Horizon: Forbidden West

The climbing in this can be infuriating at times! lol Really weird why Aloy cannot grab onto a ledge or hop to the left or right when the X is right there

Indeed. Not being able to climb over a ledge when you’re at the top is frustrating as hell. Plus it’s never clear when she’ll automatically jump vs when you need to do it manually.

Yeah it's all abit of a lottery at times, Its so annoying when you are climbing to reach the top, cannot seemingly jump anywhere you end up doing the back jump in desperation and it just ends in disaster and fall all the way back to the bottom!

Funny. It reminds me of the same janky wall/ledge climbing that suffered in the Shadow of Mordor games. Sometimes I think it's intentional by game developers. An orc would start running away for you to then start gluing to places you don't want to while they escape, as you try to get off the walls.

The same when Aloy tries to escape machines. You use walls/cliffs as an escape while it takes forever to climb the damn things. As they start damaging you while you climb.
 
Completed! Loved it all in all, finished on Hard and was probably abit overpowered towards the end as the final boss was a cakewalk. Maxed out the Hunter, Survivor and Infiltration skill trees with some decent weapons, the sharpshot bow perk where you press R1 and kneel down, I was literally one shotting enemies!

Just have some side stuff like Cauldrons, Rebel camps and collectibles like drones and stuff to do :)
 
Are there any solid rumours on when this might make it to PC? I've played a decent amount on PS5, and although it's very similar to the first, one of the plot developments has me really interested. I am finding it a bit rough visually though. Great up close with the characters, but the image quality in 60 fps is far from great. Thinking about laying off it for a few months if a PC version might not be too far away.

Nothing has been specifically stated by the devs or Sony as far as I am aware. I can't see it being anytime soon though but truly no one knows.

I suspect a very very long wait, Sony has only just started making an effort with the PC as it is.

Thanks. Was hoping it would be quicker in future, at least temporarily due to their difficulty in satisfying demand for PS5s. Oh well.
 
I personally loved the game..
finished it and platinium it with around 50h on the clock..
now 75h and 99.08 game progression :D

I loved the first game and in my opinion they improved this one in every aspect.
 
Fully upgraded the Nora thunder armour. Foregfall next. Should be useful when the dlc drops. The Apex slaughterspine was interesting - fortunately you can usually hide out of range of them and take them down.

I am just going through the machine overrides but I have one at the end that is a ? And it says to discover the cauldron to override this machine but I have done all the cauldrons. At first I thought it was the rockbreaker but I have scanned them and it doesn’t look like there is an override for them in the game. Bit confused now.

That one is

from the final mission. I was missing the Grazer for the trophy
 
pretty sure I have the spectre prime and spectre as they are in my list. I have found a list of all the corrupted overrides and I have them all, there is just an Unknown Machine icon on the very right of the list that says cauldron unknown override locked, discover and complete cauldrons to reveal this machine and craft its override. In the main list of machines I think I have them all, there are some unknown variants but there are none that I don’t have. Checked the Grazer and I have that.

ah, apparently it’s the Sunwing and it’s bugged.

Yes, was going to say, it’s the one on the main quest, but before the end. An annoying bug.
 
last override is bugged .. people do think it should show
the sunwing

As for all machines scanned. I am missign Apex sentry scrounger same as most people. It only spawns in some of the cauldrons..

this guy give quite good summary.
 
All this time I was wondering what the shimmering issues was that folks were on about, as I played on my 4K tv (Sammy Q90).

Yesterday whilst exploring an empty bandit camp, I noticed shimmering everytime I panned the camera whilst looking at a thatched roof on a hut. It would stop once I stopped panning. After that I just couldn’t unsee shimmering everywhere and it was driving me nuts.

Hooked up the PS5 to my old 144hz 1080p Benq pc monitor and whilst I’ve got downgraded visuals, at least I can’t see that shimmering anymore.
 
Trying to get the plat and the melee challenges are so tedious, pressing all the combos and it still decides it's wrong input, maybe its just me! R1-R1-R1 'pause' R1, Hold R1, let go, ugh.
 
Well 20 hours in - I have only just done the Assembly mission and headed out into No Mans Land :)

Just like the first game I am finding the hunting camp missions a pita and cant get the hang of the "chess" game at all but otherwise , really enjoying it.
