Sony LTTP Horizon Zero Dawn

[SimpleG]

For the life of me I just cant get in to this game. I  got a few hours in but combat does nothing for me, each enemy encounter feels like a slog. Trying to brute force is a no go, setting up traps to kill 2 or 3 enemies is boring and seems like a more work then fun. Am I missing something here?

It gets better the further into it you get and the more weapons you get. The story actually really gets very interesting. 

[Biggie]

Never played it. Never wanted too. Never will.

Once you get past the prologue area it gets pretty cool.

 

As for the combat, try playing more stealthily. Scan weak spots on the enemies and knock them off from afar.

When you get upgraded start using the ropecaster and hack away and yeah there is more than setting traps or going brute force.

It doesn't get better. Nothing is wrong with you. It's just an overrated Sony exclusive.

The combat is actually one of the best parts of the game after you acquire a variety of weapons.  The first couple of hours are a little slow, and I definitely found myself underpowered. 

 

But later....   fighting a Thinderjaw for the first time was so exhilarating.

Stick to ranged combat because the melee combat is absolutely terrible.  Also, level up a bot forst before engaing more difficult  machines.

The more you get into the game and get used to the combat, the more amazing it feels. You're not trying to brute-force anybody in this game unless you knock off a weapon that you can then use against them, which few enemies allow you to do. The enemies are dangerous and intimidating. They have weak spots, they have ways to disable their strongest attacks. You unlock the ability to control almost any enemy you see by doing cauldrons. I'll see if I can find a few videos of stuff I did to help you out later.

Also work on making your pouches bigger. You're going to need that extra inventory space.

Btw simple, pm me your psn name so you can shareplay with me. I'd love to see how you're tackling the game.

I played the game through from beginning to end and I felt the combat never really evolved that much, and all of the big Thunderjaws and all that were easier to just go around. If you want to do the side hunts and stuff then sure, have at it. I found the story extremely interesting and it was the only reason I kept going because the combat got tedious and old really quick.

One thing's for sure, the game is vastly better than Killzone: Shadow Fall.

I have enjoyed it. The game is just starting to open up for me. I waited till I had a Pro. It looks beautiful.

Pro version of this game has negligible differences between the regular and pro so play away!

Sorry, I meant to say I had waited. I have been playing the game it looks great on my TV. The HDR is very nice.
