    I'm about to finish this play through. Only two more main quests to go. I was getting tired of doing the side quests, jobs, arena challenges, etc., so decided it was time to see how the game ends. I'll go back and pick up some of the details in a second go 'round. There are many more collectibles and perq's than there were in HZD. It's a much bigger game in that respect.

    I have enjoyed the game play very much. I don't know how it ends -- good ending I hope. I've been depressed by the deplorably sad endings of the last few games I've played. And DON'T SPOIL IT for me.

    If not Surfin' USA then I Get Around, right?  Love the images for sure.

      Yep, and I thought of Surfin' Surfari later. I think I used it once in FNV at Baja Island with a Woody and boards.

      I don't know why, but "Skeet Surfin'" from the movie Top Secret just popped into my head.

    Lovely image.
    A little grit and darkness in games adds flavour when judiciously sprinkled over the top. When it's all you're force fed it's off-putting. I have more than enough grit, darkness, misery, pain, suffering, cruelty, injustice etc. right outside my door (metaphorically speaking) thank you very much. That's why I like my RPGs to be RPGs with an option for a happy ending if I work hard enough to achieve it. But that's just me.

      I play games like I watch movies -- to get away mentally. Like you say, just look out the window for plenty of grit, darkness, misery, pain, suffering, cruelty, injustice etc. I'd rather see smiling faces all around.

      Well yeah, 'cause it's 2 to 1. What a shame about California. What can I say? Well, I could -- but I'm sure you've heard it all before.

      Looks like you're gonna miss the bulk of Beryl. Still get plenty of rain I suspect.

      Thanks. The waves are done really well. Especially the rolling waves with white caps when Aloy has to swim out to an island.

      As you know, I'm older than most trees and I end up listening to the oldie oldies a lot, probably too often.

      *Nods* I always have fond memories of anything Beach Boys related in great part because the first time I ever overslept to an alarm clock was because of them. I was a kid and had one of those radio alarm clocks, and one morning it went off to a Beach Boys song playing on the radio. Instead of waking up, I started dancing to them in my dream. I remember the childish, exuberant dance and music clearly as if it was five minutes ago. I always associate, since then, Beach Boys to the most joyful dance I've ever had in my whole life. And it was in a dream. I might have been around ten years old.

      The game engines are getting really good with waves. I noticed it first in AC Odyssey. I'm not sure if that's Unreal Engine, but Horizon FW / Geurilla uses Decima. Thanks.

    At least you didn't pick "Wipe Out", would have been a bad omen for her surfing aspirations.   Terrific set of shots.

      Nope, but when I asked for popular surfing tunes -- that one was on the top of the list. Surfin' Surfari would have been good, too, I think. Then there were those instrumentals from the Ventures. Of course, where you came from you probably heard some from bands the rest of us never heard of.

      Thanks.

    Wow, dude, she's hot enough to ignite the local flora.

      Especially when Aloy is attacked by fire spewing machines.
