Hey everyone!

I haven't been on the boards in agggeess but I've come to the conclusion that I really need to get out of the house more so I was wondering if there was any like minded people here in Canberra that felt the same?

I would gladly trade in every episode of Westworld for a full season of Almost Human

The switch has a brightness setting when undocked and all the TVs I've touched have brightness and contrast settings so I'm guessing they didn't think it was that big of a deal

I just bought a Corsair Harpoon and so far it's doing me really well! I haven't much experience with gaming mice though (I was using the good ol' Logitech MX which I've had for years now until it started playing up). There's no bells and whistles aside from being able to change the DPI on the fly to presets you can configure.

I saw someone somewhere relate this game to MGS5 and in a sense that's a pretty good comparison.

The story is there but audio/written logs can be found to flesh it out. Like Jeff, I really enjoyed the story, and tried to find everything I could which is not usually the case for me.

The upgrade mechanics, whether it be upgrading your bow or upgrading your character, are all there to make combat easier.

You can explore the open world and find neat things to see but there isn't really any reason to. The only randomised 'loot' that you'll get are modifiers that you can add to your weapons or armour, i.e. 30% increase to damage or increased stealth. I was disappointed at first by this but the world is just so wonderfully crafted that I often found myself wandering aimlessly and enjoying every second of it.

Minor spoilers here with regards to factions but in the last mission there is the idea of everyone banding together to fight a common enemy. This would depend on the side quests you may or may not have completed. I'm not actually sure though whether you have to complete them to move on because I ended up doing aaallllll the side content first and then main lining the story since I had nothing else left to do :P. In terms of side quests they're split into 'errands' and 'side quests'. The errands are smaller quests and occasionally you might find a couple where they're 'fetch' quests but the side quests are larger and often involve multiple characters.

If you're looking for an RPG then you should look elsewhere. If you're looking for a kick-ass action game with a cool story, novel mechanics and some RPG elements tacked on then you'd be hard pressed to find anything as original and fun to play as HZD.

@burncoat: When you look at the horizon you're typically looking at either dawn or dusk so it's essentially just describing the 'dawn' of a new age. Dawn: Zero Dawn would sound silly but :P

@mayu_zane: There's a log which says that something happened to the colony ships they built and Elisabet specifically says that Zero Dawn was now the last hope.

The vault solution is essentially how they housed the AIs and also the oft mentioned 'Elysium' that all the scientists would retire to. They had to sterilise themselves however as there wouldn't have been enough food to live long enough to reach the other side. You could make an argument here for why they didn't spend time storing food or finding ways to create it or something :P

I'm gonna defer to my main man Jidenna here.

Just be yourself and roll with whatever happens, it's not like you have to appease the angry internet people :)
