Smirking_Serpent posted:Did anyone else get spoiled by the subtitles? That caught me as well  I sometimes have trouble with dialogue in video games, especially if there's background noise, so I always do subtitles as well. That was bad, and there's some other spot where a line shows up like a bit early and spoils something that would have been more dramatic if it'd appeared at the right time, I can't remember what. That latter bit happens a lot in games tbh.

If you're starved for more Norse mythology and play Hellblade after this, definitely turn subtitles off for that game.

I didn't catch that particular error so I was still surprised by the reveal. The subtitles themselves are funny though, with liberal use of ALL CAPS and when certain characters talk to the World Serpent.

This has some real good I frames and you can cancel a ton of animations with a dodge. The triangle axe charge move is extremely dope as well. Built some armor, did a side quest, and now I'm off on another side quest. Kick rear end.

Ok I know now why people didn't know they could upgrade runic attacks. I'm still pretty early on (clearing Alfheim) and I was trying to figure out how to level them up and found nothing. I thought that maybe I needed a dwarf to do it or something. Then like 5 minutes later I'm in the middle of a random light bridge and a little tooltip in the corner pops up saying that I can upgrade light attacks now or something. I didn't level up, finish some goal or anything like that, I was just running around between combat encounters. Yep, I can level up the runic attacks now. So for a chunk of the game there actually is no indication that you can even upgrade those moves even when you already collected and used like 7 of them and then the option randomly becomes available with no fanfare.

I got the tooltip almost right away. Like I knew how to upgrade them before I found my first heavy Runic Attack, I just didn't have the exp for it and wanted BOY to shoot better.

I didn't end up spending a lot of skill points on my runic attacks because I discovered Charge of the White Bear and Frost Giant Frenzy relatively early on, which both ended up rocking.

So in various cutscenes where one of the dwarves does a delicate little dink of the hammer onto your axe and a little message comes up that says “+1 Mark of the Dwarves” what if anything does that actually do? Does anyone know? I can’t figure it out.

I think my favorite line in the game, at least the funniest one, was when I was in Tyr’s vault just hacking away at piles of treasure because it was fun to watch the coins and goblets get knocked around everywhere. I can’t remember where the conversation was at that point but BOY and Kratos had been talking for a while when a solution to some problem was revealed to be the act of destroying something and then... BOY to Kratos: well that shouldn’t be a problem because you sure do like breaking stuff. Mimir: HAAAA! The timing and cadence was perfect. Hype Man Mimir is awesome.

Just finished digging up the past... Sadly a lot of the gravity was lost to me since I have no idea why the weapons are so special (is that why his arms were bandaged, did he rip the blades out?) or who Athena is and why he's so haunted by her, but that whole section was just stunning. From the way the sky subtly darkened with red ashes at the Lake, the river journey, mournful soundtrack and the way it's filmed inside the house. Just beautifully done. Love how creepy it was too, I wasn't expecting too much but this game just keeps surprising me over and over again.

Very good design to have a maze with three feet of brown fog be filled with enemies whose main attack is launching waves of brown fog

Over There posted:I expect that the next game won't take too long come out, since they would be using the same engine. I'd say we will probably hear about it at an end of the year Sony event or E3 next year. It'll still take years to develop because the amount of content in the game is absolutely staggering. Of course there are gonna be sequels but I wouldn't expect the next game for at least 2-3 years. I wonder if it'll be a final swansong for the PS4 or a launch or near-launch title for the PS5. It would be one hell of a launch title.

One interesting idea is that, seeing as it's extremely unusual for there to be no planned DLC for this game and no season pass, they've taken what was going to be the DLC and used that as a base for the next game. In that case we could well see it sooner than we might expect (which would be loving awesome)

Thumbtacks posted:they reset once you kill the valk Yes but then when you finish the impossible one, as in the one that unlocks with the reset, the sword goes away for that one again and you can't repeat it. I haven't finished the impossible ones or even the last sword post-valk because the remaining challenges are ones I don't like mostly. And there's no way I'll ever do that no damage impossible one.

I’m on a part where you return to the mountain. An ogre busts out of a room and behind him there is a lantern thing for hels winds or whatever it’s called (green orbs). There is a source right below but it take a good 20 seconds to get back up. Can’t find another in between to chain it. What am I missing here?
