God Of War: Ragnarok (Nov. 9th, 2022) (PS4/PS5) (Valhalla DLC out 12/12/2023)
- Thread starter Grand Conde
- Start date
I didn't get much in this weekend, pretty sure I'm still early in the game.
It's cool that they actually gave you a reason to hunt down the Ravens instead of just a trophy this time. Still probably not doing it.
Was only partially expecting to play as someone other than Kratos. His segment played a lot faster, and smoother, but a good portion of that was that the enemies weren't leveled, as they would be with Kratos, and didn't have any kind of damage mitigation. I can already sense there'll be more playable character/sidekick fukkery though. Them using "Companion" in menus and tip pop-ups that would previously just said "Atreus" was a dead giveaway to me. I'm expecting fukkery going forward.

My girl been playing too so the battle for the PS5 been serious 
Finally got to put some decent time in and its already been said many times ITT but man this game is beautiful
At the start, I kind of wished I replayed GOW before this because my timing was so off as were my tactics from not playing for years - but now that I've had some time to adjust I'm happy I didn't.
It really is an expansion of the original combat, but the flow of things is much different - and there's more nuance to when/how you use your moves especially on the harder difficulties. More variety in the enemy groups, you really need to pay attention to crowd control and you can tell they intend for you to move throughout the battlefield as you do since there's more interactive items out there to help (explosive pots, debris, trees).
I love mythology in general so I like seeing how they're twisting elements of the mythos and incorporating kratos/atreus into it so well. I get the complaints, but the story interests me so much that I'm always playing for longer than is meant.
Just touched down in
and yeah the pace of the story has picked up. I also like that there's more space to explore, and it's not all by boat this go round. But one thing I feel is we move fast af now, homie barely has time to get his stories off anymore

Enough white hoes to last me thru ATL
So @Gizmo_Duck we get the hammer in the first hour or nah 
Thats true, thats why Im not holding my breath on seeing Kratos fight Shango, Legba and Ogun (even though it would be epic) cause millions of people still believe in that pantheon, and even more people believe in the Hindu gods (both of those pantheons made it into the SMITE game though without controversy but GoW is a world wide phenomenon)
Coincidentally, alot of White pagans actually pray to Odin and Thor in modernity and they still made these games so who knows. I dont think Twitter Hoteps upset that an ashy Greek man is killing Osiris and Isis would stop them from making the next game in that setting.
But for the most part, the ancient Greek, Norse, and Egyptian religions are by and large pretty dead. Other mythologies not so much.

blathering blatherskite!
the spear is the game changer. I honestly didn’t think anything would top the FEEL of the axe for me, but the spear is honestly my number one weapon now. I didn’t even know you could make a fukking spear so fun in a video game. Might be the first time ever
Yes, and i think they've shown signs that Egyptian is their next target. (at least in the last game- not spoiling this one i didn't notice anything so far)
that said with the ones that still have large followings...
The problem isn't just seeing your gods flex their powers though or the combat, which is how they can show up in Smite.
In the God of War series the gods are often portrayed very unflatteringly flawed and personal way. Seeing Ogun go beast mode wouldn't offend anybody even if he lost, but seeing him portrayed as a serial killer and a drunkard like Thor might press some buttons.
First one I came across was whipping my ass so bad I thought I had stumbled upon it by mistake and wasn't supposed to fight so under leveledThese Hateful fights
.20 deaths later I killed that fiery c*nt
all i'll say is its a better follow up than horizon's 
this marvel esque writing turn they took is just.... lol i get making the game more accessible and marketable but goddamn

Yeah, your companions will ask you at several points during the game whether or not you want to continue the main guest or explore side quests for a while.
After a few days of reflection, this is one of the best games I ever played.

this one of the best written games I ever played especially character dialogue
