So excited for this. The first one took me a long time to get through actually because despite really enjoying it in the end, I think the opening section feels pretty slow, the side missions were mostly underwhelming, and good god is Erend super boring to have to hang around. But the fun gameplay, Aloy, Sylens, the world, and the overall quite good main story really makes me enjoy it nonetheless. I have a lot of hopes this will be able to improve upon most of my issues with the first one, and hearing some reviewers say they've seen previews of NPC systems that are much more engaging to interact with makes me hopeful they've taken it onboard. Plus, they did a better job with it in the DLC, I thought. The only thing I haven't loved in the previews so far is Erend being back, because he really did bore me.
I'm trying to get my hands on a PS5 at the moment in hopes I can have one for when this comes out.
How was he criminally underused? More over, what is there to like about him? He's just a bland dude, without a story to tell. The big issue with HZD is the bland characters that aren't Aloy and her "mother" imo. A lot of them are tedious to talk to, with their early 00s RPG conversation stylings and Erend was the worst offended. Talking to him at the ritual nearly made me put down the game (I really like the first game but the pacing is horrendous).
Erend was criminally underused in Zero Dawn. Im worried he's going to die in this game.
I did recently, the extra terabyte of space is really nice to have, pretty much eliminates any actual problems with storage space.That's a lot of a lot of space. I might need to invest in some extra storage sooner than I expected.
Do you think you’ll get one with a solid state drive? Don’t know if they’ve gone down in price but they were pretty expensive last time I looked. Large regular hard drives are much better value now than they once were though.I might get another external hard drive solely for PS5 games just to avoid taking up too much space on the actual console. I already have one connected to it that's loaded up with PS4 games.
