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.

I feel like I'm gonna eventually need to drop to Normal difficulty because the enemies have SO MUCH HEALTH. It sucks when you're wailing on something but the stun takes so long to kick in plus some enemies are just so loving spongy. I can deal with a difficulty adding more enemies or attack patterns but just having dudes soak up so much poo poo is bonkers

It also seemed hard at the start but once you have runic upgrades and poo poo plus a few favourite combos you can smash through anything and look good doing it. It also started out feeling hard and I come very close to death every now and then, but Atreus gets some health drop abilities and stuff if you're suffering, but I prefer having him capable of destroying poo poo with dear old dad.

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.

I am super stuck. I assume that I'm about 75% through the story, give or take, so this is all going behind spoilers. I'm on The Black Rune quest, for what it's worth. So Atreus has just learned the truth, and rather than continuing the story I thought I'd do some exploring. I headed back to the the River Pass area, and now I'm stuck at the village just before Freya's hut. I can't go forward, because the stone I'd normally lift is overgrown with vines, and if I head west through the clearing with the big ribcage and rune door, I come to that room with the spiked ceiling. I can't go further that way because there's no way to raise the roof without standing on it. Am I missing a Mystic Gateway or something? This seems like it shouldn't be able to happen. Great game, but some of the navigation is harder than it oughta be. EDIT: Nevermind, there's was another way out of the spiked ceiling room.

I’m playing on balanced and the difficulty feels real good. It’s right in the sweet spot where enemies have enough health that you can kind of beat up on them for a while in a satisfying way and you can get creative with combos, but you have to watch your rear end or else you’ll get rocked. But if I do pay attention I’m usually ok and end most fights with between 1/2 - 2/3rds of my health, which feels about right. The axe feels fantastic and the boomeraxe mechanic is really amazing. Even outside of combat I find myself goofing around with it a lot, like I’ll just throw it into some wall/tree or down some chasm and see how far away I can get from it before recalling it. Sometimes it’s fun just to throw and recall for no reason just to see and hear it slamming back into your hand. And even when your axe is off stuck in some enemy, hand to hand combat feels just as great. And Spartan Rage feels absolutely brutal. Imagine you set a gorilla on fire and put it in a room full of zombies, basically. Game’s good.

I think the mechanics of the combat are extremely good, but the combination of the camera being way too close, the weird way that the camera sticks on enemies when you're not even locked on, and the fact that every fight has people spawning all around you makes for some really frustrating situations. Aiming and throwing the axe is done with the exact same controls as aiming and shooting in every single FPS so I'm not sure why I gently caress it up CONSTANTLY

I can't stress enough how good the double shield slam is. The second slam sends a wave of force out that does enormous stun and damage. That poo poo is my go to when runes are cooling off and there are many creatures to slay. It also knocks back for miles.

parabolic posted:I'm so conflicted about the combat changes in this game. I want the series to evolve mechanically, but I feel super claustrophobic sitting so close and so off center behind Kratos. I find myself missing the reach of his classic chain weapons a lot, and so the combat feels a bit... stifling? Everything looks so good, and we're just smashed up too close to it, IMO. Everything else about the presentation and story is loving incredible though. huge spoiler: I have good news for you

I kept failing trying to do that until I realized there's a spot that you can hit them all from without moving

Good Soldier Svejk posted:Or just the overall RPG aspects in general. "gently caress them, it's not our problem. Don't gently caress up my weapons, they're already perfect." I love how when he find some side quest about helping a ghost or other he is quickly goes to "not my problem" mode. I am playing in easy and the enemies that give me problems are some type of shielded mobs, and these witches that teleport around and shot poison. I advanced the story too quick and neglected upgrading and doing side quest for upgrades and It feel like the game punish me for it. The game want the player to upgrade stuff at a good pace.

I get that the Norse realms at the beginning of Ragnarok would probably be hosed up, but do they ever explain why Midgard seems like it already started there? Or do the Norse gods just give less of a poo poo about mortals than the Greek ones did?

Also my controller isn't buggy any more so maybe that was actually an issue they hotfixed? Someone in the PlayStation thread was having the same issue. My controller didn't have any weirdness w/ the left stick when I tested it with NieR before work so I was pretty sure w/e it was it was GoW related, either a bug or like someone suggested maybe their deadzone calibration is whack and my controller was off just enough to make it go buggy. I bought a new controller after work and everything!! ALL FOR NAUGHT!

Ran into another mini boss whatever fight thing that I had to bump difficulty down to easy to beat. I got so dang close and then they just randomly poo poo out creatures behind you out of nowhere. I can't stand that poo poo. I can barely survive this huge thing kicking my rear end left and right, then you decide to drop 5 dudes who explode into this? Get hosed. I'm still enjoying the game immensely, though. The amount of fun puzzles and exploring some pretty cool scenery is just tits.

I can deal with a difficulty adding more enemies or attack patterns but just having dudes soak up so much poo poo is bonkers I stuck it out on Challenging and it became much more manageable once I fully maxed out my shield skills and Atreus got Light Arrows. You can build up the stun meter so fast with fists + arrows + shield that it doesn't even matter how much HP the bad guys have because Kratos is ripping them in half with R3 every couple seconds. Atreus upgrades are really important, especially his rate of fire and stun/expose passives. gently caress I'm off to play more God of War!!!

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.

I felt like I was wasting what the game was giving me for about ten hours then it clicked into place. Simply upgrading your axe and learning to either take a brief pause after a strike or hold down R1 before dropping a rune power is some cinematic poo poo.
