bob Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 I'm actually quite tempted by this. Might wait for it to be a bit cheaper though.
Nolan Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Jim Sterling also loved it. Not much original but everything done really well. He also said the first thing anyone should do is make the HUD settings dynamic.
killthenet Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 I was worried it might end up being too generic and that Aloy's constant narration would get annoying so its good to hear its been received well. I'll probably pick it up in a few months though, its coming out at the wrong time for me.
Sheikah Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 To be honest, I think I've had an awful lot of open world games recently so doubt I'll be picking this up. The comment about it being like Far Cry put me off, since Far Cry is the absolute worst checklist-crossing off style of open world game there is. Quite looking forward to starting on Dishonored 2.
Daft Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 These reviews have really hyped me up. My recent games have been Overwatch, Nioh and Final Fantasy so I am ready for a good open world game (Because FFXV was...positively archaic).
Shorty Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 I knew this game had promise when it was shown but to be honest, I didn't expect them to deliver. Looks great though. Definitely going to get it when I feel there's space in my gaming diary!
Blade Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Yeah I would have snapped this up if it wasn't for Zelda being released.
Dog-amoto Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 So what is the progression like in this game? Is it just a skill tree where you upgrade your stuff to make it more powerful, or is it more item based progression like Zelda and Metroid? Got to say, I much prefer the latter style, where you see things you can't get to but when you get a certain item, you can go backtracking for it. The main reason I preferred the Tomb Raider reboots to Uncharted.
Tales Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Super excited about this, despite not having seen any footage since last e3 and nothing else since the reveal I think. It's great to hear it recieves well with the critics. Might have it on Monday, so I have taken the week off from work for this.
Fierce_LiNk Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 I'm optimistic about this. I feel the same way about this as I did before I played Rise of the Tomb Raider in that I feel that both games will be great games without really changing anything or adding anything to the gaming landscape. I dunno, just the vibe I'm getting. It looks really beautiful and I like the look of the combat. Will wait until Easter or the summer until I get around to it.
Hero-of-Time Posted February 27, 2017 Author Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) Sony have done some really great advertisements for the game. Newcastle Liverpool Cardiff Birmingham Paris Rome Loving the Toon one, obviously. Edited February 27, 2017 by Hero-of-Time
Tales Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Game has arrived, I'll let you know if it's any good
Blade Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Sony have done some really great advertisements for the game. Newcastle Liverpool Cardiff Birmingham Paris Rome Loving the Toon one, obviously. Being a Cardiff uni grad the Cardiff one made me smile. I love chippy alley me. I retweeted Tom Phillips' comment on twitter as it made me . He tweeter the above images with the caption "Brexit Britain" haha!
Rummy Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 I've followed literally nothing on this game but it seems to be popping into a number of recent conversations - can anyone sum up why I want/need this game in my life? I'm under the impression it's getting good vibes, but I recall next to nothing about it and kinda feel like attempting to stay spoiler-free (if applicable).

I'm under the impression it's getting good vibes, but I recall next to nothing about it and kinda feel like attempting to stay spoiler-free (if applicable). Massive open world RPG set in the future where mankind has for some reason been sent back to a more primitive state and machines have now taken over the place. There's a deep combat system that kinda looks to have a Monster Hunter vibe to it. Target certain parts of the animal/machine to hinder it and when it's taken down you can grab items off of it to create new gear. The story is supposed to be top notch, with Colin Moriarty saying that it comes very close to the greatness that is the narrative in The Last of Us. It looks to be a lengthy game, with many clocking the story at around the 30-40 hour mark but having plenty more to do after the credits have rolled.
Hero-of-Time Posted February 27, 2017 Author Posted February 27, 2017 Simply Games shipped my copy this morning. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow.
Map Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Shopto have shipped mine as well, can't wait! Hopefully it arrives tomorrow as lots of spoilers out there.
Jimbob Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Shopto have shipped mine Also saw my first advert for the game on Fox. Can't wait now, hopefully it arrives tomorrow.
Fierce_LiNk Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Sony have done some really great advertisements for the game. Newcastle Liverpool Cardiff Birmingham Paris Rome Loving the Toon one, obviously. A very "The Last of Us" vibe to the scenery there. I love those adverts.

I'm under the impression it's getting good vibes, but I recall next to nothing about it and kinda feel like attempting to stay spoiler-free (if applicable). Doesn't do much new but what it does it accomplishes extremely well. Quick gist is that in the far future of robot wildlife society is no more and what's left of humanity is multiple tribes of sorts. Obviously you are from a tribe and from there adventure happens. It's open world with side quests and hunting/gathering type elements various gadgets and apparently an amount of strategy goes into taking down larger enemies. Various play styles and such all can be applied to it. Also it's bloody gorgeous looking. Edit....didn't realize the page of replies after yours. Oh well. Edited February 28, 2017 by Nolan
Shorty Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 You thought you'd escaped Amazon by going to GAME?? Simply Games or Shopto if you want your games on or before release.
Jimbob Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Shopto delivered early, my copy is installing and updating as I type
Hero-of-Time Posted February 28, 2017 Author Posted February 28, 2017 Put about an hour into it so far and I'm blown away by the graphics. Seriously, the game looks stunning. Dat opening sequence.
