+1 (Gaming)

You've summed up very nicely exactly what's been bothering me with regards to the Destiny story and character (or lack thereof). The (mostly) silent protagonist is also problematic.

Back to HZD:

man, those screenshots are great! I find your choice of armor interesting. I spent the entire game in either the stealth armor (95% of the game) or the very customizable silks (unavoidable combats only). Just today, I got the shield weaver and was soooo disappointed that the actual outfit looks nothing like what you see before you get it. Still looks neat, but not nearly as neat as what I thought I was getting. I must say, I'm also really happy that I was able to get it without spoilers or a walkthru.

The game's plot unfolds beautifully and is just so well done. The second half (maybe more?) of the game, every mission has felt like "is this the last one? Oh wow there's more!" It's great. I want to just keep going and going and going with this game, and that real sense of a living, vibrant world is a big part of what's driving it.

One question: Can you complete the War Bow tutorial quests? I don't seem able to get credit for shooting ice arrows or shock arrows into their respective canisters, and I've tried everything. None of the other tutorials gave me any issues.

I'm so excited to play through again on the highest difficulty, which is a pretty rare feeling for me these days.

Anyone with a PS4 who hasn't picked this game up, 10/10 definitely playing again. GotY contender for sure.
