Panthera 07/09/18 6:39:19 PM #4:	Alright then I guess I will dance for my audience of two. Well that was a longer and probably more plot relevant pre-title screen opening movie than I was expecting. What happened to the days of seeing the weird logos of companies involved in making the game, mashing buttons frantically to skip it already, and only then getting to the actual content? Come to think of it, this is probably better. Like, a lot better. Anyway I guess I will be playing as a girl named Aloy who presumably will stop being a baby at some point, she is cursed and raised by an outcast dude, and oh god I love snowy forest scenery in games. Random point of interest: For whatever reason, PS2-era graphics kind of got locked into my mind as "the best" for games. I don't mean they look better than modern stuff, of course, but I think because the PS2 was the first system I actually bought (well, I was 13 so I was just saving up allowance, and my parents chipped in half as a Christmas present, but still, spent months saving up for it!), it kind of settled into my mind as being the pinnacle of what games would look like. It felt like such a jump over the PSX/N64 era, and it probably doesn't help that I've mostly focused on handheld systems since then. For whatever reason this has led to the point where on the one hand, I don't care much about graphics because everything vaguely modern looks good to me, but on the other hand...everything vaguely modern look good to me! While I can still be bothered by bad art design (something like the Citadel in Mass Effect 3 is painful to look at in places due to the overly bright lighting), I tend to think everything looks good if designed well. This is kind of random, but hell, I literally haven't even started playing yet, what else do I have to talk about? Also...having advertising for DLC on the title screen is one hell of a mood killer. Good work, games industry! Anyway, guess I'll hit the always helpful "New Game" button and see where it goes. edit: This game has a "very hard" and a..."ultra hard" difficulty? That's a lot of types of hard. But they sound hard so I'll be normal. --- Meow! <cite>Panthera posted [p:904780890] in Any intere...
