EternallDarkness Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 As much as I want to go out and grab a copy, I'll likely be waiting on a price job since I'm currently broke besides I likely still have another 100 hours of Persona 5 to get through and I am determined to finally finish this game...third times the charm, right?

I just started downloading it and it says 5 hours! I won't be able to play this until tomorrow now. Reading some impressions in here has definitely lowered my hype level too. So I'm in no rush. Why did this game get such incredible reviews and all of you guys say it's just "ok". I guess I'll see tomorrow. I wasn't expecting amazing visuals because of the god damn PS4 fiasco. Its more than just ok. Game is incredible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also got better enemy variety and boss fights. Combat is tighter. But man, the adventure. And the Side quests!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Oh right I forgot about what I heard about the side quests that could be a big deal to win over some people thinking it’s too much the same.

I need to stay out of this thread because shit like this is going to make me grab this game. 2018 GoW was so damn good. Maybe I'll replay that and just pretend it's the new game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait unti you meet (name only, and one you probably won't even recognize anyway) Spoiler Angrboda Not a side quest, its part of the main, but oh my god, the chemistry is so good. Further mythological details about the character named above which could end up being spoilers, but aren't part of the game so far) Spoiler Angrboda is Loki's wife, and mother of some of his children in norse mythology.

Unless there's solely effusive praise, 11/10, best game ever then hype level has to drop even when "really good" is not the same as "okay"? Not sure where you're getting people saying the game is "okay" or how anyone can even put down the final word yet since no one here has beaten the game, everything is first impressions. Speaking for myself, I heaped plenty of praise on the game, as did others. It's like you live in a permanent state of hypebole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Took the day off today to have more time to play this. Woke up early, shaved my head and face and got ready, wrote a song, went with my dad to the store and bought way too much good food, bought and played some of this $5 indie 3d saturn inspired platformer called Lunstic on Switch cuz there was a resetera thread and didn’t want to forget it, got a whole bunch of weed, ate a sushi roll as an appetizer before having a huge rib eye steak nice and raw, watched the new fletch w my bff, and now playing Sonic on deck while watching Rick and Morty. Killer day but the one thing I didn’t do was play any God of War lol. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 GameStop Canada is bumping $2 game credits to $10 if trading towards this game. Most of the games are on gamepass, upgraded to PS5 for Spidey, and have been free thanks to the Epic Game store giveaways. Walked away with my PS5 copy for $34Cnd, but don’t think I will be able to play until tomorrow. Dog is acting nuts and even more so now that my mom is away for the night at my sisters. Can’t keep my eye off him, as everything he sees is eventually in his mouth. Plus I gotta drive my sister to work for 6 tomorrow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal-El814 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Wife out of town at a conference? We binge. About 20 hours in. Some quick hit vibes: Environments in terms of looks and engagement? Great Story and characters? Great Gameplay and progression? Varies from great to not interesting at al, more context in the spoilers below Pacing? Not good Spoiler context for the stuff I'm not in love with below. No huge plot beats or anything but some gameplay stuff that people would like to have kept secret will be included below. Spoiler Last warning... Spoiler Playing as Atreus is just fundamentally much less interesting than playing as Kratos. I've done a few segments with him now and even as he's unlocked new abilities and weapons it's just not the vibe I'm looking for in this game... at all. Which is a shame since I like Atreus as a character and a lot of interesting stuff happens when you control him. But... he's just not as fun to play as, full stop. And the pacing of this game is all over the map. Most of the time you get to play as Atreus something dramatic just happened with Kratos and that grinds to a complete stop for an Atreus segment. Here we go... gathering fruit and roots. Here we go... climbing a wall for a long time. Also in the first game almost all the time you could spend exploring was time where the game went out of its way to remind you that you had the time to do it. The best opportunity to explore came to me when I logged off yesterday and Kratos can either... Spoiler Go off and explore to do some side quests or... meet with the fates because Atreus is in Asgard? I know this is a more patient Kratos here, but that's being graded on a curve and there's just no fucking way he'd decide that now is a good time for a magical journey with friends. In any event, looking forward to playing more today, the game grabs you by the balls and is, for the most past, unlikely to loosen its grip. I have to say that they've done a really great job with Kratos in this game. I feel like it would have been easy to really fumble the ball after the events of GoW and lean too hard in a couple potential directions but he's really well characterized here for the most part. Still wild to me that this series has gone from "fuck women until they cum health orbs" to where it is now. What a pivot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 One thing that I think they do intentionally to keep this working on ps4 is stay very sparse with the npc’s. It kind of works for me with the strange dream like atmosphere these games have but it’s something that I hope to see in a current gen only sequel, wherever they take this next. I thought it would have been nice to see the dwarf village actually populated like a bustling city, and I think the story reason they give for why it isn’t is just so they don’t have to try to pull that off on the ps4’s cpu while keeping it’s usual fidelity.

I actually hope we him in an Egyptian setting. If he even survives this game (no spoilers, I don't actually know anything). Im about 14 hours in, and it just keeps getting better. Spoiler Noe that Freyja and Kratos made up, im definitely hoping they hook up. Freyja IS the God of Sex and Fertility. Vanaheim story completion spoilers above.
