Question is, will the crack in Necrokiller's avatar or the additional PC features fix his isssues with GOW's gameplay? :LOL:

Combat doesn't work well in crowd control situations at higher difficulties. The combat arenas feel too tight and FoV begins to feel too narrow and you are constantly getting hit by off screen enemies to complete any basic combo. Souls games and BB suffers from this as well but to a lesser degree. You can't attack left or right as effeciently (in Souls games you have some degree of control to attack on the sides if you haven't locked in on any enemy). Turning off "recentre camera" helps but animations take too long to catch up to the number of enemies on screen. This is when Kratos feels like a tank to control since you have to align the camera to bring the enemy reasonably in front of you to land attacks. And the heavy attack don't always start a juggle. The animation is quite long so its always a gamble since enemies can kill you with 1-2 hits. Atreus commands aren't reliable and threat indicators are absolutely necessary if you want to survive at all.

Give Me God of War basically forces you to cheese enemies. That's why the challenge wasn't fun and plenty of people dropped down the difficulty since it feels cumbersome and not rewarding.
Thordi cheese mujhay bhi bhej dou. Elden Ring boss fights mein kaam aye gi 🤣

Actually believing such exaggeration when it has already been possible to play via mouse and kb (or the controller in the right hand) with configured deadzone via your favorite XIM/Chronus devices 🤣

Moreover, how does the input device alter your issues with the camera? 🤷‍♂️ :LOL:

Will the PC version finally make it so that Give Me God of War doesn't "[force] you to cheese enemies"? In the original, "that's why the challenge wasn't fun and plenty of people dropped down the difficulty since it feels cumbersome and not rewarding" 🤷‍♂️ :LOL:

the ONCE acclaimed steam controller went for 5$ a pop. jealous you say :p
Tum $5 ka hi le lete jaani, chalana to PC pe hi hai ;)

waisay seriously, never once I thought on my 2 playthroughs that "This needs a keyboard and mouse"..I think a controller is still the best option for GOW
As with anything that requires aiming, its serviceable on a controller, best on a mouse. For those who don't want to use keyboard, they can still use a Steam Controller (or Steam Deck) that can provide options from both.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    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.
