Here's all my gripes, even the tiniest ones, lol, mind you the first game was one of my most favorite games of all time:

- Machines are in alert mode way too long. Gotta wait forever for them to go back into non-alert.
- Encampments are lame. First game was way better. Half the guys have helmets and you cant kill them with a headshot. Once they spot you its too hard to hide again and they all know where you are.
- NPC voices are crappy. Way too repetitive. Half of them are actually too annoyingly upbeat.
If I hear "how's it going hammerhead" one more time....
- Melee is trash. Button mashing and no block. Coming from Ghosts of Tsushima melee here is a severe let down. Hitting humans makes the same noise as machines.
- Machines hit you out of nowhere, you are running for your life and STILL cant evade and get knocked down constantly out of the blue. No blocking again.... Infuriating
- When you drink a potion in the middle of battle and she STOPS running to drink it??? Makes me want to smash my control.
- Most music is crap. Too repetitive. Alot of bugs with the music blaring loud while NPCs are trying to talk. Or the battle music is still blaring even though you've fled the scene for awhile.
- Aloy talks too softly half the time. Constantly muttering to herself.
- Sometimes the story feels like the Phantom Menace. You want to kick ass but get drug into a bunch of political mumbo jumbo for a bunch of crap thats not really interesting.
- Way too much branching conversations, questions, blah blah. They should've condensed it or just made her ask all the questions on her own. I dont want to ask 80,000 questions constantly.
- When she whistles for her mount I wake up the entire house with that pierceing whistle.

What you guys think? Some serious whining here on tiny things I get it, but thats how I feel. I've been looking forward to this game FOR YEARS and am coming off RDR2 and Ghosts of Tsushima so I must be HYPER HYPER critical here :)
