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

What’s up with the second boss? As a Hard Nosed GOW Vet :smug: the first boss is always impressive. Hopefully there a few more that are fun


Edit: looks like it was answered right above me :saddowns:

Ok so that boss fight was definitely not what I expected. Way different from fighting the colossus of Rhodes or Poseidon but very cool. Challenge was satisfying when I got him 3 tried in, no fuckin way would I have been ready for give me god of war

Feel like I won’t have as much “oh cool there’s ___” since I know just about nothing regarding Norse mythology though :(

It's weird because some moments when I'm really thinking about combat it's very smooth and easy, but when I'm either not paying close enough attention or I'm tired I gently caress up a lot. It's very rewarding but very punishing.

this. It feels very balanced to me. Ive only felt "cheated" once so far

I love how extremely little patience and interest Kratos has in the dwarfs as if hes in the wrong game

Also hearing Kratos retell old Greek fables like they were presented to him as a series of matter-of-fact bullet points is hilarious.

For some reason i didn’t realize I could do side objectives until the dwarves gave me one after I finished the dark/light elves area and poo poo this game is humongous. Easily my GOTY

I can already tell finding all the Ravens is gonna be loving miserable, unless they're cumulative across all playthroughs

Yea that’s the one collectible I immediately was out on. If I run across them fine but I’m not hunting them without a guide at least

One would have to be blissfully ignorant to think that anything Kratos does would even make CPS bat an eyelash.

They're too busy taking kids away from single moms who are legitimately trying their best but forgot to throw away an empty liquor bottle and didn't lock their bathroom medicine cabinet.

That or you know actual physical and sexual abusive parents.

It's fairly extraordinary when every other facet of the game is more or less equal to it's other inspirations. It's a real greatest hits of good game design.

This.

Also at least for me it’s the difference between this and all the previous GOW games which were as linear as linear can be. It’s like wtf am I even playing? Kratos can do other things??? (Even if he clearly doesn’t want to do any of that poo poo)

May have it on easy


Did they buff the dark elf boss? I beat him first try easily on GMAC but he’s killing me quickly on plus



finally beat him. had to fight him like a valk and be patient as gently caress

I really hate that that blades of chaos moment did nothing for me. And im a big GOW fan even enjoying the previous prequel installment no one liked. Just felt like oh ok the weapon he has in every game he’ll have again.

I don’t think anyone keeps up here anymore but maybe complaining online will help.

Restarted a Give me God of War run through recently and I just can not loving get past the part where you initially get the chaos blades . From everything I’ve seen this is just a glorified tutorial to be completed easy peasy but I swear either I’m extremely all of a sudden real bad at the game or it’s glitched and these ice fucks just endlessly spawn

They tank right through my hits, no health every generates after killing them and even with a Spartan rage prompt they just eventually overwhelm me. It’s really frustrating

And I didn’t bother creating a save before that particular point of no return to do side missions to maybe level a bit so I’m just in hell


Edit. Yep just needed to complain
