Horizon: Zero Dawn [PS4]

It looks OK on my OG PS4 but it's no Uncharted 4 or Lost Legacy.

I haven't played either of them. Looks like I should be prepared to be amazed even further then...

Im still surprised they never made Aloy look wringing once she is out of the water like Uncharted. Plus it takes a little bit to dry off for Drake.

Mario? Is the Switch worth buying? I tend to buy consoles for platform only games if they're good enough.

Definitely worth buying IMO for Zelda, Mario Odyssey and Mario kart plus whatever Nintendo exclusives come out in the next couple of years. I say that as someone who own a pc, PS4, xbone though so maybe I'm a bit of a geek

I never bought a Wii u as the selection in games on it always seemed too poor to justify buying the system.

tsk tsk! Get on it. I loved Uncharted 4 and I wasn't really looking forward to LL but it was actually really really good.

I loved the Tomb Raider reboots with the little details like Lara wringing her hair out after leaving water. Uncharted has lots of little cool details like that as well.

The water effects for me are by far the worst in the game. The rivers look like moving jelly, too viscous and the characters when wet look like mannequins.

I'm glad I took this on before going into Thunderdrum. That thing is crazy fast on Ultra Hard if you don't tie it down.

After finishing this game and starting to play Witcher 3 you realize how sterile and PC the characters are in Horizon.

Loved this game, may get the DLC. This thread has rekindled my love for it

Getting close to finishing HZD now. Around 85% complete, pretty sure i only have 1 or 2 main quests remaining. Is it worth getting the DLC? Is it good and does it add much content?

ChrisD. · 12 Feb 2018 at 14:23

Just started the DLC, enjoying it so far. The machines are much tougher.

It fills out some of the main story a bit but does not take it further, and as said some of the machine are nuts.

I wish there was an area with 3 Scorchers. Two can be quite close to your death as they both try to swipe you.

Where do you get corruption arrows from? I've cleared a few corruption zones and no machine has dropped any. Merchant's don't seem to sell them either

ic1male · 18 Feb 2018 at 17:12

You make the arrows using Metalburn which is dropped by corrupted machines. (IIRC.)

ChrisD. · 19 Feb 2018 at 12:29

I never had any decent results using corruption arrows, it seems that more than half of the time they had no effect on the machines I fired them against.

You need to fire several until the little green circle fills up. Then they will be working for you for a short time. The arrows work on blue machines (not the red corrupted ones) and humans.

I had tried to fire a few, maybe it wasn't enough. I'm guessing they don't work on demonic machines? As that's where I am at the minute. Fireclaws are hard work!

They're the purple ones in the DLC? No, they are immune also.
