Yeah I skipped almost all of the open world busiwork BS in this one. I did main quests, side quests that seemed interesting or offered a good reward, and the tall necks. I like how they did tall necks in this. Each one almost completely different from the others. Didn't really feel like climbing towers at all.

Yeah, absolutely, the tallneck activity was done really well.
Same with cauldrons....each one seemed a bit different.

Finished it finally...It's a very well made game....but the story for this title....is so much less than the first game.

I would be probably more happy if the just continued what the first game was about..finding out how the world is...how this characters interact with the "old" ones and just explore ruins and shit.

Nope....it has be the story we got...which makes no ****ing sense. And....for some reason, Aloy bows is more powerful than anything in the universe.....

I do prefer the fact that it continues after the main story ends rather than puts you back to just prior to the final battle.

I don't like that it then stops you from going to the area where the Zenith base is.

I also don't like that everyone just fūcks off from your base after the story ends like "let's just leave Aloy and Sylens to prepare for this new world ending threat that's coming.

I also don't like that you can no longer interact with GAIA as she's in a permanent state of reinitialising after the story.

Anyway. Still grinding out the max upgrades. Done 1 armour set and 3 weapons and all pouches.

Guess I'm also gonna have to do the strike matches so I can max out the skill tree as I need the points.

Also got the last race to do to get the last legendary weapon.

The easiest solution would be how Sony does it with their Sony Direct. They send some people emails and those people are able to go and buy PS5's the next day in the direct, and any extra PS5's are sold to people who have to get into a digitial line, and are chosen at random.

It's the only fair way to do it really.

The problem is definitely with retailers. Most do nothing to discourage scalping bots from buying their entire stock in a matter of seconds. If Microsoft and Sony just sold their entire inventory themselves, using the methods that Sony uses for their directs, then that would make things a lot better. Scalpers would still get some but they'd have no advantage over anyone else.

That's how I got my PS5.

I got mine from Amazon hahaha. I got super lucky.

And I got my Series X from Walmart online.

I didn't even bother with legendary weapons or armour....took too much time and way too much grinding.

You should have played the lottery that day too.

Sony's new PSPlus just got confirmed/announced:

https://blog.playstation.com/2022/03/29/all-new-playstation-plus-launches-in-june-with-700-games-and-more-value-than-ever/

It's their gamepass equivalent. TBH it doesn't sound bad on paper, but the lack of PS3 downloading bothers me. The app before did not work well either on my pc or my ps4, and we have really, really good internet here. So I hope they improved that side of it.

Meh, it's not as good Game Pass.

In Canada, the highest is 22 bucks a month (I'm assuming pricing is US...and there doesn't seem to be Canadian price)....

And it doesn't come with 1st party/3rd party exclusives first day launches....

Yeah, agreed. They have a lot of catching up to do.

It will be interesting to see if 3rd party publishers allow some of their games to be launch day on the subscription service.

One of the many benefits of Game Pass is a fair number of title are 1st day launch as well as MS own first party titles.

I'm just glad they finally bundled it into one damn service.

Having to do PS Plus AND PS Now was silly. It's better to just have it as a tiered system under one name.

And I agree. The lack of downloading for PS3 sucks. PSNow was pretty solid for the games you could actually download, but the pure streaming was a bit iffy. It was particularly noticeable for action-oriented games. Geforce Now and Stadia (and I hear Luna too) were far better for pure streaming.

I assume it's because PS3 don't work well with PS4/PS5....but MS created a emulator to run 360 games on Xbox One.....I have to assume Sony can do the same thing.

But it could be the case MS was able to do it because they are the largest software companies out there....

My boycott continues justified.

Finally got hold of a PS5. Currently plugging through Far Cry 6. A bit grindy and repetitive tbh.

I know Microsoft wasn't the... brightest during early Xbox One, but the fact they turned down a Spider-Man deal... Wow. They basically handed Sony an exclusive.

That'll teach ya wanting to save up. Jim Ryan, the unsung hero everybody.

Spoiler:

It's like the opposite of what MS did. When Game Pass Ultimate was created, if you had Game Pass and Gold, you got Ultimate for a long time. I think I had Game Pass Ultimate for like 14 months or something like that for free.

I would say that changing the console wont help you out or make you a good gaming player. You could try online with gaming on casino platform on http://igamblermi.com where you will be learning new techniques about making career good in every way like earning money would be easy for you.
