Incoming first batch of screens.

None of these are things we haven't already seen in the trailers or officially released screens, so no spoiler whining please :p

I think GOW has overtaken Horizon as the game with the finest IQ I have seen till date.

Looks like others have finished Give Me God of War in just 3 days as well.







Looks like you're not that DAMN SERIOUS when it comes to God of War after all ;)

Or...
Spoiler: show
... maybe you just suck at it? :p


ahh first off im not playing on give me god of war setting thats hard mode and its crazy to play on hard mode on your first try, secondly, im enjoying the game thats what god of war is about. not speed running to see who can end the game first LOL that's just NOT what its about. how the game is made its inching to being explored in every nook and cranny. the interesting lores during the journey are to be heard. i don't mind just relaxing in the middle of the lake of nine to just hear mimir tell his lores yeah i do that just to hear em out. i don't mind getting sidetracked to get some sidequests done which are fun.

so yeah if im doing that guess im not much of a god of war fan or i suck at it awwww

Maybe youre moving at a snails pace? Not that theres anything wrong with that. You could acuse the reviewers of speed runs as well not like they are 100% completionists. Unfortunately the game doesn’t track your playtime. And in the central hub where Brok is located you have to wait for the prompt to open the door. And the temporary loading areas between portals as well and realms. It takes alot of time to finish either way. Not a small game by any means.

@venom ohh yes MIMIR brother haha he is very interesting and his lores during the cruising actually gets filled up in the book, he resumes his lores once back in the boat and so on :D awesome stuff man just awesome
People always talk about the conversations that happened between characters in games like Uncharted and TLOU but I have never really cared so much about them. But in GOW these conversations feel so organic and interesting that you always tend to listen through the whole conversation. Especially given the fact that the tone of these conversations change with the attitude of Kratos towards Artreus. Mimir's stories are more or less lore orientated and they too are super interesting to listen to, his quirkiness in those stories is really well done.

Ofcourse its a copy lol how can anyone say it isn’t? Thats the first thing anyone would say after watching it. But I dont see how thats a bad thing? They’re part of the same universe now anyway. The axe is forged by the same blacksmith who forged the Hammer of Thor.

P.S: What kind of magical boomerangs do you have access to? They don’t fly back at the thrower’s will :p
for me taking inspiration from and copying are two different things.

Copy is what China does to make fake rolex, copy is to copy / paste stuff on a pc, copy is to "homework chapna"

Taking inspiration from is where original thought went into place, which I really feel is true for the axe.

Just because it comes back on demand doesn't make it a copy.
Thor's hammar can summon different things like lighting, fire, wind , rain, it helps him fly, it can open inter dimensional portals and other stuff

I would argue TLOU had very similar conversations. They obviously didn't have lore, but Joel & Ellie were more open with each other as the game progressed, just as Kratos' general tone changed with Atreus. Joel, in the beginning of the game, is pretty harsh but by the end of the game, Joel tells Ellie he'll teach her how to play the guitar, Ellie tells Joel about her nightmare, Joel is even able to talk about Sarah, which tells you how much he changed his opinion about Ellie. Joel and Ellie's conversations set the bar, imo, because then UC4 followed and now GoW.

Pls don't compare UC, TLOU and GoW ok it physically hurts me to compare my favorite games like that haha :p

hahaha... Dude I'm just comparing one very minute aspect of the game. TLOU for me is one of the greatest games ever made.

I guess I'm more interested in these conversations since the world is new, Kratos arguably is a changed man plus the events leading upto this entry are a mystery. Also, both Norse and Greek mythology is something that has always piqued my interest and that makes the game alot more lore-rich for me. That is why I always let Mimir finish up his conversations before I disembark from the boat :p

The memes have been pretty good so far.





Also, what you get for completing this game on 'Give Me God of War' difficulty (nothing spoilery, marking it just in case):

This is my favorite one so far, of course if you watch King of the Hill, you'll appreciate it.

Finally got my hands on this...

Played until
Spoiler: show
The World Serpent meeting


Let's see...

Graphics even on a base PS4 are pretty neat, frame rate increases in some areas that definitely feels higher than 30fps.

Combat is good, man throwing axe and calling it back is soooo satisfying.

Animations feel fluid, integrated and seamless cutscenes instead of launching into a separate movie is always a welcome.

Waiting to discover more and oh...
Press □ to call boy

That's not possible .. OG PS4 and Pro on Resolution mode are capped to 30 FPS. The motion blur is very high quality and it's main purpose is to make the game look/feel smoother, so I guess that might be it.

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
