Man at least the majority of Greece was well, Greece, according to a few cutscenes I watched, at least until the Greek gods gently caress it up, but the Nine Realms seem like really lovely places due to infighting regardless of the Aesir and Vanir. Going by that and the endings, I think they're probably going for the trope that the Norse pantheons bring Ragnarok on themselves

I like how this game has great checkpoints and the ability to pretty much save at any moment you want.

Gonna be fun in 10 years when Loki/Atreus inadvertently causes the Egyptian creator Atum to try and destroy creation after 3 games playing as Osiris or something.

One thing I’m not clear on, if I hit a side area can I always do it right then and there? Or is there a Metroid type deal where I have to come back later to complete some stuff.

Yeah the Norse Mythology is breaking down. Tyr is stated as being dead long ago. As part of Odin's plots to deny Ragnarok.

I'm glad to report that "Give me a Challenge" begins to stop being miserably hard after you get to the first kinda open hub as long as you've been exploring/collecting money. Managed to get myself a ton of upgrades which has made this much more manageable.

My one complaint about this game so far is that there are all these branching paths, and I don’t know which one is the way to progression and I end up thinking I’m exploring a side path, and it’s actually the main story. Then I am locked out from the doing the optional stuff I was working on. I’m sure the game will let me go back and do it but it’s sort of frustrating when I get blocked like that and I don’t know if I’ll be motivated to backtrack and I wanted to do it now.

In a way, the current state of the Aesir and the Nine Realms can be explained as the effects of Pandora's Box being opened during the last trilogy. Odin's paranoia and lust for power/knowledge were intensified, just like Zeus' fear, which lead him to murder Tyr and pursue a more brutal rise to power (such as torturing Mimir instead of befriending him). Also, Kratos is literally Farbauti.

I do wish there was a setting or a skill that lets Altreus auto shoot that can be toggled on or off. With so many combos, runes, talismans, I find myself constantly forgetting to use him in smaller encounters, and only remember in big encounters and/or if I keep dying on a smaller encounter.

I watched 3 different people playing this game on Twitch today. I also watched 3 different reviews on YouTube. All the people playing were pretty "meh" about it but all of the reviews were sucking the Sony cock until it was polished well and shiny. The fighting bits themselves seemed to play out very God of War, so that's pretty great. But I cannot get into "Family Man" Kratos. . . and that kid drives me bananas. He's like the Scrappy Doo of God of War.

Is there an equivalence for the Desolation in Norse mythology or is it just supposed to be the hosed up lead up to Ragnarok? Also a convenient excuse to not have to model more people and have additional voice actors. This game chugs enough without it being in a city.

Managed to get myself a ton of upgrades which has made this much more manageable. Now that I reached that part I'll probably bump it up to that after restarting the game on normal. Normal is a bit too easy but hard felt just as punishing as GoW mode only the enemies didn't power up anymore.

Over There posted:I forget a lot of moves in this game Early on pro-tip: if you can mix in the d-pad into your punch combos, instead of eventually knocking a guy away, you can punch, punch, punch, axe, axe, axe, punch, punch... etc. well, something like that anyway. You can juggle with newly anything if you can keep the pressure on.

Anybody know if you can visit all the realms? I'm hoping this is gonna be a bigass game but now I'm thinking it's just gonna be the one storyline with the one main boss plus henchmen and leave the rest for sequel bait rather than killing the whole Norse pantheon over 100 hours. E also I am gonna be PISSED if kratos doesn't get mjolnir by the end!

OK for real try this out because it makes the game control way better all the available options for Quick Turn kinda sucked for me, but then i realized that since i usually swap L3 and R3 in games where you click L3 to sprint, i turned that on and then set Quick Turn to be "hold back and L3" (which, now, is "hold back and press R3") this makes a WORLD of difference in chaotic combat situations! not only does it make sprinting easier, it makes Quick Turning incredibly easy. the default being down on the d-pad is so horrid.

Atreus is very annoying at the start but Kratos acknowledges this and over the course of the game teaches him to shut up a lot
