MrSpaM Posted 20 April 2018 Posted 20 April 2018 Anybody picking this up today? Getting rave reviews across the board, picking it up after work
kingcarr21 Posted 20 April 2018 Posted 20 April 2018 I need this in my life, God of War is one of my all time fave game series. God of War 3 is just brilliant. I'm going to nip to town tomorrow to pick it up
VLC86 Posted 20 April 2018 Posted 20 April 2018 I haven't played any of the others but the reviews on this are incredible. It almost looks like TLOU with swords, Do I need to have played the others?

You could just go on Wikipedia or something and read up on the other storylines but that would mean you missing out on some of the best boss fights I have ever faced. What's not to like about big boss fights against Titans and Gods. GoW 3 is awesome taking on the likes of Hades, Poseidon, Helios and Zeus

Absolute dog shite for exclusives games. All of their exclusives are awful when you compare them to the quality Sony brings out. Just a shame because all my friends etc are on Xbox, so I need it if I want to play with them on anything online.
Legend_in_blue Posted 20 April 2018 Posted 20 April 2018 Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone, The Last of Us Part 2, God of War... Microsoft are in the bin.

Legend_in_blue Posted 20 April 2018 Posted 20 April 2018 Back on topic. One of the best intro's to a game I've played and the most violent... I will be getting the new one after I've cleared AC:O. This and the new Tomb Raider game are top of my list of confirmed releases for this year. The Last of Us 2 can wait. I don't have the time.

MrSpaM Posted 20 April 2018 Author Posted 20 April 2018 Liking it so far Combat has changed a lot, it's more like dark souls combat now, which makes the enemies a lot more challenging The graphics are really nice, suspect it would look amazing on a 4k tv

Legend_in_blue Posted 22 April 2018 Posted 22 April 2018 If I had a 4k TV I'd go out and buy a PS4 Pro just for this. I'd have two PS4s on the go but, what the heck, it looks worth it.
kingcarr21 Posted 22 April 2018 Posted 22 April 2018 Just started playing this, bout to start my journey to the mountain. Brilliant start. i can see the dark souls comparison, the fighting is similar but I can also see a resemblance to The Last of Us. Kratos and Atreus remind me of Joel and Ellie at the start of their journeys. Atm this is looking like a corker of a game
Captain... Posted 23 April 2018 Posted 23 April 2018 Loving it so far, really torn between extensive exploring and game progression. Likewise do I power up and craft new equipment or save my hack silver and resources for more powerful weapons later on, I'm still a little confused by the progression for skills and equipment. I found this a useful read: https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2018/04/22/ten-things-i-wish-i-knew-when-i-started-god-of-war/#13656a004104
MrSpaM Posted 23 April 2018 Author Posted 23 April 2018 There's a great moment on this that fans of the series will love, think it's just over half way through, can't really say much without spoiling a huge moment in the game, I had a massive grin on my face though
lgfualol Posted 23 April 2018 Posted 23 April 2018 Never played a God of War but this seems interesting and looks impressive. However, I am super casual and like easy games as I do not play that much. How is this? More Bloodborne or more HZD?

This is my first foray in God of War and on normal difficulty I am progressing nicely, a few encounters needed a couple of goes and there was one nasty bugger guarding a chest that I wanted. I could have ignored him, but I wanted to see what I could do. It depends on your playing style if you like exploring you will pick up plenty of items and silver to buff Kratos to overpower most enemies in the story without much problem, but you will also encounter some over powered enemies that are best left in peace to return to later, if you race through the story you will probably start to struggle quite quickly, but why race through it when you can marvel at the stunning scenery and pick up plenty of items to help you on your way. There is also an easy setting if you just fancy a stroll.
glenny_fox Posted 23 April 2018 Posted 23 April 2018 I am loving this game. Having played all of the previous GoW games, it's a pleasant change to see actual character development with Kratos rather than just being revenge driven. The exploration is great and achieves exactly what it's meant to be, a side game, in the fact that if you do it you get small rewards but if you don't do it you're not missing out on too much. The soundtrack & graphics are amazing aswell.

potter3 Posted 24 April 2018 Posted 24 April 2018 Can you get I and II on PS4? Tempted to get one just for this, but I fancy replaying the whole series.
