If you're nearing the end of Episode 3 then you've already experienced it, gonna put the moment under a screenshot and spoiler tag to see if you recognise it. This really gave me "going to Mexico in RDR with Far Away playing in the background" vibes. Coming down the mountain to be faced with unknown territory with the mist in front of you and the Timefall farm off in the distance with this playing in the background was genuinely magical and is easily my favourite moment this gen. I felt what Sam was feeling in that moment. A mix of melancholy and loneliness, but also relief, knowing that after braving the wastes once again, we're finally close to our destination. We're finally "home".
But yeah, these are easily my favourite moments of the game. It really lets you kick back to take in the scenery and you know you won't be interrupted by MULEs or BTs (for long anyway).
Yeah that was my most recent one actually! That was a fantastic choice too. You're right that these are some of the best moments, especially knowing you wont be interrupted. There was actually one that oddly annoyed me a lot in episode 3 where the path you take as it plays pretty much pushes you through MULE. These moments are the highlights to me and I'd really rather be left alone by everything else in the game to just enjoy the moment.
There was also another moment in the episode where the optimal route would take you through BT's during a song so had to take a detour to enjoy it. Hopefully it's not something that will happen to often.
Chapter 3 spoilers
I feel like I'm about to leave this area, they want me back at the first city here, do we come back to this central region? I built a lot of road
If you're at where I think you're at, then you have another song coming up. This one was probably my second favourite simply because you don't run into any enemies. It's just you, your cargo, the land, and an awesome song.
Also the game seems to really be about avoiding BTs and MULEs all together. I've kind of made it a thing to just completely swerve out their path.
Yes, you can go back, but you ain't done with this place at all. Keep playing.
When people say wait til you get to Chapter 3 do they mean Episode 3? Because I cant see how it took reviewers "hours" to get to episode 3.
I've avoided a lot about this game and don't recall any obvious problems with the game, hence my post.
Text, sure, but that's a rather minor complaint in the grand scheme of things imo. I'm referring to whatever caused some to give the 3s and 5/10s I recall seeing, which I have to assume would come from far greater issues.
So, i've put in about 12h into the game. Its absolutely incredible. Its hard to describe exactly why its fun, but I know i'm addicted to this weird game.
I'm only in the beginning phases of Episode 3, but so far, the sequence/moment that cues up 'Asylum for the feeling' to finally play in-game might be one of my favorite moments of the generation. This game might be one of my favorite of the generation.

i think i'm just going to mainline the story at this point and just save the side missions for when i'm done and want something relaxing to play
Oh nice, I'll be looking forward to the next one then, plus I've been seeing a lot of mentions of episode 4 that are interesting to say the least.
I think I'm probably gonna start travelling around them more to be honest. I'm entirely sick of dealing with MULE, those guys seem designed to get on my nerves lol. Dont mind the BT's as much but I don't tend to slow down for them either as a lot of people seem to be doing. Found that you can more or less walk through and only crouch and hold breath briefly when they spot you. But again the soundtrack issue gives a good reason to just avoid them all together anyway
Like...3ish? Maybe I'm mistaken
Okay maybe I saw the title card for episode 2 and assumed it would move as quickly as the others. Nvm
I built like 5 stretches of road today. Took forever to build the resources. Nobody seems to be helping past the initial burst from the start of the area and I'm trying to get it all the way to South knot.
It's probably safe to say you aren't going to enjoy it much then. Episode 3 was definitely better than 2 in many ways but the game wasnt actively irritating me by 2 either.
This is a whole lot of game and exactly my thing, but then I really liked the way RDR2 felt, also
This bridge of mine is at 13k likes now lol. Currently sitting at 75k likes overall, getting closer to 100k 👀To be fair, it is an extremely useful bridge as it leads directly to a prepper
I'm in the same boat. I'm wondering if the game caps your support because it feels like with 100 people this should be long done. Instead I'm building almost the entire path.
So Junji Ito DID contribute to this game!
He appears as The Engineer in episode 3! That was a great surprise.
I was prepared to not like this game considering I give up on most open world games, even darlings of the genre like RDR2 and BOTW, but 15 hours in I'm absolutely loving it. All I want to do is keep playing. Then again, Horizon: Zero Dawn is my favorite open world game so maybe it's just that Decima magic.
Nope. Would be cool if we could retrieve vehicles from Safe Houses tho
They don't, they just slow 'em down. Also later on you get other more conventional weapons which can damage Gazers and Catchers (BTs).
That's dumb. These places are just too far apart, it could even cost a lot of materials but at least give the option for a pop up garage.
Lol, if you're annoyed now these later missions are absolute killers.
Oh what. I'm never showering or using the toilet again then. I'd rather just kill the things.
Well, you could still shower and use the toilet and donate the unneeded EX grenades to the shared locker for some easy likes ^
Made this post 16 mins ago and I'm at 80k likes now, whewThis bridge of mine is at 13k likes now lol. Currently sitting at 75k likes overall, getting closer to 100k 👀
Yeah, idk, I just feel like the game design is so hostile to the player, it's like nothing is easy or convenient. When people say the game doesn't respect your time, this is probably part of what they are talking about. I wish I knew why it feels that way to me but other people are able to enjoy it :/
It's in your private locker
By the way, a tip for anyone using an LG OLED with HDR and who wants a more life-like HDR image.
Firstly turn all your lights off so your room is pitch black, then in PS4 HDR test set up/settings, when it asks you to click brightness left or right until the image is almost invisible, for each page, click left or right only until the image first disappears completely, but not one click more. You don't want to be able to see even the slightest or faintest bit of the test image, even when squinting or really looking for it.
Then after clicking to when you cannot see any image but not one click more, do two clicks to the direction of visibility, instead of one. The first click will make the test image visible, but only incredibly vaguely, as in you'll have to really squint to see it. The second click will increase visibility but still leave things hardly visible.
You want the second visibility click for each of the 3 brightness test pages.
Do this, and you'll have what is in my opinion the optimal and most life-like contrast and brightness for HDR, at least with the games default HDR settings (50% luminosity in-game).
Doing the test with one click in the direction of visibility for each of the 3 test pages makes the in-game image a tad too bright or washed out, and three clicks makes things ever so slightly too crushed. Two clicks seems to be ideal.

This really seems like a love it or hate it kind of game, and you know which category you fall into within the first hour. If you can't get enjoy the gameplay right from the start, it's not going to "grow" on you over time. For me though, I'm loving every minute of it!
I now understand that one dude who compared this to breath of the wild, because that exact same switch hit for me. The stuff that's suppose to feel tedious to me just doesn't. The world is just so...isolated and cold but has a sense of calmness to it. It has me fully sucked in.
What a great ass video game so far 12 hours in.

Things are kind of reminding me of Tomorrow Children in a way. The weird, off melancholy, non-traditional exploration gameplay, the online cooperative building construction, and giant monsters coming out of nowhere. Wish that hadn't shut down.
