Just finished it on apoc, that last fight was a bear at first! I'm sure I'll do a replay end of summer to find secrets etc. Afterglow was a tough act to follow and HR definitely hit some of the same highs. You understand the value of not stuffing every section with enemies, creating tense situations. I appreciate that some of the decision making wasn't "what do I spend junk on" but choice of supplies provided by others, rifle mods you can do for free depending on what you think you're going to run into, etc. I liked the bow! Once you get into a peek and pop rhythm it's effective and pleasing gunfeel, particularly against human targets. Always used the explosive against the bow mutants to replenish what I just shot off their drop. Fun that you can pick up fallen regular bolts too, for a good portion of the game I always had ammo for it. One negative to offset all that positivity--the raiders milling about speech (get around em, wuss wuss etc) while iconic is INSANELY LOUD AND REPETITIVE, especially when there's a large group active in a nearby room. By far my least favorite part about the series thus far.

yeah I definitely hid in the RV! The nice thing about the huge guys is they will infight each other so I think that is what got me through, only had to fight a couple beasties when I emerged--pipe bombs helped too. I did notice it was possible to be struck through the side of the RV, not even the window just the side panel, unless I was mistaken

I've noticed when I have the flashlight and hunter shotgun out, then switch to the sawed off the flashlight stays on took me way too long to figure out the hollowpoints were alt ammo for the pistol, I just thought I missed a whole gun pickup. I am dumb though funny how people keep talking if you leave the dialogue I had the same issue shottyman had with cordon earlier uppage, was not expecting to have to fight that boss/everyone right away spelling mistake--the young man who tells you to look at the sandy apartment building says "of to the south east" instead of "off" to the southeast

I thought this too then I eventually made it back up and out of that room after many jumps. But yes, could benefit from another mm or two

Checking this page every day finally paid off!!!! And I'm still unemployed so plenty of time to dive in hahahaha

Godspeed!

Can't wait. But I must. Big fan, recommend the series so far to anyone who'll listen. Registered to tell you that ha
