Good thing Kratos' wife wasn't black eh.

Would be an awkward way to refer to the son

ayyyyyy


but yeah i'm like 3 hours in i think, game is real fun though seems real SONYGAMEâ,,˘ to me. Having a good time, but it's not like a FUCKING LIFECHANGING ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE like i've seen thrown around out there, but also i think i've barely even gotten into the game at this point lol. just saw the world serpent for the first time lol

Yeah same I've barely gotten to play so far but it's not the amazing masterpiece right off the bat.

I assume the story is gonna be killer though

i never saw or heard anyone say LIFECHANGING ONCE IN A LIFETIME about this, pretty much that its a must play, and a great reinvention of the series, ie RE4 to RE1-3

i always frequent ResetERA where the SonyFanning over this game is kind of fucking insufferable lol, as much as I do like it so far. there were also a couple minority reviews that were like IT'S A REINVENTION OF GAMING; FULL-STOP EVERY GAMER MUST PLAY THIS that i also found goofy





also holy fuck could the fonts be any smaller, how did they think this was okay lol. even with that patch its still fucking tiny as shiiiiiiiit
Title: Re: god of war thread
Post by: TooB on April 24, 2018, 09:45:14 AM
fonts are too smal in almost every game now.

fucking stop that devs

I like to think of him as Beast from Beauty and the Beast in this game

He's a dick but trying to mellow

this is a good analogy

yeah i think YPR nails it. he's definitely still kind of a detached jackass but when push comes to shove he's like IM THE DADDY THATS MY BOY GET AWAY FROM HIM!!!!

i figure there's probably a character arc where he has actual feelings at some point


but maybe not idk lol


man i keep forgetting how the combat works every time i turn the game off lol i need like 10 minutes of getting used to it again everytime i sit down to play fak
Title: Re: god of war thread
Post by: TooB on April 25, 2018, 10:17:21 AM
he has feelings, you can tell. he just doesnt know how to express them properly cuz he spent 6 or so games yelling constantly

i thought it was like, a solid 8.5/10. it was good, but why was there like only 3 bosses (with variations) in the whole game lol come on man i wanna kick some god ass
Title: Re: god of war thread
Post by: YPrrrr on May 22, 2018, 07:02:43 AM
I'm doing all the side stuff I can find but tbh it's getting a little tedious. Also yeah I dunno why most of the bosses are the same troll or ancient it's kinda silly for a supposed 10/10 game.

Still like it so far tho

well, perhaps those that gave it a 10 didnt have a problem with the boss variety.

I agree though, and I hope that gets fixed in the inevitable sequel

Post by: Nyerp on August 22, 2018, 02:17:57 AM
ok i've finally caught up, having played 5 of the previous games, including the 2 psp entries which i'd never seen before and NOT including ascension which i remember watching someone else play when it came out and it being lame and skippable

lemme just say before i play this that they've got a LOT of fucking work to do if they want to give kratos a """redemption arc""" lmao

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QELIDxxipdA (NSFW) (this is what AAA game devs think gamersTM want to see - and they're right)

yeah, i don't think they're gonna be able to competently pull it off
Title: Re: god of war thread
Post by: Hiro on August 22, 2018, 03:01:55 AM
I haven't played it yet but I imagine they basically just act like it's a different version of kratos (though with the same overall history)
Title: Re: god of war thread

lmao i forgot about that scene thanks for the reminder

They do it fine.

Just play the game

Post by: C.Mongler on August 30, 2018, 05:21:28 AM
ill probably boot it up again sometime this week to play with my PRO and see if i notice any COOL ENHANCEMENTS  goodjob;
Title: Re: god of war thread
Post by: Nyerp on August 31, 2018, 02:33:59 AM
beat the game. that sequel hook tho

i hope that if god of war 2 5 9 comes out they ditch the armor crafting/upgrading bullshit because i couldn't give less of a fuck about flipping through menus trying desperately to increase my level to 7 in an action game

also please tone down the walk'n'talk segments and cinematic moments that feel like they're replacing gameplay (second stranger "fight")

otherwise, great game!
Title: Re: god of war thread
Post by: C.Mongler on August 31, 2018, 06:04:54 AM
yeah i didn't mind the armor/upgrade stuff, but it needed to be toned down a bit IMO. i eventually just kind of started to ignore it because it was overwhelming, but also just wasn't very intuitive menu-wise. like you had to go like 4 menus deep to change some shit, so i literally forgot some upgrades were there sometimes lol.

