Needs an option to turn off Aloy's hints

[lilkillpappy]

What's the point of the game if Aloy is holding our hand through the entire thing? This is getting very annoying. Can we please get an option to turn this off? There's an option for everything else in the game, why not something obvious like this? I want to figure out how to solve my own puzzles, it's called a video game, this things you're supposed to play, or is that an old fashioned concept?

Sorry, the only option is too turn off ALL voice (which isn't ideal) or turn up your music really loud whenever it starts to feel like a puzzle is coming on. Sony likes to target the hand-holding market to the extreme.

Thank you. I have been doing this and it helps a lot. The puzzles actually feel like puzzles now. I just wish there was an option to turn off only her hints, or maybe delay them for like 10 minutes.

Try to deal with it because as for now it isen't a option to mute her.

they can hit a switch like everyone else... lol Aloy's hints are like bubble-wrapping your kid to go rollerskating.

Sure, they are annoying. I suspect that the game has been play tested to death and all her hints were made because many players got stuck at those areas. I noticed lots of ladders that can be detached to make short cuts during tricky platforming areas. Probably there for the same reason. Not ideal. But not everyone plays games like we do. We all can intuit a situation. Think outside the box. Many only know that arrow goes whosh and damage pops out in numbers.

I can intuit a situation and thats why I like the hints. I don't want to waste time playing where's waldo on a "puzzle" I know how the solution to, but am unable to find as its visually hidden or obscured.
also the ladders help because the platforming in this game is far from perfect, and will constantly glitch, causing aloy to fall short on jumps despite even the specific leaping animations kicking in. this usually only happens when jumping gaps--which is the worst jumps possible to fail

Do any of the explorer or guide options for the map and ingame markers influence her voice contributions? Not sure if anyone would have tested that specifically....

Just curious... what difficulty are you playing on? Idk if harder difficulties eliminate a lot of the stuff... I am playing on ultra hard so idk if the so called handholding youre talking about is removed.
