How much work does it take to lose aggro with them? Out of sight, out of mind?

I'm running stealth in this game so far. Not a huge fan of stealth games other than MGS. But this is rewarding so far one hit spearing mofos

Not exactly sure. I just run a bit and slide into cover. Works most times. Although it didn't work with that first boss you fight without spoiling anything.

If I have to fight I have been dodging then using my bow to hit weak spots with the time slowing zoom mechanic.

Stealth from above is the best!

Played for a couple of hours last night. Loved it! Got killed repeatedly, but I'm going back for more tonight.

Started the bombcast and just heard you can change how waypoints show up. I guess it defaults to like a breadcrumb trail or you can do it straight-line, which is probably what I'll switch it to. The marker was constantly shifting on me and throwing me off.

I think it tries to get you to follow the path.

Yeah. Destiny does it as well, but it was bothering me last night. Or maybe I wasn't aware that's what it was doing and that's what messed me up. I had two waypoints for that first quest and I was looking at them on the map. They were pretty much on the same line from where I was but the waypoint to find the merchant was taking me off to the right, completely out of the way.

The way point system helps when going vertical.

I can see that. It always bothered me like in Skyrim or tomb raider, when I couldn't figure out where the path is to go up a mountain.

You only see the compass on the screen.

When in combat or completing mission objectives the other stuff pops up.

Just makes the game look way better IMO. You really don't need your health bar etc up at all times.

Overall, the first hour and a half is solid.

I played 6 hours.
My impression is it is very good.
I don't like to give full opinions when I am still in the honeymoon phase but as of now I highly recommend you to buy. Don't worry about being let down, I think this game will be enjoyed by any type of gamer.

Story is much better than I expected too so far.
I will be signing out of this thread until I finish the game.