i hope the next one has some real ass boss fights tho. like for a god-hatin' game you fight a minuscule amount of gods lol. i wanted at least a couple more fights on the scale of the dragon one.


also this game looks hella dank running at 60 FPS on pro, i'm semi tempted to do a second run NG+ lmao

But guys you can fight 10 Valkyries who are barely different!
Title: Re: god of war thread
Post by: Nyerp on August 31, 2018, 10:40:21 AM
at least the valkyries are more fun to fight
Title: Re: god of war thread
Post by: C.Mongler on August 31, 2018, 10:42:16 AM
hopefully the inevitable DLC expansion will let you fight THE GUY YOU SEE AT THE END n shit (assuming that wasnt just hard sequel tease lol)
Title: Re: god of war thread
Post by: Nyerp on August 31, 2018, 10:44:36 AM
wow spoilers!

also yes that is def. a sequel tease, they wouldn't put something that important in a dlc
Title: Re: god of war thread
Post by: C.Mongler on August 31, 2018, 10:49:37 AM
lol good point, i edited my post of spoilers (mostly) but MAN WE NEED SPOILER TAGS

and anyway, idk what the inevitable expansion DLC would be then besides FLAAAASHBAAAAAACK, which seems kinda weird since MOMMA isnt an actual character and basically only serves as a plot prop

to me the sequel would be GOING TO A TEASED DISTANT LAND, so the DLC would wrap up the norse shit for the most part, but that's just my take

man we need spoiler tags lol
Title: Re: god of war thread
Post by: Nyerp on August 31, 2018, 10:53:29 AM
i don't think the game is going to get dlc at all tbh...And That's A Good Thing!
Title: Re: god of war thread
Post by: C.Mongler on August 31, 2018, 11:00:14 AM
just seems par for the course for ModernSony

The Last of Us
Uncharted 4
Bloodborne
Horizon: Zero Dawn
Infamous: Second Son

They all got them spicy expansion DLCs (some of them even as standalones)
Title: Re: god of war thread
Post by: Nyerp on August 31, 2018, 11:29:16 AM
uncharted: lost legacy was basically a full game, i wouldn't count it as a dlc

anyway the game's director said there's no dlc planned soooooo
Title: Re: god of war thread
Post by: C.Mongler on August 31, 2018, 11:38:59 AM
I mean it started as straight dlc and grew into something different. I agree it's not in the traditional sense, but its not quite exactly removed from it either. Idk

and Cory can say whatever he wants but MommySony is writing the checks cmongler;
Title: Re: god of war thread
Post by: C.Mongler on August 31, 2018, 11:40:19 AM
Also the Atreus TWIST was one of the dumbest narrative choices I've ever seen lol Cory better figuratively suck me off for that one in the sequel 
Title: Re: god of war thread
Post by: Nyerp on August 31, 2018, 11:46:04 AM
by "twist" do you mean that section of the game where atreus starts acting like an asshole and basically has a personality shift until he suddenly reverts back to normal and it's never explained or brought up again
Title: Re: god of war thread
Post by: C.Mongler on August 31, 2018, 12:46:07 PM
oh neat, quasi spoiler tags

naw i didnt meant that part but that part is also fuckin' dumb

i mean when the reveal atreus = loki, as if that means anything in the context of the game or as if he shares almost any qualities with the mythological loki as a character. it's just some dumb left-field SICK REFERENCE BRO twist that means absolutely nothing lol. hopefully they do something around that in the next game, but we'll see i guess lol
Title: Re: god of war thread
Post by: Nyerp on August 31, 2018, 01:00:38 PM
oh yeah. i really hope that they weren't trying to handwave his weird character shift with "well he's loki so of course he's a dick sometimes lol!" because you're right, it doesn't match atreus' actual established character and would be really shitty writing
Title: Re: god of war thread
Post by: YPrrrr on August 31, 2018, 01:08:05 PM
Man if Kratos kills Atreus thats gonna be sick
Title: Re: god of war thread
Post by: Nyerp on September 01, 2018, 04:25:06 PM
beat the final valkyrie, took like an hour. she had like 15 different attacks, but only 1 or 2 of them are the ones that kept killing me. so frustrating. OH WELL I DID IT
