Holy shit stop being so racist, just because she's black doesn't mean everyone looks like Whoopie Goldberg.

I mean have you seen whoopie recently?

She looks more like a Klingon despite never playing one when she was on TNG

Not that I noticed. Did see some video glitches in the opening titles though, audio has all seemed fine(just past the opening titles now) PS5 as well.

PS4 Pro, noticed the opening when she's climbing and there was no cliff so she was climbing invisible air and then it popped in when she got on ledge.

Love her hair. But I hate when it clips. Ffs you can have it crumple on the ground like real hair lmao
 
I watched the ending for shits and giggles. I thought it couldn't get any more dumb than robot dinosaurs you can kill with a fucking bow and arrow but it somehow does, like Zack Snyder MOS tier retarded.
 
The biggest issue I had with H:ZD was that the objectives were usually listed the other side of the map to where you were, with a whole load of walking inbetween and not much else worth doing. Artifical padding to make up for the lack of actual content.
 
Ps4 pro. Enjoying it so far tho that could change. Im delighted to announce that the load times are much better than they were in Zero Dawn.

Combat and skill trees is heavily overhauled, while you can put points into everything you only have a limited number of slots for SUPER SKILLS and you can't equip them all.

Climbing isn't a bunch of pre-scripted things, you can actually fuck up and fall to your death

Fights are going to be more intense everything has way more momentum, if you kill an enemy in mid air it's going to continue it's trajectory and still smash into shit. It feels like they cribbed some stuff from monster hunter in terms of enemy move sets and player movement. The Bristlebacks are exactly like the Bulfangos from Monster Hunter right down to being 90% boar head with legs.

They've given the player way more ways to traverse the world, the grappling hook is useful for tearing down walls and jumping. Your Mount is now by default a perma item and all inventory shit now goes to your stash which is a major QOL feature with the expanded space.

Quests are way more interesting and everything leads you to some new area. If you discover shit before you're given context for what it is, the quest dialogue will update appropriate and characters will recognize that you stumbled across something. Pretty much after you leave the tutorial area where you drop a shuttle on the group of giant snakes you have free reign.

One thing I liked so far is many of the lower tier skills from the first start unlocked so you don't have to waste points on all the stuff you did in the first game. I am really missing my multiple arrows though.

Had 2 glitches so far. I fell into the earth once and had to reload. Luckily it was after the quest I was doing was completed so all the enemies were dead.

The first annoying battle I had one enemy on a ridge I couldn't get to due to an invisible wall and he was always behind trees, I took out his mount at range but couldn't snipe him, ended up going out of bounds long enough for it to reset to an intermediate state so at least I didn't have to do it all again.

As with the first one there's still the "Hey, learn how to use stealth and cover to take out all these enemies." and then "Fuck you, here's a boss, no stealth or cover for you!"
 
So the game's being review bombed (5.8 last time I checked)

It probably is, I've yet to run into anything that egregious from a game design standpoint.

Even the Tallnecks are rather involved environmental puzzles compared to the originals. People were losing their shit over the Vanity Fair cover of Aloy or something.

People just need something to complain about. The main character being female and the game being a sony exclusive brings out the usual virgin faggots.

from what I see online there are bugs, the open world is empty (like the first), and a bunch of PS5 owners are pissed they have to choose between 'looks great but 30fps', or 'doesn't look as great and 60fps'.
The main character looks fucking terrible though

I think it depends on what she's wearing
HFW-Aloy-Close-Up-In-Desert.jpg

There's options in the settings to remove her head gear but the vast majority of the helms are not really all that elaborate like in other games. It's been hinted at that there might be new hairstyles added down the line and allow for greater customization.

They already have face paint and armor dye
 
The art and design in this has always looked really ugly to me. It feels clumsy and tasteless with a total lack of aesthetic appeal. Technically solid but lacking any charm and cohesion - by which I mean the landscape, characters and Zoids don't feel like they belong together.

Having a crusty as the main character was always a terrible idea.

Is Sony trying to make her the new face of PlayStation since Ellie is out of the picture? I don't remember the marketing for the first game being focused that much on her character.
Anyway, as long as she doesn't kill anybody with a golf club...

edit: She would have looked much better with Elisabet's hair imo

Still looks fucking terrible, like a design by Twitter committee and they decided to go for a character with an obvious disability like downs syndrome.

I mean is that surprising? These are the same devs from fuckin Killzone where the only good thing was that they shamelessly stole designs from Panzer Cop.
