend to avoid anything MMO anymore because of the latter.

Horizon is an amazing game, and I can see how it would make for a killer MMO, but it'll cause me and others like me, to skip it all together because of the investment.

I enjoy both Horizon games for their story telling and campaign, but to play it in a never ending universe? ugh

Imagine a giant robo raid. If it had similar fast twitch improvisation based gameplay it would be so much fun.

I would give this a shot, but yeah the time investment... I am not going to go back to my WoW ways. I hope this does not impact the mainline series. I can see maybe this picking up after the 3rd game comes out... maybe set X amount of years before the 1st game.

It’s looking like there’s a bad moon on the rise- gonna be some epic alien repelling in the near future.
