DODI3OG Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 (edited) The sequel to 2018's God of War which was in itself a soft reboot of the God of War Franchise. I wasn't a fan of the original, Greek-mythology trilogy. But, the 2018 reboot introduced me into the franchise. I'm still not that thrilled since they didn't give us a gameplay showcase this close to release. I get that it's still God of War in every aspect of gameplay, but I just wanna see how they improved the animations and gameplay mechanics since 2018. As tempting as it is, I don't think I'm getting a game unless there's assurance that there'd be no missable collectibles for 100%. I missed a lot of stuff in GOW 2018 because of the linear gameplay. I just hope that this time, the devs would be more lenient on map exploration and backtracking. Also, no loading screens, please. If PS5 sandbox games could do it, why couldn't they implement it on hybrid/linear games? 2021 Reveal Trailer: Release Date announcement Cinematic Trailer Pre-order trailer from 15h of July, 2022.

I missed a lot of stuff in GOW 2018 because of the linear gameplay. I just hope that this time, the devs would be more lenient on map exploration and backtracking. There is nothing missable in GOW (as far as psn trophies go), but you are right that the backtracking and the map exploration, once you left certain areas, is very annoying. This is one of the aspects I hope they improve upon. I would also like more challenges like the last Valkyrie fight, which was probably the most fun I had in the game.

This is one of the aspects I hope they improve upon. I would also like more challenges like the last Valkyrie fight, which was probably the most fun I had in the game. I might give the game another go for GMGOW+, too bad I somehow missed a few runic attacks. No matter how meticulous I am, there's always a spot or two I'd miss. I just hope that difficulty progression won't be very teeth-grinding early on and cheesy late-game. I had to turn down the difficulty early on since without that much upgrades as well as my first time playing GOW and hack-and-slash games in general, I kept getting one-shotted by even wolves. However, by late-game, I basically cheesed through everything using OP runic combos, I basically spammed them on most fights. The enemies should get smarter as we advance through the game, just like the valkyries got different attack and defense combos. Also, I hope there's no more of that pre-order bonus BS. I appreciate that eager fans are appropriately incentivized to pre-order with bonus skins, but I hope if that's the case, the bonus skins shouldn't be as special compared to what would be in-game rewards.

DODI3OG Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 I've heard from other blogs and forums that Kratos is probably gonna kill Thor earlier and we'll get to play with Mjolnir as another elemental weapon. So, on Ragnarok, we'll have Fire, Ice, and Lightning damage and runic attacks. This is probably the new toy they're keeping from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a miniature Marvel Mjolnir back in 2011 when Thor came out. XD I wanna get one for myshelf (myself and my shelf), but is there a way to get the digital version by scanning the disc box? I'm not a fan of physical copies since I tend to conserve space. Also, scalpers in my country would probably sell them for almost double the price.

DODI3OG Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 GOW: Ragnarok is now available for pre-order. I'm still on the fence whether I should get this or TLOU Part 1. I'm a huge TLOU aficionado, but $80 (I'm more of a digital collector) is too steep for a 13-15 hour game even if it is the 1st AAA, first-party title rebuilt solely for the PS5.

Jason Posted Thursday at 12:29 AM Share Posted Thursday at 12:29 AM Had intentionally avoided a lot of footage for this as I won't be playing it until it comes to PC but I did catch that new trailer during the State of Play and it does look... veeeeeeeeery good. Hope the PC release is not too far out for that one. DEADWOODZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEADWOODZ Posted Thursday at 10:46 AM Share Posted Thursday at 10:46 AM (edited) God knows how long the PC version will be out for. Still waiting for that GoT port aswell. Might just have to fish out me old ps4 pro for this though & hook me other monitor up. Edited Thursday at 10:52 AM by DEADWOODZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted Thursday at 11:53 AM Share Posted Thursday at 11:53 AM I think 1-2 years after is a safe bet looking at other Sony projects nowadays, but we'll see. HFW PC will be the telling one possibly, the nVidia leak had the PC version out around a year after the PS5 launch, if that does indeed end up being true (and the nVidia leak is spot on for projects being legit, dates are all TBC) then it could be a good indication for games like Ragnarok. fingers and toes crossed anywho DODI3OG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a couple of friends who also love Horizon Zero Dawn and another one who loves God of War 2018. We talked about these games for hours on end.
