A GLISTENING HODOR posted:First criticism: I miss the orbs system. I pretty much agree. While i've cranked the difficulty down to easy because the combat was getting a bit too frustrating for it to be fun, i'm not really finding any value in the multitude of tweakable setups for marginal gain. It all really just makes the collecting poo poo a chore because of how much trash you can end up finding despite there being a limited number of things to collect. I'm hoping there's some kind of payoff but at the minute i find myself just hoarding all of my money because i've no idea if there's a better item round the corner or if i should just waste it on upgrading a piece of poo poo. edit: I'd rather i just came across plot gear that made me stronger to be honest or one set of armor i just keep upgrading for me and the boy based on the enemies i'm killing.

Kin posted:I pretty much agree. You're fine upgrading individual armor sets and keeping them for several hours, tbh. The main bottleneck for crafting isn't hacksilver, its the resources and the best armors in the game are going to require resources from specific places/enemies. Fortunately, said resources can't be used for any thing other than their associated armor pieces. The crafting system as a whole is pretty pointless and definitely feels like more of a scratch-off-a-bulletpoint rather than a well-thought out system. Hopefully they just scrap it for the next game.

It says you can sell the artifacts your collect (Lost Toys, Ship Heads, etc) and that they're useless otherwise. They are all part of their own mini-quest tho, so if I only have 6/7 of the heads, and I sell the 6, and I find #7 later, will the quest still end with fireworks or just be lol sorry you sold the others you have found 1/7 now. I'm guessing I can sell them, but games can be frustratingly stupid at times.

I switched to Classic combat controls and man it is way better. Square and triangle are your light and heavy and R1 is call axe and you press R2 to Boy. I find it a lot more natural feeling. Also holy crap I just met baba yaga???

It says "crafting" but it's literally a purchasing system with a bottleneck component (like svartelheim steel) to make sure you're solving chest riddles to earn stuff. It's not like your farming mats. Solve the chest puzzles because they're fun and then buy everything in the shop because a new tier of steel is probably around the corner. Your xp and hacksilver income skyrockets as you go, so just spend it. Also sell the poo poo you find that's marked useless.

I guess it's more that all of those items i'm unlocking feel like they're marginally different which makes it over complicated on what to equip. At present i've just gone with everything that raises strength because i can't be hosed doing any kind of min/maxing and i've barely touched the runes or enchantments or whatever because i've got loving loads of them and i really can't be arsed swapping things in and out all the time. For example, i just found out that when you fill a slot on a piece of gear then swap out the piece of gear the thing you put in the slot isn't auto transferred over. So you've gotta manually swap that poo poo about. It's tedious.

I find it a lot more natural feeling. Think I may try this out when I get home from work. Didn't mind the Dark Souls-esque control scheme but shoulders suit a slower action game more. Now I'm getting more abilities and the combat is speeding up I'm thinking face buttons will feel a whole lot better.

I assume later on it will matter more but I did the same. I took the highest strength and focussed on smiting anyone that needed to be smoten. I guess try not the sweat that detail too much. I was a bit like holy poo poo there is so much to think about, but those stats seem most useful way later on for unlocking particular rune upgrades (like having 100+ in a stat adds an effect to particular attacks etc)

Combat feels great to me, but the camera movement feels pretty stiff for how much you're doing. And I swear quick turn doesn't face me backwards half the time and instead he turns to the side.

Honestly though, Atreus’ audio cues are really well done. Whether it’s in or out of combat it’s a smooth flow of info. Plus his smart rear end comments are great. A:. “You gonna carry that thing everywhere? K: “...I just might”

esperterra posted:Combat feels great to me, but the camera movement feels pretty stiff for how much you're doing. Yeah quick turn is not working for me either and while I like the fact that you can dodge mid animation, it's a weird mix of weighty axe swings and tekken-like comboing enemies while in the air that looks and feels, huh, awkward? Maybe I need to get used to it, I don't know. This looks like an incredible game, I'm just not as impressed by combat as I am by everything else.

"Hey look something over here!" "SHUT UP BOY I'M COLLECTING GARBAGE" I like that Atreus, like Ellie, lets you know which way is the Continue The Game path so you can explore side stuff at your leisure.

The Kratos/Atreus exchange during the whetstone sidequest is amazing in a way I never thought a GOW could pull off. A: What kind of person kills his own father! K: Shut up boy. A: Seriously though! K: I said shut up! You just don’t get it! K: Moving on...

Holy poo poo Veithurgard. Having to dodge dragon shots while killing draugr fast really teach yu about dodging and using your arsenal Also good lines with Brok Brok : If I wanted business with Aesir, I would have put a shop outsitde a brothel. Or a fighting pit. Disappoing Son : Did he say Aesir ? Like... gods ? Dad of the year : No. Kratos does not want his son to learn about god habits.

Just a yes/no for those who have already beaten it: Does the game ever actually explain the basic premise? I mean does it ever explicitly tell you who BOY's mom was, how Kratos knew her, why Kratos is in Nordicland, etc?
