I I am impressed so far... this god of war is literally the only reason I bought a ps4 years ago...it was in anticipation that one day we’d get this..
Let me begin by telling you guys how’s much of a gow fanboy I am..
My chocolate lab is named kratos, he is 7yrs old and can chew holes through drywall/walls ...basically he’s always wrecked shit(like Marley and me on steroids). I’m obviously going to be biased as fuck in my initial review.
Got it preorder from game stop last night , no hassle . Got to love preorder..a lot of pissed people in there couldn’t get it because the only copies they had left were pre orders accounted for.
After some update file bullshit(I hate that part of modern games) I started playing at around 10 pm .
I didn’t stop until around 3am ..
that’s gotta tell you something.. I tried the hardest mode for an hour and changed that shit..it was way to hard for my patience level.I settled on 2nd mode(forget the name) but basically one knot has above easiest (I know I’m a bitch but I really don’t got time for one hour mob sequences).
The first thing that stood out.
Kratos ability and menu option screen(codex,etc) seems way more intricate, this is definitely going to be more immersive then previous titles.
Graphics...I recently destroyed my awesome brand new 4K tv by drunken foolery. decided I wanted to play just dance with wife and daughter drunk and ended up putting a crack down the middle
. I think the forest and character detail are awesome. Kratos looks like a strong old man and they captured this pretty well with the texture. I’m gonna hold off on full graphics judgment until I switch to better tv. It’s a lcd 50”
I used my older tv and I’m not sure what the deal is but I can barely even read the codex... I think I need to adjust those settings again because it is hard to read any text on screen...maybe I’m just getting blind in age though.
Fight mechanics are definitely simpler now.. seem kinda dull right now cause I only have like basic moves , once I got the axe throw thing down I really started to fuck shit up. But it’s really simple . It does seem clunky at times ,especially when fighting multiple enemies and trying to block/counter there attacks.
The stranger fight was epic... I was like who the fuck is this guy punching kratos through mountains and shit! I am very interested in hearing more back story. The Norse angle is badass imo ,
The stranger does looks like a random hipster from Starbucks though lol..
I’m gonna start playing now(only got 3-4 hours of sleep ,so if that’s any indication...I’m liking it a lot.
