Sounds like someone needs a safe space.

I have never played any of CoD games. But since the responses here and judgemental I'm not going to spend more of my time discussing here.
My opinion is just as important as yours. Your judgmental shit you can keep to yourself.
Geese are the birds that fly away when you get close to them. You can usually find a shit load of them perching in high spots. I would use the slingshot so you can kill multiple before they all fly off. Raccoons are rare to see, but I usually see at least one running around wherever I may find myself. If you're hunting for specific wildlife then get into the habit of using your Focus to search for and tag targets. That way you can find your prey easily before they would otherwise run off. I find Focus especially helpful for hunting fish.I fucking *hate* the Stormbirds and Rockbreakers. I'm like 52 hours in, level 47 or 48. Did all the Hunter's Lodge challenges and I'm just running around doing all the side quests and weapon tutorials. Still fun mostly but getting kinda old hunting for resources. Where the fuck are the raccoons and geese (need shit to max out the ammo pouches)? I see raccoons every so often but I don't think I've seen any geese or if I did I wasn't paying attention.
I actually have a harder time getting fish bones to drop than fish skins.I noticed geese are more often near water. So look around when you see the Snapjaws or areas where there are bodies of water or a flowing river. I also am kind of sick of the random drop nature of the hunting resource gathering. Nothing worse than wasting an hour of time hunting an area for like Turkey Skin only to shoot like 20 of them and only return one when I needed 3 in total. Even worse IMHO is the fish skin. I still need a couple but it doesn't drop often and there aren't places that have a lot of them.
So some questions I have...
1) Best armor
2) Best weapon set
3) Do you buy maps from vendors
4) Which stuff you buy from vendors typically
5) Best resource farming areas (I need some rare items to upgrade my quivers etc.)
Let me know.
Game like dope.
Yeah I know the feeling. What is really messed up is if you die and it reloads it sets your down dpad option back to default position. I can't tell you the number of times I was cursing at the screen cause when I died and it reloaded, I start the fight assuming things were set as they were before I started the fight, but I go to heal and instead whistle because I was expecting it to be in the state I had been in before I died or even started the battle. Still even with that quirk I loved the game.Oh, and the health potions; great, let me carry 6 different potions, 10 each, then let me fumble through them with the D-pad while I'm trying to run from a 10-ton behemoth version of The Flash. Unless I'm looking in the wrong place, you can't go into the menu (stop the game action) and use potions, I guess they expect you to operate the left thumb stick and the D-pad simultaneously.

It looks like you're way off track in the first screenshot. Can you show us your map?Can someone help me on what to do? Seems so simple, yet can't figure it out. Just starting the game, get to a checkpoint and nothing happens. Another checkpoint does not come up, I think I am supposed to find Rost.
You can see I am only a few feet away, but nothing happens. I am on the right and only quest I can do. The other I can pick is in an area I cannot get to yet. I am supposed to prove myself fighting some beast, but can't get there. Help?
I Platinumed it Sunday morning on Hard. It took about 70 hours or so. Kinda funny when you first see a Thunderjaw it's all "NOPE, NOPE, NOPE" but once you learn the trick they aren't too bad. Still hate the fucking Rockbreakers and Stormbirds though.
Finished the game in just under 51 hours, did most quests except for the training and hunting quests and probably a few others including skipping some corrupted areas, I did complete all main and side quests (I think), cauldrons, and Tallnecks. As someone that isn't looking for much of a challenge, I really enjoyed the game after getting the power armor.
My Thunderjaw strategy wasto use those explodey-type (makes a bass-drop sound) arrows, start with two or three to the tail and then two each to the back-mounted guns, then knock off its side panels and attempt to hit its exposed weak spot; picking up its guns doesn't seem helpful because it'll stomp you by the time you start shooting.
The story was good, but I felt that it was too short, maybe that's a good indicator that it didn't have BS filler and I enjoyed it and look forward to more. If they were to release any DLC that expanded on the story, I'd probably buy it.
All vendors have a re-buy option. You only need to remember which vendor you sold it to (I think).
There are more skill points available than you need to get every skill, so those remaining 3 shouldnt be an issue even if you dont want to do Hunters lodge stuff.Spent another 2 hours in this beautiful game doing sides. Picked up all Banuk figurines, did all bandit camps and closed out all corruption zones for some achievements. Also hit level 50. Now wondering if I want to bother myself doing all the vantages, metal flowers and vessels. Also I am at a loss as to how to get the remaining 3 skill points since I only know of 1 way to get 1 of the 3 skill points which is for hunter's lodge crap.
Game is still dope. I still have issues with certain animals gang banging me.
started the game yesterday, i really like it!
I thought the performance was bad but i checked digitalfoundry and they say its at a near constant 30, but it still looks/feels like a mess, im guessing because of excessive bluring (like uncharted 4). is there a way to turn blur off?
edit: Might have been my TV this whole time. turned on Game Mode and it seems a lot less blurry? (unless placebo)
also just saw the new expansion. still really enjoying the game, so im looking forward to it!
Same experience on my PS4 Pro and KU6500. Was testing the TV with the various default settings, but as soon as I enabled Game Mode and calibrated the other settings all the jankiness went away. Getting a smooth 30 FPS with Favor Resolution and HDR enabled in the game.I just started this game over the weekend and haven't noticed any performance issues whatsoever on my Pro at 4K. 30 FPS here feels solid with no dropped frames or frame pacing issues that I can perceive. So I'd have to say it's your TV/display if you're having issues. I use "Game Mode" on my Samsung KU7500 too though. Digital Foundry said performance between the base PS4 and Pro are pretty much identical though.
I'm not sure if this a Pro only feature, but I did see an option in the display settings to "Favor Performance" or "Resolution" and I couldn't find a comparison between those modes on Digital Foundries channel (which was surprising considering they've been covering the Pro pretty well otherwise). I've left mine on "resolution" and still haven't ran into any noticeable performance hiccups.
FYI this game is for sale at 35% ($40) off in the PSN store right now for the next week or so, I think. I had a 20% off code too from when I got my Pro and used it to get the game for $30%.. can't beat that for right now it seems but this is an easy buy at full price too though.
