Yellow are main, orange are side missions like bounties etc. Sometimes you have to do side missions if noone is calling you.
Game feels a bit slow and tedious. Everything seems to take too long to do. Gunplay doesn't feel great. I like the graphics and the world seems cool and atmospheric. I'm just not sure I can stick holding square so much on everything for too long. I really want to like it but I feel there's a few QOL that really need implementing for me to get over the gripes.
Thanks guys. Really wish this game would explain simple stuff like this unless I somehow missed it.
Which is stupid given how many games have issues with menus on PS4.
Just failed one of those NERO stealth missions a few times and it gave me the option to skip it, is this new with patch 1.05?
After playing some more hours I know now where exactly I had this feeling with a game before. It's not perfect, specially when it comes to cutscenes, but there is still so much passion, atmosphere and AAA polish in it, weirdly mixed right between the unpolished things, which are not perfect but still incredibly charming.
This game reminds me a lot of Uncharted 1.
Far from perfect, in many parts even mediocre but if these developers get more chances and perhaps can step up their game with a second part like Uncharted 2 stepped up Naughty Dogs game, oh boy, then we have nice future before us and another great diamond in a rough Sony first party developer.

Getting hooked on the game, now. I really enjoy the side stuff and searching for the NERO sites. The trust stats are pretty cool, too, and makes deciding where to sell and where to send survivors more involved.
Yeah, it's hilarious. I only put it on and had two sound bugs, luckily about an hour later I read this thread and took the part back off.
Anyway, I'm actually loving this game. It's janky as all hell though, nowhere near Sony's usual standards, but I bet this gets loads of QOL and after support like Horizon did. I hope it does well, and Bend can improve.
That's a nice feature! Been in Rockstar games since LA Noire. More devs should implement it IMO.
Some of them are deep inside caves.
That fucking train! I've just visited there.
and yeah, as that posted just said - this is Bend's Uncharted, jank and all. Can't wait to see what they do next.
Yeah, there's clearly so much passion from the devs put into the game and it feels so sincere and genuine. I hope Sony gives them another chance.
There's one south of the first camp that I believe you need nitro on your bike to make the jump.
This is the type of stuff I don't think about lmao, thanks for this and to the person that posted about them being in caves.
Fuck, did a raider camp mission on a hill, only accessable with bridges and after I had 2/14 they started shooting and that attracted a f'n horde. They came around and basically overrun everything. The raider didn't cared about me while I was running at and past them and they started to fight the massive horde but died immediately.
I got surrounded pretty fast and died in the end but that was crazy.
Game did a nice fair checkpoint right at the camp, everyone alive again but I can start killing them again.

lol
It's near a Nero camp, isn't it?
This is far more ambitious than Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.
You don't need nitro, just need the first engine upgrade. I've cleared it and don't have nitro yet.
Bend's golden abyss was bend's uncharted anyway, literally.
I just love the vibe and atmosphere of the encampments in this. They feel like legit communities, and also feel properly scaled too, kind of Witcher 3's villages felt like the right size. A lot of life in them, people working, talking, doing things around camps. In Tucker's camp, encountered a random thing between NPCs, someone getting accosted by a guard and then Deacon talking to the guy after the guard walks away. No prompts, no question mark, just something happening in the camp
Okay so the Lost Lakes section is where all the story was hiding. Feels like they stretched the first 2 hours of story over about 10 hours, then it suddenly picks up.
Damn, many cutscenes aren't that good, but the one on the lake, after a stealth mission, was fantastic and intense.
I can't tell if his angry yelling retorts to Copeland's broadcasts are supposed to be funny or unhinged or both
Find one by searching cars or buy one to a merchant. Then open the wheel, choose the weapon and it's R1 I think
Whatever it is I love it. It would be believable in that situation.
Haha, the first time I heard that, my immediate thought was. How did the voice director approached this whole thing??
It's absolutely believable in this kind of situation but the visual /character cues so far haven't showed up to imply that. The game needs to acknowledge that eventually if not then it's just awful voice direction /script
I barely made it out of my first nest clearing mission after dying multiple times. Normal difficulty. It's difficult but fun
Yeah I get all of that now. I still stealth kill over the firearms.
Just started this. Looks and plays great, but theres things in the game that stand out as being a bit unfinished like the way blood looks on the floor and the animations in certain circumstances such as using melee weapons.
I've got so used to cutscenes transitioning into the game naturally that seeing a black screen after a cutscene is jarring.

Like when he suddenly starts shouting for no reason when you're trying to stealth. That's always a bit jarring, but amusing.
Haven't finished the game but I assume somethings not right with him.
He is much more composed in flash back scenes, so I assume it's intentional?
Also, all in all, outside of some lines being exposition heavy, the writing is fairly solid. I love that characters interupt each other.
One character pointed out in a cutscene that they haven't seen a single person of color. That sort of blunt acknowledgment was quite refreshing. I wonder how, if at all, that plays into the story.
