Ra Ra Rasputin posted:How far off would it be to say this game is like The Last of Us, but with the zombie survival shooter aspects replaced by fighting game combat and god of war's local pantheon and monster murdering? It's more like that but also everything is also somehow replaced by kicking large amounts of rear end even the deer look like they just rode in off a Dio album cover I have to get back to the game but I did want to take a moment to tell you this is a good game. Ten minutes of combat in game might not be Bloodborne 2 but it sure feels a lot more fair than any of the other titles in the series. Nice to be fighting poo poo instead of seeing if I can get my CHAIN to 87 HITS!!!!!!!!

It seems significantly more open/wide in places (not quite open world), and has deeper RPG and crafting systems.

ZZZorcerer posted:The “give me god of war” difficulty is just ridiculous I'll say. Enemies take forever to kill, can power up so they take double forever to kill and you better not get hit more than twice fighting several of them 2-4 at a time in a single checkpoint.

I was going to avoid this thread for a while but hahahaha oh my god within the first hour or so this game has the best boss fight I’ve probably ever experienced. Holy poo poo. I was smiling the entire time.

I think I’ll restart on lower. This is bullshit. If enemies at least dropped health more often, this is not fun.

Maybe put in OP that the game is still challenging and requires you to use all your tools on normal difficulty and the higher tiers are just for masochists.

“hmmm..we have something a little different. It’s more like keep playing when you finish because there is so much stuff we put in beyond the main journey!” Quote from one of the devs, so I think you’ll be able to keep on playing to get everything/explore. But this difficulty seems to only be available when starting (the other ones you can change at will). The first fights are completely ridiculous, now that I have a few skills it’s a bit more manageable, gonna play a bit more later. The boss fights were ok/easy (first ones at least) problem is that fighting mobs is a pain in the rear end. Game owns a lot, only problems I saw are with this difficulty, everything else is A+

I started on Give Me a Challenge and it is definitely A Challenge so far, but I'm getting the hang of it. The difficulty levels actually mean what they say in this game.

I'm at the bit where you start fighting draughr with two-handed axes and I've had enough of this horseshit, I'm starting a new game. This is worse than God Hand on hard.

Well I've played just about 5 1/2 hours now, took my time clearing out the little side areas in the Lake of Nine (except the rift bosses gently caress those guys). I'm on the second hardest difficulty and I've graduated from dying almost every encounter to only nearly dying, and I took out the Soul Eater boss without too much trouble. So far I'd say this is just about everything you'd want from a single-player AAA experience. Superb visuals, interesting combat, just enough mystery in the main story to keep you going. Can't wait to go back!

I just wanted to drop in and say that first (major) boss fight was one of the most metal video game moments I've experienced in my 40 years of gaming.

Story wise it's very last of us, game wise I think it's more uncharted with axes so far. Gonna play some more today.

Definitely a mash up of Uncharted, Witcher 3, and The Last of Us. Maybe even some modern day Tomb Raider. A few people here and there have said it feels "samey" compared to other games being released over the last few years. I suppose Horizon Zero Dawn fits that narrative as well. Striking difference between this (so far) and other titles in the same genre is God of War is actually...fun? It's engaging and exciting and has great world building, and has generally hooked me in with its challenge/mechanics. While stuff like Zero Dawn and Assassin's Creed just bored me to tears.

That's good. That's what I was worried about. I need to get back to Zero Dawn but I was not engaged in the slightest.

God of War is one of the games I immediately go to the hardest settings on so the difficulty talk is intriguing me. Those of you who tried the God of War setting is it more difficult or about the same as this series typically is on Crushing

I'm playing on the balanced difficulty and I died twice to the first boss so I can only imagine what the game is like on the highest difficulty. Probably has similar vibes to the Titan difficulty in GoW II.

The only thing missing from that first boss fight was Amon Amarth doing the soundtrack to it. Pretty cool game so far. I've never played the GoW series before, but the trailers caught me, and the fact the producer said Dark Souls inspired the combat sold me. The game looks absolutely amazing. Might be the best looking game I've played to date.

Does the game have hanzo steel or other melee weapons besides a puny woodcutters axe. Also I watched a video of what seemed like the first boss and got Metal Gear Rising feels. Might have to buy this drat game WaltherFeng fucked around with this message at 14:34 on Apr 20, 2018 |

Cucking isn't as prevalent in Norse mythology as it was in Greek so frankly Kratos has upgraded in that regard. 1stGear fucked around with this message at 14:53 on Apr 20, 2018 |

I don’t see any so-called clunkiness to the combat really, I just see myself sucking and the many opportunities to play better by incorporating more of my toolset.
