I just can't get over how perfectly they've got all the faces in this game, particularly during conversations. The first horizon was incredibly good at this. But this one makes the original look amateur by comparison. There's almost no uncanny valley in these interactions, I love it.

Got it on Friday. The game glitched during my first 20 minutes of playing, had to reset from the last auto save. Kind of annoying, might wait for a patch before I continue. Game sure is pretty tho.

Update: so far, this game is GORGEOUS. You can swim underwater now, and I have to say, it's among the best underwater graphics I've seen yet.

That being said, I already hit a glitch that doesn't allow you to proceed, but apparently it's already well known and fairly easy to work around. Still, kind of annoying.

Which mission is the glitch? I ended up staying awake a little longer so I could play. I got to
the point that Aloy was just heading to the forbidden west

You're already past it. It's when you
Inspect the machine full of arrows, only a few minutes into the start of the game

If it's the same glitch I had, I think that's the only one you have to worry about (so far anyway)

I came across few bugs, nothing big. Once, the enemy vanished under the ground, believe this was the biggest bug I have experienced so far.
Most bugs are lighting and pop-ins, environmental and characters.

As an artist, I really am interested in picking this up for the spectacle alone. It’s going to be hard to decide between picking this up and Elden Ring…

Oh no... What did they do? That was my baby in ZD. I just realized I never grabbed it from the dude.

Also who's a guy Savior gotta blow around here to finally get some tear arrows?

Ropecaster is way slower now. Has a bit of a delay when firing and a longer reload animation. Also, ropes don't attach to machine armor although I think better types can eventually pierce it?
Eitherway, it's nerfed though :(

Also, is it just me or is the game a bit harder than ZD?
Feels like the machines pack way more of a punch. They probably expect you to compensate with buffs and such this time around. All these new features, I keep forgetting they exist. Like the food buffs and valor surges, I have barely used them lmao

Oh my god, I don't remember the first game being this difficult. Sometimes I get killed in two hits. I definitely didn't scream at ZD nearly as often.

Any feature that uses food/potions/whatever for temporary stat buffs is something I never use. I always forget about it. Plus pounding a resistance potion or eating a stew in the middle of battle kinda breaks the rhythm.

UK opening week boxed sales:

* 2/3 of sales were on PS5 and 1/3 on PS4
* 35% down compared to Zero Dawn.
* Second biggest PS5 game launch.
* Second biggest release of the year, just behind Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

So lots of people paid more than they could've needed to.
