I'm enjoying the core game of this now I've finally gotten dug in, but I'm finding the side quests a bit duff really. So far it's mostly just been "Go to point A, follow tracks to Point B"

Yeah, they're all pretty much like that. Their only real highlight is if there's a machine fight at the business end of 'em.

Also got the platinum on this today. Loved every second of the game - still haven't completed all the side quests/errands, so will probably dip in from time to time to complete everything fully.

I'd left myself with all the Hunting Grounds to do, so needed to get the few trophies linked to them to get the platinum. After the first few, I thought the game was going to frustrate me at the last, with the first few I attempted being pretty tricky to get the Blazing Sun on. However, everything seemed to click, plus having the Shield Weaver outfit helped a bit too!

Definitely recommend the game, roll on any DLC!

Just got to the quest Deep Secrets of the Earth. Holy gooseberry fool at the truth of Project Zero Dawn. Did not see that one coming. Absolutely loving uncovering the secrets of the game history.

Yeah you just wait until a bit further with the story. I would welcome a new piece of DLC content or a proper sequel too.

I can think a lot of things that they could have in the sequel.

I'm about 30 hours into this and have spent most of that time running around and picking fights with the various robots and exploring the world and reached level 40. The world and the robots are incredibly. So much detail in the animation and graphics. The voice acting and people are rather naff though and tend to skip through alot of the dialogue.

Just wondering if the Story pick up on this? Finding it a bit dry in terms of what's going on.
I've gotten to Meridian City and gotten the mission to help that captain bloke find his sister. But it's not grabbing me at all.

It does. Once you start finding stuff out about Dr. Elisabet Sobeck gooseberry fool will get interesting. I mean, it's a weird one because the story of the present is easily trumped by the revelations of the past. To get the most out of those revelations it helps to keep an eye out for and to track down the 2D cube shapes on your radar when you're exploring the disused places from yesteryear. (Read and listen to what they have to say!)


No idea why I'm using that spoiler tag :lol:

You're not only the one who disappointed and I was the same! :lol:

But, the ancient suit is very good though.

So does that mean you could send multiple images per e-mail?

So the best way to win would be to just send in the same (best) pictures every week?

Rules 6 and 7 are the only rules I can see which mentions types of entries allowed and there's nothing within them about not being allowed to send multiple entries per email or the same entries every week.

6. Each Entrant may submit multiple entries but will only be eligible to win one (1) Prize (as defined below) during the Competition Period.

Time to gather up all my screenshots then, I'm sure there's at least 1 good one in there.

Just going by the wording on the post I'd assume that 'screenshot(s)'

Finished this today.
Oh man, I desperately need a sequel to this, I need to know more about the plot!

At first when the credits started rolling I was wondering what the hell was going on with Gaia's final message, about what transmitted to Gaia Prime and turned Hades into a self-aware AI, but thankfully the post-credit scene was ahead of me on that one.

One theory I had on that was in regards to the Odyssey, the colony ship launched by another company before the fall of civilisation. Now I did find a text log indicating that the ship was destroyed by an Antimatter containment failure, but I'm wondering if that's definitely true. It could have been a mistake, could have been a false message transmitted to make sure nobody tried to follow.
Given that the message appeared to have been received by Gaia Prime in 3020 it can't have been the original machine swarms as not only were they all offline, there was never any indication that they had actually achieved any kind of sentience. It seemed to me that there was simply a glitch put out in a software update that then propagated through all the self-replicated machines which caused failures in their Friend and Foe systems, along with removing any restrictions on their Biomass conversion units.

The other theory I had was that it was something from Tom Faro. He already wiped the Apollo database and killed the Alphas, all from his own secret/private bunker. It doesn't seem unlikely that he either cracked Cryogenics and spent a thousand years in stasis, or alternatively uploaded his mind into a computer and turned himself into an AI that has been waiting for whatever reason for the last 1000 years, perhaps it simply took that long for whatever process he used to digitise his mind to complete.



God damn I need to know, this is like the original Mass Effect trilogy cliffhangers all over again.

Yeah, also the ending showed the bigger machine which we could fight it in the sequel and it would be good if we could climb on it (then kill it inside or pull out the parts).

I can't wait for the sequel if it ever happens!
