Shell Walkers. Love those. They are a tad nasty with those shields. Though I despise those Bellowbacks even more even in the natural world.

That's the one ! Couldn't think of the name

they use their fists for melee. It all happened so quickly haha.

I hate bellowbacks too. They seem to take forever to take down. I'm glad they can't cross rivers (unlike shell walkers lol :mad:

)

Last night I was like I'll kill a shell walker from the other side of a river. I'll be safe. How I was wrong

found the shell walkers OK - using those air blast thingy arrows stripped them down good. It was the strange ostrich things however took an age to kill... so fast.

Oh, and then that bunch of flying things that came along... used up all my health potions etc.

Those sound waves, damn! I ran into 2 corrupted ones. 3 Snapmaw's came over and I didn't realise as the ice freezing stuff was being launched at them. I was down in the gulley of the grass. I couldn't see them nor could they see me. It was like a holy crap moment when I saw 3 of them just over on the grass.

Longlegs. They look like cockerels?

ZG002 · 12 Mar 2017 at 10:10

Yeah, long legs. They are the only one so far I've not found a quick kill solution for. Pain in the backside lol.

V F · 12 Mar 2017 at 10:17

I hate the way you can be a fair distance from them then they jump practically right near you. Similar to those Bellowbacks.

biron_w · 12 Mar 2017 at 11:09

Only got 1 corruption zone left to do now.

Did one last night where I had to kill 2 Rock Crushers. What an absolute git that was! Died loads of times. I hate those things :mad:

Also saw some videos yesterday that showed how you can instantly kill Storm Birds and Thunderjaws :cool:

Kainz · 12 Mar 2017 at 12:43

Rockcrushers imo are the worst of all the mobs. Shooting their paw plating off apparently stops them from borrowing underground but I'll be damned if I can manage that as they always lift them just as I've let rip with 3x arrows. Even icing them doesn't seem to amplify damage like it should. No other mob annoys me more, come to think of it - sticky bombs whilst they're frozen isn't a bad idea and I've never tried that...

Missing the game terribly as my 100% run took me 81hrs in total. Tempted to start again just for the story...wish there was NG+.

I remember early on in the game I thought scrappers were a right nightmare to deal with.

Hearing a sawtooth in the distance still gives me a feeling of dread and they're one of he early game enemies

I haven't got very far yet so I'm sure there is worse to come !

Yeah, ravagers! They're sawtooth on steroids.

The stalkers are what often get me, right buggers!

Just finished this.

What a game great, I honestly couldn't put it down.

Been a while since I've enjoyed a game that much.

I presume there will be a sequel due to the success of it but it has some massive boots to fill.

Fascinating. The co-ordinates given in the game roughly equate to Colorado Springs. So where in real-world Earth is the city of Meridian built? Is it supposed to be near Las Vegas?

Digital X · 12 Mar 2017 at 15:23

http://9gag.com/gag/amYv4Lv Is this is?

Thanks! I hope they do a sequel or DLC which takes us to some other places like California or NYC.

oldestgregg · 12 Mar 2017 at 18:11

Great. Level 25 and some bloke wants me to go to a house with him,only when I get there the prompt isnt happening so its hard locked the main quest. Awesome. Seems its a problem thats known but has not been addressed in the last patch.

G-MAN2004 · 12 Mar 2017 at 18:34

Just took the plunge and ordered this. I keep hearing it's like W3 so looking forward to it.

Mobius 1 · 12 Mar 2017 at 18:49

Christ almighty. I just took on my first thunderjaw. :eek:

that was really tense !! That thing makes a sawtooth or snapmaw look like toys !!

wow. I cannot wait to see what they expand on with this game.

This is the new big franchise for Sony, i bet theres not only one sequal being made right now...

Only level 15 but enjoying it so far. I thought that using the bow all the time would become tedious but the enemies are so varied in how they attack and how you take them down it just hasnt been an issue for me. Spent a shedload on a fancy bow that can shoot fancy arrows lol...not sure if it was a waste but oh well.

I've been trying to craft all the carry pouches and quivers and it's really quite annoying. Every animal you kill will only drop 1 of 4 resources so trying to get the right one is a pain. I need something from a goose and have only seen 2 of them!
