I think is my problem too. Trying to play Zelda BotW concurrently and that too has not grabbed me like I hoped. Ended up playing other games in the hope that I feel the love for HZD and ZBotW again

It's definitely open world fatigue in my case, I know the game is brilliant but I can't be arsed with the scope of it at the moment. Playing banjo tooie instead :fp: :lol:

I got to the first Tallneck last night and the subsequent trailing it and then running up the ruins in order to jump on it's back was brilliant. It was obvious that they'd set up the landscape and pathfinding so that was how it played out but it was almost like a QTE, it was that smooth. I've not felt that much in control of a character for ages.

The only thing about the game I didn't like was the weapon wheel only having 4 main slots. I get that with all the ammo types, there's not a lot of room for more, but when I'm rocking 3 different bows, all I'm left with is one space for traps and tools, so I didn't get to fully explore all of Aloy's skills. Ratchet and Clank sorted this by having tabs you could switch between in the wheel with L1/R1, surprised they missed that with this.

The combat really is strawberry floating brilliant, though. Targeting physical weak points, laying traps, exploiting elemental vulnerabilities, then later overriding machines to fight alongside you. It's dynamic and brutal. Constantly exciting. I even liked the sections vs humans as a change of pace while making you feel super powerful.

Had a good session on this earlier, just got to the second 'area' that's like a rocky desert with birds and giant buffalo type things. I've done the second cauldron so I can take over bigger things now, so I had the spider crab thingies fighting and also had a snapmaw fighting for me. Starting to get in to it now I think.

I'm the feeling the same way, it feels more a chore playing this rather than enjoyment. I've only just go to the Meridan city part and it just doesn't feel exciting and the characters are just not likeable.

Thinking about giving up with it

No, you're right as it was only a theme. My apologies.

Did you tick for the newsletter in your PSN settings? If you untick, it may explains why you didn't get the email.

+1 for not getting HZD plat email. Despite the fact I have given them permission to send me emails. Go figure. On the plus side, the theme and avatar designs aren't all that nice. So yeah, for me it's not a huge loss.

Yeah! Not sure if you're the same but early on I'd always forget to use my ropecaster but it's one of the best weapons you get, especially against those strawberry floating flying beasties. Have you taken on a Thunderjaw yet?

Speaking to my Mrs about this last night and telling her where I'd got to.

Her, "wow you're so early on in the game. I loved playing that, it's my favourite game ever, well maybe just behind fallout new Vegas" :wub: :wub: :wub:
