jrhodes Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 I bought Horizon Forbidden West yesterday and it's really not clicking with me. The controls feel clunky, which makes all the platforming and underwater swimming sections a pain. The detection when you're near a chest or lootable item is really hit or miss for me too. I keep having to walk right around items before I'm given the trigger to pick them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to the first boss (I think) and almost killed it my first run! I got to the second boss and beat it my first try! That was a butt clencher. But the third biome seems relentless. And there's 6 in total!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnar hendershow Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 They're apparently remaking/remastering Horizon Zero Dawn which I guess is spurred by expected interest in the game from the show as well as the continued trend of these big studios basically letting their teams learn the current gen through remastering a game. Which begs the question, how long do they think the lifespan of this generation of consoles will wind up being? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruki Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Returnal is REALLY hard. I'm starting to get frustrated. I had a great run going, I go to the third biome, bring in a co-op partner, and we get 2-3 areas in before we're dead. I'm thinking of tapping out and just reading what the story is.

Next day I manage to get to the boss twice. Slow and steady progress I suppose! Edit: my very next run, I beat it! Ha! Now I'm done Act 1 of the game. Edit: on that same run I made it to and defeated the 4th boss!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can live in hope that we do get a remaster. Been revisiting my time with the game over the last few day's and spending it on the hunt again. Still an enjoyable yet frustratingly difficult game to play. Often end up reading about item's and spending hour's looking at what stats do and tactics. The visuals to the game always haunt me and draw me back into the bleak setting. Always go away having learned something from the experience and then pour over knowledge of the lore and the World on websites or YouTube video's. It is quite satisfying going back to someone or something that killed you in these game's and knowing what you know better, or a lot more leveled up than you had been along with improving aspects of the character and you as a player. You get that accomplished feeling of not giving up. Most of the SoulsBorne type genre I have enjoyed on a personal level for the spiritual aspects of it, or the fantasy element's along with the lore behind it all. It has taught me patience and about life and death in way's I never thought a game could teach me. Mostly it has made me feel more relaxed when playing other game's.

Yeah I think with the overall permeation of everything-as-a-service there's been a lot of preparation (initially from Xbox with GamePass and now Sony is following suit) that the lifespan of console generations is going to be longer. There's also going to be the regular "upgrades" to existing consoles, as we've seen before. But maybe more within an individual generation.

Ruki Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 The Abyss is kicking my butt in Returnal, so I'm throwing in the towel. I could probably get it if I try and line up a perfect run after dozens of hours, but I don't think I'd enjoy that. I think I like rogue likes more in theory than in practice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of upgrades, I forget how it was found - maybe the same way people online have discovered the different existing versions of the PS5 that just use lighter materials - but there is supposedly an external disc drive coming out for the digital version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrandAvatar Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 I sense death in every direction on this game. Soulsborne game's are so fun, yet very hard. You get a little better and learn more each time. Enjoying little early moments of Mortal Shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobfoc Posted October 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 These premium controllers must appeal to a particularly small market. I don't imagine most people have any great interest in moving the buttons around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baddar Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Basically. Can customise it and mess with the sensitivity of the sticks etc. Plenty will purchase it, but it's not for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
