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.

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

Agreed.
I have such a love hate for these open world shinny games but man, Horizon... Is just fun. Both BotW and Horizon just do it better than others by making it worth it to blow time doing all the various efforts. Last one I did this was with Ghosts... Which was cool and all, but felt too much like a chore, repetitive, and not enough payoff.
Truly excited to be done and move on to Elden Ring! This community will be done by then =(

Is anyone actually playing HFW?
79 hours, 88% complete, hope to be done this weekend. At this point, totally Op'd and just running around demolishing everything, even on very hard. A bit disappointed in the lack of Legendary gear, especially no spear. At this point, should only be story left as I've closed out every single side mission, task, exploration... Done! Primary armor and 3 weapons fully upgraded. May upgrade the others but I never use them. Two bows + sling is really all that is needed.
Mixing it up with different Valor perks is fun, but realistically, only the traps, melee, and power arrows are worth the effort (more so the latter). Stealth can be fun too to fudge with the big boys and never have them see you but at this point it's about just taking them down in a few seconds with a sharpshot explosion and a few follow ups.
I'm kinda surprised how many lengthy efforts yield no trophies. I never hunt trophies, but quite a few of these tasks, I'd assume trophies should have happened as they took nearly the whole game to complete.
Definitely an amazing game. Really excited to see how it ends. I'd be shocked if they don't leave it open for DLC and a sequel. They're gonna milk this as long as they can (and I hope they do).
Very much so ready to be done and get underway with Elden Ring, and then Dying Light.

Well.... Finished.... These butt-holes left it on such a cliffhanger that will clearly be covered in the DLC.
Absolutely loved the game. Handful of minor complaints, fair amount of technical bugs, all in all, incredibly happy. DLC can't come fast enough.
Onto Elden Ring finally!

Haha, well... In two weeks (15 days to be exact), I put in 82 hours and got plat on HFW, with a full time job, two kids, and a crazy home life.

Haha, not until I do the same thing with ER and DL2. Lots of late nights, early mornings, and some PTO.

I read they left a cliffhanger. Any reason you think it'll be resolved in DLC vs a third title? Review that mentioned it felt like it'll be a trilogy.

They absolutely could delay to the sequel, but given how they ended HFW ... It'd be tough story telling I think. If they don't address what's happening at the end of HFW in the DLC, and simply add some side story, it could work, just would feel off. More so from the sense of urgency of where things are at the end.
I think they will use the dlc to launch the third game into a very different setting, after addressing what happens at the end of HFW. If they don't, I fear it'll be too saturated and milked based on how much is covered in HFW.
We'll see!

I love the main story and I just did not want to deviate from it's path. I did some side questing but really some was accidental. I am LVL 37. I am 32% done the game, I am at the point where the game tells you that if you go past this point you can't go back, so I am assuming that's near the end. That also kind of blows my mind if true. I mean damn, the main Story is what roughly 25% of the game and the other is filler? It's good filler I mean the side quests are very well done and I am currently going back to finish most and clean up a bunch of stuff I have going on. I roughly have 40 hours of gameplay time and love every minute. I wish I had more time to play, I can't even blame my kid she is awesome and actually likes watching... has to be all the colors. But my Wife wanting to spend time with me... UGH...
ah it's all good. I am pretty grateful that she is doing this reading challenge, when she reads I play... works out. However, as it starts to warm up we will be doing more stuff outdoors, So I got to Hurry so I can start God of War.... Then I will bite the bullet and try Elden Ring, I have never tried the genre and I am tempted more then ever to give it a go.

Once I actually get to playing this, I'll only be doing the main story+ whatever side crap has Trophies. Open World games are awful with useless sidequests.

I would usually agreed and that's why I skip them most times... But the side quests here are largely pretty satisfying.

I sunk 82 hours doing EVERYTHING (minus Strike, kinda got boring). The side stuff in this game was worth it for the story. The rewards could have been better though. Surprised by the overall lack of gear.

Anybody here have or try this on a
?
HFW is the main reason I want a 5, but wanting and finding are 2 different things. Was curious if the bump down would just ruin the experience.

I think it would run fine on a pro. It's a beautiful game no matter what you play it on and it's definitely a good enough game that if you want to play it just play it. You could always play it again on the PS5.

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.
