Stellaboz Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Got this for 25 off Gumtree yesterday. Not done the trial thingy yet at the start but it feels good fun and I liked the intro bit as a kid to introduce the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Have to say, Deathbringers don't merit the name. Absolute piece of piss to deal with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBloyal86 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Have to say, Deathbringers don't merit the name. Absolute piece of piss to deal with. Was thinking this myself! Dreaded going up against one but found it suprisingly easy. I'm trying my best not to do to many main missions an complete the game too soon. A friend of mine reckons this could end up being the start of a trilogy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

well fan for life Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 This evening I shanked Redmaw like the little bitch she turned out to be. Thunderjaws are a canter with Tearblast arrows on your side.I love this game. Haven't put this much time into a game in months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) I know it's a trope, but the whole chosen one thing seems really obvious in this game for some reason. That Redmaw quest especially. Light spoilers I guess if you haven't got that far... You're constantly told that there's a Thunderjaw that no-one has been able to kill. That every hunter they send after it dies. That it's walking around covered in arrows from people who tried. Just before you fight it, you watch the head hunter guy get bitch-slapped into a wall. But then you go and fight it, and to be honest it's not any harder than a normal Thunderjaw ( apart from the fact that you've only got one set of disc launchers to use against it). Maybe I'm thinking too much into it, but just seemed very glaring that they big up this thing so much and there isn't really a jump in challenge from any other "normal" fight. Plus the constant, constant trope of people staying alive just long enough for them to deliver a monologue before they die. Think there's been 3 or 4 so far. Still a great story though, looking forward to wrapping it up. Edited April 20, 2017 by forameus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute piece of piss to deal with. Ran into my first one of these last night at Maker's End. I meant to play til about 10:30 and get an early night but ran into Nil on the way to my mission, ended up slaughtering some bandits with him (I say "with him" - I took out every one of them whilst that c**t followed me round and blocked my aim occaisionaly), and didn't get the main mission completed til 1 am. I was shitting my pants at having to take it on but once I'd cleared out the Eclipse troops and Watchers, it was disspointingly easy. Finding new machines and learning the best ways to take them down is brilliant. The first time I saw a Behemoth I sat at a distance, picked at their components with tearblast arrows and laid fire traps for them to run through to get to me. It's hilarious making machines charge to their deaths like that. Absolutely love getting into the middle of a group of machines and just stealthily over-riding a Ravager as well. Hide in the long grass and watch the carnage ensue. Edited April 20, 2017 by Gordon EF 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamish's Passenger Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 To be fair, the first deathbringer is a piece of piss. The one at Graves Hoarde is trickier as nowhere to hide for any lengthy period of time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Yeah, first one's a piece of piss, you can just hide behind a wall and essentially get by unscathed. The second one is a lot tougher. Anywhere you can hide he just blows through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second one is a lot tougher. Anywhere you can hide he just blows through. Just dodge roll around and launch tearblast arrows at the machine guns. Then do the same for it's legs when it sits down.Genuinely didn't find that one particularly difficult either. Only time I died was my own fault for not hitting triangle in time when I went to rappel down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 When I said it was a lot tougher, it was because it wouldn't be hard to be tougher than hiding constantly behind a wall. I don't think I died too many times, just took a hell of a lot longer given all the dodging. But I too made the mistake of just launching myself off the platform, not realising there was a rappel point... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Got this on Friday to try and fill the Witcher 3 shaped hole in my heart. Quite enjoying it so far, not too far into it, only just a couple of quests past the Proving. I'm hoping there's more random encounters as I'm keen not to play through the main story too quickly but was wandering about for ages and didn't find anything other than going back into the ruins from the original mission when Aloy is a child. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you reach new settlements, green exclamation marks on your map will highlight where there are side missions. There are plenty to do, as well as corrupted areas, bandit camps, cauldrons, tall necks missions and collectables. These all start once you leave the Nora area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFAANW Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 This game is the absolute bollocks. That is all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I'm beginning to be of that opinion too. The story just gets better and better, and I think I'll be disappointed once it ends. Just a couple of missions to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Finished the main story. Absolutely outstanding. I'm now going to do my best to 100% this game because it's absolutely amazing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamish's Passenger Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I have held off doing the final mission until I clear everything else. I want the epic final battle to be the final curtain. I have loved every minute of this game. Oh and Aloy [emoji7] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Trying to do all the Hunters Lodge stuff now. Looting 4 Shell Walkers in 1:05 is bringing me pretty close to launching my PS4 out the fucking window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamish's Passenger Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Yeah I need to do a few of them also. That one in particular seems a tough ask but we shall see. I am level 50 now so hopefully it's relatively straight forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that they're difficult to fight, it's that if you're seen they pick the shell up and you're fucked for getting it done in time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
