Topic: Horizon Forbidden West

@Voltan @colonelkilgore Having watched my wife play this recently I feel I should know for sure but I think how it worked was that while you could shoot specific parts off of some machines that only extended to things like weapons e.g. the cannons on the thunderjaw. If you wanted to harvest parts for crafting you had to kill the machine first in order to loot it.

@render right, that makes sense as I vividly remember taking some sort of heavy artillery off a Thunderjaw and then using it to dispatch the beastly-bot.

@colonelkilgore If you kill a machine outright, the rare and epic parts of it will be destroyed. You have to target specific parts of a machine that detach and can be looted separately to get the rare parts.

@ApostateMage cheers, yeah that does add a little extra depth in regards to projectile combat.

My copy is still in transit, but will be delivered at some point today.

Happy Horizon Day! Happy Aloy Day! Couldn't decide which one was better.

Hopefully nobody's copy gets delayed because of Storm Eunice. 🤞

Enjoy the game everyone, I'm just downloading now to play later on. Managed to get finished even earlier because of the snow.

Top marks for the presentation of the collector's edition love my TremorTusk statute. Can't wait to fire the game up!

@MightyDemon82 Post a pic of the machine!

@Voltan I'll do my best!

I did play at lunchtime and aargh it was difficult to put the controller down.

It seems apt that a storm is coming in the game considering what's going on outside.

Soooo I just learned that there's also a Clawstrider statue in Warsaw city center... Might have to go there tomorrow and grab a pic with it 👀

@Voltan dayum! Sony could’ve bought Acti-Blizz with the Forbidden West marketing budget alone!

Thanks to Voltan as I've never posted an image the 5 years I've been here!

@colonelkilgore Not sure if it's as big as the Sydney one but I guess I'll find out soon

@MightyDemon82 No way you are going to be able to play the game with that in the way. Looks good though 😄

@Voltan Expecting to see the pics of you on top of the Clawstrider 👍

@render yeeeeah not sure how big it is but that’s probably not gonna happen
And not because it’s too big for me, it’s the other way around

😺

@velio84 I actually think that Metacritic should remove the top and bottom 5 scores from each games various reviews (the outliers if you will… it would really weed out the edgy (or fanboyish) reviews and imho produce a ‘fairer’ overall score.

@RogerRoger ah, gutted for you Rog… you’d have filled 5 photo-albums by now 😉… but seriously, hope it ends up being delivered before too long.

@RogerRoger Oh man, that’s unlucky. Hope it gets to you tomorrow then!

@RogerRoger well if Death Stranding taught me anything, delivery men/women are a most robust sort… sure they’ll have it safely with you real soon.
