God Of War: Ragnarok (Nov. 9th, 2022) (PS4/PS5) (Valhalla DLC out 12/12/2023)

This game hits different so many jewels being dropped

I’ll be vague so I won’t spoil anything, the experience and growth so far from Kratos to his Son even one of the Dwarves is great writing and storytelling.

I’m not finished but if things keep going the way they are easy goty

Everybody's got a story. Secondary characters are given snippets here and there throughout to flesh them out as people with their own motivations and fears. Villains aren't some mustache-twirling, one-note people who you forget 10 seconds later. The architecture isn't wasted, there's a reason for the ruins, the statuary all has a purpose and reason for being there. Even animals and mythical creatures you encounter have lore behind them. And it's all woven seamlessly into the larger narrative. The depth to the entire thing is impressive.

A masterclass in storytelling being done here.

When you first pull up to that dwarven village

Oh shyt..!

The writing in this game is so fukking spectacular. It got me tearing up on these little side character story arcs

Spoiler: Forging something

Kratos letting Brok bless the spear after finding out he doesn’t have a soul

When did kratos become such a good guy?

Also…

Spoiler: The thing i got from brok

It’s weird that Kratos has never had a spear before considering that the main weapon Spartans use. This feels right

The gumbo Santa Monica Studio has cooked up here

 

[Nero Christ]

controls feel a little weird compared to 2018

can’t quick turn as good and sheathing between weapons is annoying

anyone change anything or you got used to it ?

I immediately changed back to the classic mapping...made an instant difference

 

[Methodical]

What was the updated for that just received?

 

[Methodical]

fukking the Hateful is a tough b*stard

 

[Easy-E]

Ayo...i just started and Thor really tol my guy Kratos that it's time to get a CDL

 

[Methodical]

I've noticed that favor performance run at 70hz-90hz and favor quality run at 120hz

Shouldn't that be the other way around?

I legit enjoy playing Atreus more than Kratos. His combat flows better.

Also it bums me how weak they made the blades of chaos mayne, them shyts were so much fun to use GOW 1 -3

I think the weak blades go to the theory of Kratos being washed. Old Man Logan status

I’m still able to get busy with them but it’s tough.

Ok I’m not too far into the game but yeah, I’m fully convinced.

Spoiler

Give me a full game with Atreus cause his gameplay>>Kratos.

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

These optional bosses are tough as hell

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Ok I’m not too far into the game but yeah, I’m fully convinced.

Spoiler

Give me a full game with Atreus cause his gameplay>>Kratos.

Spoiler

I could see them pivot that way for the next game and not have too many people upset. Atreus is fun but when you get kratos back you’re like

Spoiler: Spoilers on Atreus in Asgard
