Everything I’ve heard is the game is very slow and linear for the first 3-4 hours before something happens and it blows wide open so probably something to keep in mind if anybody is bored

The witch’s sanctuary was breathtaking, especially when you get to her actual house

the combat is awesome other than I cannot loving remember that L2 is throw and L1 is shield. I throw my axe on accident probably 90% of the time

I imagine people who can’t wrap their heads around kratos and boy’s familial dynamic must’ve had Cool Fun Dads/are “my father is my hero” types

I took it as more that much like not knowing he was a god was causing him some real physical harm, there’s some sort of real change, including psychological, in knowing you’re a God. And that part of godhood is being a gigantic loving insolent prick, and only a few learn to tame it and become mature/responsible in spite of their nature. Like how going to the dark side in Star Wars amplifies all your worst tendencies and turns you into a megalomaniac.

Kilometers Davis posted:Something I keep thinking about is how this game has made Kratos one of my favorite video game characters. It’s not because they rebooted him because they didn’t, it’s because they went back and dug out every single bit of depth from his character and instead of cutting out the bad they examined it and made sense of it in a mature competent and modern way. Me too. I didn’t really care much for the previous games’ stories and definitely thought Kratos was loving lame. This game has made him one of my favorite characters, and it does it without undermining any of those previous games

I have no chance against the fire realm Valkyrie. Good god. I can’t even get a quarter of her health knocked off.

CodeJanitor posted:I like how the game has you the player beating the poo poo out of a man that has bipolar disorder and other severe mental disorders caused by the abuse throughout his life from his overbearing mom and batshit evil father. You then proceed to choke the man in front of his mother then outright murder him, again, in front of his begging mother and... that is the climax and ending of the game yes though I feel like somebody summing up GoW as “something something dump some ashes”as a criticism may not be playing the game in good faith there’s no dlc or expansion packs coming

WoodrowSkillson posted:It's portraying them all in the worst light. Baldur was so loved by all of creation that after he died, all but one thing mourned his death, and if everything had, he would be restored to life. i guess, they’re not real though so one interpretation is about as valid as the other. god of war as a series tends to operate from the perspective that the conventional myths are from and by the perspective of the gods and are written to glorify them, whereas GoW interprets them from the perspective of man who doesn’t give a poo poo if they’re gods Who Do They Think They Are God Dammit and is right in doing so a dude who can’t feel pain turning into a real dickhead is such a common interpretation of that power in fiction honestly it’s weirder to me to imagine how Baldur could possibly be a nice guy

Listening to the audiobook while I drive around for work today. Pretty good, though while it’s awesome to hear Mimir telling the story it is a bit weird when he does his imitation of Kratos’ voice. Edit: also a lot of the dialogue is slightly changed pretty much universally for the worse. Wonder if they were working off an earlier script.
