The giant trex robot is some of the best shit I've seen in gaming ever holy crap.

I love admiring the incredible details after downing the large monsters just stunning

It's also now the part of one of two sets of dinosaurs I can hack lmao

 

[bombshell]

Are they online anywhere so I can read them at work?

It looks like they're all transcribed here: http://horizonzerodawn.wikia.com/wiki/Datapoints#Vantage_Points

That feeling when you desperately need a boar skin so you R3 and spot one WAAAAY off in the distance. You start sprinting and the boar sees you coming and takes off at a full sprint. You slide, but realize the gap is too great for an R1 strike so you enter concentration mode and snipe the boar with a precision arrow. Walk up casually...collect loot...including the desperately-needed-boar skin. Triumph.

Then you get blindsided by a fire bellowback you didn't see coming because you were too focused on that sweet boar skin.

Damn a Whirlpool. Could you not swim out to it?

Nope, that was as far as I could go. :/

 

[Thebeardofknowledge]

I just finished the "metal ring" mission and I haven't seen any side quest yet, is that normal ?

 

[oneHeero]

Nope, that was as far as I could go. :/

Can you raise the camera?
Can you throw something in it?

Scenery related, but potential story spoilers.

Spoiler

At the northern (eastern) most part of the map there is an ice lake, and on the mountain above that ice lake is a huge distorted metal structure, almost climbing over the entire mountain, is that part of the story?, or relevent?, or just window dressing?

I played Horizon a few hours when it came out, then switched over to Zelda (mainly since it's what all my friends were playing and I wanted to share in the zeitgeist) when it came out. I put like 80 hours into Zelda and finished all the meaningful content.

I finally got back to playing Horizon this morning. I find this game, right now, more impressive than Zelda -- Understanding, though, that most of Zelda's wonder and excitement were frontloaded in the first 10-15 hours and it increasingly fell apart after that. I'm probably a bit less than that into Horizon at this point, so we'll see how it holds up.

Damn. That would've​ been cool lol.

You should run into side quests during your journey, they are in towns you pass through on the way.

 

[danowat]

yes yes no

Ooooo!!!!

 

[MegaSackman]

haha no, tried everything. You can't do actions in the water other than swimming. As for Photomode I couldn't get any closer than that nor go higher.

Besides it was full of corrupted Snapmaws.

 

[Thornton Reed]

I have a really dumb question but I cant find any info on it. How do I use ammo packs I buy from merchants? When I bring up the Weapons wheel I see a number of packs of an ammo type that I own but no way to use or convert them to actual ammo. Am I just missing something? Sorry if asked before.

 

[Thornton Reed]

It looks a little like a spillway:

i think you open them in a separate menu in the inventory

 

[LiK]

Traps are fun.

 

[bombshell]

Traps are fun.

What is it killed by? Isn't it sticky bombs? I don't see any traps.

It just gets added to your ammo. No using required.

 

[danowat]

What's the thing with the crosshair icon on?

 

[GlamFM]

Does it start to feel like a burden?

That everybody now simply expects you do make the best gifs of the internet?

Outstanding work!

 

[Kuldar]

Yes it's a stkicky bomb, you can see it on the left side of the Ravager.

What's the thing with the crosshair icon on?

The Ravager weapon removed from his back.

 

[BumRush]

Amazing.

Also, I can't believe I still have a desert area to look forward to...

 

[DriftingSpirit]

I start feeling bad when they limp at you....

 

[bombshell]

What's the thing with the crosshair icon on?

It's a heavy weapon that Aloy can pick up and use, the Ravager for one has one that can be shot off.

 

[JJShadow]

Amazing.

Also, I can't believe I still have a desert area to look forward to...

I think is the most impressive and gorgeous area graphically speaking in the entire game, some of the landscapes are simply pure wizardry

Ahhh, that does make it look like the beast is walking over a trap!

 

[bombshell]

Nope, it's not explosive. It's also still there after the Ravager exploded. As said in the prior posts it died from the delayed explosion from the sticky bomb (sling ammo).

Yeah, I am not disputing that.

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

Glinthawks might have just replaced bats as the most annoying flying enemy in gaming so I want them to suffer

You've never played Morrowind then

 

[bombshell]

Yeah, I am not disputing that.

Oh, I see now what you meant!

 

[The_Kid]

The constant crafting of supplies after fights is getting a little annoyinf 10-15 hours in. Otherwise its a pretty decent game.

 

[mrklaw]

You have to read the logs. there is a very well written story in there.

one of the bigger oversights in the game IMO. Most other artifacts prompt you to press the touchpad to take a look, but vantage points don't. It plays audio and you assume you're done - like the audio logs. But there is a lot of text that give a ton of context - the stuff that is read out loud is almost secondary.

Because you aren't prompted to press the touchpad it is very easy to miss the text under each vantage collectible. Definitely something people should be aware of.

 

[MegaSackman]

The Aloy Show

Also, I could get up the mountain that's behind the Hunter Grounds in the desert (the one with the Tramplers and Glinthawks), you're not suppossed to get there but I could and there's a huge landscape up there, sadly the game resets if you stay for too long or give a step forward but the place is massive.

I can't find a fish to save my damn life

 

[danowat]

I can't find a fish to save my damn life

Have you tried looking in water?

Spoiler

There are lakes and rivers full of fish everywhere!

 

[B-B-Bomba!]

I start feeling bad when they limp at you....

IKR?

I'm like; chill, chill, c'mon, I won, pax ... Just, go about your day or something.

 

[bombshell]

I can't find a fish to save my damn life

I found them abundant in pretty much any lake (river?), just scoped them out with the Focus. The real problem was getting the bone that I actually needed...!

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[robo]

I can't find a fish to save my damn life

you'll find em,just not the one that drops the bone or the skin!!

 

[nelsonroyale]

The background is utterly superb...

 

[Always-honest]

You did go in there, right?

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Shietttt!

 

[shiba5]

I can't find a fish to save my damn life

Devil's Grief. Huge lake there.
