@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Don’t worry, I pulled out my OS chip without saving! It’s easy done and a clear oversight on their behalf, the game isn’t particularly brutal in that sense.
I saved before that one actually @Thrillho seeing as Jacka$$ did say it'd probably kill ya when giving it to you (I did pull the OS chip like @nessisonett did without realising it'd give a joke/bad end though)
But no today I actually got to the end of Route B and went through the Route C(?) stuff, getting to the part where I could play as A2. I activated her overdrive mode... didn't pay attention to the health drain part of that mechanic til too late, got blindsided by a machine and yeah... died. Was booted back to the main menu and didn't save it at all
Not too chuffed at that. 😅
Oh and the Romeo and Juilet stuff was pretty darn funny @Thrillho 😂

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy You’re making great progress! I’m excited to hear how you feel about the game as you get further into it. I read your early impressions and didn’t comment much because I was busy and I also trying to keep from spoiling anything for you. But I can guess that you like the game pretty well based on your progress. The game is definitely not without its frustrations though. Having to replay a large section due to lost progress should be old hat for a Souls veteran like you though 😜
Thanks @Th3solution... Dark Souls auto saves though and I've never lost more then ten-fifteen minutes of progress in Dark Souls if that!
Just when I thought the replaying I'd have to do in this game was over though... and seeing as I get that choice between A2 and 9S I'll have to do it a-bloody-gain it seems anyway! 😝
SOMA. I'm hoping this game sticks as it has a very creepy atmosphere so far, with very good dialogue and voice acting too. Most things are left up to your own to find out what to do next, mostly through dialogue and the environment. I only stopped playing because it good too sunny outside lol.
I've heard people describe it as an walking simulator but I think that is doing it a disservice. Although there has been no combat so far, it feels much more involved than say Gone Home, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, (which I hated)The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and What Remains of Edith Finch(which I really liked).
@KratosMD Yeah I thought you posted about it before and was gonna tag you, but couldn't remember if you had or not. That did put me off from trying it that someone described it as a walking simulator, as I've had a mixed history with those type of games. It reminds me more of Alien Isolation and the first part of Resi Evil 7 than those games.
I like how it makes you feel guilty about 'killing' the robots. Even though the couple I've met was only briefly, you do kinda get attached to them.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
I didn't expect NieR: Automata to honestly be as long as it was... So I'm now going for a few shorter experiences to cool off for the time being and just stuck on an arcade level halfway through the game (The first hell level in fact)
Good fun! Died a few times getting used to an FPS again as I haven't played one for well over a year now... especially such a hectic one.
... Might actually start a new campaign even...

Catherine full body, some of the puzzles are insane but still great fun. Think I'd have a breakdown if there wasn't any checkpoints, On day 7 so must be nearing the end and loving the story!
I'm enjoying The Frozen Wilds DLC for Horizon: Zero Dawn. Granted, it's not really all that different from what's offered by the main game, but since I enjoyed the main game, it's just more of a good thing. The robot polar bear is cool, I guess. Also, some decent new weapons.
Frenzied robots are less annoying to deal with than corrupted ones, imo.
@RogerRoger I forgot you were replaying that. Ultra hard mode?
I think The Frozen Wilds would definitely be a bit much if I had randomly tacked it on to my main playthrough, considering it feels a bit like a microcosm of the main game so far.
@Ralizah@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I picked up Frozen Wilds a while after completing the main game and couldn’t get into it at all. Mostly because the controls just felt so alien after so long away from the game and it’s a relatively high level area. I just ended up getting quite frustrated with it and haven’t been back to it since.
@Thrillho I had the exact same problem with The Witcher 3 when starting the DLC. You think after spending 300 odd hours in the game, something would had stuck. 😂

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy The plot seems to be building up to revelations about Sylens and his past, so it's definitely not totally disconnected from the main game. But the big bad and challenges faced in the DLC seem to be distinct from what's happening in the rest of HZD.
@Thrillho I had no problem at all, and I stopped playing this... mid last year, I think. My brain seems to be wired to re-adapt to games fairly quickly. When I got Twilight Princess HD, I played for five hours or so and then stopped for three years. Then I picked it back up and finished it with no issues.
It definitely took me an hour or so to get used to flow of combat again, but I was good after that.
@JohnnyShoulder Me too but I stuck it out. I think I said on here before but I completed the base game before they introduced enemy scaling so previously low level packs of wolves could be taken down easily but coming back to the game rusty to the controls, and with the enemy scaling, meant I was being ripped apart by these “easy” enemies.
I'm still going with Outer Worlds (just finishing the last mission on Monarch) and think it's been good fun so far. It can get a bit overwhelming with the amount of missions that can pile up on one of the main planets and lots of little annoyances are almost standard Fallout ones (e.g. overabundance of resources, combat being a little dull).
I know lots of people had issues with the game and I'm curious what people on here had against the game if they didn't enjoy it.
@Thrillho I really liked it but expected it to be a whole lot longer. Like you said, there’s a lot of side quests on each planet and I methodically went through them so I partly feel like if I’d dipped in and out of the main quest while I went, it would have been better. The way I did it, the main quest felt like about 20 minutes on each planet and then off to the final boss. The characters were great and I loved the companion missions so it was a solid high 7 for me.
@Thrillho Yeah I really enjoyed it. My only gripes were that it got a bit easy once your companions had levelled up a bit and at around the half way point in was getting slightly bored by the samey mission structure. Adding to what @nessisonett mentions above, I really like the freedom you were given to tackle the game how you wanted to.

I may trade in my older copy of Horizon and get the complete version. Especially if I can get the one with that nice slipcover that came out last year...
Plus it'll be nice to experience the DLC too. Just more Horizon is not a bad prospect at all, especially seeing as like you two I enjoyed it the game immensely 😁
