What games are you playing currently?

[JD]

I did the main story, and all of the side quests and errands. I'm not sure if I got them all, but I got quite a few of the vantage points and collectibles. I'm not sure how many of the cauldrons I got. I'm might go back and try to get at least some more cauldrons before I finish up the main story.
@Trinity Gingerbread, have you played through The Frozen Wilds yet?
There is also a sequel, Forbidden West, coming out for the PS5 next year. It looks like the setting is changing to California, based on the presence of landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge in the trailer. The first game was set in Colorado, Utah, and parts of Arizona, and Montana.
I was just looking around on the Horizon Wiki, and it turns out a lot of the locations in the game, are taken from real world locations.

The versions I have on PC and console came with a digital artbook, if you own a PS4 you can download that. It will be listed in your library. That shows you some of the game locations side by side with present day locations. It's a great way to see how they used real world locales for the game.

Forbidden West looks awesome from the trailers but disappointed it won't come to PS4 as I have zero intention of buying a new console.

I'm hoping to get a PS5 if I'm able to save up the money in time. I can't miss new Ratchet & Clank, Spider-Man, and Horizon games.

I'm STOKED for PS5! I'm going to wait until I have mine before I play Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Far Cry 6. I'm also really thinking about trying Horizon Zero Dawn again or wait for the inevitable remaster on PS5.

 

[Captain pl1ngpl0ng]

i cant find any official information about VR(2) for ps5... did they skip the whole thing?

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

At least the PS5 got a better launch then the Xbox rival... Yeah that went well not.

 

[John Clark]

Stuck dosbox on, but that's been the extent for today. (I'm planning on some of my older games on 3.5inch disks once I've got that side sorted)

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

I'm stuck in Horizon....... I can't for the life of me craft corruption arrows. I'm pretty sure I have all the ingredients they're just not in my inventory.

 

[JD]

Do you need them at some point? I think I'm almost done with the main story, and I haven't used or made a single one.

No don't really need one just wanted to try them out before I commit myself to the final mission. My game progression is around 68% and I have all the allies waiting, even the guys from the Frozen Wilds are at the spire.

 

[TrekTee]

I'm a sucker for sandbox games, so GTA5 is still going strong. The only game that would top this is Godfather: Backhand edition for Wii. It's the only game I will play over and over again because it's that good. I would crank all the character traits to the absolute max and it turns into a fresh comedy.

I forgot they had a game completion screen, I might have to check mine out next time I play. I think I'm close to finishing up AC: Origin, so I'm trying to finish that up before I go back to Horizon, Ghostbuster, and LEGO: LOTR.

I started playing Saints Row: The Third Remastered earlier today.

What platform? It's gorgeous on ps4 but shitty on PC

 

[BigFoot]

I'm playing it on the PS4. I already played it on the PS3 a long time ago.

I have it on my ps4 and it looks great.

I installed "Tell Me Why" on steam today, made by the same people that made Life Is Strange. Looking forward to playing this.

For me, the problem was the inventory always being full, so maybe that's it? I really hope they've improved the inventory for the sequel, because the inventory was honestly terrible. Unless you made room in your inventory, you couldn't craft things because they shared the same room. By the middle of the game, it was always full even though I'd sold everything that wasn't used in crafting on the off-chance that I'd need something, and it was still full or too easily to fill even with a fully upgraded satchel. To me, that really defeats the purpose of crafting and, it curbed some of the exploration aspect for me. It felt like the whole system of resources worked differently than anticipated, where you'd expect crafting would end up replacing resources and making room, but it really hadn't.

Oh, while we're on the topic of Zero Dawn, has anybody really used the tripwires? I didn't find them all that useful beyond a few scenarios. Enemy movements were often too unpredictable to make them useful.

I've just started playing Exiled Kingdoms. It's rather crude looking, but there's quite a bit of depth in the worldbuilding and it's rather amazing given the one-man team behind it and the world is just so huge. This one's going to last me quite a long time, I think.

 

[JD]

Glad to know I'm not the only one who ran into that problem with the inventory.
I never used the tripwires or the traps, I pretty much stuck to the bows, slingshots, and individual weapons, like the Rattler and Tearblaster.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

I have only bothered to use the tripwire in that one quest where you fight the very first sawtooth.

After that I just couldn't be bothered to use them or the ropecaster.

Did anyone just avoid all the tutorials and hunting trials? I really couldn't be bothered with those?


All I want now is to get all the collectibles and do NG+ because I finished the main story and Frozen Wilds.

 

[Owain Taggart]

Yeah, I really struggled with it. It seemed to constantly be full no matter how much I dumped. This is one of those things where if you're collecting a lot of things, some things like ingredients or crafting materials should maybe be infinite or at least much larger. It was one of the weaker aspects of the game for me.

I never bothered with those, no. I felt that beyond the tutorials, it was just a way to artificially inflate the game's content. Once I tried a few and I knew it wasn't my kind of thing, I just avoided them entirely. It was disappointing because I really liked the sidequests and would have wanted more of those for the worldbuilding potential, because as it is, I felt despite the large world, it seemed that some parts were quite empty. At a certain point, I felt there wasn't quite enough sidequest content and felt the need to grind.
