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.

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.

How do I release the dragon in Viethguard? I killed the boss and unlocked everything on the island?

I think I poop socked this for easily 5+ hours today. It's pretty awesome, although a little messy. It's kind of trying to do everything. It really wears it's Naughty Dog and Dark Souls influences on it's sleeve. I just ditched the main quest to go do random poo poo once it was available and it kind of felt like a weird Frankenstien of every popular game mechanic of the last 5 years. It's drat fun though. I do like it a lot, but I also find myself going "ok, this is from this game, and this is from this game..." as opposed to thinking it's doing anything noteworthy. The axe is really cool and probably the most individualistic thing about it. Otherwise it kind of feels like a "best of" playlist of 2010's games. It's not a bad thing, but it's super blatant where they looked for inspiration. And God of War was not particularly high up on the priority list. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 09:49 on Apr 21, 2018 |

At the risk of sounding like an edgelord, I wish this game was gorier. GOW 3 went way too far with it, but the glowing neon monster blood in this one isn't really doing it for me. Just makes me feel like I'm fighting robots or something and the rare vs human fights seem to intentionally have the violence toned way down.

I guess it's not that I wish it was gorier. I just think it would be cooler if these undead dudes were spraying black tar blood all over the place instead of Splatoon ink

Im confused on how to progress. I'm in Alfheim and every direction involves the blue gems that make bridges, but the boy just says "too bad the witches bow string doesn't work anymore" There is some conspicuous blue brazier that looks like it might recharge it, and that's my best guess but the boy won't interact with it. No idea what to do next here.

They’d be fine if they applied auto aim a bit. The aiming feels so clunky. Either that or don’t make the timing so drat unforgiving. I just spent a straight 15 minutes on one in alfheim and I never want to do another one again.

JBP posted:Centre of screen, L2 then R1? It doesn't seem hard and there is some grace on arrows. I just centre and mash square. You can use arrows on rune chests? esperterra posted:The one with the, uh, elevator layers? Yeah that one took me a hot minute b/c it was awkward. At least it wasn't a timed one. Much later. You have to line them up. Two are outside of windows and the last is right by the chest. The timing is insanely unforgiving. If you overshoot and have to adjust you aim at all it resets. Took me like 50 tries. Now I'm in the elf sanctuary. This game has some surprisingly hard puzzly poo poo.

There's gotta be some trickery going on with these 7 realms or this game is enormous in length. I've only done Alfheim and I'm probably 10+ hours in. Although I have done pretty much all the side stuff I can find.

Yes there are side quests all over before alfheim. One of them is huge and took me like 2 hours. You'll be able to do them later though.

It's almost like you haven't gotten the full story after 2 hours in a 30-50 hour game and some of these questions are addressed over the course of the next 48 hours. Combat-wise I dunno what to tell you, it's good. Edit: although I do agree with you that some of the stuff Kratos does is so out of character that it doesn't really feel like the same guy sometimes. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 20:20 on Apr 22, 2018 |

TLOU is one of my top games of all time but I honestly think this game does a significantly better and more convincing job of having your kid go from wimp to badass.

After the Witch reveals who she is, she mentions something to Kratos and he gets kind of angry and says “you did not think it important to tell me” and she says something like “who are you to lecture me about that” I missed what she said. Anyone know?

ThisIsACoolGuy posted:I'm actually a moron, any help with this light puzzle would be appreciated. There's a couple dozen of those tendril things I need to axe throw and I'm not entirely sure what the game wants me to do. It was funny hearing Kratos go "no no I got it" but uh, past the point of being funny now. What am I missing like a idiot? Your probably gonna need to be more specific. The answer to all of those is pretty much to find the right angle and throw. If it seems undoable you may have to push on and see if you find an alternate path with a better angle.

DLC Inc posted:I'm curious how many people are on Normal and how many play it on Hard. I realize Hard will probably be more manageable later on but I just got to Alfheim and feel like I should take the difficulty down to Normal for the first time as a reward for grinding my blood and bones through some truly hellish scenarios where I thought "I'm never going to win this fight." I bumped it down way before you did. I figure there is almost a 100% chance I'll play again and I can gently caress with hard or GMGOW later. Normal seems good. It's not that hard but doesn't just give you the win either, and there is really tough side poo poo all over that would probably have me hating the game right now if I stuck with hard. Normal seems perfect for the average joe. I do wish the harder modes didn't involve making the enemies such damage sponges. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 06:04 on Apr 23, 2018 |

Can someone give me a clearer, spoiler free idea of the progression in this game? I think I played for easily 15+ hours this weekend and the game suggests there are seven realms, and although I did all the side stuff I could find which took up quite a bit of time, I've still only been to Alfheim and the main story keeps taking place near the main lake. Is there actually 7 realms in the game or is that a red herring? It just seems weird to me because Alfheim took a good 3 hours or something to do everything. I can't imagine I'm only 1/7th of the way through. I'm at the dead giant fwiw

Nail Rat posted:Well that helps, so far me in combat has been tapping x rapidly to jump left and right until I go forward and awkwardly swing at someone, unless it's an enemy slow-moving enough I can spam axe throws. Honestly the lock on kind of sucks anyways. it seems like clicking R3 to unlock only works sometimes. I've mostly been not even bothering despite being an avid locker on in Dark Souls.

I was wondering that too. It's a real pain in the rear end. I'm guessing the doors maybe only become 2 ways in post game so you can clean up side content easier?

No circle = block or parry, yellow circle = you can parry but blocking will leave you vulnerable, red circle = you better move Am I the only one who mixes up the red circle and execution prompt sometimes?
