@Sinistkir13 Agree with most of what you said except the false idea that the bow is all you've got in Horizon. It's the first weapon you get, and it can be upgraded to be a power house, but it's far from all you've got to work with. There's rope casters, blast slings, the bolt caster or whatever it's called (basically a burst action machine gun) plus heavy machine guns here and there. It fits in with the lore in that they're primitive people using junk from dead robots to try and create some offense. I remember reviewers hating on the weapons at the time because 'a bow could never damage a robot', but the arrow heads are made from metal shards from dead robots, and the bow itself is made from the same. The problem with Horizon is the woke garbage they shoehorned in as well as making Aloy look uglier and uglier with each new release, because a slender, attractive female doesn't 'represent the general population'.
We play games to escape the general population. Imagine playing a Max Payne game but Max is 300lb and non binary. No thanks
C Coal Man Burning Shores felt empty because it was designed for you to navigate the map with the flying robot and/or the boat. There were a few good collectibles in locations only accessible by flying but they were few and far between. Definitely the worst installment of the series though.
I'll pick up Stellar Blade at some point. I also want to try Pacific Drive, which seems like something a bit different and well reviewed.
I've tried PC gaming recently but even playing something as simple as Doom 3 on Gamepass turned into 2 hours of trying to get it to even load (srs). I just can't be bothered renaming .exe files, downloading GPU drivers, googling what various graphics settings do (because the game doesn't explain it), browsing Reddit for 'fixes' for stuff which should just fkin work from the get go since it's on gamepass etc etc. You need to be a special kind of autist to exclusively game on PC tbh
What were you having trouble with? Why were you naming exe files? Srs if you are there you are doing something wrong. It shouldn't be any more involved than opening Xbox launcher and clicking install, then clicking launch. The only time I've ever opened the files of a game is to insert mods. Not sure how you would literally ever find yourself in that poisition.
I don't understand genuinely, doom is like a flagship "test my rig" game because of how insanely well it runs on a pc lol. There's preset graphic options.. Low.. Medium... High.. Ultra... You can pick one?
I have doom on gamepass and it's never been any type of hassle to just click play. And doom is one of the most incredibly optimized games of all time so unless you're on an old pc high or ultra should not be an issue at all
I'm not sure if you're being srs or just trolling cause it genuinely seems crazy that you were doing any of that to play doom
I mean even driver installation is just clicking express install and waiting for it to finish. That's literally it.
