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.

I went with HFW, I had planned on waiting and my wife's friend got it and it was enough to push me to get it. Going to start it this week, finishing up Spiderman but it seems like progression is slowing down the further I get into the story... Though it feels like I am near the end but it says I am 72% done the main story.

Was going to go with DL2, but I probably need to play DL1 first... So I am going to wait.

I want to play Elden Ring, I don't know. I want to play it but I have never tried a Rouge like game... I need to find one to cut my teeth on I suppose.

I thought it was.... Well then. I hers people refer to it as one and games like Dark Souls... Since I never played them... Well I am glad that's been corrected! Thanks.

When, making it to the Forbidden West? Just too much to do?

There's clearly going to be a ton of shinnies... But at least they're way more fun than traditional types of these games.

I'm still legit torn on whether or not to stay the course and switch to Elden Ring.

Yep. It was cool then I stepped through and got a tall neck. Boom. Overwhelming. And it’s just not very fun honestly. Combat is wonky- where’s the bad guy, charging a power attack into a locked enemy I can’t see. Yikes. I’m not giving up but definitely seeing the shortfalls here.

HFW is just too gosh darn big. I'm already over leveled for current main quest level recommendation ... And I'm not (yet) doing every side thing.

The game is absolutely fantastic though. Quite happy with it. Story is blowing up (post Gaia) and can't wait to see what's further West. New weapons are cool, but don't find myself using the gauntlet or boltcaster (yet).

Wish we could respecc skills, the trees are fantastic but I find myself regurally altering my play style, which keeps it fresh and fun, but want other skills!

Yeah it gets better every time I play it. Very impressed with the ranged combat.

I was hijacking the mega thread on all things Horizon. Rebranding this one for any chats around HFW.

Happy to see they have a patch rolling out to address quite a few issues. I've continued to get hit by bugs that require me to reload a game. That and the annoying lack of map updates when you complete a Firegleam (not all, but some).

Seems to be a pretty spot on 1 hour = 1% if you're doing everything. At 60/60. Have one legendary bow and a legendary armor so far. Hoping to get more legendary weapons as I don't want to blow upgrading materials on very rare gear. Still, the legendary upgrade requirements are a bit intense.

My OCD is so addicted to this game. Non stop stuff to do. While the fighting can be repetitive, it's fun if you make it fun.

Now that I learned valors can be upgraded, it's great switching between them for bigger battles and changing up the approach. Yet still, when lazy, traps just dominate.

The 1 to 1 is splitting a bit.

70 hours, 75% done. Finally met all the machines. Last couple are amazing. Thunderjaw no longer top dog.

Hahaha, I know that feeling good sir. "not gonna drink tonight"... Famous last words. It's just so easy to keep playing once you've had a, couple.

71 hours, 76%... Spent time tonight fully upgrading my armor and hunter bow. Still working on the sharpshot bow. The upgrades for Legendary gear are a bit ridiculous TBH, they definitely didn't scale this well.

Haha, all I want to do is keep playing. Had two old fashioneds and not ready to call it but... Alas, it's a school night, womp womp.

Nearing end of game. At 80%.

I'm angry at myself for getting caught up in the nonsense. I should finish and get to Elden Ring... Instead, I'm running around hunting crabs, catching fish, and shooting owls so I can finish all the pouch upgrades.

I will say this, as is any game like this (that I never follow my own advice), do more of the main story before chasing the shinnies. Clearly there's the known back tracking you see early on... But modes of transportation gets far better later in the story, that I could have been at 50 hours ago. Idiot.

It’s the pleasurable passing of time and happiness that matter. Give me a good time and I won’t regret it.
