Why oh why do all 3 come out next month. Massive games, each requiring a substantial time investment.

What's your order of priority? I'm torn... I keep debating #1/2 largely based on friends playing to be able to share stories with.

Still, this is tough. Horrible timing!

1. Horizon
2. Elden Ring
3. Dying Light

Also not looking forward to the credit card bill for all these collector editions, ugh.

Also I never did any Cauldrons until tonight... 3 of them plus a few small things bumped me 8% to 40%. Kinda shocked that they account for so much of the game.

I will be doing all the tall necks and Pouch Upgrades though, just no side quests unless they're trophy related.

There's a TON of stuff that I was amazed doesn't get trophies. I could care less about them but still. There's a ridiculous amount of story in the side quests though, worth doing in my opinion.

I don't remember any of these characters from the first game besides Lance Reddick.

The 'see-er' dude in HZD was great - he was the guy you gave machine 'blood' to and he drank it, was an annoying side task especially if you didn't find him early enough to avoid having to face more machines just for him, but his dialog was pretty good.

I am doing a bunch of trophy cleanup before I finish the game... But I am having a issue with 2 trophies ...

The kill all Acquisition types. I have it all, unless that means there sub category also. But the thing is every time I killed a variation the tracker just stayed at 94%.

The other trophy is Scan all the Machines. I got the one you can miss, so that's not the issue. I know there is also one that's the End Boss... But I am still missing two that I can't seem to find.

FFS I think it's the Sunwing I am missing for the acquisition machines... I have used them for mounts but never killed and I assumed they were transport. I will try this tonight.


It was a damn Grazzer.... That's what I was missing.

I'm not too crazy about this game, mostly I think cause of the story. The cool mystery was solved in 1, and this game is just like "hey, you didn't really save the world, but you gotta try again!"

I also dumped it to Story Mode just to do the story. I don't think I'll bother with the Trophies in the end.

You'll be disappointed at the end then raspberry

While the story does indeed not have the first ones mystery it's still pretty gripping. I had planned on doing most side missions and everything along the way but I had to stop. The main story just sucked me in. The story is IMO very well done. The side missions are also much better in this game then the last IMO. The side missions that are in the trophy list I highly recommend. There are a few side missions in San Fran that gives out good rewards.


When it comes to the Trophies, go for it. They are not hard IMO. There is only one missable. So scan everything. Do the arena and go through all difficulties, scan everything before you jump down and that should clean up anything you may have missed.... There will be one at the very end. Plus you have access to some new venders at the end.

The only thing in this game I hate is the damn strike missions, but I am not going to have it stop me from the plat.

Gotta say IMO your missing out, to each his own I suppose.



I am 85% done the trophies. I have two more before I can finish the main quest. Basically I have one flying quest left and I need to to do Two gauntlet missions. Finished Strike, glad that's over with!! I am 70% done in game. Once I finish the two trophies I plan on doing a few more side quests ... But I am getting pretty damn antsy to continue on with the game and finishing it.

I will be able to maybe finish the trophies tomorrow, rather the two I need, but my sister and brother in law are down and we will be finishing off most of the Kitchen Reno's. So the game will have to wait until maybe Sunday.

Twitter on fire over that HZD news. Personally if the tech is better and a game is last gen I see a justification for doing it. Lots of folks shut up when they saw TLoU part 1. Although I did platinum HFW on ps4 and it was fine. The ps5 controller with weapons / feedback is the only thing that I missed.

Now I’m seeing that HZD has been optimized for ps5 already? Not exactly sure what that means.

The HZD optimizations actually happened awhile ago. Basically a 60fps mode.

I’ll have to check it out. Says it performs about 2.5x better than ps4 pro. Loading times is thebig thing for me.
